Hearing the words of Jesus with understanding!

“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” John 6:63

Many times we read or hear the words of Jesus but cannot understand them. This can be attributed to our lack of spiritual maturity or biblical knowledge.

This also happens because we are not walking in oneness with Jesus and connected to Him through the Holy Spirit.

At times, the words of Jesus can be mysterious and difficult. Jesus is not asking a believer to attempt to connect the words into an accurate interpretation. The revelation will come in the perfect timing of God.

The words may be prophetic about the future. Jesus gives believers signs about their journey with Him but they are not intended for taking immediate action. 

It is impossible to interpret the words of Jesus with the human mind. The believer must be filled with the Holy Spirit and yielding to His authority. 

The sin of a believer will block the words of Jesus and grieve the Holy Spirit. We have to be clean with the blood of Jesus and open to the conviction of the Holy Spirit.

The words of Jesus are Spirit and can only be grasped by the Spirit sealed in a believer. 

This why the Bible instructs believers to abide in the teachings of the Holy Spirit comparing spiritual life with spiritual truth.

God has given every believer the mind of Christ. He will help you navigate through life with the omniscient wisdom of Jesus.
