The Holy Spirit has revealed to us the profound difference between "intuitive" knowledge and, that is, the "inner man" or "spirit man" (Col. 1:27) knows all things while the "outward man" or "carnal man (the flesh)" remains ignorant.
I will provide you with an illustration:
- (A) = represents the "carnal man" who is "ignorant" (being ignorant is NOT being STUPID. Stupidity and ignorance are totally different paradigms).
- (B) = represents the "spiritual man" who is "all knowing" as a result of tapping into the wisdom of the Holy Spirit.
(A) knows that (B) exists inside of him. (A) does not know that (B) is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. Therefore, (A) is ignorant and summarily powerless to resist the tricks of the enemy.
(B) is frustrated with (A) because (A) will not believe what (B) is telling him about who he is, what he has inside of him and what (B) has already done to prepare a way for him from the foundation of the world.
It is critical for (A) to move past the "renewal of his mind" (Rom. 12:1-2) into "spiritual wisdom" the place of "freedom and peace" in the Holy Spirit (the place where all channels are clear from any distraction so that (A)'s mind can:
- "discern": receive continual revelation from the Holy Spirit;
- "understand": comprehend what he has seen and process the information in his mind; and,
- "perform": execute what has been revealed to him by FAITH and believe that he has already received it by becoming an "active participant" by serving God's people in the marketplace.
