Just Words or Life?

The words in the Bible, without the life giving breath of the Holy Spirit on them which brings revelation and enlightenment to them, is a dead letter. When read, without the Spirit, they only ascend to our mental faculties, as to dry bones. We can state it’s facts, rehearse them, and spew them out of our mouths to others, but they will bring no life to it’s hearers. It may bring rote, self willed behavior, or legalism, but nothing which will supply any substance of true growth in Christ.
After being filled with the Holy Spirit, as we read the Bible, it becomes His Word which reveals God’s heart and mind, and brings Life! Passages which have been taught, according to the traditions of men in error, now become interpreted by the Spirit that leads into all truth, and begin to speak of things beyond what the written word “seems” to say. It transcends it, as does the One who reveals it. The flesh of men strictly interprets according to the flesh, within the confines of it, (which is how denominations are created)  but the life giving Spirit plumbs the depths of who Christ is, His ways and His Kingdom. If this new wine of the Spirit is poured into the old wine skins, (men’s understanding, void of the Spirit) it will burst. In other words, you can’t mix them. The Spirit is superior to the flesh; life conquers death.
“Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed?”-Acts 19:2
