We definitely need the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth, to guide us. However, if he does truly guide us to seek for such hidden treasures, then what will be the outcome of the same? I will quote it again, but with emphasis on the hidden treasures part this time.
Pro 2:1
My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
Pro 2:2
So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
Pro 2:3
Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
Pro 2:4
If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
Pro 2:5
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
Those who truly incline their ears unto wisdom, those who truly apply their hearts to understanding, and those who truly cry after knowledge, while searching for the same as if for hidden treasures, will ultimately understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. How many people truly have it today, Blain? Based upon my own observations with many different professing Christians in many different places, I would have to honestly say that hardly any truly have it. In fact, as I said the other day, I have had my head torn off by many of them for even suggesting that we need to fear God.
Pro 9:10
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
In the New Testament, we are told that God did not give the Spirit to Jesus by measure (John 3:34).
In an Old Testament prophecy about Jesus, we are told something very interesting about this Spirit that Jesus had.
Isa 11:1
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
Isa 11:2
And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
Isa 11:3
And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
Isa 11:4
But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
Isa 11:5
And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
Jesus needed the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD to make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD. Are we greater than Jesus? I am sorry, in a sense, for being so repetitive, but I am honestly trying to expose a major root of the problem which you have inquired about so that it might possibly be resolved. That said, I am not naïve enough to believe that many people will embrace what I am saying. Nevertheless, if I am going to speak, then I am going to speak the truth.
