A call to embrace the supernatural witness of the Holy Spirit and knowing the Spirit within
Beloved,
I write to you not as one who holds answers of the mind, but as one whose heart has burned with the voice of the Spirit. You who are called by the name of Yeshua, do you not know that what you have received is not the spirit of this world, but the Spirit who is from God? That Spirit whispers in places no man can reach. He speaks not to the mind first, but to the soul—deep to deep, glory to glory.
The Apostle wrote, “What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us” (1 Corinthians 2:12, AMP). And yet today many walk as though this Spirit were silent. They search the Scriptures for arguments, but not for awe. They assemble sermons that dazzle the intellect, but do not break the heart. This is not the way of God.
The witness of the Spirit cannot be packaged. It is not a theory to teach. It is a Presence to encounter. “The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God” (Romans 8:16, NASB). This is not poetry; it is reality. Have you heard Him? Has your spirit trembled under the weight of His holiness? Has your soul been kissed by the fire of His truth?
You may know doctrine well. You may have walked many years in the church house. But I ask you, dear child of God—has your heart known Him? Not merely believed, but known. “This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Yeshua the Messiah whom You have sent” (John 17:3, NASB).
There is a kind of knowledge that words cannot touch. There is a voice the outward ear cannot hear. It is the still, inward breath of Ruach HaKodesh—the Holy Spirit—hovering over the soul like He hovered over the waters in the beginning. “You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know” (1 John 2:20, NASB). How? By the inner witness, the sacred yes of the Spirit.
Do not reduce what is holy to what is explainable. The world demands signs and arguments. But the Spirit reveals Himself to the surrendered, not to the skeptical. He bypasses the defenses of reason and writes the name of the Father upon the heart. Those who are born of Him walk not by sight but by the light within.
The question is not, “Do you understand everything?” The question is, “Have you been seized by God?” Has your soul heard the thunder of His whisper? Have you become alive with a life not your own? If not, I urge you—do not settle for a religion of facts. Cry out, as the Psalmist did, “My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; when shall I come and appear before God?” (Psalm 42:2, NASB).
Let us no longer boast in knowledge alone. Let us boast in intimacy with the Holy One. Let us return to the fire that cannot be taught, only caught. Let us abandon formulas for fellowship, programs for Presence, and pride for prayer.
And now, I urge you—press in. Seek Him while He may be found. Quiet your soul. Lay down your striving. Let the Spirit testify.
The wind blows where it wills. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit (John 3:8, NASB).
Prayer
Abba,
Breathe upon us again. Awaken the deep places in our hearts. Forgive us for reducing the mystery of Your Spirit to human logic. We hunger not for religion, but for You. Let Your Spirit witness to ours. Let us know we are Yours—not just by Scripture, but by encounter.
We surrender every argument, every doubt, every fear. Work supernaturally within us this day. Let us walk with You in step, in Spirit, in truth. Lead us back to that sacred fire where all that matters is knowing You—together with Your Son, Yeshua, and the breath of Your Spirit forevermore.
Amen.
