1 CORINTHIANS 2:11

IS IT POSSIBLE TO READ GOD’S MIND ? “For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.” (1 Cor.2:11)

GOD CAN READ OUR MINDS! Ezekiel 11:5 Genesis 6:5 Think of the ramifications!

GOD CAN READ OUR MINDS! BUT WE CANNOT READ THE MIND OF GOD!

GOOD NEWS!!! JOHN 15: Corinthians 2:12-16

GOD COMMUNICATES HIS WILL TO YOU AND ME: God must have the desire to communicate with us … and He does! God must communicate to us truthfully … and He has! God must communicate to us through means/language we can relate to … and He did!

BUT THIS IS NOT ENOUGH! “But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” (1 Cor.2:14) WE MUST BECOME SPIRITUAL IN OUR THINKING!

Having “the mind of Christ.” Colossians 3:1-3 Romans 12:1-2 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 Ephesians 4:20-24 God enables those who want to know Him to do so!

YOU CAN KNOW THE MIND OF GOD! MATTHEW 11:28-30
