The Word of God is perfect — but without the Holy Spirit, even the perfect Word can be misunderstood.
Scripture isn’t just meant to be studied intellectually; it must be received spiritually. It’s not just about memorizing verses — it’s about encountering the Person behind them.
When the Word is read without the Spirit, it can become cold, mechanical, even burdensome. But when the Holy Spirit breathes on the Word, it comes alive. It pierces the heart. It transforms the soul.
“But people who aren’t spiritual can’t receive these truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means.” - 1 Corinthians 2:14 (NLT)
That’s why we don’t just need knowledge — we need revelation.
The same Bible that brings freedom to one person can feel like chains to another — the difference is the presence of the Holy Spirit. Let Him guide you into truth. Let Him teach you what the text truly means.
The Word and the Spirit always work together. Never separate the two.
