OUR BATTLE
CRY :
"BECOME IMMOVABLE" â I am immovable. I am a warrior. I refuse to be a victim of circumstance. I will not keep silent nor hold my peace day or night.
âSon of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore hear the word at my mouth and give them warning from me.â â Ezekiel 3:17
âI have set watchmen upon thy walls O Jerusalem, shall never hold their peace day or night, ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silentâ â Isaiah 62:6
âYou are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.â
â I Thessalonians 5:5-6
Â
[VISION]
OUR CALL TO ARMS:
Create a worldwide network of watchmen committed to sealing the breaches in the wall and stand in one accord to watch over their individual spheres of influence.
WE WILL NOT BE THE BREACH IN THE WALL BECAUSE WE COMMIT TO PURSUING MENTAL, EMOTIONAL, AND SPIRITUAL MATURITY
âWhoever has no rule over his own spirit Is like a city broken down, without walls.â
â Proverbs 25:28 NKJV
WE WILL TAKE UP OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MATURE AND KNOW GOD FOR OURSELVES SO WE ARE NOT DECEIVED â WE WILL NOTÂ MAKE PEOPLE OUR SOURCE.
"Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you...and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people....For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect--if that were possible. See, I have told you ahead of time." â Matthew 24: 4-25
âThese things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you. But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.â 1 John 2:26-27
I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, âKnow the Lord,â for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. â Hebrews 8:10-11
ââŚand it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams. and on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.â â Joel 2:28-29
âBut this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:âŚand it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams. and on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.â â Acts 2:16-18
Â
[MISSION]
OUR MARCHING ORDERS:
âBREAK THE SYSTEMâ - To take up our position in the army of the Most High and break the system of the false prophet by confronting manmade systems within ourselves, religion, business, family, entertainment, government, media, and education.
WE ARE NONCONFORMISTS WHO DO NOT FIT WITHIN MANMADE SYSTEMS
âDo not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is good and acceptable and perfect will of God.â â Romans 12:2
WE DO NOT TOLERATE THE SPIRIT OF THE FALSE PROPHET WITHIN OURSELVES, AND WE WILL GUARD OTHERS AGAINST IT
"And the Lord said to me, âThe prophets prophesy lies in My name. I have not sent them, commanded them, nor spoken to them; they prophesy to you a false vision, divination, a worthless thing, and the deceit of their heart. Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who prophesy in My name, whom I did not send, and who say, âSword and famine shall not be in this landâââBy sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed! And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword..." â Jeremiah 14:14-16
"But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you...especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries, whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord.â â II Peter 2:1-11
âBeware of false prophets, who come to you in sheepâs clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits⌠Not everyone who says to Me, âLord, Lord,â shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, âLord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?â And then I will declare to them, âI never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!â - Matthew 7:15-23
âI know your works, love, service, faith and your patience⌠Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teachâŚâ â Revelation 2:20
âWoe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way.â â Luke 6:26
WE RELENTLESSLY WAR AND WEEP FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BECOME PRISONERS OF WAR, PAWNS, AND COLLATERAL DAMAGE - WE DO NOT OUTCAST THOSE AFFLICTED BY JEZEBEL.
âOh, that my head were waters, and my eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and nightâŚâ â Jeremiah 9:1
"For a righteous man may fall seven times And rise againâŚâ â Proverbs 24:16
"Lord said to me, âThe prophets prophesy lies in My name. I have not sent them, commanded them, nor spoken to them; they prophesy to you a false vision, divination, a worthless thing, and the deceit of their heart⌠By sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed!⌠Let my eyes flow with tears night and day, and let them not ceaseâŚâ â Jeremiah 14:14-17
ââŚand the scoffer is an abomination to men⌠Deliver those who are drawn toward death, and hold back those stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, âSurely we did not know this,â Does not He who weighs the hearts consider it?â â Proverbs 24:9-12
âDo not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles; Lest the Lord see it and it displease Him, And He turn away His wrath from him.â â Proverbs 24:17-18
âBut you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. On some have compassion, making a distinction; but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.â â Jude 1:10-23
Â
[OATHÂ OF AN ENLISTED WATCHMAN]
OUR TENETS:
I will support and defend the purposes of God against all spiritual enemies, bearing immovable faith and allegiance to the Truth; and I will obey the will of the Most High and submit to those appointed over me, according to where God has positioned me.
WE ARE NOT CONCERNED WITH THINGS OF THIS WORLD
âNo one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.â â2 Timothy 2:4
WE ARE IMMOVABLE
"âA man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.â â Proverbs 12:3
WE ARE NOT FAINT OF HEART
âIf you faint in the day of adversity your strength is small.â â Proverbs 24:10 NJKV
WE ACCEPT THE CALL OF THE MARTYR, WE ARE UNOFFENDABLE, AND TAKE UP JESUSâ POSTURE TOWARD ALL â WE LIVE AS SONS OF THE MOST HIGH
âLord, who may abide in Your tabernacle, Who may dwell in Your holy hill? He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart; He who does not slander / backbite with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor, nor does he take up a reproach against his friend; In whose eyes a vile person is despised, but he honors those who fear the Lord; he who swears to his own hurt (martyr) and does not change (steadfast); He who does not put out his money at usury, nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.â â Psalm 15
"But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone takes our cloak, do not withhold your tunic as well. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you. If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.â â Luke 6:27-36
âThen Jesus said, âFather, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.â â Luke 23:34
âWhen we are slandered, we try to be conciliatory and answer softly.â â I Corinthians 4:13 AMP
âDo not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles; Lest the Lord see it and it displease Him, And He turn away His wrath from him.â â Proverbs 24:17-18
âLove suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.â â 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
WE PREPARE FOR FLOODS, WAVES, AND TORRENTS
âWhy do you call Me âLord, Lord,â but not do what I say? I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them: He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid his foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well builtâ â Luke 6:46
âTherefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because its foundation was on the rock.â â Matthew 7:24-25
WE WILL NOT BE DOUBLE-MINDED
âMy brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.â â James 1:2-8
ââŚthese are spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots; raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.â â Jude 1:12-13
âWho is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.â â James 3:13-18
Â
OUR COMMITMENT:
[WE BELIEVE WE MUST NO LONGER BEÂ BABES ANDÂ BE IN UNITY WITH ALL THE GIFTS OF THE BODY IN ORDER TO FULFILL GOD'S WILL]
WE SEEK COMMUNITY AND SUBMIT WHERE GOD HAS APPOINTED US SO THAT WE MAY MATURE AND UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE PICTURE
"For we know in part and we prophesy in part.â â I Corinthians 13:9
WE WALK WORTHY OF OUR CALL AND ARE NO LONGER CHILDREN
ââŚwalk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with long-suffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all⌠And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the headâChristâ from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.â â Ephesians 4:1-9
WE SUBMIT TO BEING FULLY TRAINED INTO MATURE LEADERS WITH CLARITY OF SIGHT
âJesus also told them a parable: âCan a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.â â Luke 6:39-40
âMy brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment. For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.â â James 3:1-2
WE PURSUE MATURE DISCERNMENT
âFor though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.â â Hebrews 5:12-14
âTherefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.â â Hebrews 6:1-2
WE STRIVE TO BECOME BLAMELESS, SINGLE-MINDED, SOBER-MINDED, TEMPERATE, AND REVERENT
ââŚmust be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach; not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?); not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil. Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devilâŚÂ holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience. But let these also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, being found blameless⌠not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things...â â 1 Timothy 3:1-13
âDo all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world" â Philippians 2:14-15
WE WILL NOT POLLUTE THE PROPHETIC BY BEING POLLUTED SPRINGS
âSee how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening?â â James 3: 5-11
WE DO NOT SETTLE FOR GODâS PERMISSIBLE WILL, WE PURSUE HOLINESS AS PRIESTS OF GOD
âEverything is permissible for me,â but not everything is beneficial. âEverything is permissible for me,â but I will not be mastered by anything.â â1 Corinthians 6:12
ââŚand be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.â â Ephesians 4:23
âComing to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus ChristâŚBut you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; â â I Peter 2:4-9
Â
OUR CULTURE:
[SERVANTHOOD, UNITY, HONOR, HUMILITY, TRANSPARENCY, CHARACTER]
WE DO NOT STRIVE FOR POSITION BUT LIVE A LIFE OF SERVANTHOOD
âAnd when the ten heard it, they began to be greatly displeased with James and John. But Jesus called them to Himself and said to them, âYou know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant. And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.â â Mark 10:41
WE DO NOT COMMAND HONOR, WE WALK WORTHY OF IT AND HONOR ALL, PUTTING OTHERS ABOVE OURSELVES
"Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others." â Philippians 2:3-4
âHonor all people.â â I Peter 2:17
WE DO NOT BUILD ALTARS FOR MEN TO STAND ON OR KINGDOMS FOR MEN TO OWN. WE DO NOT PARTAKE IN CELEBRITY CULTURE
âBut when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from himâ â Daniel 5:20
WE WALK IN UNITY AS ONE BODY AND ONE ACCORD
âNow I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.â â I Corinthians 1:10
âTherefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.â â Philippians 2:1-2
WE DO NOT SELL THE GOSPEL, WE PRESENT THE GOSPEL
âDo you not know that those who minister the holy things eat of the things of the temple, and those who serve at the altar partake of the offerings of the altar? Even so the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel. But I have used none of these things, nor have I written these things that it should be done so to me; for it would be better for me to die than that anyone should make my boasting void. For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel! For if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if against my will, I have been entrusted with a stewardship. What is my reward then? That when I preach the gospel, I may present the gospel of Christ without charge, that I may not abuse my authority in the gospel.â â 1 Corinthians 9:13-18
Â
WE DO NOT JUDGE OURSELVES, OR OTHERS, OR RENDER VERDICTS THAT LEAD TO CONDEMNATION. WE STAND ON THE NEW COVENANT OF GRACE.
ââŚwho also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.â â II Corinthians 3:6
âBut with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord. Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the heartsâŚâ â I Corinthians 4:3-5
âJudge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brotherâs eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, âLet me remove the speck from your eyeâ; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First, remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brotherâs eye⌠Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.â â Matthew 7:1-12
âThere is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.â â Romans 8:1-8
WE DO NOT SETTLE FOR GODâS PERMISSIBLE WILL, WE PURSUE HOLINESS AS PRIESTS OF GOD
âEverything is permissible for me,â but not everything is beneficial. âEverything is permissible for me,â but I will not be mastered by anything.â â1 Corinthians 6:12
ââŚand be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.â â Ephesians 4:23
âComing to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus ChristâŚBut you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; â â I Peter 2:4-9
WE ARE TRANSPARENT AND UNASHAMED TO LEAN ON EACH OTHER
"For by wise counsel you will wage your own war, And in a multitude of counselors there is safety.â â Proverbs 24:6-7
WE BEAR GOOD FRUIT (FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT) NOT JUST WORKS
âNo good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thorn bushes, nor grapes from brambles. The good man brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.â â Luke 6:43-45
âBut the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.â â Galatians 5:22-23
âBut the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.â â James 3:17-18
WE BECOME ALL THINGS TO ALL AND SPEAK IN LANGUAGE THEY UNDERSTAND
âThough I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from Godâs law but am under Christâs law), so as to win those not having the law. To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.â â 1 Corinthians 9: 19-23
âFor the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.â â 1 Corinthians 1:18
âBut 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.â â 1 Corinthians 2:14
âThough I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.â â 1 Corinthians 13:1
WE DO NOT PURSUE EMPTY RELIGION BUT PURSUE SPIRITUAL WISDOM AND THE DEMONSTRATION OF THE POWER AND GLORY OF GOD
âAnd my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory⌠But as it is written: âEye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.â But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 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. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God These things we also speak, not in words which manâs wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 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. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For âwho has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?â But we have the mind of Christ." â I Corinthians 2
