The Spirit of Truth and Spiritual Mentors

Image
One of the ways God gets our attention is when the Spirit of Truth illuminates a passage as we read the Bible (John 16:13). We may have gone over the bible several times and still some doctrines in scripture can remain hidden because of our theological lenses or preconceived ideas. We develop these theological lenses or preconceived notions when we listen to preachers or get caught up with media much more than we read or listen to the bible. Our fountain of learning is not from the source, but is somewhat like third hand knowledge or stale manna. Doing this actually conditions us to ignore or become callous to the Spirit (2 Cor 4:2-6).

It was the standard ritual: hands clasped, eyes closed, reciting the lists and the rhymes. "God bless mommy, God bless daddy..." But even as a child, something in my spirit felt restless. From the outside, it looked like I was doing the right thing. I was saying the words. But inside, I felt like I was just launching words at the ceiling. It felt one-sided. It felt like a monologue. One night, the dissatisfaction was too much. I slipped out of my room and into the backyard. The air was cool, and the night sky was vast, scattered with stars that seemed to hum with a silence I couldn't find indoors. I started walking. Pacing the grass. And there, under the open canopy of heaven, I stopped "saying prayers" and started talking to a Person. "Why do I have to jus...
