It is important to have a relationship with the Holy Spirit to interpret scripture because the Holy Spirit reveals, the holy spirit searches all things even the deep things of God (1cor. 2:10)
When the spirit of truth comes he will he will guide you in to all truths. John 16:13, therefore absent of the holy spirit you may just be reading a book with no revelation or interpretation.
The importance of having a relationship with Holy Spirit to Effectively interpret scripture
DISCUSSION QUESTION
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him". Hebrews 11:6 reveals how faith is so important that it is impossible to please God without it. What would you say is the greatest area, among believers, where faith is lacking?

Absolutely! It would be as if his word was dead and we know that is not true. But it falls on deaf ears when no revelation is present. It doesn't move you the same. There's another Shepard over their lives. They won't answer or come when called when the Shepard in this Kingdom speaks.Posted Monday, September 15, 2025 by Kiah Gilmore
Amen I also referenced John 16:13-15 for the simple fact that our Lord Christ made it be known that through our life-union with him we will be filled with his Spirit. The great encourager the great Counselor he is our helper he is our friend he is everything Christ was to his followers. Which was also by the fulfillment of the Holy Ghost, and we now have that same Spirit that Christ had when he walked upon this world filled grace and truth and Holy Spirit is doing the same in the ones who truly believe and follow him amen.Posted Friday, September 12, 2025 by Jared Howard
This is a great point and if there is no Holy Spirit to reveal then we just reading a book. Wow I loved how you ended this. Without Holy spirit to bring the truth power and illumination to the word it will hold no weight in your word time.Posted Thursday, September 11, 2025 by Alicia LewisThis is a great point and if there is no Holy Spirit to reveal then we just reading a book.
