YOUR BESETTING SINS AND ... YOUR WOWs
It's nice that you sit at the feet of anointed teachers and hear power packed phrases that are a culmination of the teachers revelation, hard fought battles, and maturity developed by life's trial and errors. It's very cute when the hungry students says, WOW over and over again, as the phrases come one after another like missiles hitting the bullseye time after time. I say cute, because at the moment, the student does not have the foggiest notion what the speaker said, even though it was perfectly said, and anointed. Many times even the speaker has no idea what he just said, and he or she is later WOWed.
What is happening is your mind is hearing kingdom truth as it passes through the air from spirit to spirit. When a WOW comes out of a hearers mouth, if you ask them "what did the speaker just say, most of the time they can't repeat it, or tell you what it means, much less how it applies to their everyday life. I see hearers all the time, leave a meeting after they have expressed 20 WOWs and repeat the very besetting sin that the WOWs were dealing with, and not even realize it. "The good that (you) would, (you) do not: but the evil which (you) would not, that (you) do." Romans 7:19 (KJV)
This does not upset Me because I know the process that must take place. "For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God." 1 Corinthians 2:11 (KJV) Follow this closely and you will understand transference; Your natural man, physically carried your spirit man, to a natural physical building, to use your natural physical ears to hear supernatural spiritual truth that can only be received by your supernatural spirit man. As those supernatural truths pass from a teachers spirit by the power of My supernatural Holy Spirit, they must pass through your natural ear canal, on through you natural brain, and dropping into your spirit man, to be digested over the next weeks, months and years. As the natural brain hears them, even though they cannot be understood, they sound exciting, refreshing, and so revolutionary, that the natural mouth expression is WOW, and if two truths are back to back it's WOW WOW.
Now if you interview the WOWer immediately after the awesome meeting, they can hardly repeat any thing said, without fumbling through notes, much less tell you how it changed their life. Many can't even tell you the title or topic because they were so WOWed, The truth is, it hasn't changed their life at all, because their spirit man has not yet digested the supernatural food, so it can be slowly spoon fed to the natural man, which slowly changes his character over the next weeks, months and years. Remember "The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them , because they are spiritually discerned." 1 Corinthians 2:14 (KJV) Your salvation has nothing to do with this, because it is not based on understanding but on faith, "By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) I am explaining the process of character change and the development of spiritual maturity.
When you get up from the table after eating a fantastic meal, and say WOW that was a great meal, do you go to the mirror to see how you have grown? However in a year you may look in the mirror and say WOW, because you can see the effects of the years of your eating. In the spiritual realm the your family, friends, neighbors, and co-laborers are your mirror, you can really get excited when they look at your life and begin to say WOW as you go about your daily chores.
Then you can say, WOW, LOOK WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE!!!!!!
