xxx What impresses you? Carnal reasoning & logic or the Word of God(verses)? Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The Holy Spirit only quotes verses and He doesnt need any carnality to explain other verses. He can do it with verses. But He will not do it until someone purges their mind of the carnality. When you only have verses this is called sanctified(the washing of water by the Word). Now many are called to this sanctification, but only few are chosen to obtain it.

5 Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?-- unless indeed you are disqualified.
