In order to understand the Bible (Holy sacred writ) accurately you must have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit because two very important realities must occur! The first one is a synthesis of the scriptures in which the Holy Spirit guides the reader to and amalgamates several texts in the scriptures together to formulate a specific message that the reader is to understand concerning themselves/something, some situation, or someone else in their life. The second one is revelation in the scriptures in which the Holy Spirit guides the reader’s mind beyond the viewed text in time into the eternal realm (which is not bound by time) in order to reveal (uncover) a specific message in the text that cannot be formulated through logical processes (ratiocination). The Holy Spirit accomplishes this reality not by driving the mind outside of itself as in demonic possession, but He guides the reader’s mind beyond the capacities of time while simultaneously protecting the psychological capabilities from disintegration. I have termed this reality an “Ecstatic Revelatory Experience” or E.R.E. for short. Both of these realities must be concomitant sources in accurately understanding the Bible and cannot be produced outside of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the reader’s heart!
