Thoughts on Inspiration and Illumination
There are many definitions for Inspiration: The month of February is
a good time to contemplate being on the brink of spring' s inspirational coming of newness. Only a few brave flowers push through the snow reminding us our world will soon be blooming. Inspiration is the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something unusual, especially to do something creative: New Growth is something that inspires us to move ahead on a new idea or information. We can have inspiration with out divinity. This is revelation. "A person or thing that has an uplifting influence on one's intellect, emotion or creativity
The act of having an elevated stimulus upon one's intellect, emotion or creativity
The act of drawing in breath
A clever or brilliant idea that arises suddenly” . Wikipedia
“Divine inspiration is the concept of a force, typically a deity, causing a person or people to experience a spiritual creative desire. It has been a commonly reported aspect of many religions.” Wikipedia
Divine Inspiration: the Recording of God’s Truth
Divine inspiration refers to the supernatural or deity's influence upon the writers of Scripture that caused them to make record of God’s truth as it is seen.
Illumination: The Spiritual Understanding of Truth by Believers
Illumination is the divine influence of God’s Spirit that helps us understand the truth of God found in the Bible.
Illumination is something that comes directly from the Holy Spirit and is available to every believer.
Paul wrote:
God has revealed these to us by the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God... The unbeliever does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him. And he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. (1 Corinthians 2:10,14 NET)
Through the work of God the Holy Spirit, the believer is able to comprehend the things of God; they are to be understood spiritually. “Spiritual illumination refers to the process of awakening and enlightening one’s inner consciousness, transcending the physical realm to attain a higher level of spiritual awareness and understanding.” Spiritual Desk So with these thoughts in mind we welcome February's prediction of Spring's Blossoming into Inspiration and Illumination for all.
