Through the teacher, I came to truly realize that the “Holy Spirit” comprehends all things. As a former atheist from a Buddhist family, I began believing in God and scoured internet sites and Christian books for answers. With no one to explain God to me in detail, I had to seek out information myself. However, every book, pastor, and teacher said different things, leaving me questioning: Are these truly people filled with the Holy Spirit? Is the Bible really God’s book? Is God truly alive? These doubts lingered unresolved. When I met the teacher and started attending his lectures, I began throwing all the questions I’d carried throughout my life at him. From an unbeliever’s perspective—whether God is alive, why this world exists if He is, and how we should live—to every mystery in Scripture, he taught me everything, answering every question without fail. Below is a fraction of the questions I asked. Beyond the curiosities of my life, he even addressed secrets I hadn’t thought to ask—like why menstruation exists for women or why aborted fetuses come into being—all rooted in Scripture, which astonished me further. I’d read the Bible multiple times, yet without wisdom, I hadn’t truly seen it. That every answer was in Scripture convinced me it’s indeed God’s book—an awe-inspiring realization that deepened my faith.
Have you ever had your questions answered until they ran dry?
These weren’t answers from human knowledge, understanding, or scholarship—questions about the unknowable, beyond human limits—and I asked them all. Through this, I felt Scripture’s claim that the Holy Spirit comprehends all things come alive. Below is a small portion of my questions:

The teacher answered without the slightest hesitation, as if casually drawing from a vast well of innate knowledge, effortlessly addressing every topic. Scripture says the Spirit-filled comprehend all—I saw it vividly before my eyes. Hearing all I’d longed to know about God’s mysteries and wisdom left me wanting nothing more. Back then, not knowing why I was born or why we live weighed my heart down, exhaustion and depression creeping in. Through his lectures, I learned my purpose and found a desire to live for that beautiful Word. Seeing the “example” of those already with him—beautiful, delicate, powerful tongues unlike the strange, disruptive noises of worldly churches—convinced me this place held truth. Their tongues beautified my heart, stirring an indescribable weighty power, unlike church tongues that hindered prayer focus. These believers, despite worldly toil, showed no weariness, willingly laboring more for seekers—a genuine beauty from the heart, not forced zeal—serving as my “example” and “model.” Among them, one with wisdom’s gift wrote with such depth and love-centeredness I assumed an elder penned it, only to find them younger than me—astounding wisdom shaming worldly adults. Another, younger still, cared with a breadth and depth rivaling any elder, humbling all who met them. Living beautifully with hope in the Word, unlike any church, they seemed angelic—unseen in my life—prompting, “Could I live like this? Could I change?” The teacher’s tongues were even more varied—tongues, praise, wisdom, interpretation, prophecy. His praise and prophecy quenched my parched longing for God, truth, and Scripture, like rain on dry ground, an oasis in a desert, soaking me in the Word’s grace. Praise’s content escapes recall, yet its beauty—“How can earthly words express this?”—pierces my core, lingering. In moments of desperate yearning for Christ’s hope, despite my toil-worn flesh, it comforted, strengthened, consoled. Mysteriously, it voiced my inexpressible heart, proving, “God is alive, seeing all.” Unlike worldly prophecies—shamanistic future-telling—his were God’s voice: rebuke, instruction, wisdom, praise. Living here, we often receive prayer and prophecy—when we stray from God, following fleshly habits, they unfailingly rebuke and redirect us.
I’d lived demanding my way—plans, desires—irritated, angry, depressed, or despairing when thwarted. Even pursuing truth, my lifelong habits persisted, earning constant rebuke. Initially, every decision or minor judgment met correction—frustrating, infuriating, judgmental, temper flaring. But knowing this truth benefits, not harms, I forced myself to reflect. Seeing my ugly habit of dismissing or resenting others when unmet, I doubted, “Am I irredeemable? Why, aiming for good, do I harbor such evil?” Despite moral knowledge, my emotions led me to sin repeatedly—vowing “Next time, I won’t,” yet falling again. Through endless stumbles and regrets, my limits clarified—I’d lived pridefully unaware of my wickedness. Even knowing, I repeated the cycle, sometimes despairing, distancing from God, prayer, and the Word, questioning, “Can I walk God’s path? Dare I shamelessly beg help?” The teacher urged reliance on God, saying such thoughts insulted Him. Confused—“How, desiring His Word and hope, am I insulting Him?”—I later saw that, despite pursuing hope, un shed fleshly habits naturally led to sin per Satan’s nature. Feeling guilt and clinging to prayer amid sin wasn’t my conscience alone—God held me to save me, evident in my stubborn habits. Having no goodness, only arrogant delusions—still sinning, yet alive—I came to realize, even just a little, how deeply grateful I should be for the grace that allows me to recognize sin as sin. Unable to fully shed sin or repent wholly, speaking of “truth” feels cautious, unworthy—I lack its fruit. Truth, beyond my full expression, is a sword shattering our absolutism. Growing up, only parents rebuked us—none but truth confronts inner sin, mirroring our evil, revealing its roots, shaming us, spurring struggle to break free.
So at first, whenever I heard words of rebuke through prophecy, I felt like I wanted to crawl into a hole and hide. But over time, I came to deeply realize that these words were just as much a life-giving force to me as words of wisdom or praise—words that gave me life and became a source of virtue and gratitude. I’d ponder, “Am I truly wrong? Where did I err?” rather than scoff. Rebuke details why actions are wrong, their causes, and consequences, revealing habits’ roots and results—certainty through Scripture that only forsaking them bears good fruit, driving me to pray and rely on God. Thought-bound people can’t guide others within thought—only those beyond, with spiritual wisdom, can lead the fleshly. Seeing thought’s limits requires stepping outside. Likewise, flesh-driven people can’t free others from that cycle—only those liberated can guide. Rebuke isn’t human—it demands divine wisdom piercing all human habits. Pastors, claiming it to be God’s rebuke, often use it to judge and measure their congregants according to their own preferences, desires, and habits, rebuking them to oppress or exploit them. Moreover, they merely flatter and sweet-talk the congregation to collect tithes and offerings, without even knowing what God’s rebuke truly is.
Their “fruit” pales beside this truth’s. Their tongues—beastly, chaotic noises—disrupt prayer, hoarsening voices, yet their lives mirror or worsen the world’s, despite fervent faith and evangelism—human limits glaring. They claim salvation, evidenced by such tongues, but true tongues here yield fragrant, evident fruit. Without knowing true tongues, prophecy, wisdom, and praise, I’d miss discerning false ones. Ignorant of truth, I’d have lived in zealous delusion, proud as a “saved child,” no different from them. Standing before truth’s mirror, distinguishing false from true, is immense grace. Whenever problems arise in daily life and I seek God’s wisdom, He doesn’t need time to ponder like humans do. Instead, many issues are resolved clearly and swiftly through His wisdom, which surpasses human thoughts and limitations. Through this, I come to deeply feel that God’s wisdom is perfect and complete—something far beyond what the human mind can comprehend or even imagine. I’ve had many such awe-inspiring experiences. We, bound by the limitations of our flesh, have been living inside a well—confined by the limits of our own experiences, wisdom, and thoughts—without even realizing that we were in a well. But when we come face to face with the vastness, depth, and breadth of God’s wisdom, we finally understand how proudly and arrogantly we’ve been living without knowing our true condition.
Prophetic interpretation of tongues pierces all hearts, centering them. We rarely feel God’s presence moment-to-moment, but through prophetic praise, I always sense He watches, knowing all. So my heart becomes all the more watchful concerning my sins and all the habits of my flesh. It strengthens endurance in trials, revealing providence in sorrows, fostering gratitude and reliance amid discipline. God cherishing us—mere cosmic dust—feels tangible. Living with worldly pastors breeds doubt—“Is this a true shepherd? Is God real?”—but truth fortifies faith, mirroring my flaws, showing insufficiency. Without this, it’s not truth—it must not only inspire belief but guide us to bear fruit. As Scripture’s living sword discerns our souls, applied in my life, its depth deepens. Selfish flesh lacks cross-bearing love—gifted ones compass us toward self-sacrifice, revealing through wisdom, rebuke, instruction, and praise how to forsake ourselves, sharpening awareness. My unknown habits, assertions, judgments—fused with me—are exposed and corrected in life’s moments. Rebuke doesn’t instantly fix, but recognition lets us cling to God. Wisdom-gifted ones reveal God’s work, detailing unseen habits and paths to good fruit—living proof fueling our longing for grace.
No matter what suffering, sorrow, or hardship one may be in, overcoming all things with gratitude and a joyful heart within God’s providence becomes a model and example for others. Also, since every person follows the flesh and has evil habits, understanding why those evil habits came to be enables one to have compassion and understanding toward all people. From that compassion and understanding flows love, and because that love is felt, many are drawn and find comfort. Since God’s wisdom comes forth through love, its fragrance is strong, and everyone can sense the beauty of that fragrance. If a gift is truly from God, then the fragrance that follows that gift causes others to long all the more for God’s gifts and to rely more deeply on Him. If you say you believe in God, yet still wander in search of proper knowledge or wisdom about Him, that is proof that the church or pastor you are currently learning from does not bear the fruits written in the Word. According to Scripture, one who possesses the Holy Spirit that discerns all things, and has the gift of wisdom or tongues, would not be wandering to find true faith. There is a prophet who possesses the Holy Spirit, and under the guidance of that prophet, one receives nurturing and growth through the gifts, being led to a firmer faith that depends on God. Such a person is the true shepherd sent by God. Doubt or questioning your faith signals it’s not salvific—examine your fruit coldly against Scripture.
