Only the Holy Spirit can show us spiritual truth. Anyone can hear the facts, study other people’s teaching, and gain something of an intellectual understanding about the meaning of Scripture. But apart from the Holy Spirit, the Bible will utterly fail to penetrate and transform the human heart. With the Spirit of God comes illumination – true understanding of what has been written. Every believer has the Holy Spirit, the One who inspired the writers of Scripture, and without His illuminating ministry to us, the truth of Scripture could not penetrate our hearts and minds… However, the Holy Spirit’s illuminating ministry cannot replace conscientious study. They work together. We should keep in mind that God Himself requires that we be diligent (2 Tim. 2:15). As we explore Scripture carefully and thoroughly, the Holy Spirit uses whatever tools we acquire, whatever godly wisdom we expose ourselves to, as the means to illuminate our hearts.

INSTRUCTIONS

In a dry cast-iron skillet toast pumpkin seeds, cumin seeds, pepper and
oregano over a low heat, shaking the pan occasionally. Heat until aromas
are released, about 5 minutes. Remove before seeds begin to brown and set
aside to cool. In a blender grind mixture until a powder forms. In blender
or food processor puree tomatillos, serrano chile, garlic, lettuce,
cinnamon, cilantro, radish tops, onion and salt until smooth. Preheat oven
to 350 degrees. In a large saucepan heat olive oil over a high heat.
Carefully, pour in pureed tomatillo mixture, and let sizzle for 30 seconds.
Stir in stock. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Turn up the heat to
high and bring to a boil. Stir in ground nut mixture and remove from the
heat. Puree in a food processor or blender, in batches, if necessary. Pass
through a fine strainer, pressing with the back of a ladle to extract all
the juices, into a 13 x 10-inch flameproof baking dish. Place the chicken
breasts in the sauce and bring to a boil over moderate heat. Cover with
foil and bake for 20 minutes. Serve the chicken and sauce over a bed of
white rice. Sprinkle radish slices over the top.

A Message from our Provider:

“Been falsely accused of the most awful things? Then you know how God feels”

The internal testimony of the Holy Spirit illuminates the believer so that he knows that the Scriptures are the Word of God. The biblical basis for this clarity is derived from two sources. First, the words of Scripture are self-attesting because they claim to be from God (2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:20–21). Second, the Holy Spirit’s dynamic power applies the truth of Scripture, resulting in a confident assurance in the Word itself (1 Cor. 2:4–16)… That does not mean that all who hear or read believe (Rom. 10:14–21), but it does mean that those who believe do so because of the convicting and illuminating work of the Holy Spirit.
