In 1 Cor 4:11-13, the Apostle Paul testifies to the Corinthians.
To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are poorly clothed, and beaten, and homeless.
And we labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;
being defamed, we entreat. We have been made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things until now. Now, what do you say of Paul? Has he lost his mind? Has he lost his intellect? Or has he become over-spiritual? He will answer you. "We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished but we are dishonored!" (See v 10) Apostle Paul has the mind of Christ. "But the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them (of progressively recognising, understanding; and becoming better acquainted with them) because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated." (1 Cor 2:14, Amplified) My friend, it is OK to be a fool for Christ's sake! And it is better to be over-spiritual than over-natural. "These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual." (See v 13) We do well to take heed of Paul's instruction to continue in the things which we have learned and teach the Holy Scriptures (which includes matters pertaining to witchcraft and not learning from HP) even from childhood stage, making them wise for salvation which is in Jesus Christ through faith. Because of Jesus,
