THE HUMAN SPIRIT SEARCHES : In (1 Corinthians 2:10), both uses of the word Spirit are capitalized. The first part of the verse says, "But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit.... This is referring to the Holy Spirit. But where it says,... "For the Spirit searches all things, yea the deep things of God, that is not referring to the Holy Spirit. That refers to the human spirit or heart--- your spirit. Proverbs says it this way: "The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly ."(Proverbs 20:27) Now, another version read, "The spirit of man [that factor in human personality which proceeds immediately from God] is the Lamp of the Lord, searching all his innermost parts." The amplified Bible. The human spirit is the light bulb that God uses to enlighten you. God's Spirit beareth witness with your spirit. God's spirit bears witness with our spirit and enlightens our spirit. For the spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. I believe the apostle Paul is referring here to the human spirit, for the Holy Spirit does not need to search the things of God. The Holy Spirit already knows the things of God. It's the human spirit that searches the deep things of God. When you are asleep, that is when your body is asleep, the seeds you have planted in the heart or your spirit are producing. And you don't really know how. All you did was sow them, and go to bed and get up. YOUR SPIRIT KNOWS--GOD'S SPIRIT KNOWS : "For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of the man which is in him ? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. "(1 Corinthians 2:11) God's spirit knows all about God, and your spirit knows all about you. If you get your spirit in contact with God's Spirit, you have tapped the source of all knowledge. "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we may know the thing that are freely given to us of God." (1 Corinthians 2:12). We need to connect this with what Paul said in verse nine. Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, through the natural five senses. You didn't see it by physical eye, you didn't hear it with the natural ear, but God revealed it. It came by revelation of the Holy Spirit into your spirit. The spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God. So, after you sow the seed into your heart, or spirit while your body sleeps at night, your spirit searches for the wisdom and revelation of God in regard to ways and means to bring that seed to production. Then you will wake up some morning with an idea that came from the Spirit of God into your heart, and you won't know when or how it came. Verse 12 states that God gave us the human spirit so that He could reveal the things of God to us. "Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man received not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." (1 Corinthians 2:13--14).
