Every person has a history being born in Adam and when they were born again they started a new history in Christ. Old things passed away all things became new. When we are renewed in the spirit of our mind through the word of God and the Holy Spirit our new history in Christ is being logged in the memory center. Sometimes the Spirit stirs us up in these things through others (2Pt 1:13, 3:1,2) and sometimes we are stirred in our spirit (Acts 17:13). Sometimes the Holy Spirit stirs us up in the love of God (Rom 5:5) and sometimes we keep ourselves in that love (Jude 21) and build ourselves up in the most holy faith (Jude 20).

As we grow and become adult sons we are able to hear from God and make decisions in faith according to what we have been taught. The Holy Spirit can remind us and we can stir ourselves up by giving heed to the things that we have heard (Heb 2:1). Just because we have the Holy Spirit it does not mean that we are not able to function in our individual priesthood and make decisions in the will of God according to the faith we have been given through the word of God. The Father teaches his son and looks forward to the day when the son is able to function and live by the wisdom that he has been taught. The Father does not live out the faith that he has imparted to his son but the son lives it out and honors the Father by doing it.
