100% God 100% Man
Something that I have meditated on for awhile is how connected to God was Jesus and can we attain to that level of inter-connectedness?
Jesus had the uncanny ability to read minds. I have been reading through Luke and on several occasions he knew what others where thinking. So my question is "was that just because he was 100% God?" or "Can we do something similar with the correct 'yielding to the spirit'?"

I often think we under-utilize, or are unaware of the POWER we have because the Spirit of God lives in us.
However, a key difference between us and Christ: we are not God.

Exactly my point but equaly exacting in not answering my question!!! Yes Jesus was God and therefore a special relationship was formed beyond what we are capible of.
BUT, where does that relationship's effect stop and where does an attitude of faith start. Jesus is called the author of our faith for a reason. He needed faith to do what he did. And so do we. Obviously.
So what are we, then, capible of?

All things are possible through God who gives us strength.

I guess I am looking for a little more thought here...

Peter knew that Ananius and Saphira were lying. Some people think that this knowledge was given by the Spirit. Therefore, the same could be said of Jesus, but no one really knows.
