Satruday's Scratch - Subjective Impressions Versus Authorial Intent

Though the Spirit’s work in our hearts is subjective and unique to each individual believer, that subjective aspect must always be governed by the grammatical-historical method of biblical interpretation that is anchored in authorial intent...

The Spirit is God, and for the Spirit to illumine the biblical text in a way that does not honor his inspiration would be a contradiction of his divine nature. Consequently, we do not disregard the role of the reader of the biblical text, but instead we assert that the reader should always be subject to the author’s original intent. So a reader of the biblical text who puts the Spirit’s illumination at odds with the Spirit-intended meaning of the text is actually dishonoring the Spirit’s original work in inspiration.
