UNDERSTANDING TRUE GROWTH IN CHRIST (The Series) Part 6
Brother James, OIC
1Jn 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Isa 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Heb 5:12 -14 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
How many times have we thanked God for something we are attributing to Him when in fact it wasn’t Him but the world and its god Satan? Yes in everything we are to give thanks (circumstances) but we are not to thank Him for everything (which the world offers as a solution).
I’ve watched religious spirits nurse their immaturity, legalism, self righteousness and dead works all in the name of Jesus. I’ve listened to people praise God for a medicine they took then the side effects became a worse curse. There is a difference between being a Physician that uses wisdom and a Doctor that pushes the latest pharmaceutical, especially when the warning label lists more problems than it cures if it really does cure.
True Growth in Christ requires growing out of our immature states into Solid Food - Power Birthing Truth.. How many of you are ready to come out from among them and stand separate to learn and grow in Truth whereby you can Speak the Truth in Love? Which is your only Divine Purpose. But here in the last days perilous times will be upon us and the immature and false brethren will follow every wind and wave of doctrine.
2Ti 3:1-5 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 4:2-4 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
To Preach the Word requires that you know it in Truth, today in this time that is very hard to find. Study to show yourself approved.
