The Living Word of God - Spiritual Growth !

Good morning,
To the beloved Children of God
The Living Word of God  -
Spiritual Growth !


Now is the time, awake from sleeping people of God, in this season ! God is speaking to you from 2 Peter 1:5-8,
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Too many people have poor or little spiritual insight. Read 2 Peter 1:5-8 again, (For if these things be in you) now read on.  Some people seem to be unable to recognize God's abounding blessings already granted to us and insist upon His doing that which He has already done for us. In order for spiritual growth to occur, you first need to make sure you possess a true spiritual life through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. God is a Spirit, and those who worship him must worship Him (the Lord) in spirit and truth. It's in John 4:23-24, But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.The ultimate reason for the condemnation of men is that they don't give glory to God, the human ( mankind) race is looking for glory. When man abandoned the concept of glorifying God, he cut himself off from spiritual life and growth. Peter began and ended his very practical epistles with an injunction for believers to grow. Spiritual growth is basic to the life of a believer, just as physical growth is basic to the life of any person. We need to grow in our spiritual walk daily, from faith to faith. Jabez, a faithful servant of the Lord in ancient Israel, had the right conception concerning God and his relation to Him. He realized that the Lord was all powerful and that all things are in His hands. Some people think that if they have been active in the church or been in church from a child age, then they have grown spiritually. This is not true, it's a form of godliness. They have denied God's power and His Word.Time is a factor in spiritual growth, understand those who continue to grow over a long period of time with God's Word will be more spiritual minded. Certainly time is important with God ! But the amount of time isn't what is important; it is a commitment to the principles of the word that makes the difference.The Pharisees were busy in religion, and no one was further from the truth than they were. For it is written in Matthew 7:22-23, Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. All of the created universe is designed to give glory to God only. The people that refused to see the glory of God in the Temple was also set aside. It's in Hebrews 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. The generation that didn't see the glory of God in Jesus Christ was cut off,from the blessing of God. Understand,God gives them over to a reprobate mind. It's in Romans 1:28-32,says that And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. We should be striving for perfection and seeking God's Will everyday. We need to make His Word and our relationship with Him the number one priority in our lives. God has giving us the key to spiritual growth, in His Word. Heavenly Father, we need to hear from you. We need a word from you Lord. For we are striving for perfection and seeking Your Will Lord daily. For we are your servants, looking to please you.For it is written in 2 Peter 1:1-4, Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. Thank you Lord for your Living Word. Amen !
