Hebrew 8:11 No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.
Here is one of the biggest problem with Christianity today this scripture clearly say no need to teach each other about GOD. For all will know GOD. Now I see a lot of preachers sort of teaching people how to know GOD. Yet when the commission was given it was to tell the world about the gospel(good news). More like introduce people to JESUS Christ and the Calvary. Then after people have received Christ they get baptized by the Holy Spirit.
Now when you get baptized by the Holy Spirit then your journey with Christ truly begins. The Holy Spirit then has the task of teaching you GODS word and how to apply to your everyday life. It is sad that the Holy Spirit is the most ignored of the trinity yet the Holy Spirit is the engine behind GOD. GOD is spirit and the holy spirit was with GOD in the beginning just like the word who is JESUS. Gen 1:2. John 1.The Holy Spirit has fascinated me with mind blowing Revelations of GODS word; and the revelation of what GOD has in store for me.
Now the Holly Spirit has lead me to believe that GOD wants us to learn about Him through his spirit not a fellow man. The Holly Spirit has been tasked with teaching us all things.As you can see in John:14:26: But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. GOD new that people have a tendency to twist things of GOD. After all JESUS came and fulfilled the law then it was no longer valid it become obsolete because it was fulfilled.
Man has a tendency of adding more and more restrictions to the laws of Moses the pharisee added more burdens to the people by twisting the laws to suit them. So GOD saw a need for his son to come and show us how to apply the laws.
The scripture says in Hebrews 10:5-7
Therefore, when Christ was about to come into the world, he said to GOD:
“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but a body you prepared for me;
with burnt offerings and sin offerings
you were not pleased.
Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll—
I have come to do your will, my God.’”
Now JESUS established a new way of serving GOD by doing his will meaning following the leading of the spirit. In all the walk of JESUS love and mercy were ahead of the laws. If you read the gospels JESUS healed a lot of people on the sabbath. The pharisee were outraged, because to them the law was above mercy and love. Yet ironically the arc of the covenant had the mercy seat above the tablets of the law.
It is very easy to get tangled into the traditions of the church and in the process miss GOD. In the old testament GOD was portrayed like this rigid being who wants just to punish and destroy. Yet in the person of JESUS he is such a loving caring GOD. He is so good he is almost wasteful. He became fresh to redeem us and he gave us his own spirit to help us get the best of him he elevated his word above his name so that the same standards that he expects us to live by he also is bound to it. Therefore he says heaven and earth may pass away but my world shall remain.
Previously GOD was a distant deity who no one could come near, Like on that mount Sinai. Now we can approach him with all boldness knowing that JESUS paved a way for us to fellowship with the father. Our heavenly fathers approach to us individuals varies from one individual to the next. His character remains the same from the foundation of the earth to eternity. Just because you struggled to get where you are does not mean GOD operates like that all the time.
There is so much GOD wants reveal to us but we are busy learning about GOD from our pastors or televangelist. Some preachers will go on to great length to give you so called keys or steps. just because those steps worked for the man of GOD do not mean GOD is visiting you the same way. All God wants you to do is just to seek him, yourself. You have to have your own experiences, trials that turn to testimonies.
Personally I have gone through so much but the more I experience difficulties the more I see GODS faithfulness. I have come to a point where I really do not mind what insults anyone says because they always say what the other fool before him/her said. I have just held on to GODS word for me. Now that word, no one can take it away from me.
Spend time with GOD in prayer, his word the bible, ask for a fresh revelation each time you read the bible. Praise him and worship him then he will start revealing himself to you. How he reveals himself is his prerogative just seek him. He may chose to reveal himself slowly or take to heaven at once and reveal unutterable things well he did with Paul he can do it for you. My friend GOD can do anything.
May GOD open up your mind to the limitless power of his nature and may he bless you now and for ever. Amen
