"Follow the will of God you already know and this will lead to the will of God you do not yet know." Jonathan Cahn
Walking in the will of God can only happen if we seek the will of God to obey through Bible reading and prayer that the Holy Spirit will bless us with His wisdom.
So many people are chasing after the things of this life asking God to bless them with material wealth, prestige, many friends and a legion of other things, they are missing the greatest blessing of all, which is wisdom from the heart of God. I have experienced many people who seek to have knowledge about the Bible as they choose to understand it for their own happiness and aggrandizement, they miss the truth that is right in front of them. They seek the words of the Bible to be able to justify what they want to believe. They read and study without the help of the Holy Spirit and they mix and match verses snatching them out of their context to come up with their desired belief.
There is more fantasy going on in the churches today than there is truth.
God told us to agree, one might ask how is that even possible?
Every born-again believer can agree if they seek the Holy Spirit for the truth and believe what God said in His word, keeping all passages within their context and then the context of the rest of the Bible.
Most "Christians" today do not believe God so they change His word to mean what they wish it to mean. Many of these people do this in relationships too, they concoct in their minds what they wish to believe about someone that may not be true and act upon it as though it were true.
These people devise ideas about some people making perfect icons out of them so they can elevate and worship them. With others who speak the words of God they pretend these people are hateful and mean in order to allow themselves the freedom to ignore what they say about God, even treating contemptuously those who bring God's truth.
Why is one person elevated and the other hated?
It's evident that those who are elevated and appreciated are those who never challenge anyone to follow the Scriptures as given by God. The one who is treated with contempt is the one who brings God's Word to light in any discussion about life.
Authentic born-again believers are the rain on everyone's parade, mucking up the fun with the truth.
Matthew 15:9
"In vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”
John 15:18-20 "18 If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first. 19 If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. 20 Remember the word that I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well; if they kept My word, they will keep yours as well.…"
Matthew 10:22
"You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved."
Psalm 118:8-9
"It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes."
1 Corinthians 1:10-13
"I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment. For it has been reported to me by Chloe's people that there is quarreling among you, my brothers. What I mean is that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” or “I follow Apollos,” or “I follow Cephas,” or “I follow Christ.” Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?"
2 John 1:9
"Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son."
What a blessing it is to know that we have the Holy Spirit living in us able to impart His wisdom to us at any time as long as we want to know Him.
John 17:3
"3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent."
Our goal should not be to get knowledge to impress others. Our goal ought to be to glorify God, getting to know His heart that we might bless Him every day.
People say; "bless me God", when perhaps they ought to be saying; "I want to bless you God."
