Hebrews 5:12 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.

Some might ask why I am reviewing the fundamentals of this life with Christ. I found it convenient to do so because one I know who is of full age was found to be weak in the foundational truths.

When he said, “God didn’t know what Adam would do.”; He accused God of not knowing what He was doing. This flies in the face of everything I know about God.

Jeremiah 1:5a,b Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee,

2 Samuel 7:21 For thy word’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them.

Jeremiah 17:9-10 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

So if a man of so much learning, studies and meditations could be so wrong, then age and experience are not indicators of foundational relationship. It does not matter what you know or think if you do not have the relationship.

Yes he has works, but were they authored by God?

Philippians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Revelation 2:2-3 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

For His names sake.

John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

When we finished yesterday the issue at hand was the Comforter abiding in you. We will often find ourselves in a position of thinking that we know all truths, which is error. Any particular truth about any particular thing, event, person or circumstance still lays within the purview of God’s will. The Comforter is there to reveal Truth, Jesus Christ.

The gift of discernment is not given to every believer and is bestowed upon those with a right heart, right thinking, and have proven themselves to be loyal to the will of God in private matters.

1 Corinthians 2:14-16 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.

Be not confused, your mind is not the mind of Christ but because of the abiding Spirit, you have access to His thoughts. Having access does not guarantee that you will use it. I will from time to time rely on my memory rather than do a check in my spirit for truth. When we do that, our minds are flesh and subject to failure of memory. This is why it is important to read our bible afresh and reaffirm those words into the recesses of our memories.

Repetition is the price of knowledge. (Dr. Keith Lamb)
