How did it happen ? In 2 Kings two extremes were present.
A people who thought they knew God and a people who knew Him.
For those people who thought they knew God but in fact did not , God steadfastly tried to bring them around. They were taught to believe, God likes to be worshiped. God likes sacrifices.
Do those two things and you will be blessed.
Matt. 16:13-20 Jesus has a talk with His disciples about church.
To me it is plainly said that I personally must have ,not flesh and blood but Jesus' father in heaven reveal to me , who Jesus is.
The gifts of the Spirit are vital to this truth and must be allowed to exist. The correct way that these gifts should operate should be learned.
The problem is so many times that the gifts of the Spirit are given to an unteachable people. How that happens, I am not sure . I can only report what I know from personal experience. My willingness to receive the gifts came first and then understanding of how to use these gifts .I am still learning and seeking for understanding. Perhaps our Father in heaven compares it to our learning to ride a bicycle. Someone could teach you about riding a bike but you never will learn how to balance and successfully ride a bike until you have one to learn on.
So perhaps the gifts of the Holy Spirit are given to us in earnest.
FREEDOM IS OUR SONG. FOR HE HAS COME TO SET THE CAPTIVES FREE. NO MORE ARE WE TO LOOK TO MAN TO TELL US ABOUT OUR GOD.
MAY WE EXPECT OUR LORD TO SPEAK TO OUR HEARTS DAILY . MAY WE REPENT OF OUR FALSE IMAGE OF HIM. MAY OUR HEARTS BE OPEN TO TRUTH. MAY OUR HEARTS BE OPEN TO THE WAY. MAY OUR HEARTS BE OPEN TO LIFE. MAY WE SEE ALL THAT JESUS DID FOR US AND ACCEPT IT ALL AS THE FREE GIFT IT WAS INTENDED TO BE. MAY HE WASH US OF OUR SINS & INIQUITIES. MAY WE TRUST HIM FOR A GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. MAY WE GO AND SIN NO MORE.
