SO, WHAT'S NEW?


So what's new? What new thing are we looking for today? One thing I have discovered about the Lord Jesus is, He will not entertain our desire to learn new things without us having walked in or live by the things we have currently learnt.
Therefore God sends upon them a misleading influence, a working of error and a strong delusion to make them believe what is false, In order that all may be judged and condemned who did not believe in [who refused to adhere to, trust in, and rely on] the Truth, but [instead] took pleasure in unrighteousness. 1 Thess. 2 : 11 - 12

When the truth is revealed to us and we reject it, turning our backs to it, we become hardened to being receptive of further truth. The Lord Jesus intends for us to walk in His truth, living by it daily. This is an area most of us come short and it is a dangerous area to be in. These last of days will be marked by this spirit more so than ever before, ..." having the form or outward appearance of being godly but, denying the power of it".  2 Timothy 3 v 5.

Day on day, week on week and year on year, most all of us hear a different sermon each time. We need to catch up with the first things and walk in them. This is real maturity. Growing in the grace and the experiential knowledge of the Christ, is the calling of each one of us who believe into Him. We must appropriate the truth we hear, and live by it. Lest we become like the foolish builder who build on sand. May the grace of the Lord be with you.
