EVER learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

2 Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
• This verse of scripture really speaks of those that are hirelings, those that are in Salvation for the vain glory, fame, fortune, and hype; those that are in need of prestige; those that are always looking for greater than what Jesus said, thought, and done; those that are stagnate in their Salvation’s faith; those that just want to be saved and nothing else, or to say I’m fine as I am in God’s miraculous plan for mankind; those that are always deeper than deep by always seeking the newest, the latest, and the greatest in spiritual teachings but never able to reach the soul of man; those that love to dig deep into the histories of the Holy scriptures and the different viewpoints that are not spiritual but are rational to the human part of man; etc.
• What is knowledge? The spiritual truth that will unlock your soul from being spiritually dead to a new life in Christ and in the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shall be no priest to Me: seeing thou has forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
• Truth demands change and growth. This is the part where so many will reject the knowledge of God or will lack His knowledge through ignorance.
• To reject the knowledge of God and His righteousness is to refuse to change.
• Tradition and being religious makes you ever learning but never coming to the knowledge of the truth in Christ. This is because we love customs and rituals; we love the old way of doing things; we love whatever will require me not to have to change my way.
• Ungodly ties and desires are the areas of ignorance that will keep you from never being able to come to the knowledge of the truth that the Word of God prescribes.
• Traditions, rituals, and being religious makes it harder for you to turn to the Lord Jesus as being your Lord and Savior because your whole self is required to Him in Spirit and in Truth.
• Traditions and being religious gives you a form of godliness that denies the true power of God in the earth so as it is in Heaven. The Word of God says, “from such turn away”. (2 Timothy 3:5).
• Why? Because tradition and being religious is an enemy to the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. It is designed and portrayed by spiritually dead human beings that want to impress each other to say that we are impressing God, not serving God, bur impressing Him. We want God to feel our admiration and respect for Him.
• Why? Because traditions and being religious resist, rebel, and deny the truth to corrupt the mind and cause you as a believer being transformed into a new creature to become a reprobate to the truth of the Cross and its righteousness toward God concerning your faith in Him.
• The Word of God goes on to declare that those that do and will resist, rebel, and deny the truth of God and His Order will “fail” and that it shall be manifested to all.
• Jesus said, “let the wheat and the tare grow together, I will separate them”. (St Matthew 13:24-30).
• This parable does not just speak of the end of the age judgment of God but also for now for the soul that live righteously in earth and for the soul that lives wickedly in earth.
• But it also speaks today how the good pastor (shepherd) as the wheat is called by God, he (spirit man here) does the Will of God from God’s Heart and not of his heart incorporated with the people’s heart so that they all shall live according to the Kingdom of Heaven in earth.
• But now that pastor (the shepherd) which is a hireling, teaches heresy, and lives by his (spirit man here) feelings and from the rule of his plan and purpose without God’s governing power and authority is what the Kingdom of Heaven will discard as a tare. Amen! He is a tare that will lead many souls to a death because of their sin in and through ungodly desires and ties and their blood will be required at his hand according to the Word of God.
• Jesus also said, “and by their fruit you shall know them”. (St Matthew 7:15-20).
• You must have spiritual discernment which is in the Holy Spirit as a gift (1 Corinthians 12:10) to you from God to know the falseness of the so-called prophets, the heresy and the hypocrisy of the lying preacher, pastor, teacher by doing the fruit test to see if their spirit is of God or of the devil without fear; to know the true nature of a person’s actions revealed spiritually to you.
• Spiritual discernment is not a feeling, neither does it operate or function in the flesh or through the flesh.
• As new creatures in Christ we all have the right to try every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God (1 John 4: 1-3), but to succeed in this test you must be perfected in your knowledge of the Spirit of God.
• You’ve got to know and believe in what you are talking about!
• So, why aren’t many never “able” to come to the knowledge of the truth?
• Because the flesh is still, alive, and is an active participant in your salvation producing a feeling for you to be governed by and influenced by and not through the Truth of the Spirit of the Word of God to your spirit.
• FLESH COMPROMISES TO FULFILL ITS UNGODLY DESIRES AND TIES.
• The reason people are always feeling God is because they “received God” and not “perceived God”.
• Receive means to accept and to come into possession of; Perceive means to become aware consciously through the senses and understand by discerning God’s presence.
• Ever learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth about Salvation.
• Hosea mentioned “My people”. Are you a people of God that is free to serve God in Spirit and in Truth?
• My people refer to a people that are “unified believers” united in the faith of Christ with a commitment to be, know, and do the commandments of God which makes up the Body of Christ.
• This phrase is also used to describe the Israelites who are God’s chosen people in the Old Testament.
• In the New Testament this phrase is used to refer to ALL who have accepted Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior in the new creature’s spirit, soul, heart, and mind and has become the children of the family of God and His Kingdom, known as heirs and joint heirs.
• My people is not exclusive to ANY particular group or ethnicity to include those that are to come.
• So, race is thrown out by the spiritual part that we all are. Race only deals with “distinctive physical traits”, which is not spiritual.
• So, I ask again are you a people of God that has been called out to be called My People, that is free to serve God in Spirit and in Truth for the glory of God and His pleasures.
• Traditions and religions teach to the natural man because the natural man can imitate, rehearse, pretend, mark, and fake the Will of God.
• The Spirit of God will only communicate to fellowship, teach, minister, guide, lead, instruct, and chasten the spirit man in you. Because when the spirit man in you has made his reunion back to the Father and is only triggered, influenced, controlled, and possessed by the Spirit of God which is now the Holy Ghost in you He will do all the work required and needed for you as a new creature in Christ.
• Many are not able to come to the knowledge of the truth in Christ because of their entanglement with ungodly desires and ties.
• The feelings of flesh that is not crucified is the number one reason for not being able to know the Truth in Christ to be made free.
• What truth? Spiritual knowledge, not heady, intellectual knowledge that only governs the natural man but spiritual knowledge that governs and influences the spirit man in you.
• Many are still caught between the two opinions of your spirit man and your natural man as you “try” to live righteously with a little dab or do in ungodliness., whereas all unrighteousness is sin.
• This is the #1 problem of many believers that are caught between this rock and hard spot.
• The number one problem of many believers that are leaders that have said they are called by God to do “a work for God”, not His Will leaves too much space and room for their active Will to incorporate with the Will of God their feelings, opinions, comments, and suggestions. All which God is not agreeing to because it is of the devil!
• Because when we all get saved according to the Will of God, it truly is no more of you and I but the Christ that lives, dwells, breath, move, and have His being in you which is the governing power and authority.
• After many trials in error your way, with no repentance God will deliver you to Satan, which means God will give you over to the consequences of your own ungodly desires.
• With ungodly desires sin is attractive to the physical, human part of man (that is male and female), and in his natural tendency is attracted to it.
• God will give you over to the carnality of your mind that is persistently against His Will and is deceiving others that are coming to Him.
• Sometimes this could be the only treatment to wake up the soul of man once he has heard the Word but keeps rejecting it. A shock to your life unfolding in you as a believer that would bring you into a sense of responsibility for your soul and its destiny. This is called learning the hard way!
Romans 1:28-32 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge , God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful; 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
• These verses of scriptures are NOT just for the abomination of men and men or women and women coming together to live as husbands and wives to the same sex, but it is to every soul, every one of us that declares the name of Jesus and His righteousness.
• Traditions and religious people stop trying to change God’s Word and His Order to suit the ungodliness of your flesh and its Will.
• We as true new creatures in Christ, for Christ, and with Christ are living in times where all we are required to do is to be the Light of Christ and stand.
• DO NOT COMPROMISE YOUR SOUL’S WEALTH IN SALVATION FOR THE WILL AND WEAKNESS OF OTHERS THAT SAY I’M TRYING! WHEN IN FACT THEY ARE NOT BECAUSE THEY WON’T SURRENDER THEIR ALL OVER TO THE LORD GOD.

Amen
