THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: DELIVERS AND EMANCIPATES ONE FROM DECEPTION – ERRORS [BEING MISTAKEN]!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“Jesus answered and said to them, \u201cYOU ARE MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God”<\/i>\u00a0Matthew 22:29 (NKJV).<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Erring or being mistaken in Scriptural terms indicates an act of DECEPTION – the idea of being DECEIVED and DECEIVING; but the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY” sets one FREE from DECEPTION – from being MISTAKEN, walking erroneously in a world where\u00a0many wants to be RATIONALISTS to the Scriptural truth which is – The living WORD of God.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s\u00a0why sometimes if not most times, you hear or\u00a0observe\u00a0people who in a way to cover up their deception and ignorance, will say – GOD UNDERSTANDS. God understands what?\u00a0Their\u00a0erroneous or deceptions or ignorance or state of being mistaken?\u00a0God\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0approve any act of contradictory to His WORD in any context of doing life and living godly. God is in bond with His WORD irrespective to whom and what context\u00a0it’s\u00a0applicable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

God wants you to KNOW and UNDERSTAND the TRUTH that SETS you FREE, by you\u00a0making an intentional commitment to see that the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING is your own personal RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY and not someone else’s. Meaning, God wants you to be principled to DO or be DOING – that is – to Be DOER of His WORD and not RATIONALISTS,\u00a0in order for\u00a0you to be BLESSED in your DEED in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.\u00a0[James 1:22-25].<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“But be ye DOERS OF THE WORD, and not HEARERS ONLY, DECEIVING YOUR OWN SELVES. 23 For if any be a HEARER OF THE WORD, and NOT A DOER, he is like unto a\u00a0man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 for\u00a0he\u00a0beholdeth\u00a0himself, and\u00a0goeth\u00a0his way, and straightway\u00a0forgetteth\u00a0what\u00a0manner of\u00a0man he was. 25 But whoso\u00a0looketh\u00a0into the perfect law of liberty, and\u00a0continueth\u00a0therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a DOER of the work, this\u00a0man shall be BLESSED in his DEED”<\/i>\u00a0James 1:22-25.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Herein are three INCAPACITIES state of the RATIONALISTS though not limited in the following context:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. SELF DECEPTION\u00a0(Romans 1:18-32).<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. IGNORANCE OF THE SPIRITUAL CONTENT OF THE SCRIPTURES\u00a0(Acts 13:27;\u00a0Matthew 22:15-46).<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. THE DISBELIEF IN THE INTERVENTION OF DIVINE POWERS IN\u00a0MATTERS OF LIFE AND GODLY LIVING\u00a0(2 Peter 3:1-9; 2 Peter 1:2-4).<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    God does not want us to be DECEIVED – living and walking in errors due to our ERRING on Scriptural Truth and in our IGNORANCE (lack of knowledge and understanding) of\u00a0“THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY”. More so, God does not want us to be RATIONALIST to His WORD or RATIONALISING His WORD either, if indeed we want to live in the context of TRUTH and receive the accompanying result of TRUTH and being TRUTHFUL in Him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    This is WISDOM – having the KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING that ensures and assures you of the enabling GRACE to STAND And BECOME in Christ Jesus Stead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    I pray you get WISDOM in KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING\u00a0in order to\u00a0ensure you are stable in SPIRITUAL\u00a0MATTERS that pertain to LIVING LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead. AMEN.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    THIS IS THE WISDOM – THE KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING – THAT ENSURES AND ASSURES THE GRACE TO STAND AND BECOME IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the POWER of God”<\/i>\u00a0Matthew 22:29.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “Jesus answered and said to them, \u201cYou are MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God”<\/i>\u00a0Matthew 22:29 (NKJV).<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “And the TIMES of this IGNORANCE God WINKED AT; but now\u00a0commandeth\u00a0all men\u00a0every where\u00a0to repent: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that\u00a0man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead”<\/i>\u00a0Acts 17:30-31.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “But be ye DOERS OF THE WORD, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not A DOER, he is like unto a\u00a0man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 for\u00a0he\u00a0beholdeth\u00a0himself, and\u00a0goeth\u00a0his way, and straightway\u00a0forgetteth\u00a0what\u00a0manner of\u00a0man he was. 25 But whoso\u00a0looketh\u00a0into the perfect law of liberty, and\u00a0continueth\u00a0therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a DOER of the work, this\u00a0man shall be BLESSED in his DEED”<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b>James 1:22-25.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “O how love\u00a0I\u00a0thy law!\u00a0it\u00a0is my MEDITATION\u00a0all the day. 98 Thou through thy COMMANDMENTS hast\u00a0MADE me WISER than\u00a0mine\u00a0enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I have more UNDERSTANDING than ALL my TEACHERS: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I UNDERSTAND more than the ANCIENTS, because I keep thy precepts”<\/i>\u00a0Psalms 119:97-100.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being UNDERSTOOD by the things that are\u00a0made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are WITHOUT EXCUSE: 21 because that, when they KNEW God, they GLORIFIED HIM NOT as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 1:20-22.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they KNEW HIM NOT, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him”<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b>Acts 13:27.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS that pertain unto LIFE and GODLINESS, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us exceeding great and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust”<\/i>\u00a02 Peter 1:2-4.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “. . . 8 But, beloved, BE NOT IGNORANT of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance”<\/i>\u00a02 Peter 3:1-9.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
