Heb 5:14
14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
KJV
Today we shall be continuing on the topic spiritual enlightenment. You will remember we identified it as a teaching for the spiritually mature. One of the attributes of spiritual maturity is the ability to distinguish right from wrong; their senses have been trained to discern what is spiritually accurate, what error is and what is out rightly dangerous for their spirits (see Heb 5:14).
A farmer’s wealthy brother who didn’t like the way he was suffering (carrying things for kilometers everyday) bought him a truck and prepared the papers in his name. He sent a messenger with the truck to the farmer but he didn’t meet the farmer home, so the messenger dropped a note with the key and car papers, parked the car in the woods near the house and left. Marcus the farmer arrived and saw the note, saw the papers, brought out the key, but wondered what they were all for because he couldn’t read. He never knew he now owned a brand new truck. Marcus never used the truck until about a year later when his brother came visiting.
Spiritual enlightenment gives us a living knowledge of the things we have in Christ Jesus and how we can access and use them. If you don’t know the key you have in your hand is one to a car already purchased for you, you may never drive that car.
You need to know that you now have unlimited power in Christ as long as you are born again. The word of God in the bible teaches us some basic principles that will help us effectively utilize this power and grace, so you need to give quality time for the study of the word.
Go into today knowing that you have access to all power in heaven and on earth because you have unrestricted access to Christ Jesus by His blood.
Prayer: thank you heavenly father for the love with which you’ve loved me. I pray you teach me your ways that I may walk in your truth which is reality. In Jesus name. Amen
