Having faith in, and understanding God's Word - the Scriptures and teachings of Jesus Christ - requires us taking our minds off that which is of the world, in order to concentrate more on the Divine and eternal existence of Elohim, who is far beyond the reach of merely our physical mindset. We are each capable of holding intelligent conversations on doctrine, apologetics, and our role in the earthly religious practices of the Church, without rebellion, but choosing to harden the heart to faith in that which is unseen, limits understanding, even when someone comes to the same level to individually answer doubts, and this dulls eyes from experiencing the actual spiritual truth, which we need to know about our eternal inheritance, as God's Children.
Therefore, while meditating on God's Word, and listening to preachings and teachings of Ministers and servants of the LORD, we need to always be in the Spirit - ignoring distractions which may entertain earthly desires, and focusing more seriously on receiving the true understanding of the Scriptures, which reveal Elohim and His eternal existence, to all who are humble enough to receive Him in Christ Jesus (2 Tim. 4:4). This is essential as citizens of an Heavenly Kingdom, that we may be prepared to make known the reason for our hope, and stand ready as a Bride to meet Him when He comes a second time, to save those eagerly waiting (1 Peter 3:15 & Heb. 9:28).
PRAYER: Thank You, LORD Jesus, for the revelation of Your Word to a dark world, and the Wisdom of the Holy Spirit, which fills me with true understanding of the Kingdom where my treasure is stored, and hope rests, by faith in the One who came from Heaven to deal with my sin by taking it away in an act of love; may I be ready when You appear,
Amen!
From John 3:12
