Scripture refers to growing into a deeper knowledge of God by 1) the Holy Spirit who will teach us and 2) walking in the spirit and not in the flesh.
John 16:12-13
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. (because precept upon precept and line upon line must take place)
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
John 16:12-13
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. (because precept upon precept and line upon line must take place)
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
1 Corinthians 3
Divisiveness And Immaturity
1 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to infants in Christ. 2 I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, 3 for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men?
Paul is explaining the evidence of their spiritual state by their jealousy and strife saying they are still fleshly....
Scripture backs this up...
Galations 15:16-26
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Isaiah 28:9
9Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 10For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: 11For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. 12To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
Saints we are prolonging the Church that God is raising up if we stay on the milk and do not seek to learn the deeper things of God....
Ephesians 4:12 Context
9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
He who has ears hear what the Spirit of the Lord has to say...
Do you feel like your just not satisfied anymore....that you seek to learn more, that there has to be more than what you have been taught and are now skilled in? Good this is the Holy Spirit drawing you to hunger for more...….more of wisdom, knowledge, understanding, to have your eyes opened to see in the spiritual realm...into God's Kingdom....Then blessed are you for you are seeking Him and you shall find Him but it requires walking in the spirit not the flesh.....to be spiritual minded not carnal minded....to receive by faith the things the Spirit of Truth is leading you to.
Anyone here operate in any gifts of the Holy Spirit or desire to? Corinthians is the book that teaches this.
So I invite everyone to pray and seek God in this matter and to consider moving into a new level of Truth and learn to walk in Power by the Holy Spirit....It is time to equip the saints who are ready, willing and able to experience a deeper walk with God.
