Pathway To Freedom

ISAIAH 5:13:
"MY PEOPLE HAVE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE. THEY HAD NO DISCERNMENT."

HOSEA 4:6:
"MY PEOPLE PERISH FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE.

HEBREWS 5:14:
"BUT STRONG MEAT BELONGS TO THOSE THAT ARE FULL AGED, EVEN THOSE THAT BY REASON OF USE HAVE THEIR SENSES EXERCISED TO DISCERN BOTH GOOD AND EVIL."

Can the believer be equipped for everything in their life? Yes, and then some. My life as a believer, what has it come to after 35 years? I have been many places, been through tons of problems, hurts, let-downs, washed-outed projects, ministries that went amuck, and people who dispitefully treated me ill. You would think that with all the Glory of God that has come into my life through Jesus Christ that it would be a cake walk when problems would arise, but I still battle the human being that lives in me.

It is not for lack of knowledge I battle with it. It is lack of willingness to deal with over and over again. Everywhere you go there of people sent to buffet you. You can't say that it is always the devil. But you can say it is always coming, because the Word of God said if Jesus Faced it, then you will face it.

Now, it has come, the resisting of it has come back to. Rejoice in that you are not dealing with things that Jesus did not have to as well. Give Him His dew respect, and thank Him for what He will do on your case, and for freeing you by His death and resurrection, and give Him time to help you to use the wisdom He left us, and then help someone else to restore their confidence in themselves to.
