(Pretty lengthy I try not to but I can't help it at times lol, but those interested in the things of The Lord won't be bothered by length)
To the saints who have obtained like precious faith through God our Father and The Lord Jesus Christ grace and peace be multiplied unto you in the full coming knowledge of The Holy One.
Yo can I be honest and excited one time with yal? Ever since I started this fast offering up idle time from the social networks (i.e. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) man my hunger, desire, and excitement for The Lord has increased 100 fold; not to mention the revelation knowledge (understanding) I'm receiving, has been fruitful and enjoyable. I noticed that the idle time dedicated to social media even in regard to ministry was beginning to deposits rust on my heart. Thus causing me to become unprofitable and even rising up within my members carnal and fleshly things. I was becoming complacent with reading my Word always saying, while on the networks: "I'll get to it, I'll read it later!" All the time I was allowing the enemy to creep in opening up a portal of fleshly cravings, and showing God what held preeminence in my life. These cravings would come by female friend request; beginning to lust, reading certain post I would normally and immediately bypass, and just getting extremely passive and lax to certain things I was firm on having no dealings with. So my spirit man woke me up and was like, "bro you tripping and slowly allowing your discipline and fire to be put out, WAKE UP!!" Instantly I thought of what our Lord said to us in Luke 21:34-36 and what our dear brother in the faith Paul said in Romans 13:11-14 (I greatly encourage you to seek out those passages). Now because I'm constantly jealous and zealous for God my spiritual turn up has become TURNT UPπππππ‼️
Now let's dig in to what I wanted to share; I originally didn't have that introduction included, but when God speaks I listen and write.
When fully abiding in Christ; God who is the Father of lights and wisdom will freely enhance our insight and understanding of His ways, words, and Christian intelligence; even more than those before us. This isn't Gods doing by showing us partiality or special treatment, but because we keep His precepts (order of His judgements and laws) ever before our eyes (life); in addition to it being our meditation (prayer, devotion, and reflection all day) [Joshua 1:8]; [Ps. 119:97].
Proverbs 3 states, "Forsake not mercy and truth (meaning don't shun out or put away kindness in righteousness and the truth of God, but by emulating the likeness, manner, obedience, behavior, and obedience of Christ). We are to bind it (knit/join tightly together) and write it (hide it, regard it, and store it) on the tablets of our HEART. In so doing we will obtain favor and high-esteem in the sight (presence) of God and man. Now my reason for including this is that "high-esteem" means that you don't have to seek out things of God, but that Gods wisdom, knowledge, and UNDERSTANDING will just come to you,it will find you.
So it's not by exemption that your UNDERSTANDING will be increasingly more than those before you, but it's by continually listening, accepting, loving, and keeping The Lords precepts that your UNDERSTANDING (discernment and recognizing Godly wisdom) will be more than the ancients (the aged, the old, and even the elders of old who were/are in authority) will be heightened to another level. I don't know if yal can tell, but man I'm stupid pumped for the things of God and ever so grateful God has graciously allowed me the spiritual innate ability to convey His word to the world.
