Expectations of Increase

spot someone who isn't in check with his otherwise vast knowledge?

The good tree don't give thorns, and the bad tree don't give good fruit.

I find that sometimes it is good to stop learning and being wise and become like little children, kittle children don't overcomplicate things they don't know much and you won't find one claiming to be wise or have this vast knoledge but rather because they know so little they are easy to learn their knowledge being so little allows them to not complicate or over think things sometimes just letting go and relishing our time with God and just chilling is the best route to go

I tell you the truth, I asked the Lord for more "annointing".. I was getting impatient with the Lord's timing in this season. I was praying and making request to my father, from a position of authority granted through the blood atonement from Jesus with a seat at the table.
I tell you the truth, the Lord took me into the deep end of the pool and quickly I learned that w/o God's protection, you cant even do something as basic as think.

stay humble.. always.. praise God for everything. w/o his protection you are toast from your enemies.

Calls for Increase, the Press

I think some refuse to pass through this gate of increase due to us ‘not being worthy’ or possibly, never will be. Or another, that such excellence is not appropriate and sealed off for the true dispensation of His coming kingdom when in fact, the press for increase is clearly seen as a spiritual truth. For there are invitations bringing us to confront thoughts of applying increase to areas of this life so we can proceed towards maturity never again, strive to shake it off.

Don’t you know that we will judge angels?
how much more matters of this life? (1 Cor 6:3)

Therefore, let us leave the elementary teachings
about Christ and go on to maturity, , And this we
will do, if God permits. (Heb 6:1,3)

But the layman’s hesitance isn’t alone. Look at the apprehensions of the ’approved’ commenting of your favorite scholars or theologian’s bulk of commentary on Heb 6:1 ‘’elementary’’ compared to the amount of content to inform on verse 3, ‘’God permits’’. There is clear fear in the air to contemplate moving on unto what and how God’s word defines our call to – ‘’maturity’’.

To be continued, ‘’if God permits’’

'', , will only get you so far but to have increased love and faith and trust in the Lord will take you into deeper waters few have traversed

We are to seek increase but most seek increase in knowledge not the spiritual gifts which is what we are told to seek increase of
knowledge will only get you so far but to have increased love and faith and trust in the Lord will take you into deeper waters few have traversed

Ah, I wondered, is trust the invitation to faith? But not at all, for when does ''faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God'' cease to increase all?

The good tree don't give thorns, and the bad tree don't give good fruit.

well it depends on the heart that hears, many have studied the word for years but know nothing of God himself

Would like to invite your take on what counterweight if any God has helped you with in dealing with today's non-stop mountain of learning? I don't think that is too unrealistic. The Apostle himself needed a 'thorn in the flesh' to keep him in check and said what to expect,

Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. (1 Cor 8:1)

But what about us? While God had to raise the bar for Paul for all that revelation knowledge, is the ''baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire'' sufficient? Remember how much we are told to accumilate, ,

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing each other in all wisdom, singing, , '' (Col 3:16)

''All wisdom''? Sounds pretty exhaustive to me! Still not convinced of a danger of being puffed up just because he said to go for it - twice? Then you won't be able to join in on my second invite, how would you spot someone who isn't in check with his otherwise vast knowledge?

Give God the glory, always!

Immature trees bear no fruit, just leaves. All trees start out immature, so being young is not an issue for the Lord. Indeed, it’s expected.

But older trees… it is expected that they bear fruit.

amen you don’t bring a new born home then give him his chore list . You take care of his needs and raise him up with love care you teach him things he needs to know as he grows up . Even when he makes mistakes along the way you are there for him . You don’t disown him when he falls and fails you lift him up and encourage him reminding him your there still and always for him

later when on hrs no longer a newborn or toddler even a teen somehow he’s grown up and learned lessons by how you raised him . Did you teach him “ anything you do is alright and will lead you to the same outcome ?” No of course you didn’t. You taught him “ do what’s right son always choose the good thing dont harm
Others be kind and share take care of your fellow man because what you do good or bad has consequences and results in either good or bad and there’s laws son you have to live within the laws . “

a family has babies and children teens and young adults adults and elderly folks and of course a Father who loves his children dearly and equally. Who teaches them all the same things tells them the same promises earned them of the same pitfalls and consequences

sometimes however there are children who won’t listen who do the opposite of what thier father tells them . Who hear the warnings reject then and do it anyways ect

these children will mature in a very different way and result in very different fruits

We should be focused on whether we are living up to what we know and not worrying about what someone else knows and our perception of if they are living up to it. We should be looking at ourself there’s plenty to work on there

Therefore, let us leave the elementary teachings
about Christ and go on to maturity, , And this we
will do, if God permits. (Heb 6:1,3)
