We learnt these philosophies and vain deceit, so also, we learn what will bring us above them. These philosophies have their own material and they are part of the elements that will be burnt up. So anyone whose hope is in them will be burnt with these things. When the scripture describes that elements will be burnt, we should not just think that houses will collapse because houses already collapse with natural disasters like earthquakes. Instead, it is the things that frame this world, that rules this world — the understanding that gives Satan the power to stay in the air that will be burnt up. But in the day of the coming of the Son of God, They are going to give certain meats to people to be able to grow above the elements.

We tempt God by disobeying His instructions, by not giving heed to His voice. When He speaks, leads, gives instructions and directions, and we take them lightly, we harden our hearts. We have been taught a way of thinking all along, but when He comes, it is to help us unlearn what we have learned before and learn something else – Christ.

For God to take us to the next level, He has to take what we love. This is so that nothing in our hearts would compete with Him. Abraham sacrificed Isaac in his heart; he gave him up in his heart. This shows that what God is looking out for is the heart. God judges the heart. If we serve the Lord without our full hearts, we would not obtain the promise.

What we call sin is an understanding of a way of life. There is a way that seems right but the end is destruction (Prov. 14:12). The devil does not describe it to us as something that is destructive but as something that is right. This also tells us that sin is a form of righteousness. If it does not seem right, we will not keep it.

(Eph. 4:17)The vanity of the mind is as a result of spirit. This spirit is traceable to two places: the mind and the heart. Satan put spirit in the mind and in the heart, just like God will put the law in our mind and write it in our heart. That blindness of the heart is a spirit; it is something making men see or evaluate from their heart differently—it is called the power of Satan. So what Paul is doing is to convert this church to enter into the Kingdom. The kingdom of His dear son is the kingdom of Christ. We enter the kingdom of God from this kingdom (Colossians 1:12-13

The first line of encounter that the believer experiences is the water of the Kingdom. The believer needs to be cleansed with water; that is the meaning of being born of water. Water is for the body of those who will enter the Kingdom, while the spirit is for the heart in the body. Water is important (Eph.‬ ‭5‬:‭26‬-‭27‬); it prepares the table (heart) for the law of the spirit. Both water and spirit are lines. Water is the word of the Spirit. The spirit is the law of the word.

The Lord is that spirit, the Lord is the glass (2 Cor. 3:17-18). The Lord is the land while God is the promise. The living God is a promise. The glass is the ministry while the land is the place of ministration. Thus, it will take the land to give one the promise. One cannot find the promises except in the land (Psa. 142:5).

Giving Zion bread is giving her flesh— the flesh of the Son of God which one cannot eat except one is hungry in Zion. The purpose of the flesh is to make them become an habitation of God. To give her bread is to give her the word of God that will build her up.

There is a connection between the sheep and the Shepherd, and His voice; and if the leading of the Spirit does not bring us to the point where we have that connection, then we will not be able to see our exceedingly great and precious promises.
