KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT GOD (cont'd)

That was the case with the first woman in the Garden of Eden.
“For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.”  And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.” kjv (Gen. 3:5,6)
Everything attractive to the humans, seems to have its roots from the desire or temptation to know; a trying inquisitiveness for the unknown. But the motivating drive for true knowledge should always come from the Ultimate; the divine source. So much had been ‘accomplished’ from the deceptive flow. No wonder, much stress, toil, pain, sorrow, fear and uncertainties had not been contained or repressed throughout human history.

Doing it the right way; following the path of truth; seeking to drink from the fountain of Love; God Himself through Christ Jesus should be our only way out. This is reconciliation; restoring man to godly originality. By now, those who thought that this was sheer madness or some form of mythology, should regain their consciousness and believe that the game is no more business as usual. The stress and tension over all the nations of the world is indicative of the collapse of knowledge without God. The Kingdoms of the Lord and of His Christ have overthrown the kingdoms of the world. (Rev 11:15)
As in the days of old; when kings or rulers were confused about dreams they could not remember let alone to figure out what they meant… (Genesis chapter 41; Daniel chapters 1 and 2). So also, today world leaderships are lost in the dilemma of having many highly paid ‘wise counselors’ who are also confused with their own nightmares. Even the learning arenas are not exempted; for it is only the God fearing professors that can impart true knowledge to our great future generation.
“And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?” (Gen 41:38)
 

KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT GOD

"The Spirit's Voice" Newsletter by Matthew Arin Adams Visit www.boilingpointgospelcentre.org

What is knowledge? It is to be informed; get acquainted about something; to have wisdom and understanding… We all pursue knowledge to avoid ignorance and the blindness of the mind. Why the question, ‘Knowledge without God?’ The human mind is made with capacity to probe or explore for the intent to unearth the hidden mysteries of life and/or nature.  

So the pursuit of knowledge entails all of human struggles to acquire deeper insight beyond what the ordinary mind can transmit into real life situation. It is evident that human senses and faculties had been employed; delving into the activities of environment, experiences or circumstances; hence knowledge becomes obtainable and productive.

Since this article is not motivated by academic inquest, it is intended to convert the ordinary mind to gain insight into the God-kind of knowledge as it was originally purported.  Therefore, this is rather a spiritual discourse than intellectual. The reader is expected to apply faith to accept God’s precepts than what the ordinary human mind can offer. It is also a kind of battle; a fight between the ‘man-made’ and God’s intended.

The Bible is the only point of reference for the divine perception. From all indications, and from the onset, rebellion against God is attached to the temptation of the pursuit of knowledge. Each time the quest for wisdom is driven by an evil motive or ungodly drive, the aftermath is total enmity with God; keeping God out of the chase; the evil collaborated human nature being in control thereby drowning the wise counsel of the Most High God in one’s life.

MAY 2017 - THE STEP TOWARDS FULL REST

This is from one of the Boiling Point GOSPEL Centre's Bulletin "The Spirit's Voice" (July 2011) visit www.boilingpointgospelcentre.org (Newsletter)

Month of May – Five Equals Liberty This quarter begins with the month of May; it is prominent because it represents the number of Liberty. We are made to understand that four (4) is the number of the world; the cosmic order. And one (1) is the Number of GOD. And so, 4+1=5. This implies that God through His Son Jesus Christ was added to or came into the corrupt world system or sinful and confused humanity; and this resulted into a perfect order of liberty; the salvation of our souls and total deliverance from Satan’s bondage.

I perceive the greatest move of God; this is the ultimately strangest in world history; the massive revival of souls into His kingdom. It is breaking all records of amazing awakenings ever experienced in the church. It is never a wonder; seeing people seeking true liberty or freedom from the only source; ‘Jesus the way the truth and the life.’ Satan’s defeat is manifesting increasingly day by day. False ministers, witch doctors, all satanic agencies are folding and going out business in high speed. This is a wide open door to the Christ-like ministries of tangible genuineness and compelling indisputability to reach out fast to advance the government of the Almighty to the ends of the world.

People are being set free in their hundreds and thousands world over. Religious and or denominational inclinations do not matter any longer. No more dying in silence. We are celebrating the downfall of hypocrisy or false loyalty to man-made constitutions and doctrines. (Mt. 16:6,12).

“We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.” (1Jn.4:6). Kjv

The biggest question to the church leadership and believers all over the world today is, ‘How can we walk in the footsteps of Christ Jesus and still find ourselves in Satan’s tormenting bondage of sickness and disease, demonic possession, oppression and obsession?’ We should not rely on or trust in fake authorities in solving our serious life’s issues; it does not glorify God to go about in fear and uncertainty. I prophesy that many believers are more than prepared to stop pretending; to be called Christians and not truly Christ-like!

 “Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.”  (Jn.14:17) kjv

Let the Holy Spirit of the Almighty God guide us into all truth (Jn.16:13); let Him comfort us and testify of Christ in and through our lives (Jn.15:26); and let Him serve God in us as our Master Jesus Christ did (Is.61:1-2). AMEN!

PRAYER FOR REVIVAL

“There is no question in my mind that prayer was as central to the revival itself as it was to the preparation of it.”(Kilpatrick, 1995:72) 

Dr A. T. Pierson once said,
‘There has never been a spiritual awakening in any country or locality that did not begin in united prayer.”(Orr, 199)
Revival won’t come by teaching, great worship music or beautiful buildings. It is scripturally and experientially linked to prayer.

Isaiah 64:1 (NKJV) “Oh, that You would rend the heavens! That You would come down! That the mountains might shake at Your presence– 2 As fire burns brushwood, As fire causes water to boil-To make Your name known to Your adversaries, [That] the nations may tremble at Your presence!”

2Chr 7:14 (NKJV) “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

DECLARATION OF FAITH

  

To some extend, callous and insensitive application of these divine terms had resulted to serious setback in the Church’s pursuit for God’s original purpose to mankind. And this is one of the ugliest demonic influences we must confront all the days of our Christian stewardship.

However, in spite of all our spiritual shortcomings and deficiencies, it is never impossible for God to abandon His original and eternal plan to draw the world intimately to Himself. 

Christ Jesus had brought overwhelming victory to the world… to ‘whosoever believes;’ there is great headway to our earthly and eternal destinies. Therefore, we are already engrafted into the kingdom ministry. 

God’s rule is now; He is functional in and through us. We are able to be part of God’s operational, working or practical authority because He designed it originally to be so. 

He did not forcefully drag us into it; His eternal mercy gave us willingness and access to accept the holy and high calling. His unmerited favor will sustain us to carry out the kingdom responsibility by His Spirit’s power. 

So, since He is still speaking and working; we are also doing the same (Jn. 15:5). The Church in the state of oblivion and at the point of extinction is returning with full force into fierce Holy Ghost and fire-brand consciousness to redeem our kingdom capacity and competence to reign with Christ appropriately in the dispensation of God’s government here on earth. And as we reign with Him here, we must also remain diligent about the eternal kingdom yet to come in Heaven.

NEW TESTAMENT FULFILMENT

It is a new dawn, a new light is setting in; brightening our spiritual understanding, and we can boldly declare to the entire body of Christ that it is no more church as usual.

These are the days when people can quickly or easily and remorsefully denounce their denominational and/or ministerial affiliations for the sake of Christ-like lifestyle and ministry.

In other words, gone are the days when believers prefer to identify with some powerful men of God, they would give up everything in order to have the true knowledge of God all by themselves.

The time had come when many had vowed to be called Christians as truly Christ-like, than bearing names and titles that have no eternal value!

Many would soon reject any Christian materials that bear the logo of their ministry or church or the portrait of men rather than truly identifying with the lifestyle of the Lord Jesus.

We can make a long list of great surprises and miracles that must happen in order to restore and keep millions in spiritual liberty and glory in the body of Christ today for the sake of fulfilled personal calling!

FREEDOM AT LAST

Since the Lord saved me and freed me from the dungeon of church religion; it had been my deep concern to allow Him use me for many to also have the great experience!

I pray almost daily for younger generation never to pass through the same path of religious entanglements; being committed but with no tangible blessings!

The imprisonment of church activities with nothing to show for it is the most difficult thing to relinquish or forego! I see many languishing in such ambiguity!

The night I was rounding up my struggled 70 days fasting became another experience full of liberty within me because of the assurance of seeing many walking out of the iron gates of meaningless form of righteousness.

I glorify God Almighty for the restoration of the consciousness of the New Covenant in Jesus Christ; the knowledge of God redeeming many to their personal relationship with Him which is the determining factor to eternal glory!

PRAY FOR THE YOUTHS

My outing today left me with an increased concern about the rate of youthful deteriorating behavior! There is no community in the whole world that is exempted.

All efforts had been made in order to combat the menace of youth problems in the whole world; but to no avail. It is a very clear indication that human effort ends in futility without God's power!

I know God Almighty will not blame the world governments; obviously they don't have the solution; rather some of them constitute the menace.

It is never too late for the church to rise up to responsibility. The Christ's ministry of deliverance should be rigorously extended to the ghettos and hideouts of these practices.

Let every believer take it as a personal assignment to convert one youth into godly and meaningful life endeavor in Jesus Name...
