NOT SUBJECT TO YOUR TASTE

Today, many Christians subscribing to a hyper-grace message found within the doctrine of demons want to taste only certain aspects of the LORD working in their lives – where trust has become dependent on blessing and not blessing being dependent upon trust.

‍

Selective tasting can lead to spiritual malnutrition and decay of your soul as one becomes dependent on a single attribute of the working of the HOLY SPIRIT, when HE has prepared a full-course meal for us to dine in HIM.

‍

HE gives us a variety of spiritual vegetables, fish and meats with different textures, including bones and fat, that HE teaches us how to embrace the flavor and associative nutrients of that combination.

‍

In Romans 5, my biblical hero outside of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, the apostle Paul, so eloquently brought clarity and depth to what David wrote in Psalms.

‍

“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” Romans 5:1-5

‍

I encourage you, as well as myself, to taste the fullness of GOD. Look for HIS presence in the difficulty, find and taste the sweetness when something is bitter. Trust in HIM, believe in HIM and hope in HIM, regardless of what has been served.
