We have stated we understand because; our eyes and ears are now opened to some degree. See if these Scriptures Ring a bell with some extremely important teaching from L. Ray Smith repeated often on this very forum.

George those are beautiful scriptures. Thank you. I know that knowing the truth (or having knowledge of it) is not the same as walking in the truth.

John 14:6 (NKJV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." This is a progression or a process of growth or maturity. Eonian Life, the tree of Life, Jesus (Love) - the Way (Jesus is the door) is the first step. Jesus is the Truth. It is growing in Jesus, which is growing in Love.

I have seen some people on here that knew the truth but became very frustrated. I know some that knew the truth and no longer believes the truth at all. So having knowledge of this wonderful truth does nothing if we do not applied (walking) it to our lives daily. It is trusting Daddy, Father God loves us to give us both the evil and good experiences to transform us into His image right on time. That nothing will stop Father God .. the all consuming fire, to finish the work He (not us) started in us. Love never fails and Love Saves All. John 8:32(CLV) "and you will know the truth, and the truth will be making you free." Making us free unto the path of Love. Hold fast (guard or like on a watch) the Truth.. see how many times it is repeated. I counted seven times from KJV. It must be very, very important and precious.

Proverbs 24:16
"For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: .." Mature believers do fall but that get up again and immature fall but they can choose to get up again. We all fall down but get up again. Daddy, Father God is always with us ... the whole way through life. Nothing but nothing can separate us from His Love.

Romans 8:38-39 (NKJV)

38 "For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Knowing that that God is in control of everything, makes me feel so safe in His arms of Love. I do not feel like a puppet or robot but His child. He sets the boundaries just as any loving parent would do. He sets the rules. And to me that is comforting.. I can now rest even in the midst of trials. My companions are pain and suffering and somewhere along this journey of life they become peace and joy.

James 1:2-3 (CLV)
1:2 "All joy deem it, my brethren, whenever you should be falling into various trials,
3 knowing that the testing of your faith is producing endurance." [courageous, steadfast, or patient "endurance" that does not lose hope in the face of obstacles, persecutions, trials, or temptations]

All glory and honor to Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father!

In His Joy,
Bunni

Me three Bunni,

We all want the Fruits, the problem is that in the middle of everything being overturned, most times we lose sight of the objective.

I put it like this; put your forehead right onto whatever you are looking at and the perspective gets very blurred. Move backwards and the view (perspective) starts to change, reverse this analogy and see what happens.

meee,

This is how our walk is daily, seen from a distance even a high wall we need to cross looks like a part of the landscape. When we get right up to the wall, we keep looking up but only see wall. Unless we take the final step of going over, under, or around the wall, forward progress stops right there. Of course we can go back to the comfortable things we left behind rather than muster up the trust (Faith given to us) to take that leap over the wall.

Heb 11:1 (ASV)
Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.

Rom 10: 16-21 (KJV)
16  But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18  But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
19  But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
20  But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
21  But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
