How your post relates to me:

Spiritual “perfect 20/20” does not come in one fell swoop.

Amrhrasach

I think this is true of all of us. But here is something that I hope will encourage you and all of us. It took Paul 3 years before he started teaching truth to the Jews. Remember that Paul was a pharisie, He had the best religious teacher of his time. Then we see from his writings it took 13 years before he started confirming the truths he learned to the Gentiles. 13 years to realize his calling! 13 years of maturing before God sent him to the Gentiles. Paul was still maturing even after 13 years because he stopped teaching physical baptism and started teaching one baptism - a spiritual baptism.

Ephesians 4:4-6
There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope at your calling; 5  one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6  one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all.

We need to realize that it is God who sets the time table - not us. So do not be discouraged in your progress it is not in your hands. God is bringing us along at speed He has determined for each one of us.

Proverbs 16:9   
A man's heart plans his way, but the LORD determines his steps.

It does get better with the knowing.  Knowing the truth of God until you are not only saying you believe it your actions show it. 
Staying in the Word daily, seeking truth and wisdom with all of your heart, being patient, and coming to the point of really trusting God in action, then you will start to feel that peace that passes all understanding. 
It has to come from the inside out. 
Feel up with Christ in you.
It is a journey, but it is an inevitable journey.  Stay the course and believe Him and He will see you through.

I had to read this over a few times also.

I so hope, and am encouraged that my sin,...I will become blind & deaf to.

Wow Rodger,

Thank you Rodger.

I wait on such a transformation.   But don’t we all? 

Such is hope.
