About this listen
In our last study we took a pause in progressing into Hebrews 12, taking time to focus on self- examination and training for endurance regarding our faith walk.
We looked at;
T: Test
R: Require
A: Arm
I: Involve
N: Nourish
Primarily focusing on the T for testing ourselves to actually know what we profess to believe. We touched on the R which causes us to set a higher standard or raising the bar to really dive into the word, which requires discipline and resolve to meditate upon God’s word and ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom and discernment. Through this process, we learn to become doers of the word not hearers only as James tells us. These first two steps in training are foundational for us to move to the next step which is A for arming ourselves. The church today does little to arm themselves for spiritual battle. We go to church, hear the preacher give a message but for the most part, that is the only spiritual food we get until the next week. Couple that with how so many are not preaching the full counsel of God’s word, it’s easy to find ourselves oblivious to the fact that we are in a spiritual war.
