There is a point in life, when you stop growing physically right, but do you ever reach the point were you can say that I have grown enough spiritually, and if so, when can you make that statement.
What does scripture teach us about this state off our spiritual growth, can one state that I have enough truth and that there is no room for growth, or maybe that there is no need for it or nobody can educate “me” for I know it all ! .
If you do not grow day by day or week by week or even month by month there is something wrong, for it is written that,” I will not leave you in the state that I found you”
John 14:16-18 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever, 17 even the Spirit of truth: whom the world cannot receive; for it beholdeth him not, neither knoweth him: ye know him; for he abideth with you, and shall be in you. 18 I will not leave you desolate: I come unto you.
Ps 51:10-12 Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; And take not thy Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; And uphold me with a willing spirit.
Here we have a clear guide that it is God’s desire to renew us daily, and that it must be our desire to grow as well.
He, the Holy Spirit, will not enforce His love on you or force you to grow, if it is not your desire.
There is one thing sure if you are not growing spiritual, then this part of scripture is important to read.
So if there is no repentance, there is no growth for it is only by realising that one has stagnated, sacrificed Christ principles, focusing not on Christ having all kind of idles, in the world, and that one cannot carry on “the normal way” for unity and conformity with the world is enmity with God.
One needs to acknowledge and admit, that one cannot do anything by one self, and willing to die to self, submitting to the Holy Spirit and allowing the Holy Spirit to enter your life, that a change can take place.
Growth is very important not in your own self for we only know the world, it has being our platform of education, and we need to be restored from the ways of the world
, and our mind, needs to be renewed.
Ps 51:12
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; And uphold me with a willing spirit.
Here we have David requesting to be upholder for he cannot do it by himself.
Gal 3: 3
3 Are you so foolish? Although you began with the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by human effort?
Heb 13: 5-8
5 Your conduct must be free from the love of money and you must be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you and I will never abandon you.” 6 So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, and I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” 7 Remember your leaders, who spoke Godʼs message to you; reflect on the outcome of their lives and imitate their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same
1 Tim 6:7-10
7 For we have brought nothing into this world and so we cannot take a single thing out either. 8 But if we have food and shelter, we will be satisfied with that. 9 Those who long to be rich, however, stumble into temptation and a trap and many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is the root of all evils. Some people in reaching for it have strayed from the faith and stabbed themselves with many pains.
Mat 6:19-24
19 “Do not accumulate for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But accumulate for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If then your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eye is diseased, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
24 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and the world.
Mat 6:25-27
Do Not Worry
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Isnʼt there more to life than food and more to the body than clothing? 26 Look at the birds in the sky: They do not sow, or reap, or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Arenʼt you more valuable than they are? 27 And which of you by worrying can add even one hour to his life?
1 Pet 5: 8-
11
8 Be sober and alert. Your enemy the devil, like a roaring lion, is on the prowl looking for someone to devour. Keep this tex in mind and just read the following.
Mat 12:43-45
45 But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and findeth it not. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. 45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this evil generation.
Now keep on reading verse 9 from 1 Pet 8-11 having in mind that, if you do not keep on filling yourself with the word and your desire is not to keep on growing that Satan is there to move in.
9 Resist him, strong in your faith, because you know that your brothers and sisters throughout the world are enduring the same kinds of suffering. 10 And, after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory in Christ will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 11 To him belongs the power forever.
This brings to mind a portion of scripture that we so often just read over, and do not see the deep meaning of it, and is afraid to apply it to our lives, for it is so easy to say, yes ,yes that was for that time, we are now living in a new era !
This is exactly why this part of scripture is so important and it is found in
Jn 1:1-5 and then 6-11
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was fully God. 2 The Word was with God in the beginning. 3 All things were created by Him, and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of mankind. 5 And the light shines on in the darkness, but the darkness did not mastered Him.
6 A man came, sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that everyone might believe through him. 8 He himself was not the light, but he came to testify about the light.
Let us just look at the following points in the verses that we have read, and can we apply scripture here on the commission that was given to us.
Mat 28:19-20
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
We must remember that we cannot give that we do not have, if you have the world you going to teach the worldly system, if you have being empowered by the Holy Spirit your desire would be to witness what Jesus did for you and live according to His principles.
Now back to Jn 1: 6-8
Were do we find ourselves in this part of scripture.
………. was sent from God, ………. empowered and inspired by the Holy Spirit ………….went out to witness and testify about the Light “Jesus” so that every body would have the opportunity to be exposed to the truth,…………. did not speak about himself /herself, or take any glory for himself / herself.…………. pointed the people to Christ, and said that He would be returning soon and are you ready.
Are we studying the word.
Can we write our name in from Nr 7 -13
By beholding Christ, in studying the word and by doing this, are we living His word by all means, in the sense that the word is in us, and the light of the word is shinning out of us, for we are living in a dark world. Are we the light that God wants us to be.
Not claiming that we are the light, but only a reflection there off.

Need of Education in Health Principles
Education in health principles was never more needed than now.
Notwithstanding the wonderful progress in so many lines relating to the comforts and conveniences of life,
even to sanitary matters and to the treatment of disease, the decline in physical vigor and power of
endurance is alarming.
It demands the attention of all who have at heart the well-being of their fellow men.
Our artificial civilization is encouraging evils destructive of sound principles.
Custom and fashion are at war with nature. The practices they enjoin, and the indulgences they foster,
are steadily lessening both physical and mental strength, and bringing upon the race an intolerable burden.
Intemperance and crime, disease and wretchedness, are everywhere.
People need to be taught that drugs do not cure disease.
It is true that they sometimes afford present relief, and the patient appears to recover as the result of
their use; this is because nature has sufficient vital force to expel the poison and to correct the conditions that caused the disease
The Importance of Proper PH Balance!
"Paying attention to acid-alkaline balance (or pH Balance) is one of the most crucial ways you can affect your health status. It impacts immunity, digestion, bone strength, symptoms of joint disease, hormones, and the function of essential internal organs."
What is PH?
PH is short for potential hydrogen which is the standard scientific measure for levels of acidity or alkalinity in organic material. You may be most familiar with references to PH balance in relation to (i) the pH balance of soil in agriculture necessary for a healthy crop or (ii) the pH balance of aquarium water necessary for the health of fish. However, proper pH balance is also vital for humans! The pH balance of our bodily fluids is considered a measurement of our general state of health!
