What You Don’t Know (Won’t) WILL Hurt You
“My people are destroyed For lack of knowledge.”
Hosea 4:6
A young european immigrant family saved enough money for passage on
a steam ship to America and a New Life.
After several days the food that they had brought
for the journey had run out and they were hungry.
The father, swallowing his pride, went to one of the
ship’s officers and explained his situation
only to be stunned by the answer.
“Sir,” the officer kindly said,
“You did not have to bring your own food because
once you come into this good ship
all that you need is abundantly provided to you.”
Most Christians are also living a spiritual life of ignorance
just like that man. Because they are unaware of the
Benefits, Authority, and Power
that they have abudantly available in Christ they sadly
try to sail through this life not knowing what
things God has provided for them once on
His good ship of salvation because of their
Lack of Knowledge.
The Bible instead tells us to not forget all the
BENEFITS He has given to us (Psalm 103:2)
and the AUTHORITY we have over the power
of our spiritual enemies (Luke 10:19)
But also consider this...
The Bible also says the POWER in us is
The Same Power That Raised christ From The Grave! (Romans 8:11)
And there is no greater power than that!!
God has given us these things and much more!
All this is written and available for us in the Word of God,
but in order to operate with all the benefits God has given,
you must first have KNOWLEDGE of them.
Friend, if you are a believer fill your mind with the knowledge of the
Benefits, Authority and Power that God has made available
to you so you won’t be caught in a situation innocently where
“What you don’t know WILL hurt you.”
However if you are not yet a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ
the greatest lack of knowledge you can have is NOT KNOWING
about the 'Good Ship' of HMS Salvation.
Having a mind empty and not knowing of Christ is the #1 thing that
Will Hurt You.
God Bless Your Day
Jesus Loves You
