Growing to spiritual maturity is your divine objective. Spirituality is being filled with the Holy Spirit and it is absolute. You can’t grow to spiritual maturity unless you are filled with the Holy Spirit. Maturity is a relative. It is dependent on the amount of the Word of God in your soul, metabolized and available for recall to be used in your life. Spiritual maturity occurs in three stages. It starts with self-esteem where you develop self-confidence from learning and applying the Word of God. This progresses into spiritual autonomy. Your counsel is God’s Word, not people's. As you begin to think with the mind of Christ you develop divine norms and standards. Things will quit being fuzzy and come into focus in your life and you will begin to see God’s plan for you develop. Paul said, “Everything I’ve done, I count as dung except for the excellency of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord” (Phil 3:8). Spiritual self-esteem gives your life purpose and definition. Spiritual autonomy is contentment with what God gives you and the capacity to enjoy it. “I have learned to be content in whatever state I am in” (Phil 4:11).
