It's NOT that most of you signs and wonders seeking Believers aren't sincere. The 'issue' is that your sincerity is NOT coupled with ACCURATE (i.e. up to date) biblical Truth! And that’s because you sign gift seeking Believers are not understanding HOW Yahweh’s PROGRESSIVE REVELATION works! You're striving to 'get' a sign gift that the Scriptures teach is no longer being manifested.
Progressive revelation is the theological (i.e. biblical) concept which states that Yahweh has revealed His will, plan, and nature to humanity gradually over time, rather than all at once. Simplified this means that those Believers born after the completion of the Scriptures ‘know’ much more about Yahweh’s will and plans for Believers than the Believers in Noah, Abraham or Moses’ days did. Today’s Church Age Believers simply have a fuller understanding of Truth (because of the completed New Testament Church Epistles) compared to an Old Testament Believer. And this process of progressive revelation not only reveals new Truths from Yahweh. These newly revealed Truths show us which (Old Testament or even (some) New Testament) Truths of Yahweh have become obsolete! It’s sad that a lot of professing Believers can’t discern that many of Truths of Yahweh (usually in the Old Testament) are no longer the Truths that a Believer should obey! Here are just some Old Testament examples of what I mean.
Leviticus 23:26-31 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “On exactly the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement; it shall be a holy convocation for you, and you shall humble your souls and present an offering by fire to Yahweh. You shall not do any work on this same day, for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement on your behalf before Yahweh your God. If there is any person who will not humble himself on this same day, they shall be cut off from his people. As for any person who does any work on this same day, that person I will destroy from among the people.
Deuteronomy 22:23-24 If there is a girl who is a virgin engaged to a man, and another man finds her in the city and lies with her, then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city and you shall stone them to death; the girl, because she did not cry out in the city, and the man, because he has violated his neighbor’s wife. Thus you shall purge the evil from among you.
Leviticus 7:27 Any person who eats ANY blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.’”
(I’m a medium rare steak guy myself!)
Here’s a ‘dicey one’ to ponder! Deuteronomy 23:1 No man who is emasculated or has his male organ cut off shall enter the assembly of the LORD.
WOW! Where’s the love Yahweh? (Said facetiously.)
If these were still inspired Truths of Yahweh that the LORD expected today’s Church Age Believers to obey…we would all be in trouble! In fact…IF these “Truths” of Yahweh were still commandments that the LORD expected Church Believers to obey…MOST of us would either be ‘booted out’ of our churches…or be dead!
Brethren, the LORD means what HE says…and says what HE means…but sometimes WHAT He initially said gets changed to something else (i.e. NEW and different.) I’ll explain in more detail in the podcast.
Speaking the (biblical) Truth in (real) love,
