Have you ever wondered how the people who followed Jesus around could see healings, deliverances, and miracles every day and still not believe the Words that Jesus said? 1 Corinthians 2:14 gives us the answer to that!
14 But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. KJV
Signs and wonders and miracles are meant to be a sign to the lost that God IS, and that He loves them! You cannot grow or build faith on signs, wonders and miracles! Once they catch a person's attention, then their heart must desire to know more in order for any understanding of the Word to come! Only those who truly desire to know Him more will do what is necessary to do so! Hosea 6:3a tells us this:
When will we know? When we "follow on to know"! This phrase is the Hebrew word "radalph". It means: to run after; to pursue; to chase; to attend closely to; to pursue ardently. So who will know the Lord the way that Paul suggests in Philippians 3:10? ONLY those who will follow hard after Him! Those who will make it their life's goal to learn something new about Him every day! When WE do that, as born again believers who have the Spirit of God living IN us, there is no stopping the knowledge and understanding of His Word from coming! Want to know Him? The go RUNNING after Him! Amen! Here is Hillsong with "Running"!
Shalom in Him!
