Understanding the Present

Today, renew yourself. Put aside all knowledge, find a secret place, and settle into prayer. Speak to the Father. Ask Him to judge me for what I have told you here. If in His judgement He finds me guilty of lies, may death find me. If in His judgement He finds me in service to His will, let what I have said fill that moment with understanding that you carry forward. Amen.

Luke 11:52
52
“Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”
-
The key to knowledge is to have holiness guide you. The faith that is needed, is rewarded with understanding. That understanding is eternal, but defined by the moment it is found within.
-
Gospel of Thomas 91
1
They said to him, "Tell us who you are so that we may believe in you."
2
He said to them, "You examine the face of heaven and earth, but you have not come to know the one who is in your presence, and you do not know how to examine the present moment."
-
The Kingdom of God, the conscience of perfection, is not bound in the present moment, we are. So in the present moment we must seek by faith to comprehend knowledge, in order to carry forward understanding. This, as individuals or together. This is the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the council of perfection.

Book of Enoch 69:18
And  through  that oath  the sea was  created, and as  its foundation, for the time  of anger, he placed for it the  sand, and it does not go beyond it, from  the creation of the world and for ever.
-
Knowledge is like the sand that borders a sea. Knowledge does not supply meaning, it only serves to describe. Without truth, knowledge only describes, but through truth, knowledge serves holy purpose. The knowledge of good and evil by itself, creates consequence when relied upon. Knowledge without truth enslaves life, because it does not recognize the unseen quality of life.
-
Gospel of Thomas 46
1
Jesus said, "From Adam to John the Baptist, among those born of women, no one is so much greater than John the Baptist that his eyes should not be averted.
2
But I have said that whoever among you becomes a child will recognize the (Father's) imperial rule and will become greater than John."
-
Therefore, knowledge without the authority of truth is the path of blindness. This is what defines the children of Adam. And this is also why we must be born again as children of the living God; to embrace faith, and deny the path of blindness to the unseen qualities of God. That blindness leads to death, death of life which is the presence of the kingdom which we carried in the purity of childhood. Although the scriptures say Adams eyes were opened, what it does not say is that he was now relying on knowledge to define the present moment. That nakedness is what defines our borders.
-
Gospel of Thomas 85
1
Jesus said, "Adam came from great power and great wealth, but he was not worthy of you.
2
For had he been worthy, [he would] not [have tasted] death."
-
The division that the truth brings, separates us all. You have knowledge in this one matter. My knowledge is the same in this same matter. Yet we differ in everything by our own perceptions. What remains is this: knowledge without truth is blindness in the present moment and it separates us. So faith in the present moment must be what unites our understanding in the moment. The Kingdom is the same for us both, as it is in Heaven. Knowledge is not constant without holy understanding. See?
-
Ephesians 4:22-24
22
You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;
23
to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24
and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
-
Knowledge is fulfilled in the understanding we are shown in the moment. It is only completed in the Authority of Truth that it is rooted in. Otherwise, knowledge is a divisive supplement of our own will. So as believers, we die of our reliance on knowledge, and are reborn seeking understanding. Our rebirth gives way to the renewing of our minds, so that by faith, what knowledge is placed in front of us, becomes holy understanding that serve God's will in the moment.
-
Romans 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.
-
What remains is this, knowledge increases in the world. Because of this, the separation between the faithful and the blind will continue to increase. We can only serve with understanding that is gained in the present moment, as it is the present moment that carries faith through us.
Scripture is itself knowledge, and understanding is only in the moment. This is why a knowledge of the scriptures or the Law does not lead to salvation, only faith based acts in the moment serve the will of God. This is also why, scripture changes meaning every time we read it. Scripture is knowledge and the Holy Spirit is what provides the understanding.
-
John 14:25,26
25
All this I have spoken while still with you.
26
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
-
Love the Father. Love thy neighbor. Deny yourself because of faith. Seek first the Kingdom, and have the Father who is righteous, add understanding to you.



Christ Jesus is the Son of God.

Father, let what knowledge I share serve to glorify You through Your Son the Amen. Let those of faith be guided into understanding through Your Holy Spirit. Amen. Hallelujah. Amen.
