Apostle Joshua Selman

The Ancient Pattern Apostle Joshua Selman

Be very careful so that you never get to a point where you get too familiar with the dealings of God. The Bible says knowledge can puff up, that's why when you get to a point where truly in experience, you understand the ways of God, chances are that you can plateau at a dimension in the spirit and believe that that is all there is in the pursuit of God and knowledge of God. It is not a state that may be done intentionally, the Bible calls it 'the pride of life'. The pride of life is different from pride, It is the self-glorification that comes in the face of obvious result. If you don't have results, you cannot have the pride of life, you can have pride but not the pride of life. It is only God that can help us to not be lost in the folly of achievements. Achievements are important but they can be very destructive. There is a formula for knowing God. The pathway to the knowledge of God is not one that is dependent on creativity, when it has to do with your walk with God, creativity is not required, what is required is obedience and alignment. You are not at liberty to choose your pathway and formula. It is not given to a man to choose how he wants to know God, that privilege was never given to the saints. At no time was any man given the privilege to invent his way of knowing God, Creativity only becomes useful when that kingly dimension; when it has to do with the revelation to creation, that's where creativity comes as one of the doorways to manifesting dominion. But as far as our walk with God and our spiritual growth is concerned, we are not given the liberty to choose the pathway. The Bible says "ask for the ancient paths and when you find it, walk in it." that means that your creativity is not required. Read This Book and Be blessed
