1 Even if your spiritual heritage was/is excellent and even if
those before you set a good example, and even if they taught all the right
things and represented God with unflinching faith - You need to know that none
of what someone else learned of God or did with God will be posted to your
account. In other words you must
establish your own relationship with God by personal experience. If your spiritual heritage was excellent it
may have given you a good start, but the fulness of revelation for each
generation must come by personal experience.
2 The second reason we are spending so much time on this subject -
If those before you set a poor example or mis-represented the Word of God, you may have been taught things that are not true or worse. If this is who went before you, you will
have to break away from these influences. You will have to break away from these
influences, before you can establish on your own, a right relationship with God by personal relationship.
I don't know how to say this nicely, you have got to break away from
the words and attitudes that disarm or dilute God’s Holy Word.
If what
you are hearing has been causing confusion, break away.
If you
have friends that don’t honor God with their being, break away
from their influence.
If you
have something in your life that has control, then God doesn’t. It’s time to break away - once
and for all and separate yourself from that thing or that person that is
throwing water on your wick."
