Some people needlessly fear they’ll be deceived by their own minds or by an evil spirit if they seek God wholeheartedly without being double-minded. Although it’s good to be aware that the devil and the carnal mind are deceptive, fear doesn’t work the works of God. Fear can paralyze you or set you on the wrong path. You will know God’s voice if you truly want God’s righteousness. The deception is the idea human reasoning or fear can protect you or keep you from error.

Let the Holy Spirit put that fear to rest with the following Scriptures:

For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” ~ Luke 11:10-13

Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! ~ Matthew 7:9-11

Notice the symbolism. Bread typifies, or symbolizes, the body of Christ. The stone typifies the hardened heart of humanity. The serpent typifies Satan or an evil spirit. The fish typifies Christ.

Satan or your own mind can deceive you but only if you are double-minded. If you can’t decide between depending on God and depending on your previously learned philosophies, theologies, and whatever else you depend on, you’ll have no discernment. If you can’t decide between depending on God and depending on ungodly experts, you’re double-minded, and you’ll receive nothing from the Lord. However, if you ask God for wisdom, nothing doubting, not hedging your bets, then He will give you wisdom. The flow of the anointing of the Holy Spirit will be rich and full of confidence and truth.

Walk into this territory of depending on Christ with a certain amount of caution. Don’t claim to be more mature in Christ than you actually are. And yet, as you walk, you know you go from one level of glory to a greater level of glory. If you make a mistake while sincerely following Christ, He will put you back on the Path provided that you admit your error. Humility is vital. Continue seeking Christ, and you can’t lose.

Can You Be Deceived?

You can be deceived if you are double-minded. If you allow your rationalizing mind to get into the act, you’ll be deceived. If you want to trust Jesus but also trust the advice of the scholars, you will be deceived. “The double-minded person will receive nothing from the Lord.”

And yet, we are somewhat double-minded, aren’t we? We’re learning to depend on Jesus. As the old song goes, “Learning to lean, Learning to lean, I’m learning to lean on Jesus.” I’m learning. You’re learning. You’re doing more than just learning. You’re maturing. You’re having your “senses exercised by reason of use.” In your immature state, you sometimes get it wrong.

But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. ~ Hebrews 5:14

Satan tells you that you need to play it safe by depending on your own fallen, deceitful, and desperately wicked human mind. Satan might even supply a rationalization.

God gave you a mind because he wants you to use it. ~ Satan

You know the problem. The human mind has no path to truth other than Jesus Christ and the truth that flows from Him. Of course you use your mind, but you need Jesus to supply the truth or you can’t think rationally. If you depend on your fallen mind, there’s not just a chance you’ll be deceived. You WILL be deceived. If you depend on your fallen mind, you can’t think rationally. You won’t be able to avoid being deceived. Not only that but you’ll never develop your spiritual senses. You’ll never become mature in Christ.

How do you enter God’s presence to hear His voice?

How to Enter His Presence

How do you enter the presence of God to hear His voice?

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. ~ Psalm 100:4

The fear [respect and awe] of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom ~ Proverbs 9:10a King James Bible

Entering God’s presence starts with thankfulness, praise, and respect. Another key is to spend time in His presence. If you don’t seek Him, you won’t find Him. If you neglect your time with Him, you’ll drift away from that intimate relationship. Take time to pray and stand in the presence of Jesus Christ. If you’re too busy to spend time in His presence, you’re too busy.

Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your hearts to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. ~ Ephesians 5:19-20

Let the word [utterance] of Christ richly dwell within you as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom [Christ is our Wisdom], and as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. ~ Colossians 3:16-17 Berean Study Bible

Notice the word “let.” You allow Christ’s utterance to dwell richly within you. Then, you’ll have something to help your brother and sister since Christ’s wisdom will flow through you. Don’t neglect singing known songs and new spiritual songs that will never be sung again. And, whatever you’re doing, let Christ guide you. Do your work with joy and the wisdom of Christ. That will bring humility and respect for Christ.

Devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, and to teaching. Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given you through the prophecy spoken over you at the laying on of the hands of the elders. Be diligent in these matters and absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all. ~  1 Timothy 4:13b-15

Here you have some other keys. One is reading Scripture. Paul mentioned reading Scripture publicly, but you can also read it privately. Don’t neglect Scripture reading. Note how spiritual gifts are imparted. Scripture reading can also help stir up the gift. Be diligent in these matters and absorbed in them. King James Bible says, “Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them.”

The problem is that many of them weren’t aware of the problem with axioms.

With a single assumption, you can prove anything. An axiom is an unproven, unprovable assumption that is taken as fact without evidence.

Many have used inductive of deductive reasoning to say the Bible is God’s Word without error. They’ve done a good job and brought out many good points. The problem is that many of them weren’t aware of the problem with axioms. Axioms have no truth value. They started by presupposing certain axioms. However, those who don’t want the Bible to be God’s Word begin from a different worldview and different presuppositions. Because they start from a different worldview and different presuppositions, they look at the same physical evidence and conclude the Bible isn’t God’s Word. They conclude the Bible is full of errors. Worldviews, presuppositions, and assumptions are different ways of having made-up stuff. As long as made-up stuff is allowed to be part of reasoning, no one can know anything for certain. What God says to you is certain.

What about recognizing who to follow? Who is does God authorize to equip believers for works of ministry? How will you know who to trust to build up the body of Christ until you reach unity in the faith and knowledge of the Son of God? Who did God send? Which ones sent themselves? Only the Holy Spirit can answer these questions. You need to know where you are called and who God is telling you to follow. Only abductive reasoning, the revelation that comes from the Holy Spirit, can provide the answers you need.

The Three Forms of Reasoning: Deductive, Inductive, and Abductive

Abductive Reasoning

Abductive reasoning is intuitive. It doesn’t follow a form. Some have tried to give it a form, but not in a rational way. Intuition can be a gut feeling. It can be a hunch. It can be an inner voice or a vision. It can come in a dream or an inspired statement.

Intuition can come from one of three sources and can be a mix of two or three of these sources.

• God (divine revelation)
• the deceitful and desperately wicked human mind
• demonic principalities and powers who deceive you and desire your ultimate destruction.

God can speak to you through intuition. When He speaks to you through intuition, He provides the discernment to know it is God Who is speaking.

The Three Forms of Reasoning: Deductive, Inductive, and Abductive

Abductive reasoning is the only form of reasoning that can tell you the Bible is God’s word without error. The Holy Spirit must reveal that fact to you, and then you know.

Deductive reasoning requires true premises, but the only source of true premises is divine revelation through abductive reasoning. Most people try to use deductive reasoning by starting with made-up stuff, so they end up with made-up stuff. The problem with inductive reasoning is that it can never lead to absolute truth. Neither of these can lead to certainty unless you start with divine revelation and add nothing to that divine revelation.

God’s promise is this: If you sincerely seek Him, you will find Him. (Hebrews 11:6) All who seek Christ will find Christ. If you ask Him for Christ, He won’t give you something else. (Matthew 7:9-11) If you try to continue in your own ways, seek your own reasoning, or follow some form of the occult plus seek Christ and His wisdom, you will receive nothing from the Lord. You have to make a decision.

Inductive Reasoning

Science relies on inductive reasoning rather than deductive reasoning. Induction reasons from multiple known facts to a tentative conclusion. Inductive reasoning must also start with truth or the reasoning is unsound. Inductive reasoning never leads to true conclusions. It can lead to convincing guesses. It can be useful for decision-making when you don’t know what to do. Science uses inductive reasoning. Many types of inductive reasoning exist. I’ll quote from Real Faith & Reason Volume One to give an overview of types of inductive reasoning. You’ll see some forms of inductive reasoning are more reliable than others:

Inductive Generalization:
All the people I have known prefer Fords. Therefore, all people prefer Fords.

Statistical Syllogism:
Our historical records show it rains the following day twenty percent of the time whenever we have the current atmospheric conditions. Therefore, we have a 20% chance of rain tomorrow.

Simple Induction:
Twenty-seven years ago, I was a Christian, and I prayed that God would answer my question about why He decided to send the Genesis Flood. Since I didn’t receive an answer I couldn’t argue against, I conclude God doesn’t exist.

Argument from Analogy:
Rats are similar in some ways to humans. We tested our drug on rats and haven’t seen any adverse effects. Therefore, it’s less likely that our drug will have adverse effects on humans.

Causal Inference:
Some people believe natural selection caused some evolutionary changes. They believe other factors caused other evolutionary changes. Therefore, molecules-to-humanity evolution happened.

Argument from Prediction:
If it’s raining outside, I would expect the sidewalk to be wet.The sidewalk is wet.
Therefore, it’s raining outside.
Notice that both of these are fallacies.

Bayesian Inference:
You are testing which of two hypotheses are more probable. You compare the two timelines, the Biblical timeline and the evolutionistic timeline. Assume the Biblical timeline probability is near zero. Assume the evolutionistic timeline probability is near 100%. Feed those two probabilities into your Bayesian formula. Calculate. You infer the evolutionistic timeline is much more probable than the Biblical timeline. You can also reverse the assumptions to come to the opposite conclusion.

Inductive Inference:
Over decades of use, hydroxychloroquine has proven safe if taken in the recommended doses. Several doctors successfully treated hundreds of CCP-virus-infected patients using Hydroxychloroquine, Azithromycin, and zinc. Nations that used Hydroxychloroquine as part of their treatment for the CCP virus have had much less death than nations that haven’t used hydroxychloroquine. Therefore, you can infer that hydroxychloroquine may be an effective treatment for CCP virus. Therefore, you can infer that tens of thousands may have died unnecessarily because of the actions of the deep state, the news media, and the tech giants in suppressing the use of hydroxychloroquine.

Reading through these examples, it’s clear that inductive reasoning isn’t a way to reason to true premises. You can’t rely on inductive reasoning to find facts. If you have true premises and valid form, the conclusion could still be false. That doesn’t mean inductive reasoning isn’t valuable. God provided inductive reasoning. It can help you to survive until you achieve maturity in Christ. If you yield to the Holy Spirit, He will guide your inductive reasoning.

Deduction reasons from known true facts to a true conclusion.

Deductive Reasoning

Deduction reasons from known true facts to a true conclusion. It must start with truth to be sound. The starting point is called the premise. Deduction can have more than one premise, but all premises must be true. The true premise proves a conclusion. The conclusion is also true because the premises are true and the form is valid.

Valid form is too much to cover in this post. In essence, valid form means you have not added to the truth nor have you diminished the truth in any way. You must have proved the truth to begin with. In other words, you need true premises or deductive reasoning is unsound. Sound deductive reasoning leads to knowledge of the truth.

Example:

God reveals He knows all things, He can’t lie, and He provides all knowledge and discernment. He says everyone who seeks Him will find Him through Jesus Christ and His Spirit will then teach all who seek Him and yield to His Spirit.

I’m learning to seek God and yield myself to His Spirit.

Therefore, God’s Spirit is teaching me and God is providing knowledge and discernment to the extent I’m able to yield to Him.

What God reveals is true. What God reveals provides a true premise. Therefore, you have a true premise when you acknowledge what God reveals to you. There are many false arguments against divine revelation and for Rationalism. If you seek God’s mind, He will guide your deductive reasoning.

Skeptics choose to reject Christ. They know.

Premise: By divine revelation, I know Jesus Christ speaks to anyone who seeks Him in sincerity and with persistence. All who seek Him find Him. He speaks through Scripture and the many means of divine revelation mentioned in Scripture. When He speaks, He will impart His faith to whoever seeks Him. That faith is evidence, meaning absolutely certain proof. (proved by revelation)

Conclusion: Therefore, if you seek Him in sincerity and with persistence, He will reveal Himself to you and speak to you, and you will know He exists.

I can’t tell you how many skeptics I’ve invited to know Jesus Christ only to have them reject the offer. They turned away from the Light of Christ. Every person can know Jesus Christ exists. Some people don’t believe Jesus exists. It’s a choice those people made. One other point of truth. Jesus Christ also reveals Himself to every person, and that clinches it. They know. They reject. They are willingly ignorant. Perhaps, some will turn to Christ someday. Maybe they’ll realize they have no path to truth in themselves. The Holy Spirit continues to proclaim Christ to you as you yield to the power of the Holy Spirit.

However, you must go beyond just knowing Jesus Christ exists. You need to learn how you can be conformed to His image and likeness. You need to know how you can overcome the fleshly nature and have Christ fully formed within. Then, you must yield to the Holy Spirit so God can fulfill this promise in you. You must submit to the point where you only say those words that He is saying through you and only do those acts He is doing through you.

#SonsOfGod #SpiritualTransformation #HearingGodsVoice #Manifestation

You must prove the premise.

The premise is how you know the conclusion is true. Here’s an example:

Premise: If Jesus speaks to me, then Jesus is real. (proved by revelation)
Premise: Jesus speaks to me. (proved by revelation)
Conclusion: Therefore, I know Jesus is real.

Notice the premises are true. Notice the conclusion contains no information that wasn’t in the premises. That’s what’s meant by the conclusion following from the premises. When the form of logic is valid, the conclusion restates the premises. It can’t go beyond the premises. No new information was added secretly between the premises and the conclusion. Notice the premises prove the conclusion.

You can’t prove a conclusion based on a premise you haven’t proved any more than you can prove a conclusion based on a lie. You must prove the premise. You must know the premise is true. You may not have a way to prove the premise to anyone else, but you have to know it’s true. You need proof even if no one else can see the proof. You need to know. Here’s an example of true premises that prove the conclusion:

Premise: Jesus Christ speaks to me. He speaks through Scripture and the many means of divine revelation mentioned in Scripture. When He speaks, He imparts His faith to me. That faith is absolutely certain proof Jesus Christ exists. (all proved by revelation)
Conclusion: Therefore, Jesus Christ exists.

Some people say this doesn’t help them. They don’t believe what you tell them about your experiences with Christ. You can’t prove anything to anyone through logic. You may be able to convince them, but convincing isn’t the same as proving. And a skeptical person can always remain unconvinced. Only the Holy Spirit can speak truth into their hearts. The Holy Spirit may speak that truth through you, the Bible, or some other means. However, a skeptic or scoffer can easily resist the Holy Spirit. All who love truth listen to Jesus. People must see the proof themselves. And they can.

Then said Jesus said . . . All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. . . . I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. . . . And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. . . . But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me ~ John 10:7-27

This passage of Scripture gives the secret to the unity of the Church. “Them also I must bring and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.” Precious few verses of Scripture tell you how God will answer the prayer of Jesus that you will all be one.

Another Scripture in Ephesians 4:11-13 tells you this:

And it was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for works of ministry and to build up the body of Christ, until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ. ~ Ephesians 4:11-13

This passage of Scripture explains what God is doing and how He is doing it. It shows you what you need to complete the work. What is that work? Read carefully and understand God’s process. Saints, believers, you and me, are being equipped so we can minister or serve effectively to build up the body of Christ. As the body of Christ builds itself up in love, you see it reaching unity in the faith and knowledge of the Son of God. Then, the body of Christ matures.

King James Version says it matures to a perfect (that is, a completely mature) man. It doesn’t say mature men and women, but the unity is so complete the body of Christ functions as a single person. And finally, it matures. It comes to the measure of the fullness of the stature of Christ. Every member of the body of Christ will have Christ fully formed within. This requires that each member listens closely to the leading of the Holy Spirit and yields to the righteousness of the Holy Spirit. As each member listens to the Holy Spirit, the Spirit will give the ability to discern the body of Christ. That submission to the grace of God and the righteousness of grace allows the Holy Spirit to plant the Seed of the Word (Christ) into the heart of each member. That’s how Christ is formed within.

Each will be in his or her place of ministry in total submission to the Head, Christ in Heaven. Each one will be joined to Christ. The body of Christ will move in perfect unity. This body will fulfill the Biblical order for the body of Christ. God is, even now, restoring His church from faith to faith and from glory to glory.

This is God’s endgame. This is the vision of the hope of what God is doing. This is your destiny and only place of satisfaction, peace, and fulfillment. And you and I can take part in it if we’re willing.
