pure spiritual milk


​We know our enemy knows the scriptures; he tried being clever with Jesus in the wilderness, ​and if he saw the opportunity to contaminate ​our milk from day one, don't you think he would have, remembering that he views us as far more than just individuals, ​he knows we are the one spiritual Body of Christ on earth, the real giant in this land, his worst enemy.
​
He also knows he can't change that, but if he steals our belief ​it's the same thing, and he's been very busy attacking this wall, ​and we have not defended it. ​Can we be sure 
that tiny poisonous lies were not hidden, and sown into the teachings that we have trusted since day one?
​

​as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word 1 Peter 2:2     NKJV
Picture
                                                          1 Peter 2:2
​
​​crave pure spiritual milk        NIV
you should want to drink the pure milk which is God’s Word   NLV
like newborn babies [you should] long for the pure milk of the word,    AMP
Be like newborn babies, always thirsty for the pure spiritual milk,    GNT
Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk     ESV
​
The point is best made in the American Standard Version ASV

long for the spiritual milk which is without guile
​​
​Dictionary.com definition of guile  "insidious cunning in attaining a goal; crafty or artful deception; duplicity".​
​
​What if a tiny amount of harmful contaminate had been 'sugar coated' and slipped into our spiritual diet unnoticed, in everything except what Jesus tells us are the greatest
​and second greatest commandments..
​​
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

This is the first and great commandment.
 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Matt 22:37-40
We all agree on these two, but just about everything else has proved to be open to some sort of interpretation, the perfect opportunity for Satan to exploit. ​If we had attended a different church and denomination every Sunday throughout our Christian walk, we would have heard preached many different variants, but have you ever heard preached from those same pulpits, that its own interpretations and long traditions are practically irrelevant compared to the importance and overall oneness of the body?
No we do not hear this.  


But what our subconscious has always regularly heard 
is " unity is a desirable thing and a united global church is a wonderful vision and goal, but it will never happen in our life time, there are far too many difficulties, it's impossible ​until Jesus returns, ​let's do the things we can do, focus on reaching the lost, instead". Or words to this effect.
​

​
​This was and is the poison in our milk, made even more believable because we've all heard it, and are still hearing it ​from our previous knowledgeable generation, ​who also drank the same contaminated milk, ​as did the generations before them. Tiny unassuming, harmless looking, yet poisonous droplets to our spirits, carefully mixed in stealthily with our pure milk, since the ​very beinning of our walk with Jesus.
 This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you. 
 A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

Galatians 5:8-9  (NKJV)


We know that this mistaken persuasion has caused hideous consequences for the global church reaching the lost, a proven and very successful strategy for Satan.
