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 Body of Christ,
the one real giant in this land, his worst enemy.
As much as he hates us individually, he hates the
bride of Christ even more.
We know he attacks us individually, but have we considered
that he attacks the bride as a whole just as venomously,
probably more so.
He can't change the fact that the bride of God is the only real giant in the land, but if he steals our belief in ourselves
as a whole, it's the same thing.
He and his demons have been attacking the wall of our belief in our oneness from day one, a direct onslaught against the army of God as a whole, and we have not recognised
or defended against it.
Please consider this, are we sure that tiny poisonous lies were not hidden, and sown into the teachings that we have trusted since the beginning?
I can tell you they have been, the Lord showed me, I saw them.

What if a tiny amount of harmful contaminates 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
health and oneness of the body as a whole?
No, we do not hear this.
Instead, what our subconscious has always regularly heard, is "unity is desirable 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, and countless other variables 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.

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.
