Lack Of Knowledge And Understanding

[Pastor Dr. Michael M Sherrod]

Ignorance of God’s Word is a huge barrier to a growing relationship with Jesus Christ . The battle for the mind is a struggle between thinking and acting God’s way--by faith--as opposed to thinking and operating by man’s limited ability to reason . In  ( Proverbs 3:5-6 )  . We see the importance of studying the Word of God . Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding ; in all your ways acknowledge him , and he will make your paths straight .  ( Hosea 4”6a ) . Reveals what happens when a believer relies on his own limited ability to reason . ‘’My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge  .‘’ Shallow biblical knowledge leaves the believer vulnerable to attacks by Satan . Satan plants weeds of misinformation in a field of truth . The unprepared believer can be choked by Satan’s weeds without even knowing it . The prepared believer is safeguarded by a full knowledge of the new identity possessed in Christ . A mind built up on the Scriptures is a mind focused on becoming like Jesus .
