This failure to complete both the external and the internal process is an aberration of spiritual development and I want to emphasize and repeat this: the failure to complete both the external, that is, the receiving with joy, the apprehension of truth, and the internal, the pushing down of a root into the depths of the soil to extract the needed nutrients.
Imagine your heart as a garden, where seeds of faith are planted and nurtured. In this episode of 'Beside Still Waters', Christian Javois takes listeners on a journey through the stages of spiritual growth. Starting with the 'intent to believe', Javois explores how external forces can shape our beliefs and behaviors. He highlights the importance of both external and internal processes in spiritual development.
Externally, it's about receiving truth with joy, while internally, it's about deepening roots to draw essential nutrients. Without this balance, we may seek validation from others and lose sight of our faith in God's word. Javois also discusses how persecution acts like a refining fire, revealing the true depth of our faith. When challenges arise, they strip away impurities, showing whether God's word has truly taken root in our hearts.
He warns against living a life driven by fleshly desires and emphasizes the necessity of the Holy Spirit's presence within us. This episode is a thoughtful exploration of faith, growth, and resilience, offering practical insights for anyone on their spiritual journey.
