HEBREW 6:1

 Hebrews 6:1 contains in only a few words a great message.  “Therefore, let us set aside, without forgetting them, the basic principles or the elementary doctrines of a babe in Christ, and go forward into maturity and not retreat backward into the works of darkness requiring again repentance from those dead works and rebuilding faith to GOD.”   Hebrews 6:2  “these being instructions about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead and everlasting judgment. We can do this if GOD permits.” 

In the years since we received the Holy Spirit of the FATHER we have grown in HIS spirit, the Elijah spirit that guides us into all truth. John 16:13  This spirit of the FATHER will restore all things to us, the truth lost to the carnal world.  Matthew 17:11  If this did not take place GOD would destroy the Earth. Malachi 4:6   The first Elijah was the Tishbite, the second Elijah was John the Baptist who prepared a people for the first advent of Christ and the final Elijah to prepare a people for the second advent of Christ.  Neither of the first two Elijah’s restored the truth of GOD to the church over the centuries since it was perverted by Satans  churches.  The first two Elijah’s were empowered by the last Elijah, the spirit of GOD and the last Elijah is the spirit of GOD.  Notice it says, “HE shall restore all things” this means the truth was lost over the centuries since Jesus and the Apostles preached it.  In each generation since in the seven churches listed in Revelation the spirit of this Elijah was working but was not always as successful in all of them.  There have been chosen and elected saints from all the time after Christ in these seven churches.  There has always been a few in every generation because the gates of hell would never prevail over the church. Matthew 16:18  In the end time there will be two churches of GOD coexisting but separated because the Laodiceans have become lukewarm but the Philadelphians are true and faithful to their election.  GOD set an open door before the Philadelphians, a door to truth in doctrines and guidance by the spirit of the FATHER. The only one who can open or close this door is the FATHER.  None of GODS elect saints should become so involved with this world to seek its pleasures or riches as the Laodiceans have but keep themselves unspotted from all this and remain in GOD and Christ.  This is why it is important to listen to Hebrews 6:1-2 and not remain a babe but rather become a mature saint growing in the spirit.  The carnal world teaches a gospel about the person of Jesus but is ignorant of his gospel and part of the proof of that ignorance is their belief that Jesus is GOD, the second person of a trinity.  We saints are not of this world just as Jesus was not of this world.  The Laodiceans knew these things but the allure of the world seduced them and now in order for them to be in the kingdom they must suffer martyrdom.  

Combine this article about growing in the spirit with the previous article about spiritual warfare to acquire a firm grasp of what our spiritual condition should be.  Jesus said, “He who has ears let him hear”, the spirit says to us, “He who has an ear let him hear what the spirit says to the churches.”
