"Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle" ~2 Thes 2:15~
Satan will try to convince you through the world that "those spiritual things" no longer apply. He will try to convince you "that was the old law" and that "things are different now in 2009", and "that people don't really go by those things anymore". Let me tell you friend "Stand fast!" God is the same yesterday, today and forevermore. What spiritual lessons HE taught us and our grandparents through worship and spiritual personal encounters absolutely still apply today! People are not different, we are the same as in the days of Abraham, Noah, Moses and Job. We need breath taking arks to save us from floods of life when sin would over take us and destroy us. We need burning bushes to direct us to freedom in times of bondage. We desperately need God to provide a ram in the thicket when we have sacrificed all we have and everybody that we love. And when we are grieved in spirit, covered in sickness of body, we need the same Redeemer Lord of Job to restore us, and heal us. Stand fast in the traditions you were taught by these men! These men, and the many characters of the Bible stand as your Godly heritage, even if the parents you were born to did not fulfill their job to teach you. Let the word of God teach you how to search out and seek the fullness of the spirit of God's heart. Become a student of the Holy Spirit and stand fast!
