I was praying and I was offering up a request to God
that I have done for years. To cause me to be able to discern what is of
Him and what was not. He quickened to me Hebrews 5:14, which says
"But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by
reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil."
He emphasized, "by the reason of use." He made it plain to me
that the trials that I'm trying to always get rid of, the ones I'm
supposed to count all joy, are my answer to my prayers all these years.
And then this scripture came to my attention, that Jesus learned
obedience by the things He suffered. So that once we come out of an
area of deception, we are strong in truth in that area. So "let us
go on unto perfection" or spiritual maturity. Hebrews
6:1
