Many people of sound doctrine and modern reformers know a lot about history, many biographies, many verses, they have as heroes great men of God in the history of the church but along the way they have become modern Pharisees.
They remain indebted to the prayer until the agony that their great heroes had.
They remain indebted to mercy.
They remain indebted to their heroes in that their heroes by opening their mouths demonstrated that they knew God not only intellectually but that they had been in the secret place with God.
These modern men do not have Paul's credentials because they think they do not need them, however without marks there is no true Christianity.
Without brands there is no authority. And without having been in the room with him there is no true knowledge of God and each of these great men of God in history were not great men of God because of their knowledge but rather having been in the room with him.
"I would rather teach one to pray than teach a thousand to preach," the prince of preachers once said...
And praying to the point of agony as these great men of God advised requires more than the ability to read 524 volumes on the history of the church, it requires more than the ability to memorize Bible verses, much more than the ability to remember where in a specific place. The oldest scrolls were found.
To pray to the point of agony truly requires broken hearts. I remember once asking someone: How can you pray with so much pain and even agony for people you don't even know? And that person just looked at me with teary eyes and didn't say a single word to me because he didn't know how to explain to me that only broken hearts can leave the soul and soak the floor with tears begging for souls that could go to an eternity without God.
I myself know so much about the great men of God of ancient times and biblical history that it could surprise many, sometimes I surprise myself hehe But all that is rubbish if I didn't know how to be with him in secret. That's all rubbish when I discovered what it felt like to pray to the point of being powerless and unable to get up from the floor. When I discovered what is in the holy of holies, a place where everyone can enter "confidently" but have requirements to drink the water that is there.
I always remember a person who heard someone preaching and said "that's not true because my Jesus wasn't like that" and I asked: How are you going to say that without a biblical basis? Then I went, I investigated and it turns out that that person was right and I asked myself: How did he know it without having a biblical basis? Then I discovered that this person spent his time in the secret place with God and came to know things about God without even investigating them (I am not making an apology for not studying the Bible).
And the thing is that many of them may not have the time that I have had to study but they have dedicated time to "being with him" and they have learned more than me.
Now that knowledge of which even I am surprised and which for many is a source of pride for me is an "add-on" as it was for the apostle Paul.
And perhaps questions will arise: And why is your life so difficult and tangled if you say you have that "understanding" and I get a serious answer. "Yes, surely Pablo's was very easy and without unraveling even though he said he had seen indescribable things"
My life is horrendous and I don't even understand why, but that does not deny any of the truths that I expose and that are corroborated by the apostle Paul himself and in the stories of those great men of God from ancient times of whom we speak so beautifully. and with whom we have A VERY BIG DEBT!
And it is obvious that I am not going to read any comments about this other than on my personal face because many of those who comment if I tell them that if they understand what it means to touch the heart of God in a prayer, they will look for some way to demonstrate it to me based on human knowledge and they will not be able to get anywhere because their books will not be enough for them. I was already there.
