THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD Part XI THE SPIRIT OF MIGHT ...

with the untranslatable signification of the word PLEROMA, it would be
necessary for me to put THE WHOLE OF THE OCEAN in the bottle
and then, and only then, could we understand what God purposes to
reveal in, upon and through that glorious company of sons who come
into His very own image, likeness and dominion. God does not purpose
to make us little “samples” of Deity. He does not look upon us as little
beings who shall display “pints” of his power. He purposes to increase
and enlarge our capacities forever and ever. We are to be filled UNTO
all the fullness of God!
I would earnestly exhort the elect of God in this momentous hour
that the faith of yesterday and yesteryear is not sufficient for today. The
admonition of the inspired apostle is especially meaningful for God's
apprehended ones at this time, wherein he says, "Therefore leaving the
principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on to perfection; not laying
again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward
God, of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of
resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment" (Heb. 6:1-2).
The King James Version here instructs us to leave the "principles"
of the doctrine of Christ. The Moffat translation says, "Let us pass on
then to what is mature, leaving ELEMENTARY CHRISTIAN
DOCTRINE BEHIND..." The Weymouth version reads, "Therefore
leaving ELEMENTARY INSTRUCTION ABOUT the Christ, let us
advance to mature manhood..." The Amplified Bible renders, "Therefore
let us go on and GET PAST THE ELEMENTARY STAGE in the
teachings and doctrine of Christ... advancing steadily toward
completeness and perfection that belongs to spiritual maturity." So what
we are instructed to leave behind is the FIRST ELEMENTARY
PRINCIPLES of the doctrine of Christ and these are enumerated to us
as: (1) Repentance from dead works (2) Faith toward God (3) Baptisms
(4) Laying on of hands (5) Resurrection of the dead (6) Eternal (eonian)
judgment.
