Solid Food for Deceived Christians

I am seeing everywhere this notion that Christians are to "make disciples." People who are raised on spiritual milk and never weened onto solid food aren't going to make disciples. Our churches are not preaching a whole lot of spiritual solid food.

Hebrews 5:14
But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by *constant practice* to distinguish good from evil.

There are very few Christians who are teaching the hard truth of the Gospel. It is good news but it will cost you everything to be a part of His kingdom. Sabbath rest is every minute of every day, not just a day of the week (John 5:30, Hebrews 3-4). How many preachers are teaching self-denial and what it means to take up your own cross, to be not only justified but sanctified in Christ Yahshua (Luke 9:23)? How many are teaching people how to discern truth from error in today's highly deceived world?

Ezekiel 44:23
“And they shall teach My people the difference between the holy and the unholy, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.

Matthew 28:20
...teaching them to obey everything I have commanded them.

If the Spirit is truth (John 16:13, 1 John 5:6) then those who do not seek it with all their heart, mind, soul and strength will not find salvation because they have not found true faith in which to be actually separated from the world.

Luke 18:8
“However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?"

II Thessalonians 2:10
Because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.” Ephesians 5:9-14

"Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, that I may discern between good and evil, for who is able to govern this your great people?”

It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this. And God said to him, “Because you have asked this, and have not asked for yourself long life or riches or the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern what is right, behold, I now do according to your word. Behold, I give you a wise and discerning mind, so that none like you has been before you and none like you shall arise after you. I give you also what you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that no other king shall compare with you, all your days. And if you will walk in my ways, keeping my statutes and my commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days.”
1 Kings 3

This is a spiritual battle and most people have been disarmed not only by the world but by the very churches who refuse to do their God-appointed jobs of "making disciples" by understanding the evils of the world and teaching not only what they are but how to discern them for yourself. If you don't know your enemy's tactics and you let the Trojan horse in the gate then you have already lost the battle. In today's day and age of deception at every turn, it literally is a full-time, or rather overtime effort to become a disciple. That is why the cost is high. It is why you cannot serve both God and Mammon. You must choose.

No one can serve two masters: Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
Matthew 6:24-25

Are you willing to drop everything for Him? Are you willing to die for His name? Will you lay down your every desire to submit to His will for your life? Remember, He is our Holy Father, the One who loves us and wants the best for us - age-long life in His kingdom. But if you are a disobedient child then He must judge and treat you according to His righteous indignation. This life is the greatest test. Will you defy the will of God?
