But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, “O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves because you have brought no bread?” Matthew 16.8

The Lord God gave humans an intelligent mind, which must be always in activity, so that they may live well on this earth. However, whenever it concerns His issues, the capability of understanding the Word of God must come from Him. Everything that the Most High shows in His Word will be, necessarily, discerned with the help of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, those who make decisions only on logic conclusions deceive themselves.

As He calls your attention to His Word, the Lord invites you to seek Him so that you may receive the direction to do according to what He shows you. Jesus guaranteed:Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened (Mt 7.7,8). Therefore, never discard seeking Him! Instead, pray, for when you understand the divine revelation, you will feel a tremendous joy with what you hear, which will be the proof that the message you heard comes from God.

The Lord called the attention of the disciples, saying that they should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees (Mt 16.6). They understood that something was missing, so they reasoned about buying bread. Now, logic always works only towards the material aspect, not the spiritual aspect. They did not understand anything of what God was telling them. They only assumed that He was talking about bread because they had forgotten to buy something that they needed.

For normal matters in life, if we reason properly with our minds, we will find the solution. When a man discovers the decision that he should make – and makes it appropriately, reaching a satisfying result – he should not transform it into a doctrine. The Word of God warns us that whoever adds anything to the revelation, God will add him to the plagues written in the Word (Rev. 22.18). Everything that comes from God will be delivered through a revelation of what is already written.

However, always be alert when you read the Scriptures or listen to the preaching of the Word. This does not mean that you should become anxious, as if you were in a championship to dispute who will receive more divine revelations. Anyhow, when you feel that He is speaking, go back to the Holy Scriptures and verify if your revelation is in accordance to it. If it is not according to the Bible, get rid of it entirely.

There aren´t and there will never be any mistakes in the Holy Scriptures. The Lord will never reveal something new that is not registered in it. If you follow the Word’s direction, you will see that that is the way how He guides his children. Still today, we must beware the leaven of the Pharisees, who are all around us. These are people that convey many teachings, but never practice what they speak.

In Christ, with love,
