In My kingdom it is different than the world. The world says, knowledge is power, but in My kingdom too much knowledge alone will destroy you. The more light you receive, the responsibility you have to live in that light. Refusing to live in the light you have received is a sin. Holding back light from others is even worse. Romans 1:18-19 In the west good preaching is nearly worshiped. At the same time all the preaching is going on, knowledge is increasing and responsibility is growing on the part of the hearer. After hearing 5 years of good preaching, and receiving as much knowledge, with the majority not being applied, most are still on milk and all about building their own kingdom. James 1:23-24
Acquired knowledge heard many times over, if it is not applied, will deceive you into thinking you are already applying it. It is better that you receive a little knowledge and apply it, than to have a PH.D. and refuse to apply it. Another danger with un applied knowledge is, it's unique ability to puff you up, making you think you are better than others and thereby unfit for the kingdom.
1 Corinthians 8:1-2 It is so easy to fall into a trap going from convention to convention and meeting after meeting, shouting a thousand amens and never do what you agreed with. Thousands are always searching for a better message and something fresh yet with no thought as to it's application or added responsibility.
Many of you have heard so much you should be teachers by now, but you actually need someone to teach you over again the very first principles of God's Word. You have come to need milk, not solid food." Hebrews 5:12 Unless you apply what you know there will be no anointing hang on to the truths, and you will need to be taught again.
