BLESSED BY SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE

BLESSED BY SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE My Dear Precious Child, After Jesus Christ told His followers that He and I want Mercy from My children instead of sacrifices, some of John the Baptist's disciples came to Jesus and asked Him why they and the Pharisees fast and Jesus' disciples don't fast. They expected their own practices and customs to be the same as those of the followers of Jesus. Jesus gave them an analogy before He spoke the Truth to them. The analogy was that a bridegroom's attendants don't mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, but when the bridegroom is taken away from them, that is when they fast. Then Jesus went on to explain even more simply because John the Baptist's disciples were still confused. He said that no one sews a piece of unshrunken cloth onto an old coat because when the coat is washed the new patch will shrink, pull away from the coat and the tear is worse. The Truth that Jesus Christ was trying to convey to the disciples of John the Baptist was so important for them to know that Jesus Christ gave an even more easily understood example that He thought they could understand. Because wine was such a constant part of their lives, He reminded them that people don't put new wine into old wine skins because if they do then while the wine is fermenting the old wine skins burst, the wine runs out on the ground and the wine skins are lost. He cleared up the Truth that He wanted them to understand, that being that people put new wine into new, fresh wine skins and so both the wine and the wine skins are saved. (Matthew 9:14-17) Jesus was saying that under My old covenant with Moses that fasting was a necessary practice because of the need to refrain from gluttony and other sins of the flesh so that the people would meditate on spiritual matters instead of fleshly matters, hopefully so that they would gain spiritual Truths. So fasting was a way to not only refuse to yield to the demon of gluttony but a way to dedicate oneself to seeking My Kingdom of God, which Jesus was teaching. He was saying that in My Kingdom of God, which was still to come, that fasting is not required or desired because of the presence of My Holy Spirit, who was coming to live inside of them, more readily giving them access to spiritual Truths. At that time it was not necessary for the disciples of Jesus to fast because Jesus, Himself, was with them and He was endued with all of the wisdom of My Holy Spirit. He was ready and able to speak about Truths constantly and He was present with them to teach Truth to the followers of Jesus Christ and to all who would listen. So not only did Jesus demonstrate My righteous character traits to humanity, but He continued to feed Truth to humanity in order to alert them to the presence in the earth of the kingdom of the devil with his many curses distributed by demons, but He also came to earth to also teach people about My Kingdom of God in My New Covenant of the Holy Spirit which was soon to come to live in everyone who seeks Me and My righteousness, making spiritual knowledge more easily accessible.
