The True Secret to Spiritual Growth ! The greatest hindrance to spiritual growth is being controlled by one group , having one group dictate to you what is the truth ! Every group in existence tells their followers that they have the quote : ” REAL TRUTH ” and in this way they get their followers to listen only to them . As long as you are limited to the teachings of one group you cannot possibly grow spiritually , you are totally controlled . Jesus Christ said the only way to break free of the control of any group is to follow his word only , not men : John 8 ( 31 & 32 ) : If you continue in my word you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free ! Free from what ? : Free from the control of men . When you are finally freed from the control and limitations of the groups of men by following God’s word alone , your spiritual growth becomes unlimited . This is the true secret to spiritual growth , following the word of God , not men ! The bible goes on to say that the only true interpreter of his word is his Holy Spirit , never men : 1 John 2 ( 27 ) : But the anointing which you have received of him abides in you , AND YOU NEED NOT THAT ANY MAN TEACHES YOU, but as the same anointing TEACHES YOU OF ALL THINGS ! If you follow God’s word only with his spirit only interpreting it for you , you can never again be controlled by men ! Again this is the true secret to spiritual growth ! This of course does not mean that you cannot listen to men , but you must always make God’s word the final authority , by always checking if what they teach is according to God’s word : Acts 17 ( 11 ) : Receive the word with all readiness of mind , AND SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES WHETHER THESE THINGS ARE SO ! The church people do not do this , and so THEY BECOME CONTROLLED BY MEN , INSTEAD OF GOD ! Most people in the churches today think that they are following God , but they are not : they are being controlled by men, not God : they are limited by the teachings of men , not God : and so of course they cannot grow spiritually at all : they are spiritually dead and don’t even know it . Christ wants you to follow his word only , so you can find his real truth , which will automatically free you from the controls and limitations of groups which kill spiritual growth : John 8 ( 31 & 32 ) : If you continue in MY WORD , you shall know THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE ! So if you want true spiritual growth , start following God’s word alone , not the teachings of men , in the endless groups of men and your spiritual growth will become unlimited, no longer limited by the teachings of groups ! BE CONTROLLED BY GOD , NOT MEN OR THE GROUPS OF MEN !

The true way to spiritual growth is to meditate in the Bible day and night and not only to read and study it, but to do what it tells you to do, and avoid doing what it warns you not to do.

Spiritual maturity is a gift from God to those who persevere in being obedient. It is how one acquires experiences with God rather than just seeking to understanding Scripture or prayer. The grace of God and experiences with God are the only ways one's

The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you. “Suppose one of you had a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Would he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, ‘Come along now and sit down to eat’? Would he not rather say, ‘Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink’? Would he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do? So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’ ”
(bold mine, Luke 17:5-10, 1984 NIV)

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. (bold mine, James 1:2-4, 1984 NIV)

I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. (bold mine, Philippians 3:14-15, 1984 NIV)

It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. (bold mine, Ephesians 4:11-13, 1984 NIV)
