Go starving

[slave]

Yes, go starving. Go to a desert, or go to a forest.

And the only thing you take with you is the Bible. Stay 1 year there.

Read and obey the Bible and pray to God every day.

With no internet, with no smartphone, with no laptop.

Just you, the Bible and God.

God willing, you will get food somehow.

After 1 year your spiritual wisdom will be high.

God willing, I will do this soon. I've been planning this for a long time.

If I die, I praise God. If I survive, I praise God.

Deuteronomy 8:1-6

Deuteronomy 8:1-6

Without water you'll be dead in less than a week.

By day two, your dehydration will cause sever headaches and blurred vision. By the third day, add severe muscle cramps and wild hallucinations to the other effects. If you're still alive at day four, every body part will be extremely painful from dehydration and you won't have any strength to open your eyes.  If you're still alive at day five, you'll be comatose. By day six, if you're not dead, you are just a moment from death. 

[slave]

When you are hungry and when you are thirsty you will realize that you are nothing but a slave.

When you are so famished that there is no flesh left upon your bones, you will say: “I praise the Lord of all the worlds”.

You will realize that you are nothing but a worm.

We must humble ourselves, we must humiliate ourselves.

That's the way to get spiritual wisdom.

The Bible nowhere advocates the asceticism you are advocating.  

[Katie Rose Müller]

This sounds like the behavior of the Gnostics and to say God willing you will get food somehow, sounds like tempting God. To go off into a forest to be closer to God and then test Him to bring you food, is wrong. Be careful of this type of fanaticism.

I am afraid of God.

I tremble before the Almighty.

I weep before Him.

We are obliged to fear Him.

Because God is the most terrifying being.

[18] There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Trying to survive in the wilderness is not something anyone can do for many reason namely mental physical and then the spiritual is definitely helpful to aid one in surviving. However not everyone  is inclined to seeking the spiritual aspect of life, and not everyone is physically, mentally capable to survive alone in the wilderness.

Praise God, His yoke is easy:

Matthew 11:28-30  Christ Jesus said:

Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

I was reading here in this post the term "gnostici".

Gnostic belief  goes completely contrary to Christian beliefs..

The Gnostic god is not the christian God of the Bible. The gnostic god is Lucifer.

For instance the secret society of the freemason beleif system is gnostic. See : Albert Pike

Gnostic beliefs go contrary to Gods Word

------------------------------

Christ Jesus said: you cannot serve two master Matthew 6:24²⁴ No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon

 Christ Jesus did go into the wilderness to fast to prepare for His ministry. Secondly, and more importantly, Christ went into the desert to prove that He is who He says He is; namely, that He truly is the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who has come to take away the sins of the world, who has come to do his Father's will.

In the desert, Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights and was tempted by the devil. The devil tried to tempt Jesus to doubt Himself and who He was. Jesus refused each temptation, remaining faithful and humble.

Matthew 4:1-11 At that time Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. He fasted for forty days and forty nights and afterwards was hungry.

 

 

 

 

Christ Jesus came to Save humanity from eternal death=separation from God=LIFE

 

and through His Word taught us how to become children of God and defeat the power of evil through applying a daily living relationship with Him seeking and His Word to be born of His Holy Spirit and dying daily to the worldly flesh.

 

Everyday we are placed with tests of faith. Who do we serve?

 

  Seeking God through His Word and seeking a faith ful = faith filled relationship with Him is how we choose daily to serve our Father God,and overcome sin .

Amen!  And there is, of course, something of a balance in various verses like: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;"  "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;"  "His mercy extends to those who fear Him;"  "Live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear."  (Prov 9:10, Phil 2:12, Luke 1:50, 1 Pet 1:17)

But I'm inclined to think that fear is more about the beginning of our relationship with Him, however the final intention is perfect love.
