Knowledge without lived experiance

Knowledge without lived experience almost always leads to pride (1 Corinthians 8:1).
A religious spirit craves being recognized as knowledgeable but in many cases hasn't walked through the suffering that results in a tempered faith and proven character (Romans 5:3).
Many who have known that God has called them to minister to the Church in the end times have gone through hell storm after hell storm and have thought "God did you really call me?"
But as long as you walk with the Lord through these things and stand on His Word as you walk through this stuff....Your character will become powerful.
As far as the untempered spirit of religion, I can tell you this...It is very proud of it's humility...LOL!
