VIII. MAIN BODY:

Review of Part 1:

People who were impossible to restore are:

1. Those who have been once for all enlightened

2. Who have consciously tasted the heavenly gift

3. Who have become sharers of the HOLY SPIRIT

Felt means "tasted, experienced" but the only logical thing to do when food is prepared at your front, is to eat it, consume. All these people have one thing in common, they only tasted but not consumed or pig it out.

A. They have felt how good the WORD of GOD is

"And have felt how good the Word of God is"

Matthew 13:20-21 (Amplified Bible)

13:20 As for what was sown on thin (rocky) soil, this is he who hears the Word and at once welcomes and accepts it with joy;

13:21 Yet it has no real root in him, but is temporary (inconstant, lasts but a little while); and when affliction or trouble or persecution comes on account of the Word, at once he is caused to stumble [he is repelled and begins to distrust and desert Him Whom he ought to trust and obey] and he falls away.

Same people who have heard the WORD of GOD, tasted how good it is for them, tasted GOD's goodness and mercy and yet they turn back to sin again.

B. They have felt the mighty powers of the age

"and the mighty powers of the age"

Mark 6:20 (Amplified Bible)

6:20 For Herod had [a reverential] fear of John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and [continually] kept him safe [under guard]. When he heard [John speak], he was much perplexed; and [yet] he heard him gladly.

Yes, King Herod enjoyed the miracles but He never enjoyed the One who have done the Miracles -- LORD JESUS.

C. They have felt the mighty powers of the world to come

"and world to come,"

1 Peter 2:3 (Amplified Bible)

2:3 Since you have [already] tasted the goodness and kindness of the Lord.

Psalms 34:8 (Amplified Bible)

34:8 O taste and see that the Lord [our God] is good! Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who trusts and takes refuge in Him.

2 Peter 2:20-22 (Amplified Bible)

2:20 For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through [the full, personal] knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they again become entangled in them and are overcome, their last condition is worse [for them] than the first.

2:21 For never to have obtained a [full, personal] knowledge of the way of righteousness would have been better for them than, having obtained [such knowledge], to turn back from the holy commandment which was [verbally] delivered to them.

2:22 There has befallen them the thing spoken of in the true proverb, The dog turns back to his own vomit, and, The sow is washed only to wallow again in the mire.

IX. CONCLUSION:

I always eat and drink, consumed the whole Bread of Life, to my heart's desire, until I am overflowing, in my Holy communions with GOD.

John 6:50-51 (Amplified Bible)

6:50 [But] this is the Bread that comes down from heaven, so that [any]one may eat of it and never die.

6:51 I [Myself] am this Living Bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this Bread, he will live forever; and also the Bread that I shall give for the life of the world is My flesh (body).
