Transition from Phase 1 to Phase 2 by taking Step 2. This is simply exercising your faith and trust in the Lord and His Word by using your new strength given to you through grace to grab the Lord and seek after Him to reveal Himself to you and teach you His ways through the Bible. The Bible is NOT a normal book, but a supernatural book that the Spirit of God miraculously reveals the truth to only the born again Christian.

1 Corinthians 2:12-16 (NKJV)
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.
16 For “who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

1 John 2:3-6 (NKJV) “Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.”
