"...Rise, Peter, kill and eat." Acts 10:13
Stick with me here. Going in a different direction with this.
First off "Rise".
Get up off your bum and stand up! "Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong." 1Cor. 16:13 "Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all, to stand." Eph. 6:13
You can't do anything sitting down. To do anything you must stand up and be sure of what you are standing on. You are as strong as the foundation you stand on. So Rise.
"Kill."
Take away that which hinders you from your goal. You can't eat unless you kill first. "And from the days of John the baptist until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force." Matthew 11:12
Nothing of vital importance can be accomplished without a violent struggle. "Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you." James 4:7 Under God's authority, nothing can stand against you. You know where you stand, fight according to your foundation.
"Eat."
"But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." Hebrews 5:14
The solid food of the Word comes when you have "exercised your senses to discern". This comes when you know where you stand, and how to fight according to your foundation. When you exercise this knowledge, the solkid food of the Word comes to you, and this is where you can come closer to completeness in the Word, and closer to God.
God is good. All the time.
