It is a very sad thing indeed to me... that many ministers today know so little of the actual Word of God (Their biz??) and that instead of chapter and verse, chapter and verse, for what they do - they conduct their ministries by "Leadership styles, " "traditions," "Personality based" that we have a "business model" instead of a New testament biblical model.
If you ask for chapter and verse for a specific policy or procedure - many just simply get upset and shut down...because in their mind - all they want is the "good of the Church" They say they are only interested in “the truth,” but if you present them with chapter and verse...they say "that's not the way we do it here" ..is that "being interested in the truth" or being SELF deceived???
No, no no, I'm not talking about anyone of my FB friends, I talked briefly today to the head of counseling for a mega church here in town, and she was just frustrated at the amount of people she works with these days, who in the name of God "Give themselves permission to be happy" even when they have to re-write the Bible to pull it off.... Sadly - it is listed as the "chief sign" of the last days...
Strangely - that same sign in the people is also listed as the chief issue with Church LEADERS in the end of times...."Do you seek the Truth in all that you do OR do you seek someone to ratify your version of the truth" Jesus said that men will not come to the light because their deeds were evil (John 3:19) - that is true both inside and out of the church....Some people just want to live in the Matrix even though they know it's not real....
Scary thought - "whatever you have spoken in the secret places will be shouted from the housetops" Jesus said that! When will this happen? During the millennium - no way baby! (And I don't believe he just meant the big societal sins...?)
"...yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven' Now this "Yet once more" indicates the [Removal] of those things which are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which CANNOT be shaken...." (Hebrews 12:26-29) THIS IS A NEW TESTAMENT prophecy which MUST be fulfilled...
The "dross, the leaven, and the lies” must leave the Church – it’s God's plan, not mine...."I feel a whole lot of shakin' goin on!”
Both Jesus and Deuteronomy said/say, “Man does not “live” by bread alone, but by EVERY Word of God" You ability to have "life" "(Translated accurately as abundant life) is based "SOLEY" on your level of Truth: little truth =little life, more truth = more life, etc... If we acknowledge this is true (Refer to Peter 1:2, John 8:31, 32, Matthew 11:29). Then, why are we, the body of Christ not “clawing after” all the truth we can get? The Scripture above stated that; "that the “life” that is promised to us in Christ requires every Word of God in order to be as full of life as God desires His “LIFE” to be for us.truth= more life, etc... if we acknowledge this is true (2 Peter 1:2, John 8:31, 32, Matt 11:29) Then, why are we (the body of Christ) not “clawing after” all the truth we can get? The Scripture above stated that; "that the “life” that is promised to us in Christ requires every Word of God in order to be as full of life as God desires His “LIFE” to be for us.
Even the world knows this to be true - only the Christian is so “dull” to miss this truth... ie: the more you know about money - how it grows, how it is made, how it is shielded, etc... the more you can usually have... more specific knowledge (in any area) puts one in the way of more abundance in that field... Only the Christian "blinded” by their “blind guides,” more concerned with their own personal kingdom building or status among their peers, or ignorantly lost inside their own traditions, handed down by their elders…) We seem continually blind to the truth inside the very BOOK that brings life, and the book that is the sum total of the very “essence” of his Savior – Jesus is the Word made flesh (we ignore the Word, but say we want him???) Jesus also said to the rich man and to us, "if they will not hear Moses (the Word) then they will not hear me..." "Can you hear me now?"
Your growth in life (Both naturally and spiritually) is solely dependant on and EXACTLY PORPORTIONAL to you own personal ability to assimilate TRUTH - the faster you assimilate it = the faster you grow. AND in spiritual matters (Unlike the world system) only YOU determine how fast you grow, because you and YOU ALONE determine how much truth you are willing to accept at any time...
Are you a “short bus” believer because you have chosen to be one? Or, did you make a bad choice and go to church with a “short bus” pastor... Remember, he/she can only teach you what he has allowed into his or her life??? One way, you may have had an excuse – up till now, but now – you are without excuse – if you have the book [Bible] and you go to a “short bus” church – you are without excuse before Jesus – Jesus will simply ask you if you can read – the choice is now yours...
