series: discipleship

A few days been quietly pondering and having an anguish over different leaders telling me I’m not qualified to serve but not using legitimate biblical passages. Recalling the passages in James about not respecting persons, and 1 Samuel 16, 2 Corinthians 10, about we look at someone per the flesh but God looks at the heart, plus others.

Back in mid-2021, while studying Isaiah, arrived at chapter 45, verse 3, and prompted by The Holy Spirit to do this study and know him more. There are a number of passages was shown; however, the highlights are as follows: John 3:19-20, Daniel 2:22, Songs 2:14, 1 Kings 9-18, Matthew 14:23, Galatians 1:15-2:2, Matthew 4:16, Matthew 10:27 & Luke 12:3, Proverbs 2:4, Psalm 143:8. However the greatest blessing: Growing in the knowledge and intimacy of God In Christ Jesus by The Power of The Holy Spirit.

While in prayer one morning back on 9/10/21, heard this awesome lesson and reminder by The Holy Spirit.

Biblical warning from The Lord for us to repent quickly.

Hearing recent media take on cdc announcement for covid vaccine recipients and led by The Spirit of Jesus to 1 John.

Enter most every church building in America and speak with the members and most will speak like they look forward to the 1,000 reign on this earth with Jesus, while few (if any desire the new Heaven and new earth. Because most have left their first love.

The Lord through his servant Jude, commands us all to be contending for the faith and realistically the only way this is done is, like Our Lord Jesus Christ did, is to go outside the traditional church buildings (the marketplace, work place, etc. with the preaching His message: repent and believe and sharing his testimony for each of us. There’s nothing in scripture which says invite someone to church, or we are protected by any human made building. Church members been asleep at the wheel, foolishly thinking The Lord does not have anything for each of us to do, after the being saved by faith by his grace.

God is love however he will Never love sin and rebellion, especially in any part of his body. He will remove it always. Allow The Holy Spirit to use a Broken down, old, tired vessel such as me to expound his response to rebellion, which is sin.

This post is more a discipleship teaching, possibly prophetic (though I make NO claim to this area as I make NO claim to have a gift of prophecy!!!) But rather, if we’re listening in prayer and not just running our mouth before The Lord God, we’ll learn who He is, and how he always warns us when we go astray, how he utilized different people and items to get our attention. There are several passages, all used in context, to speak what I confidently believe is wanting to communicate to us. These areas are not limited to what God wrote in his word, but limited by this human vessel of my body. There may be more detail coming; however, I suggest all to set their hearts and ears to have ears to hear?

Based on Ezekiel 18, however to practice justice, we must understand what righteousness is first.

So many today call different things perfect: a day, a date, a house, a car, a job, etc. however a legitimate study of the Bible, which is the way to know God and The Lord Jesus Christ will uncover Jesus is the only thing and only person who is perfect.

Many People today have fallen prey to false bible teaching regarding to what 1 Corinthians 13 love actually means. They think it means to make claim any one can enter Heaven even though they still Practice sin in their life. They believe people do not have to believe and receive the work of Jesus Christ fulfilled on the cross, the grace and the resurrection.

Pentecost

Humans correct, very close to the way Satan does, which is by public humiliation. Check out when any pastor, elder, etc., messes up. The media is all of them. However, as in Matthew 7, Job 36:10, Proverbs 19:18, Revelation 3:19, and many others, God never does this. He starts with any leader, going into a closed-like door, one on one with the sinning party, and reveals to them where they went wrong, prayers with them, & works out repentance and correction. Then, if the offending refuses to listen to the leader, another 1 or 2 people are brought in, to discuss correction. then, if still doesn't listen, then they are brought before the group, and if no recourse, then they are shown the door. However, too many church institutions today, bring an offending before the whole group (yes, gang style of backing that person into a corner, and do this to a homicidal killer or pit bull and their nature is to come out fighting. There is zero love in this scenario.
