Being a disciplined God seeker by meditating on God's word causes a process to take
place which is stated by Paul in Eph. 5:25-27 when he said this. " Christ so loved the church that he laid down His life
for it that; he might sanctify it by the washing of water by His word so that; He might present it unto Him self as being
pure; with out spot and wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without imperfections." It was by our born again experience through Christ Jesus death and by us receiving His sacrifice;
that caused us to die with Him and become a new creation in Christ. It was by his sacrifice that we were made the righteousness
of Christ and he was the one that made us holy not by us trying to be good and live struggling to keep God's commandments.
The majority of the born again church because of them not rightly interpreting God's word through the Holy Ghost's
discernment; do not understand the difference between sins verse faults in their life. A child who is growing up is not sinning
if they are at a stage of being potty trained or learning how to eat with a fork and spoon. We will for eternity be in a growing
stage of knowing God as a loving Father.
Living under the concept that the Holy
Ghost's method of maturing God's family is having His children coming under a convicting spirit verses God being patient
and dealing with His children with a convincing Spirit that trains God's children how to be potty trained in dirty dippers
and how clean they are in God their Fathers sight by knowing how God looks at them. Once a person becomes born again by God's
spirit they can not sin against God but they can as James said in James 4:17 "sin against them self."
When a person sins against them self; it's because; they do not have a disciplined life of constantly
having the Holy Ghost persuade them through their meditating life style on God's word and their own kind of reasoning
dominates their decision making. This causes them to stay in bondage to there fleshly reasoning and stay with a child like
undisciplined nature of putting judgments on people rather then loving the unlovely. A child of God who is living in this
condition is what the scripture defines as them living like a rogue. That's because; they are not experiencing the true
love and holding power of the Holy Ghost do to some internal damage to their soul and most of the time if not all the time
they have become untrusting and indirectly they have ought against the Lord do to being a constant victim of abuse in one
form or another from other people who are also opposing them self.
This is the
same tactic Satan used on Adam and Eve in the garden as they were lied to by Satan. By believing his lies; it put a wall up
between God and them self. This is the same deception that has been going on for decades and the ignorance within the body
of Christ of not recognizing the devil's devices is causing bondages of all kinds and a lack of participation in their
heavenly calling with tenacity and down right determination. ***
Paul stated in
Ephesians that the word of God has a washing effect on our soul as I have said which represents our mind will and emotions.
Do you take your daily shower to wash your body and do you scrub your teeth on a daily basis? A person who is living in a
continual mind set of Holy Ghost discernment is having their mind renewed daily and are at all times using the mind of Christ
who now lives in them. Do you know the difference between using your natural mind verses the mind of Christ Jesus?
If we can understand the dirt and grime we pick up on our physical body and how we need a daily washing.
The devil because he knows his time is short and Jesus is getting ready to return; knows as never before that; he can only
deceive the ignorant and unlearned and the innocent new births of God's family because; they are not under leadership
that have been called to lay down their life for the children and prepare them for spiritual warfare. To me there is a waste
land like in the First World War between two fighting forces between God called ordained teachers of the gospel of Christ
and the people they were called to nurture in the Lord.
It reminds me of leaders
who believe they have some secrete powers and they have formed a secrete society and give the word of God to people with a
judgmental philosophy that; you have to be a part of our crowd and follow our leadings and we may if we think you deserve
a drink of Holy Ghost water; we will give you a sip. It reminds me of this pontiff priestly mentality in the Catholic church
where these people worship a man like he has some special powers to save a persons life.
This
attitude towards people who are desperately looking for a word of wisdom from God is a disgrace and false representation of
the love God has for His people. Yet I have come to believe in most cases they have been trained by their teachers and have
been deceived and function more in the flesh then in the spirit. You understand why this world is in this condition and the
spirit of Sodom and Gomorra is becoming more prevalent daily. We have no more time to sit idle in our church pews and not
go into the high ways and byways rebuking and reproofing in love a world that is being besieged by every abomination of mans
thinking not being under control of the Holy Ghosts leadings.
Scripture tells us that we as God's children
must be the light and salt to this generation that we are living in. God told Adam and Eve in the Garden to increase and multiply
and tend the environment that they lived in. I know that God called me and asked me if I would stand in the gap for Him and
He would empower me with his wisdom to a world that badly needed repair in areas where only his wisdo0m can fix. This is what
the body of Christ was called to do and they must dedicate their life for it.
As
of late I have had the Holy Ghost shore up my thinking because of the thought; is the Lord coming back to rapture his church
because we have failed to be the light and salt with Holy Ghost power to the world that we were sent to take back from demonic
rule or have we been the light and ready to receive our rewards and fight the final battle against Satan and forever live
on this planet with the Lord? It seems to me that there still is a great work to be done and my thoughts come from a discerning
spirit of the Holy Ghost because; I press on to know God's thoughts and ways as this goal satisfies and gives my life
purpose and contentment. What are you looking for and what goals do you have working in your life?
It is us having a hunger after our righteous spirit of Christ in us that has us searching for answers because;
the relationship we are having with the Lord makes a child inquisitive to know their Father's wisdom and experiment with
it. I pray you are hearing me and identifying with it and conforming to this process.
Paul
in 1 Cor. 9-16 tells us of our authority to discern God's thoughts when he says this. " What eye has not seen and
ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, all that God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for those who
love Him who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed.
Yet to us God has unveiled and revealed them by and through His Spirit, for the
Holy Spirit searches diligently, exploring and examining everything, even sounding the profound and bottomless things of God
which are His divine counsels and things hidden and beyond man's own thinking and planning.
For what person (knows and understands) what passes through a man's thoughts except the man's own
spirit within him? Just so no one discerns (comes to know and comprehend) the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Now
we have not received the spirit [that belongs to] the world, but the Holy Spirit who is from God, given to us that; we might
realize and comprehend and appreciate the gifts of divine favor and blessing so freely and lavishly bestowed on us by God.
And we are setting these truths forth in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the [Holy] Spirit, combining and interpreting
spiritual truths with spiritual language [to those who possess the Holy Spirit.
But
the natural, non spiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations
of the Spirit of God, for they are folly meaningless nonsense to him; and he is incapable of progressively recognizing, understanding,
and becoming better acquainted with them because; they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated.
But the spiritual man examines, investigates, inquires into, questions, and discerns all things,
yet is himself to be put on trial and judged by no one. He can read the meaning of everything, but no one can properly discern
or appraise or get an insight into him. For who has known or understood the counsels and purposes of the Lord so as to guide
and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ and do hold the thoughts, feelings and purposes of
His heart.
This should be telling us that; we need to have no one be our teacher
because; we have the living teacher and professor of God living in us. Don't miss understand me; we have called gifted
teachers in the body of Christ and it is their gift to instruct and build up the body of Christ to be a fighting force to
do the works of Jesus on the earth however; we as God's children are to hear what they are saying and examine and ask
the Holy Ghost how what they are saying applies to our life personally. We are not to become as slaves following the personal
teachings of any one.
Once a person looses their ability to choose for them self
who they will serve they are defeated and will become followers of any denomination for the sake of acceptance. Let's
remember that Paul condemned in his day following denominations in 1Cor. chapter one. A Christian right to choose only happens
when; they truly know in who they have in trusted their life to and know how to follow God's voice and not the hundreds
of voices that are clamoring trying to bring people into bondage to their leadings. This is serious and becoming more prevalent
every day as the body of Christ and the world has become idle and lazy in their pursuit of freedom and responsibility to Godly
purposes.
When the born again child of God does not walk in heavenly places in
Christ; they can not stand strong and they become diluted and lukewarm in their tenacity in being a God seeker. A true discerner
has a work ethic of seeking God with intense repetition and an investigative mind questioning every thing that comes into
their arena of life. They have not become followers and stay as babes but have a great desire to make a mark for God during
their temporary time on the planet. They are God's ambassadors focused on defeating the devil at every turn.
I never knew forty five years ago after I had my born again experience; the road God would put me
on. I never was taught and knew the conflicts of demonic influence and how a large majority of the born again church is being
deceived by preaching a gospel of strict obedience to Godly principles and condemning God's kids treating them as prodigals
who are intentionally living in disobedience and in many assemblies being told; they have backslidden and are going to hell.
This abuse as I hear and see it taking place causes me to petition God and do
all I can in my arena of life to speak a word of wisdom to those who are opposing them self and are just weary of feeling
like second hand saints of God with no hope or power. Some times when writing these articles they are like a prayer to God
at the same time I am trying to speak to others. Cont. in p. 3
