Everyday God gives me reflection upon recent adventures He placed me on. I have learned to appreciate His timing and teaching methods in my life. In recent times, He downloads into my being, abstract ideas found in scripture but are not obvious within most churches/ministries, especially the American churches. Then He gives me opportunity to see how easy and quickly His plans bring forth salvations and eternal changes to a broken, lost, wicked, deceived, and selfish generation. All I can do is sit back and absorb His truths. It is awesome.
Yet, it is hard to watch the unteachable and prideful elite pass God by in favor of their decrees and medals of success. Their heads get in the way of their heart. They are ‘soulish’ in their desires and diets for the flesh. Yet, deny true intimacy and hunger to continually bow in humility to the King of kings, and the Lord of lords – Jesus Christ. Nor do they understand the true leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit which gives 100% peace, joy, love and power no matter what we are going through. But scripture says that God’s truth is foolishness to those who are perishing. They will mock and belittle the Truth. They will even dangerously mock and belittle the power of the Holy Spirit and His work. Yet, they wonder why they are tormented and are under constant oppression and stress.
The Answer is so easy and attainable. It is not in their education. Nor in their money. Nor in their titles. Nor in their achievements. nor in any thing they cling to, in order to find their identity and substance of value. His name is Jesus Christ. The name at which we bow to and not question His call to righteousness and holiness.
BUT, God will not be mocked! Not by anybody outside the churches, nor inside the churches. Ironically, a refreshed ‘pharisaical regime’ is at the helm of the modern day church movement. This movement steers people towards materialism and self-indulgence rather than self-denial, self-control and Spirit-led holiness which separates us out of the carnality of the world structures. Be careful who you follow. Be careful who you work alongside. Sin has consequences. Many people are feeling the consequences of their choices but are oblivious to the cause of the pain. You don’t want to be another casualty of this spiritual battle.
Bringing people to God is easy. Let Him consume you with His Holy Ghost fire saturated with grace, mercy and love. Then get close enough to others that it will consume them also. But, religion is hard. It’s about the do’s and don’ts without a personal intimacy of the Law-giver. Religious people justify the feeding of the flesh over the feeding of the spirit. Religious people entwine themselves with the cares of the world, the lusts of the eyes, the lusts of the flesh and the pride of life. Religious people want to please themselves by doing whatever they want and whenever they want.
Until they hunger and thirst after His kingdom and His righteousness, they only know how to justify and feed the flesh and mind. My hope is that all of us wake up and bow in submission to Jesus Christ. It is then when a revival will break out and change the face of this world. Until then, religion will continue to enslave people into humanistic, psychological and philosophical jargon created in man’s image and intelligence.
Be blest! Live Holy! Seek His Kingdom and Righteousness! Be Spirit-led! Be Jesus driven! Be submitted to Jesus Christ as He was submitted to His Father, our Father!
