We praise YOU LORD for YOUR grace and mercy, it is fresh and
new everyday!!
We truly serve an awesome GOD, "OH that
man would praise the LORD for HIS good and wonderful works to
the children of men"! If we could ever get our mind wrapped
around just how much GOD really loves us, we would be a super
natural generation of people, signs and wonders would follow everywhere
we go (Mark 16:15-20).
But unfortunately, doubt is taught in so many
churches, people are not reading and studying their WORD, they
are relying on the preacher not remembering that the preachers
are not perfect either, they make mistakes also. It is the congregations
responsibility to make sure that the TRUTH is coming from the
pulpit and they can not do that if they are not prayed up, read
up and studied up in the WORD themselves.
I personally refuse to allow my salvation, my
healing, my promises and my faith be dependent on what any person
says but only on what GOD says. GOD says in 2
Timothy 2:15 (NAS) "To be diligent to present "yourself"
approved to GOD as a workman who does not need to be ashamed,
accurately handling the WORD of TRUTH".
This is not just for teachers and preachers, but for all that
"claim" to be born again. WE are to get into GOD's WORD
as often as possible, praying, diligently seeking and believing
the TRUTH as GOD says it, not man.
There is too much opinion given from the pulpit.
Opinions anger people, it does not convict the heart (only GOD's
WORD can), but instead makes them leave the church and in some
cases never go back. It makes people believe that they are not
qualified to do anything for the LORD. GOD calls the un-qualifed
and HE qualifies them for the duty that HE has ordained for them
to do, JOHN 15:16, JESUS said "you did not call me but I
called you and ordained you to produce fruit, fruit that would
last and whatever you ask the FATHER in My name He will give to
you". JESUS even rejoiced over this same fact in Luke
10:21 (The Living Bible) "Then JESUS was filled with the
joy of the HOLY SPIRIT and said "I praise YOU, O FATHER,
LORD of Heaven and earth, for hiding these things from the intellectuals
and worldly wise and for revealing them to those who are as trusting
as little children. Yes, thank YOU, FATHER,
for that is the way you wanted it.
HE was talking about the revelation of HIS WORD
and teachings. Do not misunderstand me, I am not condemning preachers
(I am one) and I think education is a great thing and in most
cases helps. But here it was not the case. JESUS told HIS deciples
that they were blessed because many prophets and kings wished
to have this understanding, but instead, the "uneducated"
were blessed with it, praise GOD that included me!!!! Preachers
tell people that "I don't think GOD called you to do that,
or are you sure you heard from GOD ? or I don't think GOD said
that to you". All these place doubt. Some teach and preach
things like "I don't know why GOD heals some and don't heal
others, or GOD wants you poor and humble, I don't know why GOD
doesn't answer your prayers, all brings doubt to peoples faith
and JESUS HIMSELF said as long as you "believe
and do not "doubt" in your heart, but believes that
what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him"
(Mark 11:22-26).
Pretty simple huh ? Doubt and do without !!!
Believe and receive, thus saith the LORD. But in some cases doubt
or I just do not know, is the best they can do, for they do not
have the "FAITH" themselves to believe that GOD can
do what HE says HE can, and they say these things to try to help
GOD look good and so that they do not look bad. But my GOD does
not need our help to make HIM look good, HE has already done that
!!!!!
It is a total lack of faith on our part, doubt
is the Christians biggest theif. Hebrews
11:6 says "and without faith it is impossible to please GOD,
for he who comes to GOD must believe that GOD is & that GOD
is the rewarder of those that 'diligently' seek HIM". We
must with a serious passion seek GOD and believe 'ALL' of HIS
WORD.
As a minister/preacher of the WORD of GOD I said
all of this just to say this; believe in GOD only, put your faith
in GOD only. I tell all that I teach and have Bible study with
to take the following scriptures and read and study them over
and over until you have them down in your spirit; I
Corn.2:12-13, Gal. 1:11-12, Eph. 3:7, Luke 10:21, Acts 4:13
and I John 2:27,"As for
you, the anointing which you received from HIM abides in you,
and 'you have no need' for anyone to teach you, but as HIS anointing
teaches you about all things, and is not a lie and just as it
has taught you, you abide in HIM".
What does this say, if you let GOD teach you
with the anointing of the HOLY SPIRIT YOU DO NOT NEED ANY TEACHING
FROM man FOR THE TRUTH. Paul repeatedly says is these verses that
his preaching and teaching are all from a revelation of JESUS
CHRIST. Many say that Paul was an educated man of GOD, but if
you study GOD's WORD, then you will see that 'Saul' was educated
from the Sanhedrin and Paul said that "ALL" of his past
teachings were but of dung.
Beloved, GOD so loved the world and still does.
HE sent JESUS into this world so that thru the blood and the HOLY
SPIRIT all could be redeemed, healed and delivered. Who do you
put your trust in, man who can lie, or GOD who can not lie ? Me
and my family chose to serve the LORD, He is our refuge and our
fortress and our GOD, and we put "ALL" our trust in
HIM". And you can to, just by saying,
FATHER, in the name of JESUS CHRIST of Nazareth,
please forgive me of my sins and accept me as I am right now,
I believe & confess JESUS as YOUR SON and believe YOU raised
HIM from the dead, and now I know that I am saved by grace thru
my faith in YOU,LORD. Thank YOU for saving my soul
AMEN
