Every
Church that the Lord was talking to in Revelation, Jesus told them that I know
thy works. More and more the churches of today and some ministries are
getting so far off the path and they can’t even see it. Everyone wants to
be right about how they conduct the ministry and if anyone has an opinion of it;
it generates strife. First, let the church or ministry have order and
next, do not use order to put people in bondage. This message is not for
everyone but it is for someone. In other words I ain’t talking bout you
unless I’m talking bout you!
There
are too many false apostles out here claiming to be upstanding men of
God. But if you just sit back and let The Lord reveal things to you, He
will. Remember this brothers and sisters, somebody is right and somebody
is wrong. Let’s go into the scriptures a little and find who these people
are and why they do the things they do. Paul says in Romans 16:17-18; I
beseech you brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to
the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are
such serve not Our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words
and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. First let us talk
about the ones who serve their own bellies. Those are people that say
they are laboring for Christ and setting the church up accordingly but in
reality everything is being done how they want it done. They like to use
the word “we” but most of the time it is always about “them”. The simple
are the people who are blind by default or they are kept in darkness on
purpose. What you can’t see, you don’t
know. And what you don’t know then you can’t condemn. I urge all
simple people to please start reading your bibles and pray to God for
revelations. This is imperative for your survival. For
example, if I have a brother; my real brother from the same parents; that serve
with me in the ministry who is committing adultery; what should I do with him
if I am an elder standing on the word of God? Don’t worry about an answer
I have it; I will sit him down and tell him he needs to repent. If no
repentance then he can kick rocks down the street, for all I care. But
most people are not operating on that frequency. They are too emotionally
tied to people. To stand on the word of God you sometimes have to come up
against people in your own household. Until we as the body realize that a
standard must be set we are going to be destroyed. The enemy can come in
and create havoc in an unorganized ministry. And you can be organized
without placing people in bondage. Your lifestyle must line up with the
word of God. You can’t proclaim one thing, but live another. We
have liberty in Christ Jesus but we have to be careful when using our
liberty. Paul said in Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty
wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of
bondage. Further down in Galatians 5:13 Paul continues with; brethren ye
have been called unto liberty; only not use liberty for an occasion to the
flesh, but by love serve one another. In
I Peter 2:16 he explains; as free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of
maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
That’s
the problem with a lot of the Saints in the church or ministry; they are using
their freedom (liberty) as a cloak for the sin in their lives; if not their
lives, maybe someone in their home. If not someone in their homes; maybe
someone they call friend. Brothers and sisters; be careful. These
people are good at what they do. It will be hard for you to spot them if
you are not in their inner circles. In their eyes your sin is big and
nasty but their sin is small and not worth mentioning. The devil is a lie;
all sin is wrong especially those who call themselves saints. Let me
break that down for you. Her tattoos are no worse than his lusting after
women, his lusting after women is no worse than her lying. And her lying
is no worse than you having rebellious children for those who may want to be an
elder! Get the point? Everyone has
to take personal accountability for getting their own lives in order.
People
stop wasting time examining your neighbor; do like the song says and get your
own house in order! I have partaken of both religious bondage and too
much freedom. Both are wrong according
to the bible. We need order and structure in church or ministry but do
not need bondage. We have liberty and freedom in Christ Jesus but not to
live according to the flesh. In the beginning I mentioned how Jesus said
I know thy works to all the churches in Revelations. He also told each of
them to repent. That is what we all need is to do is repent and get back
to seeking God with all our hearts, minds, and souls. May the Lord open
your ears, hearts and minds for all understanding of His words.
As Always
