Here is what I am thinking...today I was watching the movie Rango with my children. And as I sat there I began to see the movie in a different light. The ppl of the town were so desperate for water, that they were starting to lose hope. And as the mayor of the town knew this he began to play on there desperation. He wanted to cripple the towns people to there knees to the point that they would do ...anything that he wanted. Is this not the same thing with church? We are so desperate to know God is real. We are so desperate for the blessing that we have gone to great lengths, and some of us have lost our lives. They told us to praise Him, and we did. They told us to give, and we did. They told us that faith is not seeing, and we believed. Today, God is lifting from His throne and every wolf God is coming for you. We were created to believe the Word of God, not the person speaking the word. Because the bible says the word of God is without fault. Every word is to be believed. But, the problem is that we believe the person more than we believe God's word. Today, its time for us to go and get our own bibles, and become a committee of one. It's time to stop listening to just anybody. Its time to make sure that the person giving you the word is correct, because the minute they come out of the bible you need to stop listening. God is waiting on His church, and He is not taking "no" for an answer.
Allow me a few more minutes of your time. When I was younger I grew up in a baptist church were the preacher was always excited. It seemed like every services he was preaching about what God was going to do, and what God could do. And every Sunday the whole church danced a scream to his every word. Every time he said that God was on the main line...the church hit the floor. Every time he said Your blessing is on the way....the church hit the floor again. Every high point he had that resulted in the blessing part of the message....the response was automatic. The church went bananas. Now as I am thinking back on what he did and the things that he said, I know because I read and study the word of myself that getting the blessings isn't easy as he suggested. I mean...the bible tells and teaches us better than that. So, as I became curious to how God operates He begin to feed me the truth. The bible says that those that thirst and hunger after righteousness shall be filled. And because that this God's truth that is what happened to me. Some of the questions that I asked myself were; what is the blessing? Why do we need the blessing? What do we do with the blessing when we get it? Why doesn't everyone get the blessing? Can the blessing be taken, and who would it then go to...the blessing? And as I asked God, surely did He answer me. >>>>Because this is going to be long I am going to have to break this teaching up into series. I am going to have to feed you a little at a time because it is alot. But, before we begin I want you to get, borrow, or go out and purchase your own bible. For digestion purpose get a NIV study bible so that you can check what I am saying, making sure that it is written.
