><>..Amen Steve, and no one has it more down pat, then the
rapture theorists....
Steve I was not talking about being bogged down with religion, that is bad enough...I was talking about being taught things that God did not say....
I thank God, that He took me out of the vain imaginations of man, real quick..But only because I cried out to God for His truths, not mans...He knew my heart...I was not satisfied with "many different answers"...usually "just believe, and have faith in God"."trust God"...to the same questions......Point being the reason why false teachers are able to flourish is because they have congretations with "itch ears"...otherwise false teachers could not stand...christians "hold" them up...God help us!
As long as their is breath within me I shall hunger for truth, God's truth, and He will satisfy me with His righteousness....there are tools available to help us in understanding our Father's word, and we will be held full responsibility to God ourselves....there will be no pastors, no scholars,no teachers, and no "other" authors who will stand between us and our Father when it comes time to answer to Him....we will have no excuse...
If I live 1000 years I know I will never know everything, but I will die learning my Father's word...
So maybe your ministry is buying churches in Mexico and So. America, I can't take that from you, but it is not for everyone, God knows there is much other work to be done for His kingdom.....For me, at this point in my life God has me studying intensely, and I am confident that it is for His Glory, although specifically I cannot tell as of yet.
I do know I have an almost insatiable huger to learn everything I can of His word, and He is revealing to me things I had never dared dream...Praise His Holy name...
We are all at different levels, and different understandings, some excell in one area while still some in others....I have never made light of what ever you have said concerning your dreams or the churches you say you are building in foreign countries, this is between you and God. And I have always respected your knowledge in many areas, whether it be deliverance of demons or baptizing on the beach...These are areas for me that God has not gifted me with as of yet, and maybe never will...we all have different gifts and we must use them as God gives them to us....and use them for His glory alone..
I am always open to God, His word and His works. God is always surprising me and I am always in awe of Him and the majesty that is of God alone.If any of us ever get jaded then we have lost our hunger for Him, and have quenched the Holy Spirit...and we will face God in shame...
Genesis to Revelation, sure it could be read in a year.....but not in 10 life time can it be totally understood....God is continually revealing to me and helping me understand Him deeper and deeper everyday...
So much so I want there to be 48 hrs. in a day...and every evening I go to sleep thanking God for what He has given me in his word, looking forward to tomorrow.
If God blesses someone with an insatiable hunger for His word and they act on it, and in return God rewards them with the knowledge and revelation of it after diligent prayer and hard work, why should they not share it....It is for the glory of God...all is for the glory of God.
If I live a thousand years I will never know all that there is to know but I shall die trying...and in the mean time I shall know all that God allows me to know....
Just thought I'd show you a little of my heart.
Have a blessed day my friend
Shalom....><>
PS...I've been around long enough to say that "Only God could surprise me any more"....I live to serve Him and serve Him I will, He truly is my life... |
