Hey here is God

Lets do some digging as preliminary to the main message.

Christians by an large are mostly timid souls about claiming their inherited right as part of the new birth.

I have to say it suited me perfectly for many years this concept of God in heaven while we take care of business here below.

No uncomfortable God to talk to, but all done with the smoke and mirrors of pretended instructions from above.We had swallowed the bilge water of the early Reformers.Divine majesty did not need to talk to people any longer.

After all we had graduated to a new day with God in His heaven with His office staff across the street in some church.While the ordinary peasant sat staring in awe at the new masters of God's domain.The pulpit, with this apparition in a black robe holding court with the Word of God. Telling us all the things we needed to know without having to bother to check with the Spirit of God.

Who was supposed to be speaking what they heard to the eager listeners. The problem was intellectualism was king in the new churches.

(not this as if I am opposed to the intellectual side of the Church.I am anything but opposed but lets not make a god out of it.It is important to be well informed.God has given us brains lets use them.It has always been my lifestyle to read everything I can get my hands on.I still have a library of thousands of books.Tools to use in the ministry of the word.) There is always two choices to make when it comes to spiritual truth.We can be dry intellect or warm spirits full of the Spirit of Jesus.Knowing more than just intellectually game play of the have the most toys in the form of degrees.

To bolster up the sagging image of someone who says he is God's servant.Living in the make believe world of prayers without really believing God will do anything about them.Until the day comes like it did for Alexander Whyte .He had a friend was seriously ill .He prayed earnestly for his friends healing.

Then a voice spoke to him.

The voice of the Spirit of God in his spirit.If your friends healing could be speed-ed up.Would you be willing to give half of the life you have left and divided it up with your friend? Alexander Whyte said all of a sudden the shoe was on the other foot.

He was asked to contribute to the healing of his friend.He said it took all night to wrestle with God over this question.In the end he said yes he was willing to give up half of the years left him to have his friend healthy again.

Here is where intellectual dry Christian truth parts from vibrant living faith.Hearing God speak commands us to do things which are very hard on our human nature.

The nature of a living vibrant relationship with Christ is different then being a member of a local church.Living in the realm of the Spirit is anything but easy.There is no longer an excuse we can hide behind.We hear the Spirit of God speaking to us and any thoughts about a sane life go out the door.

The first time I heard the Spirit of God speaking to me it scared the pee wadding out of me. I was informed of certain thing I would be doing and life has never been the same again.

I have done things,been to places, I never want to visit ever again.My life since that time has been a roller coaster ride. Which I cannot explain to anyone least of all my sane self. I want to talk about the baptism the immersion of the Spirit.This is the preliminary to everything in relationship to THE SAVING LIFE OF CHRIST MORE TO FOLLOW

Ok lets get to it.No more beating around the bush

For some time now I have been very dissatisfied with Christian experience.I love the Lord with unbridled passion. I have been digging and digging into how to get in a closer relationship with Him.

There is only one reality to me the reality of being saved by Jesus blood and righteousness.Since I don't have none.All my faculties are focused on Christ.Observing the average Christian.

I have the feeling they are playing games of make belief with very little personal passion. Christianity has become common place centered on the external. Wanting to be acceptable with the rest of the world.

It has aped the world with its degrees and doctorates to be equally as important as Lawyers in their profession.Giving many ministers a leverage to demand salaries equal to the legal profession.

After all they have become now professional sheep herders. With many among them sheep shearers tramping down the good pasture meant to be reserved for the flock belong to God.

It has become what Paul describes in Acts 20:28 - 37 "TAKE HEED THEREFORE...............................read it since i am only going to quote one verse from the context of the passionate plea of Paul the Apostle V.30 Also of your own selves shall men arise,speaking perverse things,to draw away disciples after them self."

All you have to think about is the new think and get rich in Christian dress. Think about those who go around healing in the name of Jesus while fleecing the sheep doing it with style and gusto.How different then some I have known who where prophets,in deed and truth. Ministering the word of God to those in need.

Like my friend Victor Graham who for sixty some years represented the cause of Christ without asking any one for money.Who received a mandate from the Spirit of God consisting of 3 things

1.FEED MY FLOCK

2.DON'T MAKE THEM YOUR OWN.

3.DON'T CHARGE THEM.

Yet the church he pastored did a lot of social action in the neighbor hood.It repaired roofs,it fed the widows and fatherless.Victor only kept enough for himself to pay the overhead the rest he gave away. Whose whole life was prophecy and listening to the Holy Spirit for directions.

Who had a habit of showing up at some one's house without being told there was a need for groceries rent or car repair.

He would come to the door and say the Lord has sent me and told me you have a need for some help. He received from the Spirit of God the message Victor there are people in need.He knew in deed and truth the Saving life of Jesus. His message was "YOU MAY ALL PROPHESY"

The words of Jesus versus the words of preachers.

The Words of Jesus create instant heart palpitations for attempting to live in them is hard work.We hear only a half baked message from many popular gurus of faith.

The church representing Jesus Christ has a lot to answer for. Instead of "if your enemy hunger feed him " Romans 12: 19 we are learning the new Christianity.Cut your enemies of at the knees.Kill the bastards.

Best illustrated by Ivor Powell when he spoke about 2 little boys who had heard the preacher say '' If your not baptized by immersion you will got hell" so the two little boys decided the goat they had needed to be baptized.The two little boys decided the best for it was the slough behind the house.There they were pushing tugging trying to get the goat in the water.

The goat rammed both boys a few times.They got mad.So one boy said to the other "let's just sprinkle him and let him go hell" This in general is the attitude most Christian have when it comes to their neighbor.

I hear to many Christians talking about a love of self but damn the neighbor.Let him look after himself. Hateful words spewed all over the world about those who don't believe as we do the gays,the Muslims,the atheist.

The concept is lets sprinkle em and let them go to hell.There is little left of the live and let live attitude before the Roman catholic church set to work with the inquisition in Spain(circa the 13 to 15 hundreds) Where Christians and Muslim,Unbelievers in general lived in harmony with each other without creating conflict.As neighbors looking out for each other.

Many preachers and Mullah's preach hate. We should not fall in the same category as those who preach hate.We should preach the great commandment Mathew 22:35- 40 Go look it up. The saving life of Christ is obeying the precepts He gave for us to study and learn.Nothing the Spirit of God asks of us is ever easy.Let me tell you one more story.I was invited as a guest at a meeting of Muslims and Christians to give my five cent worth. I sat with a man who looked like the world had come to an end.

I did not ask him what he was.All I did ask was."Can I help you?" He said "I doubt it! "I persisted and said "lets hear what your problem is" He told me he was unemployed. I did what I usually do simple "Let's pray to the Father." so I laid my hand on his shoulder and prayed a simple prayer.

Explaining the mans need to God.He looked strange at me and said "but I am a Muslim" When I "said so what God hears the prayer of everyone it does not matter what you are". He is my neighbor. If it would have been within my power to give him a job I would have done it.

The loss of biblical innocence

Theologians of every though or believe system have stolen the Innocent truth from us.I think it is with a sort holy anger. Which directs me to stand up like a prophet of old and state.

WE HAVE BEEN ROBBED !!!!!!!!!!!!In the age of an information glut we have been robbed of the truth which is expressed in the context of scripture.

This has caused us to be made into a weak anemic church which has a casual acquittance with the blood and glory of the cross. Which has lost its moorings in the real truth.A lot of stuff is shoveled out of many churches.

Called truth but sorry people it is unmitigated BS. I don't mean a Bachelor of Science either.I mean the stuff left behind by bulls.

The cross of Christ most churches glory in is a weak anemic skeleton which can't fight its way out of a wet paper bag.

It is more interested ,led by the like like of Joel Oosteen supported by all the new crowned Christian artists who sing of "I then shall live as one who is forgiven" While proudly displaying the tokens of the la la land of personal prosperity.

Christian have fallen in love with the gold Rolex on the wrist as a sign of personal prosperity.God help me I fell for the same garbage when I was loaded with money to burn.I lasted exactly a few month.

Then the Holy Spirit convicted me of being a selfish bastard. Who saw no small children with their noses pressed against my t.v screen in need of food and sustenance.Who need the money attached to my wrist in vested in a gold Ebel watch.I listen like the rest of to the misquoted scriptures by Oral Roberts ,Copeland and others.

It sounded so good "good measure well pressed down" put in dime get back 10 dollars.The myth of seed faith to build another 2 million or more mansion for some guru of the blab it and grab it movement.

God I confess I was a fool who almost fell for the con of easy riches to feed my selfish heart. Luke 6: 38 is the swan song of Seed Faith. Neglecting to read the whole context.I had to learn the hard way V 27- 30 when my company I had built on blood sweat and tears was taken from me.

The hardest part of the learning experience was the new seed faith based on truth.V 30 GIVE TO EVERY MAN THAT ASKS OF YOU;AND OF HIM WHO TAKES WAY YOUR GOODS ASK THEM NOT AGAIN"

Is it easy? Not in the least to watch years of research being taken from you by the man who you befriended and the other brother in the faith who was your business partner. In hindsight it was needed. Especially not to asks them for the money owed.

True Christian faith lives in the saving life of Jesus not in the ashes of the past or the current empires we build.We lost the biblical innocence when we began to read what we like neglecting the parts we don't like. ............ more to follow

THE SAVING LIFE OF CHRIST

In my heart there is restlessness born from observation of the modern church.which has very little of value to offer to the world.I am pushed by the Holy Spirit to begin this blog dealing with the heart of what the CHRISTIAN faith is to display.

What I observe is people in the market place with their flutes playing songs and hymns as they prepare another Sunday feast of dispersing religious aspirins. Aping the heavy metal rock bands or some other modern music fest. While the preachers offer a homily on being good or becoming saved.When I asked one of the church goers well how was the message today.The answer was very inspiring.The preacher had a real fire in his message.

Perhaps I should have left it at this but being what I am.A stirrer of religiosity stews.I said well then what was the text and what did he say.They got angry and said it was good why do you have to destroy what is good. My reply was but if it was so good why can't you remember what he said?????? To this was an angry stomp out of my front room.not wanting to talk with me any longer.

Then I was at CHURCH a new one with many people flocking to it.So I went and there was the preacher in full steam ahead and said something which normally would have sen my raised hand in the air.What he said at full flight in his sermon was"PEOPLE TALK ABOUT GOD ALL THE TIME.THEN THE SHOCKER...............................................WE DON'T NEED GOD WE NEED JESUS. What kind of deal is this what bible did he read? A guy with a theological degree who did not know his peas from his corns.Without God the father of us all we would not have Jesus.

Having heard so my prattled garbage over the years where I used to go to church. Returning to my childhood looking up at the ceiling thinking could any one swing from chandelier How did something which was supposed to be dynamic made to be dull like a twice told fairy tale.

Causing me to resorted to think about flying from chandeliers to pass the time of day. While the preacher stumbled along with his peg leg sermon..There is something seriously wrong in the churches which are supposed to be alive.BUT are deader than a door nail.With the only fire the steam boiler in the basement keeping very one warm.

Having gone to several churches over the years.Having been caused to be named as one who troubles the people with questions and giving answers to questions.They don't want to hear. With one woman flying almost at my throat as I questioned some of the things the darling new preacher had done,said and neglected to do. So I have decided to find a new outlet for talking about the things which are more important than life itself THE SAVING LIFE OF CHRIST. This is only the warm up. There is a lot more to follow I will show you how the living Christ is the as relevant to day as the day he lived on the earth.
