No Superstars

During the great healing ministries of the mid-twentieth century, people made those with a special gift of healing into super-stars. Charles S, Price said he didn’t want the limelight. He wanted to stay hidden behind the old rugged cross. Christians today need to direct everyone to know Jesus Christ personally. So many are looking for money or fame. The ministry is Christ within you. You are human with a fleshly nature just like all of us, but we are here to discern Christ the body. We are here to see Christ in each member of this body. As we all, with the fleshly veil removed from our faces, beholding, as in a mirror, the glory of the Lord, are transfigured into the same image from glory to glory even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Man’s chief difficulty

 

Man’s chief difficulty

Man’s chief difficulty seems to be simply this: in his limited and finite understanding he does not have the vision of greater and vaster and higher and deeper and broader expanses of God’s Truth.

NEITHER DO I CONDEMN YOU; GO AND SIN NO MORE

NEITHER DO I CONDEMN YOU; GO AND SIN NO MORE

https://freegospelmusic.org/songs/neither-do-i-condemn-you-go-and-sin-no-more/

Someone has slipped today,
Into some fleshly way,
They were off guard somehow.
In condemnation crying now.
Jesus is here today,
Hear Him forgive and say,

CHORUS:
Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more,
Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more,
Lest a worse thing befall you,
Lest a worse thing befall you,
Lest a worse thing befall you,
Go and sin no more.

Those in the depths of sin,
Feeling condemned within,
They try to defend their lust,
But there is one whom they can trust.
Jesus is here today,
Hear Him forgive and say,

CHORUS

Churches in disarray,
Making up their own way,
Rapidly they decline,
With orders and precepts from their own mind.
Jesus is here today,
Hear Him forgive and say,

CHORUS

Some won’t obey God’s word,
Feeling so self-assured,
Letting the world hold sway;
Somehow they thought t’would be okay.
Jesus is here today,
Hear Him forgive and say,

CHORUS

Did you fail to seek His face,
Leaving that secret place?
From His presence did you stray?
Did you let His Spirit slip away?
Jesus is here today,
Hear Him forgive and say,

CHORUS

Did His Spirit urge you on
To levels and heights beyond?
But nay-sayers told you, “No!”
You listened to them and would not go.
Jesus is here today,
Hear Him forgive and say,

CHORUS

Be Patient

Five things:

First, we don’t know anything about what’s going on. We need to be patient and wait and see. If you are tied into media sources, you are tied into the false prophet system, and you will be deceived. Wait and see. Don’t get impatient with God or with those who are trying to follow God.

Second, some people get the idea that prophets must have reached perfection and never are impacted by human failings. They have a big straight ruler they use to measure everyone else, but they use a crooked and flexible ruler to measure themselves. They place heavy weights on other people, but they wouldn’t even try to lift those weights themselves.

Third, prophets make mistakes. Teachers make mistakes. Christians make mistakes. God doesn’t want anyone to make any mistakes or to ever speak any word or do any act that doesn’t begin with a word from Him and continue with Him saying the words of doing the words through us. Anything else is sin. Anything else is straying from the Path. Anything else will require repentance and forgiveness.

Fourth, some people have a cessationist theology, which is a false, anti-Bible teaching. It is false teaching that causes damage to those who listen to such a teaching.

Fifth, a prophecy might have been inaccurate. If that so, then God didn’t say that thing through the prophet. Just as when you sin doesn’t mean you aren’t a Christian. You can be a Christian and be quite confused and wrong on doctrine. If you have the right Spirit and have enough humility to allow the Holy Spirit to correct you, God will get you to where He wants you.
