It grieves my spirit, to hear Christians,  people,  I know, that love the Lord, say:  “I don’t believe that…”

When they should be asking:  What does the Bible say?”

Too  often, our Belief System, even our Church Doctrines, have nothing to do with Biblical teachings.  

Someone, older and wiser, told us A,B & C  is truth and that’s the way it will always be.  

When Sadly,… if a,b & c, are in the Word, they would probably be an incidental point, yet we treat them as ultimate truth

It is truly a sad day, when we are sure we have the corner on Biblical Truth.  

When a Biblical Teaching, a Bible Truth, is rejected because we were never taught that.

When we pray: “If it be Your will Oh Lord.” 

What of His will do we not know and understand?  

Are we praying for lost souls?    The Lord would have all men come to the truth of  Salvation.

Are we praying for healing?    The Lord healed all that were afflicted.

Are we praying for financial assistence?    My God shall supply all my needs, according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.    The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.

If our prayer is about avoiding the consequences of our actions.  Good luck with that, we reap what we sow.

I cringe when I hear, If he’s not healed here on earth, he will be healed in heaven.    Where do you find that in the Word?

There are many more:  Cleanliness is next to Godliness.  ….  The rich will never enter heaven.     … Money is the root of all evil.

Not everyone needs the Gifts of the Spirit.  … If He wanted me to speak in tongues, He would have given me that Gift. …  Tongues just bring confusion. …
Saints, we need to take off our Denominational  glasses, look at the Word anew.  Ask the Holy Spirit to lead us to the truth.   

We are not a Powerful, Living, example of Gods love and grace, a mighty, growing Church.  

We would rather deny Biblical truth, than accept the possibility, there is more then what we currently know and believe.

Matthew 22:29

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.”

2 Peter 3:15-17

King James Version (KJV)

“And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.”

John 14:11-13

King James Version (KJV)

“Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.   Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.   And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.“

 The Word is clear:

2 Corinthians 10:3-5

King James Version (KJV)

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:    (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)     Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”

We must believe and walk in the Spirit.  To be in that place of truth and power.

Lord, help us please.
