Unadulterated Service To Our Lord

I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name. ( Isaiah 65:1) Much of what we see in the church today could be termed as enlightment philosophy but it is not true unadulterated service to our Lord! Preachers and teachers are building their brands instead of pointing others to the Holy King of the only kingdom that can never be destroyed by any other power/authority (which is demonic hubris as satanic expression). The word of the Lord is delivered “for us” and not “against us”. The word of the Lord is used like a platter rather than a mirror; it is served for our hedonistic and nominalistic desires instead of being served as a revelatory pruning force designed to remove sin (estranged thoughts and behavior) and invoke holiness in our lives. Many Christians are good practitioners of religious effort and not sanctified believers whose lives rise and fall at the commandment of our Great King. The Prophets of the Old Testament called Him “Lord God” and the Apostles of the New Testament referred to His Son as “The Lord Jesus Christ”! “Lord” meaning His servants are to respond to His commandments not contemplate them and adjust or remove what we don’t like in order to not truly change to be more like Him. In much of Christiandom in the modern era we say “God” with no reference to His “Lordship” in our lives. Like much of the Enlightenment philosophy of previous eras we are in control of our destinies and “God” is only needed like a genie let out of His bottle to fulfill our every command. This is unacceptable to all of us who are truly sanctified and serving under His Lordship. We have great churches in America led by great names and yet in many of the messages delivered in our houses of worship terms like sin, repentance, estrangement, rebuke, holiness, sober, etc. are unemployed in favor of terms that are more inspirational and unprovoking of holiness and divine change. The Lord is calling to a Holy nation within this nation (1 Peter 2:9) in order to bring America out of its estranged state and back to His Lordship! (Just reflecting in the early morning hours)

Theocratic Wisdom

(Philippians 3:20) For our conversation (citizenship) is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:” “Our citizenship is in heaven” is a declarative statement to believers of all generations that our strength, hope, security, validation, recognition, etc. is not rooted in the humanistic systems of this present world which are bombarded with wickedness that operates in the high places of these systems! These systems were originally designed by the Lord to be a Theocracy where He as King would rule over us as His people for our health and well being! These systems over the course of human and world history have become distorted through humanistic and satanic influences leaving a wake of deathly manifestations that were never intended by their Original Creator! Believers have lived with these distorted systems and their deathly manifestations for many generations and that is why it is paramount that every believer must understand that we are in this present world but not of its distorted systems! We must also realize that we are to walk by faith and not by sight, which means, that we must deal with the situations, circumstances, and vicissitudes of life based on the internal reality of our conviction of the principles of our Father’s Word and not on the external distortion of reality that occurs before us existentially! We must recognize that when unfavorable situations arise before us through humanistic/satanic influences we have our Father’s Spirit present within us to “lift up a standard” against the prevailing order! Notice the words, “a standard” meaning the Holy Spirit guides us through His principled wisdom which supercedes all other forms of wisdom which are contradistinctive and antithetical to what our Father originally designed for our health and well being! The Holy Spirit guides our hearts and minds to a contrary disposition of what is the prevailing order no matter how popular or decadent it may be in order to protect us from the deathly manifestations that will undoubtedly occur when evil has run its course! No one can answer to our Heavenly Father for us no matter how much they love us or how close they may be with us, therefore the principles of His word must be our determining factor when making decisions concerning our lives and nothing and no one else! This brings to past my favorite verse in all of scripture: “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 1 Peter 3:15 (Another oil point from Theology Nation)

Spiritual Blindness

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. (Psalm 9:17) Our nation is suffering from a spiritual blindness that over two millenniums ago Jesus warned his generation of (not to mention Him asking His Father to forgive them for it)! A spiritual blindness that just a little over sixty years ago an American slain prophet by the name of Dr. Martin Luther king Jr warned us would lead us to co-annihilation if we were not accepting of co-existence as it relates to our neighbor! We as a nation are arguing the tenets of God’s Word as if it is a legal case with tenable and untenable suppositions that can be accepted or rejected with the hypostasis of our own conscientious objections. God’s Word is an impenetrable ontological reality expressed as command which penetrates the human heart in order to make the individual responsible for that which they innately and implicitly are aware of in spite of their explicit denial of this awareness. Therefore, the infinite principals of love, peace, and justice cannot be altered/tailored to the individual’s subjective formulations but rather, these infinite principals stand aloof from foolish deductions of hate and cognitive divisiveness which are, at their radix, satanically inspired. If our nation is to actually heal from this deathly blindness that has swept across it like a spiritual blitz krieg; every individual is going to have to repent for our part in this finite venomous atrophy of concern for our neighbor and ask the Lord to open our hearts and eyes to His Word and it’s command to love our neighbor as ourselves!

Understanding Holy Sacred Writ

In order to understand the Bible (Holy sacred writ) accurately you must have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit because two very important realities must occur! The first one is a synthesis of the scriptures in which the Holy Spirit guides the reader to and amalgamates several texts in the scriptures together to formulate a specific message that the reader is to understand concerning themselves/something, some situation, or someone else in their life. The second one is revelation in the scriptures in which the Holy Spirit guides the reader’s mind beyond the viewed text in time into the eternal realm (which is not bound by time) in order to reveal (uncover) a specific message in the text that cannot be formulated through logical processes (ratiocination). The Holy Spirit accomplishes this reality not by driving the mind outside of itself as in demonic possession, but He guides the reader’s mind beyond the capacities of time while simultaneously protecting the psychological capabilities from disintegration. I have termed this reality an “Ecstatic Revelatory Experience” or E.R.E. for short. Both of these realities must be concomitant sources in accurately understanding the Bible and cannot be produced outside of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the reader’s heart!

Long Range Battles

One of the greatest hallmarks of spiritual maturity is the ability to win the long range battles of life not just the short range battles! The ability to love over a great expanse of time not just when it’s convenient! The ability to give over a long epoch of time not just when it’s convenient! The ability to support and remain loyal over a great chasm of time not just when it’s convenient! The ability to walk with others through their difficult and painful times over a vast breath of tears and confusion not just when it’s convenient! The ability to rejoice with others in their blessings; praise their accomplishments and achievements; in an unfeigned manner, to sincerely be happy for their well being over a mighty stretch of time not just when it suits us and we want to be seen of others! The stark and sobering reality for every believer is this, namely, that no matter how lofty, exalted, and high we ascend before the Lord if we can’t win the long range battles of life satan is fully aware that we may win the short range battle and be free for a day and yet lose the long range battle and be held captive in our hearts for a lifetime!
