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!

Abuse Of Power and Strength

Looking out across the landscape of the modern era it’s quite easy to detect the abuse of power and strength in many facets of life! Political, religious, business, and relationships are just a few amongst a myriad of other facets that have been plagued by this misappropriation of power and strength! The attitude is “I will because I can” which is an attitude that clokes the real truth of estrangement from real power and strength that such victims so cleverly hide! More ominously, these victims also seem to project this pseudo sense of power and strength upon others they view as inferior when in reality (with a keen sense of discernment) we can detect that they are really projecting upon others their insecurity and estrangement from who they really could be if they allowed themselves to be harnessed and eternally strengthened with absolute power and strength that originates from the only true source of lasting power and strength, the Spirit of God! We, as created beings in the image and likeness of God, can never find the true source of lasting power and strength until we allow the Spirit of God to harness and also direct our estranged hearts into this everlasting source (the true meaning of “Divine Providence”) apart and exclusive from our own ambition! Our true and powerful selves can only emerge as we fully immerse ourselves in this deeply penetrating process which will lead us to the greatest revelation of our personal existence; namely that we can exhibit true strength and power without harming and destroying everyone else in the process of natural and spiritual order and simultaneously use our strength and power to build ourselves and also others in our ambit of influence!

The Kerygma Of Christ

Interesting to note is the absolute critical fact that much of the gospel preached in our churches today is not the kerygma that the Apostles preached in the first century churches! Kerygma is a Greek word used to denote that the gospel was in Christ! In Christ refers to the fact that the gospel message was transmitted by the Holy Ghost to the Apostles through ecstatic revelatory experiences garnered as they sought the mind of Christ to not only render effective leadership in the church but also to be the very mouthpieces of their Lord in honor of what he accomplished for them in His death, burial, and resurrection! The Apostles gospel being in Christ (kerygma) was a direct correlation of them having the mind of Christ which occurred when their minds (through ecstatic revelatory experiences) would go beyond themselves but not outside of themselves (as in demonic possession) in order to garner what was in the heart of their Lord in any given epoch of time! From a theological point of view this quality of thinking is referred to as “theonomous thinking” or ratiocination (logical process) that seeks identity with the very essence of Christ as the Living Word! Jesus Christ in proceeding from the Father as the Living Word (homoousios), would in revelatory fashion, express words that would proceed from Him denoting what the essence of the gospel to be proclaimed was to be! Words like repentance, sin, hell, torment, iniquity, forgive, believe,etc. Essential words expressed by the Living Word so that His message would saliently stand alone from all other messages in the world! The Kerygma of Christ is exclusive to all other gods, false ideologies, pseudo and quasi religions, rudiments of epistemological knowledge, etc. Be gravely concerned fellow preachers, theologians, servants of the Lord Jesus Christ, that rendering any other message not born of the kerygmatic essence of The Living Word Jesus Christ will indelibly imprint on your seared reprobate conscience His statement of adjudication when He states: “Depart from me you worker of iniquity”!
