He called some………..

This writing has been stirring within me for a very long time. Therefore, I am compelled to speak His Word concerning His church. May He according to His Word root out, pull down, destroy and throw down as well as build and plant. Yes, I said destroy! Beloved, He said, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shall be no priest to me; seeing that you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget my children.” We hear the beginning of this verse quoted regularly yet fail to acknowledge all that He has said, in that we are destroyed because the knowledge of Him is rejected. This is the subject that I will speak with you today concerning, rejecting the knowledge of God.

Little children, as John referred to us as is appropriate in this regard. Truly you act as little children that are unaware of your actions. First I must make it clear that it is not the responsibility of your leader (be it pastor, bishop, etc) to provide you with the knowledge of God. For many this is the error which causes them to not have a foundation within themselves and to never grow. For they wait faithfully for a man to speak the Words of God to them. Foolish ones and slow of heart. Jesus became our High priest so that we would each have access to God. God gave us His Holy Spirit to lead us, guide us and teach us of Him. And of course He has given us His Word, (the bible) which we have in abundance. He did give us some apostles, prophets, evangelist, pastors and teachers.  Until we come to maturity. Some…. Have you ever considered that Jesus choose twelve? Those twelve turned the known world around with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Today we have umpteenth pastors, apostles, prophets, etc in each congregation within each city, within each state, within each country. I am sure you get my point. And to what avail, so that you can sit and wait for some one to provide you with the knowledge of God to consider? I say this to your shame and to the shame of your leaders. Who exactly is benefiting from your behavior? Certainly not you and not the God of heaven! He is not glorified in a lazy, ignorant church. As He said, you reject His knowledge and He rejects you.

We have been blessed beyond measure, yet are full of lust, selfishness and disregard for the holiness of God. You are repeating history and have clamored for a king to fight your battles for you, one that you can see and blame for your misfortune. While waiting for some one to give you the next Word to set you free, or put your mind at ease for a moment. You will never know the liberty of God until you come to the knowledge of His Word.: “If the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed, but My Word has no place in you”.

We must first know the Word of God for ourselves. Which means you must pick up your own bible and read it, daily. Then we must obey each and every Word spoken regardless of how we feel, what anyone says, or how you will be perceived. You will find many thoughts and beliefs you’ve embraced are contrary to His Word. Therefore, repent! And turn from your wickedness and God will forgive you. And walk anew! And you will find the knowledge of Him! That knowledge will give you all things that pertain to life and godliness. You will find God! Isn’t that what we all want?
