As I considered the obvious flaws of Lakeland and Bentley, I thought about flesh running wild, all in the name of blessing. The money lust, the cackling laughter, the writhing contortions, and demonic apparitions that glide about to bring messages and gifts, a scripture came to me and resounded;
"For many walk, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the [b] CROSS
"Whose end is their destruction, whose god is their appetite, whose glory is their shame, [b]who set their minds on earthly things
The true gospel brings us as son's and daughters, through Heavens gate, as we become like and as Jesus. This is accomplished by our obedience to submit to
[b]our [b]wedding garment
I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish, in order that I may [b]gain[b]and be found in Him
That I may know him, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death, [b]in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead!
The issue with God is that we become as his Son, transformed into beings that love as Himself. This must accompany, in our submission and disciplines with Him, a denial, and willing death of ourselves, as we say your will, not mine. Their is real suffering with this submission to the Father. It is the only way we can attain Heaven, as He sees His Son in us.
Lakeland, Bentley, Olsteen, TBN, and most of Christianity in America today, are enemies to this kind of thought , and doctrine. They enjoy their lives, and vehemently oppose anything that would remove them from enjoying it. [b]BAM!
