When oh when, pray tell, are you folks going to wise up? The modern day church institutional system invented by Constantine some 1700 years ago WILL NEVER PLEASE YEHOVAH!! I don't care how many candles you light. I don't care how many smoke machines you run. The whole thing from start to finish is a performance of man, and YEHOVAH IS NOT IN IT!!!! You can no more perfect it, that you can cause a rotten apple to be green. If you are attached this Sun Day fanaticism in any way shape or form you are a stench in HIS nostrils.
What if you had an incense burner. And you had some nice sweet incense burning within it. Ah the house smells so good, maybe even worshipful? And someone privately drops a rubber band right on top of your burning incense. What would that do to your intended tranquility? Very disturbing, right? That's a stench.
People are screaming about abortion, and rightly so. It is a most horrible abomination. They cry out against wars, racisms, migrant immigration and who knows what all. And that's ok. But those of us who cry out for purity and holiness among and within HIS congregation? We are treated as OUTCASTS! TROUBLERS! Yes, TRUTH is troubling, for today's "gold calf christianity". I can say it no better than Tozer.....
"Any objection to the carryings on of our present golden-calf Christianity is met with the triumphant reply, "But we are winning them!" And winning them to what? To true discipleship? To cross-carrying? To self-denial? To separation from the world? To crucifixion of the flesh? To holy living? To nobility of character? To a despising of the world's treasures? To hard self-discipline? To love for God? To total committal to Christ? Of course the answer to all these questions is no.”
COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM. If it has a steeple on top, come out of it! If it has pews and a pulpit? Come out of it!!!! You cannot fix it. It will not be revived. It will be and has already been CONDEMNED!!! Your eyes are glazed over. You have ears that detect nothing of the HOLY SPIRIT. You parrot religious insanity that has been passed down for centuries. I don't care what the denomination is, they are all alike and it is an abomination. It cannot please HAYAH because it is a man made institution that deceives mankind. HOW CAN HE POSSIBLY BLESS such as this?
There is only one (maybe two) who are permitted to exercise their "spiritual gifts". All the other gifted people have to keep silent when the congregation meets. It's difficult to call chaos an assembly. Nothing is assembled. It's just a pile of puzzle pieces, and the pastor/whatever has no clue how to turn the group into an assembly that bears the image of CHRIST. WAKE UP!!!
I recently attended a series of teachings on helping folks learn what spiritual gifts are and then how they are applied in every day living. At the end, each one took a "spiritual gifts test". Smiles on faces when they realized what their gift(s) were. Tragic thing is, their gifts are not allowed to be used in their regular meetings. Only a few needed for the stage production are presented. And of those there is little that resembles Biblical spiritual gifts. So why, oh why, train people, awaken their gifts, and then stuff them back in a box (or a pew) to be forgotten? TRUE SPIRITUAL GIFTS are smothered in modern day churchanity! The protocol has no place for such grace.
THEREFORE! The big buildings are having their true value exposed. Ah-ha! They are near empty. And an empty building is not worth much. Will the last one out, please turn off the light.
