Jn 6:45 “It is written in the prophets, ‘AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.
Now I recently read where someone posting thinks that we are taught by the different churches and denominations. That kind of thinking is not hard to find in the church today. And I can understand it, because we take the leader (pastor priest or preacher) and have that single person get up in front of the church and give the "message" for that week. Yet that person is not God!!!!
Now understand that I am not against someone bring a message, prophecy, teaching, word of knowledge, or even a tongue with and interpretation. And it is also clear that we need and God placed leaders in the churches. Yet if our churches only think their pastor, prophet, teacher, priest, is the only one taught of God so they are to bring the message they do not match up with the Bible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now when the Lord asks me to go to a church, and He certainly does at times even telling me what ministry He wants me in, I want to go and do what He tells me and I don't worry about if the leaders are doing it correct. And so it is that today, just a few minutes ago, He asked me to cover this for Him.
So I am saying that I don't worry or get concerned with how the church He tells me to go to operates, but HE does!!!!
So, are you leaders, and those of you who consider yourselves to be leaders in the church, listen to Him???
I am just saying I don't care, but He tells me that He does care that you listen to Him!!
And in that regard, He has me preaching the Word of God to mean Him and us personally listening to Him. And from what I hear from Him, He is adamite about this!! Indeed, I just heard Him in my ear saying that where it is written that many will come to Him on that day saying they did things in His name but He tells them He never knew them, well that is going to include many leaders in churches!! And He said something about those glorifying themselves will not be in the glory of His Kingdom.
So you leaders might want to ask yourself - 'Do I personally know the Lord and spend time talking back and forth with Him'.
If you are not so sure, then ask if you leadership results in anything that looks like " ‘AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD.'?
Of course the "All" means those going to heaven and not those sent away because He does not know them, right?
Mat 7:23 “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'
1 Cor 12:7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.
1 Cor 14:29 Let two or three prophets speak....
Now I have been to a few churches where you might have "two or three prophets speak", but that is not how it is in most Christian churches I have been to. Indeed, it is not even how it is in the Christian "charismatic" church the Lord currently has me going to! It sometimes is like that in the back rooms, but only there and not always there either. So are leaders leading the services or trying to be the services? Does not the rest of 1 Cor 14:29 read "... and let the others pass judgment."
That to me is incredible, because as Christians we know that Jesus did not judge but as He heard He judged. But if His sheep hear His voice, then what gets judged if the Lord cares about this even when I don't? Which is to say, "what judgement do I hear from Him when I listen to Him?" I will tell you, but you should have read about it already. It has not changed, has it?
Is 30:1 “Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the LORD,
“Who execute a plan, but not Mine,
And make an alliance, but not of My Spirit,
In order to add sin to sin;
Still there is good news:
Is 30:20,21 Although the Lord has given you bread of privation and water of oppression, He, your Teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will behold your Teacher. Your ears will hear a word behind you, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right or to the left
So who is your teacher, and who are we who know Him learning from?
I am telling you the Christian who thinks 'we are taught by the different churches and denominations' does not know Him, or they would know that He is the Teacher, and anyone getting up with a teaching at church should have been hearing from the Teacher, right?
