Who is God?
What does He do?
What is this world?
God has an imprint of Himself everywhere... but do we see it? God has great plans for us... but do we listen to His leadings? God does not need the doctrine of man to conduct His own work.
We need to share His witness in us. We need to exhort one another. We need hear from those gentiles what God is doing in their lives.
It is not a one man show. The parable of the good samaritan was revealed because there was a religious expert questioning Jesus what is the greatest commandment of all? This man, per say, had a note book in the back of his pocket taking notes so that he could follow the rules of scripture- just so that he could put a check mark next to it upon completion.
We need to step aside! Everyone take a step back, do a self evaluation of our own selves and our duties that we given responsibility of. It is not a one man show. Everyone should have an opportunity to share testimony. What I am saying is that we need to throw away the bulletin for a while... not to say it is a bad thing to have one- but, it is a tradition of man to be used as a guideline in our rituals... so, maybe we should get rid of it.
God is continually trying to reach out to us... but, do we know how to listen to His guidance? We need to seek Him earnestly, diligently, DAILY- meaning everyday! Can't we pray w/ Him one hour? Do you not invest time in relationships w/ people of this earth? How much so, then should we invest time w/ Christ?
He shall baptize you w/ fire of the Holy Spirit. Once He has done that, you'll never go back to your wicked ways. That is not to say that we will still fail. But this fire is not freely given as people say. He may not give it to you until you expose yourself to Him unconditionally. Let go of everything that is contrary to the way that God intends for us to live. There is so much more than... living w/out Him.
Living w/out Him is living according to this world. Are you addicted to this world? Or, are you happy w/ which He has provided for you. Are you living... according to what society has accepted as okay-to-do? Or, are we listening to the conviction of the Holy Spirit in our sin?
I think that we can share testimony in our messages, not just a message that has been scripted so that we can relate to others as Jesus relates to us.
Its not about us doing the work. We should not let our thoughts get in the way of His thoughts. We are empty vessels for His to use. He will put words in our mouths at the time of need. We need to submit to Him, not to our check-list. We need to answer His call when He reaches out to us. You think your prayers are your prayers? Do you ever hear His provision and promise through the prayers that come out of your mouth? Do you wait for His prayers, as He prays for us, to come out of your mouth? Do you honor yourself or justify yourself in the deeds that you conduct yourself in- in other words, are you putting a check-mark next to everything that you do for the Lord?
Did you know that you are nothing? Did you know that you did not invent your faith? Did you know that you cannot increase your faith? Did you know that you cannot will healing by self-righteousness? Whom are we conducting our perceived work for? For ourselves? For the elders of the church? Do you think that all this lashing is of my tongue???
Are these words sound like a clanging cymbal or are these words fruit bearing?
Do you resist these words in your own prideful ways? If so, all you have to do is tell the Lord that you don't appreciate what was written. Tell the Lord that you just don't like it. If so, then I encourage to ask Him what He is saying... this is not Peter Pickett's message.
