The State of American Ministry – No Depth Perception (One-Eyed-Preaching)

Posted on December 8, 2012 by SoSpression

The State of American Ministry

A true prophetic message does more than show vision and hope for the future. – encouragement & faith (right eye)

A true prophetic message also brings all the power of eternity instantly into the now, and forces you to make a concrete decision of Obedient Change that impacts your life forever. – repentance & fruit (left eye)

One-Eyed Preaching – that only sees from one side – lacks Depth Perception. It’s misleading, false and unfruitful.

Lamentations 2:14 nasb
Your prophets have seen for you False and foolish visions; And they have not exposed your iniquity So as to restore you from captivity, But they have seen for you false and misleading oracles.

Lamentations 2:14 NIV
The visions of your prophets were false and worthless; they did not expose your sin to ward off your captivity. The oracles they gave you were false and misleading.

Lamentations 2:14 ESV
Your prophets have seen for you false and deceptive visions; they have not exposed your iniquity to restore your fortunes, but have seen for you oracles that are false and misleading.

Lamentations 2:14 kjv
Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity ; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.

You Can NEVER Escape Obedience to GOD – An Intro to Spiritual Retardation

Posted on December 8, 2012 by SoSpression

The only way to escape obedience is with disobedience and punishment.

You can NEVER escape God’s character-building processes through work, through family, or through ministry.

Spiritual Retardation is more than ignorance (even though they go hand in hand). Spiritual retardation is to refuse spiritual maturity or advancement in obedience thru suffering, and to choose disobedience and avoid suffering instead:

Being lazy and resisting work is a sign of spiritual retardation.

Resisting God’s purpose and plan for family and resisting nature and natural roles is a sign of spiritual retardation.

Resisting Gods high call on your life or ministry is a sign of spiritual retardation.

Hebrews 5:8
8 Though he [Jesus Christ] were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

When you say you want to do God’s Will, you need to be ready for the Pain that comes when He BREAKS đź’” YOUR Will.
#notmywillbutThineBeDone

If Jesus learned obedience thru suffering, how much more should we?

Disobedience and Ignorance go hand in hand. It’s like the old question – which came first, the chicken or the egg?

We are disobedient because of ignorance, and we are ignorant because of disobedience – because God pours out His Spirit and reveals His knowledge to those who obey His reproof (Proverbs 1:23).

When you delay obedience and refuse to advance to the stage you are supposed to be in, your spiritual progress becomes retarded.

Consistently avoiding obedience, suffering and maturity leads to more opportunities for obedience, suffering and maturity. So you never really escape Gods process of obedience anyway. Then in the end, disobedience leads to punishment You might as well obey Him at every stage, suffer temporarily, and be blessed with JOY!

A quote from Stan Rogers: 7 Non-Spiritual Reasons the Earth is only a Few Thousand – NOT Millions of Years Old

Posted on December 5, 2012 by SoSpression

Stan Rogers Says:
December 3, 2012 at 7:16 PM | Reply

– As the sun burns it’s losing 5 feet of mass per hour which means it’s shrinking which means it use to be heavier which means gravity was also stronger. This tells us that 20 or 30 million years ago the sun would have been so big it would have torched the earth and boiled our oceans.

– Our calenders only go back to the year 4000 BC. The population curve started about 4500 year ago, the flood was about 4400 years ago. How many billions of people should we have by now?

– The oldest known living trees are Bristlecone pine tree which are about 4844 years old.

– When they drill for oil ,the pressure is so great it sometimes reaches 20,000 lbs per square inch and scientist say that the pressure should have leaked off in 10 to 15,000 yrs.

– Outer space is full of dust, so why did the astronauts only find less of an inch of it when they last landed on the moon if our solar system is a billion years old? They expected to find 8200 feet of it. This is why the craft had those big landing pads.

– The moon is getting further away from the earth at a rate of 1.5 inches per year ,so just one million years ago ,the earth would have flooded over twice a week due to high tide.

– The Mid- Ocean Ridge is a seam in the earth that wraps around the earth like a seam in baseball. Gradualism is blown apart by what happen in Mount St Helen.

2 Peter 3

5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

 

You have to be ignorant WILLINGLY to ignore the fact that God destroyed the earth by a flood a few thousand years ago, and that He is going to destroy it again by fire and start it brand new with Jesus Christ installed physically as King!

Labor and Suffer Reproach

Posted on December 5, 2012 by SoSpression

1 Timothy 4
10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach , because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
11 These things command and teach .

Two things you do when you trust in the living God:
1. Labor – for a different reward than most men
2. Suffer Reproach – people that don’t understand heavenly rewards reproach you and think negatively about you

These are responsibilities for a Christian not only to do, but to command and teach.

No Shortcuts in Provoking the Jews to Jealousy and Righteousness in the Messiah

Posted on December 2, 2012 by SoSpression

No Shortcuts in Provoking the Jews to Jealousy and Righteousness in the Messiah

If we desire to pray for the peace if Jerusalem and lead the Jewish nation to the Messiah by example… One of the scriptures that shows exactly how they will turn is this:

Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

2 main things we need to walk in if we want the Jews to emulate us and move history forward:

Grace and Supplication – constant prayer with favor and power
Mourning and Bitterness – emotional repentance from the heart towards Jesus

So in order to move history forward, especially concerning the Jews, we need to model:

1. A spirit of graceful powerful, and consistent prayer full of favor
2. True repentance from the heart for every time we pierce the Messiah – yes even mourning and bitterness at times

(This is the part that the American church resists, so it is resisting it’s own destiny.)

But I thought bitterness was a sin? Well this concept is like 2 Corinthians 10… There is a sorrow of the world that leads to death, and a godly sorrow of repentance. There is an ungodly bitterness against people, and there is a bitterness against sin that brings real repentance. This is the bitterness that we need to model for the Jews.

Romans 11:11
I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy

Angus T. Jones: Two and a Half Men Star now says Compromise and Being a Friend of the World is Satan’s Deception

Posted on December 1, 2012 by SoSpression

Out of the mouths of babes…

“Compromise and meeting in between to get things done is the name of the game nowadays… but you end up standing for nothing…  ‘a little bit of leaven leaveneth the whole lump'”

You can often tell more about what the Holy Spirit is saying from the mouths of soft-hearted baby Christians than you can from professional churchgoers who have been hardening their heart for years… Selah

Part 1 tells the beginning of the story…
