SCRIPTURAL MESSAGING

For Balance Sake lets say there are 3 types of messages in the Scriptures:

Encouragement
Warnings
Wisdom

Encouragement is fun to hear, it makes you feel good. It’s good news. Its positive and uplifting and gives you the hope that you need to keep going.

Warnings are not fun to hear. They make you feel restricted. However warnings protect you from the error and lies that could kill you.

Wisdom is 50/50 to the hearer. It depends on your current goals & mindset whether you are open to wisdom and instruction or not.

Wisdom, Knowledge and Instruction will help you attain your goals and complete your purpose, but if you aren’t focused on being effective in your purpose, you won’t care as much.

One thing that DOESN’T fit with the Scriptures: ERROR & LIES.

RESPONSES

How do People Respond to Each Message?

Encouragement: Everyone loves it. Its positive and uplifting.

Warnings get the most opposition: “that’s judgemental” “that’s bad news” “you’re so negative” “nobody wants to hear that” “you must be a hypocrite, because its impossible to obey that Scripture”

Wisdom: 50/50. “That’s not essential to the gospel, I just want good news” “That’s too deep, too boring” “I’m not ready for that” OR “Yes that’s what I’m looking for” “That makes sense” “That’s what I need right now”

BALANCE

We all should be balanced ministers of the Word.

However let’s be honest:

Some of us are more gifted at Encouragement.

Some of us have been created to give more Warnings.

Some of us are designed for more Wisdom & Instruction.

Mature ministers of the Word will give and support (via teamwork) a timing-appropriate balance of all 3 Messages, regardless of their particular specialty.

Why? Because in order for a soul to be mature in the Gospel: they will need a balance of ALL THREE: Encouragement, Warnings, AND Wisdom.

The Immature and the Hypocrital will despise and be suspicious of the gift they don’t specialize in – instead of realizing that we all need each other to defeat ERROR and LIES, glorify GOD, and bear GOOD FRUIT THAT REMAINS.

Why? Because if you were a true preacher and disciple maker, you would know that a full complete message of Encouragement, Warnings, and Wisdom is needed to bring anyone into maturity and enduring salvation.

ALL OF GOD IS GOOD

I Love the Power in His Name.
I Love the Mercy in His Love.
I Love the Wisdom in His Commandments.
I LOVE ALL OF YAH💪🏾❤📖
