Woke this morning with a window of understanding seeing
these men and woman and how God has drawn them to Himself. They don’t understand
it yet but their day is coming. How offensive to our natural man to think many
of these people are closer to getting it (true spirit life) than many inside religion. As until we
understand the uselessness of the natural man we can never live the Spirit.
We all just need koinonia guides to reveal ourselves to
ourselves. The separation of the Holy and profane is not an action it is an
origin. Hard to grasp for many that their righteous acts are abhorrent to God
and until we give up we can’t see life. Our natural man is useless always will
be, just depends how well we want to hide this fact in religion and meaningless
natural attempts to please God.
The narcissistic natural core of a man hides his motives
well. But we can always track the animal but his footprints of frustration and
failure. Just how many of us have an inner frustration as to why our religious
actions and work has not had amazing results.
Many ministers have been caught out in all sorts of crazy
stuff and maybe now they can get a glimpse of the narcissist and allow the
revealing of life.
So this morning I was awoke with a realization of the precious position of what we have seen as fallen pastors. Many of these men and woman have been condemned by the system of churchianity and discarded as having missed it or not had the strength to overcome a sin of some type. Sleeping giants, separated for intimacy, rejected by self and others. Closer to truth than understood but lost in self.
It is to these men God speaks. A sleeping army of potential giants. Not to come back to where they were, not to start churches again. You understand the inconsistencies and hypocrisy of churchianity. You understand or have struggled to understand why your sin was worse than anyone else's. You struggled to grasp why there is no forgiveness from men and above probably all, have wondered why you have entered a wilderness and may even have blamed or be blaming God. Asking why if God is a God of forgiveness cant you get back on your ministry feet. Maybe you are so full of hate you don't want anything to do with God or church or Christian people. The fact you are reading this surprises even yourself as maybe you live a homosexual or adulterous lifestyle.
Today I would like to submit a new line line of revelation to your spirit.
Could it be you are closer to God than many inside the religious systems? It is not that He approves your actions but is revealing the core of what religion was in you. A core of self righteousness that offended God and does not please Him as many think. In actuality you have had a valuable step in your intimacy revealed to your life. Granted the ability to understand that has been buried in self righteousness actions of sin, but read on.
It is not that God approves of what we have called sinful actions but you have the ability to understand what the Apostle Paul talks about when he said nothing good exists in the heart of man. We are fooling ourselves if we think we can live good enough to be used of God. Fooling ourselves if and when we think our righteous actions are in anyway of use to God. Nothing good exists in a natural man to Gods eyes and unless we live from a Sspirit* default all we have created is a sinful lifestyle of humanism, even inside church. That may be singing worship songs and preaching Gods word but unless from a Spirit default it is self righteous and profane. Thinking they please God they serve themselves, you have been spat out of this and saved from such for a purpose. Saved from yourself and the success you craved so deeply. Should that craving itself not reveal the natural core it was birthed in?
Perhaps one of the first lessons we do well to grasp is the fact nothing good exists in us even when we think God has made us some righteous minister of His word. Before we can maintain spirit life the revelation must come that in and of ourselves we are consumed in self righteous sin. We are damned if we do and damned if we don't.
Nothing good exists in the natural man. Even to a holy roller buried in church life. They may think they have attained some higher righteous lifestyle and in so thinking cannot grasp there is nothing good the bible says in their natural man. Such a person can be proud of the fact they have beaten a sin and totally miss the fact they have empowered their self righteousness and potentially are further from spirit life than they can imagine. Maybe even further from Spirit life than when they were sinning. As now all that is reinforced is pious righteousness.
Living from Gods righteousness and understanding God removed sin in every way is liberating. Even when we sin if we live inside Gods righteousness then the sin is nothing. We only give the sin power when we allow it to reign in our mortal default or body. We obey its lusts usually because of a self righteous desire that reveals we have not or are not living in the spirit lifestyle default.
Remember in previous writings we discovered what the Apostle Paul wrote about sin coming from the law and how the law empowers sin. But he helps us understand the law is fulfilled in Christ and in so doing the old testament law of the bible has no power anymore. The power the law and sin had to condemn was completed in Christ. Christ took away the very existence of sin to a person who is in Christ. Why? because mankind hides their self righteousness behind their sin. When sin is removed in Christ all that is left is the self righteous core of a person who must now submit that self righteousness to the life of the Holy Spirit.
That will mean the person screws up but the person will not settle for living in raw carnality as they understand grace is not a license to sin. Rather an understanding is revealed that when I sin it is revealing in me that I have become self righteous in my default. The apostle Paul says to Timothy test yourself to see if you are in the faith. I can see Paul is meaning which default are you living from?
If we are good enough as men to live sin free or to what we have established as a sin free standard. Then truly all we have proved is how far we are from a spirit default.
Maybe you are selling used cars or insurance. Spat out by religious life, spat out by friends and family inside church. Welcome to your revealing, stop trying to figure it out and understand maybe now you get it. God saved you from massive success in the eyes of churchianity for if indeed you were buried so deep in churchianity you would be serving a self righteous master of self. Thinking you were pleasing God by your righteousness, the very thing He abhors.
The question now is, can you surrender your righteousness and let Sspirit life be revealed in you. God is calling!
You are closer to the truth than those making all the noise. Just be still and know that I am God.
*Sspirit - His Spirit co-joined within our spirit
