In Reply to: He who has ears... posted by Bryon on February 22, 2001 at 22:54:09:
: There are tons of things running around in the old noodle tonight and I should be sleeping, but, I feel like God wants me to share a thing or two with a few of you. "He who has ears, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches". Jesus uses the "he who has ears..." portion a lot. Got me thinking. What does that mean? I think one of the things it means is those of us who are born again and have the Spirit of God Almighty need to WAKE UP and stop sleeping, for the time is near. Be sure your lamps are ready and full of oil for the Bridegroom knocks!!! I long to know the Bridegroom of the Church. Can we not tarry one hour? We need to pray so that we WILL NOT FALL INTO TEMPTATION! You are loved with an everlasting love, and to hold you are everlasting arms. Church, it's time to wake and set ourselves apart from the sleeping and the dead. Christ is screaming his message of Love Everlasting into our dim ears and we are dull to his voice. WAKE UP! SLEEP NO MORE! There will come a day when all we have done here is come to pass and we will have to account for our lack. Christ is coming soon. Be ready. Is it all chaff? Don't you ever get tired of intellectualism? It's chaff. It will burn up with all the rest. Reality is, God is calling us to Love Him and Love His mankind. I'm not here to campaign, I am here because I love you all and I want to see a lot of Pure Gold when we all see Christ face to face. Everything outside of God is vanity. All of it. The job, the career goals, the MAMMON, EVERYTHING. What is blinding our eyes but ourselves? We have to stop placing blame, and take responsibility for our decisions. AS SOON as sin entered man, he was blaming. Well, it didn't help him then and it's not going to help us now, is it? It's a damn lie straight from Satan. Are we going to get it or what? How many excuses are we going to make? How much "sin is going to abound all the more"? Paul said that was a no-no. I am speaking to myself tonight, but I know someone can identify, right? Am I alone? Nope. Where are our priorities? Where is our treasure man? Ninety-three percent of americans say they beleive in "god", eighty-four percent say they are "christians". Bullshit. No way. I don't want that type of christianity. Satan has done a really "good" job at blinding the eyes of the masses, hasn't he? It pisses me off, badly. We put our prind in our abilities. What is that all about. God says that our RIGHTEOUSNESS is but filthy rags. What does that say about out mere abilities!! Absolute nothingness is what our abilities are. When are we going get it? My heart goes out to all of you and especially you who might be reading this and don't know Christ as personal LORD and Savior. Consider it, okay?
: Peace and Love in Christ to all of you.
Maybe the reason that some of us do not go to church anymore is because religious fanatics like you make us feel uncomfortable. In the bible it says to "remember my name and to remember the sabbath. No where does it say please be pussy and force your ideas on others. There are many different religions and many different interpretations of the bible out there. How do you know that yours is right? The only thing that I know is right is I read the bible and study the bible daily. I also read the bible to my children and instill in them a belief. People like you who are pushy are actually doing your churches a HUGE disservice by making new people feel uncomfortable worshipping there! Feel free to express your veiws but please do not try and force your ideas on others. Since they are just that ur ideas and ur opinions!!
