Re: Is this a Powerful Message or a Religious Message?
I want people to follow Jesus. I believe God has some good churches out their with good pastors. These places are a true blessing to the body of Christ.
I believe God has called some people out of church because they are sitting under deception, control and abuse. They cannot do His will in these places. Some may be so spiritually weak that they will not be able to grow and may even succumb to the deception. Some may be asked to leave even if they are a strong Christian because He has something else for them to do. There may be others sitting in this same mixed up church that He wants to stay because He knows they are strong enough in Him to act as a missionary to many in that church to help save the people and the church.
I want people to listen to the voice of God and do what He leads them to do. God has a different plan for each person in this church going stuff. God is not calling all people out of all churches. I am not trying to get everybody to leave their church, but plenty of people are trying to get people who have been called out back in church. They cannot see that God is doing something else with them.
I dream of getting back in church some day, but I want to go to a place where I am not ashamed to say that is my church because I know the message is off. It's surprising how the unsaved even recognize this. I've been through this. I may go back as a missionary to them since their doesn't seem to be much in my area with pure doctrine, but it will need to be when God feels I am ready. He will lead me when and if the time comes.
Yes, it is true you do not know my heart in the matter. I'm all about hearing the voice of God and doing His will.
