LET THEM ALONE
Brother James, OIC
Mat 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
We are instructed over and over to let the loveless dead religious leaders alone. Yet many are yoked into the darkness of their doctrines by tradition without really taking time to search out if there is Truth and Fruit in what they are doing and teaching. Are you one of them?
What if through habit, comfort of routine, friendships, family, etc you have never allowed yourself the challenge of studying the New Testament in depth and allowing God to speak to you the magnitude of Trusting His Promises? The consequences could be devastating.
Many today teach short ear tickling encouragements to move you about content in darkness. But darkness will blind you if you don’t allow the Holy Spirit to begin ministering to you the deeper things of God:
Heb 5:12-14 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Staying in Immaturity in the Word of God is as bad as following false doctrine, leaving you susceptible to Satan’s evil total control of your future eternal judgment.
Isa 5:20-21 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
It requires knowledge to grow in the Liberty of Truth; not Greek: gnosis=intellectual knowledge but Greek: epignosis=the full and complete knowledge of God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ:
2Pe 1:2-6a Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge (epignosis) of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge (epignosis) of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge(epignosis); And to knowledge(epignosis) temperance; and to…
1Co 8:1 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge(gnosis) puffeth(makes one proud) up, but charity edifieth.
If you go back and reread 2Peter1:1-10 you will discover its only that epignosis that will deliver you to the mature fruit of Love placing the Divine Nature (the Spirit of Christ’s Anointing) within you. And it is only the epignosis that is the anointing within that will flow out of you like Rivers of Living Water.
With all this being true why do you yoke yourself to those who teach Jesus from intellect and not the Anointing?
Mat 10:24-25 The disciple is not above his master(teacher), nor the servant above his lord. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
Beelzeboul
beh-el-zeb-ool'
Of Chaldee origin; dung god; Beelzebul, a name of Satan: - Beelzebub.
If an intellectual teacher is a dung god then he is teaching you nothing but waste. And if you become infused with that waste, no matter how nice the teacher appears nor how many degrees he holds waste will eventually be discarded.
Come out from among them and touch not their uncleanness. Let the Light of Truth guide you and when they are still gossiping and evilly judging and robbing the poor God will miraculously be delivering you into His Vision for you all to His Glory.
