“For those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.” Romans 8:14
God woke me up a few nights ago to speak to me about this subject. I have attempted to share His thoughts as accurately as possible in this message. God also reiterated the importance of taking Him seriously.
Christianity has secularized the gospel to define the terms of a believer. They have stratified society by a series of laws and regulations to define a believer from a non believer. You must conform to these laws or you are ostracized from belonging to their religious sect.
There is a sense of privilege or elite standing with God. The reality of a believer is you die to self and live for God. You esteem others above yourself.
The Holy Spirit is virtually lost or greatly minimized in Christianity. The Spirit is your lifeline to God and essential to walking with Jesus.
Christianity looks good on the outside but is riddled by deceit and corruption on the inside.
The practice of “two timing” God is widespread in the Body of Christ. Believers date God on Sundays and then date the gods/idols of the world during the week. They practice a life of hypocrisy and make a mockery of almighty God.
There is a stubborn refusal to come under the authority of God. The comfort in Christianity is living by laws and works. This won’t disrupt your life like interacting with the reality of the Living Christ.
The criteria for a disciple of Christ is one who walks with God and is led by the Spirit. The priority of a disciple is knowing Christ Jesus and living for Him.
The disciple lives in oneness with Jesus through the Holy Spirit. He lives by faith trusting in the promises of God. He is justified to God by faith and is free from religion and laws.
The Spirit brings freedom and the life of God!
