Being a true man of God and moving in obedience, has nothing to do with putting on a clergy suit, or street jacket reading Chaplain. Rather it has everything to do with moving in Christ, in total dependency to his leading, and not drawing attention to one’s self while doing ministry in his behalf.

These words I have written are cutting, as this is the gifting the Lord has given me in the form of a sword. Speaking the truths of God (or word of God) is just that; sharper than a two edged sword… Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart… This is a potentially a dangerous gift to be given, and will not make one popular amongst the world, and even less amongst the world Church structuring and its followers.

This is why it is written in Luke 14:26 Young’s Literal Translation
‘If any one doth come unto me, and doth not hate ( having a strong dis-preference for)
his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and yet even his own life, he is not able to be my disciple;

This means that if you have no desire to put aside everything that even remotely competes in one’s heart in following Jesus Christ your stuffed, and are moving down the broad road towards your own spiritual suicide!

Biblical doctrines or beliefs about Jesus, will not allow you to enter into the Kingdom of heaven, (which Jesus said was within you, when having been born again by the spirit). The human soul is the issue here foremost, not just the intellect or mind. This is why the scriptures always speak about the “sifting of men’s hearts”, and not one’s understanding. Intellectual understanding is fine concerning proper doctrines, yet more importantly we can only receive proper understanding when revealed to us by the Holy Spirit, by abiding in him, who is Christ within us.

Personally speaking, I was raised within a reformed Bible based Church structuring. And I must say, that theologically this type of instruction tracks very closely in sound Bible understanding, yet even its doctrines are not the truth of God; as God is spirit, and we must learn to move and function in him alone, not just a close counterpart in holding correct doctrines.
Also, I personally have discovered that although I was elect of God towards salvation, it is up to me to push into Christ daily within my life, (by the Spirit) and not become complacent in abiding in Christ, having replaced him with something of the world, which I love other than him. As then God would eventually give me over to that thing I love more than him, and I have then taken the broad road, which leads to my own spiritual destruction.

You see dear friends, if we start with Christ, we must finish with Christ! And although I have an understanding of Calvinism, and Armenian doctrines: that understanding will not affect my heart condition, in being a follower of Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit.
Even more dangerously, if I try to put “God in a box” by my own intellectual understanding, in forcing him into a theological filing system of sorts, I have then just killed the Holy Spirit by using the letter of the law in pride, not allowing God to be the master of my life, but rather me wanting to master him!
If a theologian feels that they must categorize such a heart condition towards the Lord, it would more closely resemble being called a “Calmenian”, yet even that formulation would be to force a spiritual understanding of my Lord, into an academic position, for those who may not even know him.

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.

The key to this verse is it is living and active (in spirit) many think it is only talking about texts on a page. If they think that, they are wrong and cannot know the Lord personally. In the past, I have been spoken to, by God on this very issue of being given this sword. Also, I once received a vision while in a church of this double edged sword piercing my soul, not once but twice, as a single cutting would have been too overpowering for my body to bare in power. These are spiritual things, and should not be shared with the natural man, nor cast before swine so they may turn and attack you. This is why I take a chance posting events like this on the net, or even sharing with “Church people who claim his name, yet do not walk with him, nor even know him! The Bible is not written to such individuals to comb through by intellect alone. Rather only the basic message of the Gospel should be shared outside a fellowship of true believers. Why? Primarily it is because Satan will twist the truths of God found only by abiding in Christ, to another Gospel using deceiving spirits.

Matthew 28:18-20
King James Version (KJV)
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

These verses are all too often taught to those who have no business in referencing them. “Within Christendom “, or man orchestrated institutions, which have not been called of God, to send anyone into the world, in representing Jesus Christ, and his gospel.

To act independent of the leading of God is also to act in sin. Institutionalized churches, have chosen to overlook the fact that it is only God who calls and chooses whom he wills, to do his work. In essence, these institutions have removed God from the equation, (and his throne) acting in rebellion, and not in dependence upon him.

In these verses, Jesus is speaking to the original 11 disciples, they are receiving their “personal commissionings”. The verses do not apply, to those whom he has not sent. Namely, Christendom or man orchestrated churches in general.

If a man is called by the Lord into ministry, he will be empowered, equipped, and sent of God to perform such a task, and no amount of human medaling can “teach those” whom are not empowered, or called of God, to move in the power of the Holy Spirit. A true disciple of Jesus Christ must be able to listen (hear) the Lord, move and speak, as only given to do, by his heavenly father. This faith walk is in total accordance with the scriptures, and sound doctrine. A disciple will move in obedience to his will, and not independently of his leading.

I’m sorry if this post is distasteful to some but it is the truth, when reading this passage in context as a whole; and allows the Lord God to remain in control of his gospel, not just religious men acting in religious zeal.
