Re: Have conservatives lost their fear of God?

Several years ago, a relative and I attended a church I had been to many
times in the past. However I had not been there for a few years.

We walked in, seated ourselves, having arrived a bit early. An aquaintance of mine
who attended there came in with their spouse and upon seeing us sitting there came and greeted us, leaned over and told us, "You might want to sit over here. This is where the ultra-_____ sit! This was my introduction to the beginning of a spirit that has taken over many churches since. I believe it is a spirit of division and a house divided against itself cannot stand! A family in a home where parents are divided and the children are confused are left to the wiles of the enemy!

When the enemy comes in like a flood, there must be a "standard" raised up
against it! That Standand must be the Spirit of the LORD! God will use those
He chooses to move through to raise up that Standard, but it must be the
Spirit of the Living God in operation!
No flesh will glory in His sight!

No doubt this spirit of division has "tried" to take over every home and every
house of God! Homes make up families and families make up the churches.

Have the people of God lost their fear of GOD! The fear of the LORD is the
beginning of wisdom, knowledge and understanding. The fear of man bringeth
a snare, a trap.

May God help us all, in Jesus Name!

Blessings,

Falla39

Sis. Falla, Absolutely. I think where we err is when the 'standard' we raise up is about clothing and not about:

The Standard talked about in the Bible is about who's banner we fight/go to war under. That "STANDARD" is Jehoveh Nissi...and the train of his victories fills the temple.

I agree that a house divided against itself cannot stand. We are coming to the end of the age, and instead of tearing each other down we must entertwine ourselves together like a three corded rope. Most of the people on this forum, I love and respect no matter what title they use or is used by others to describe them.

There is much diversity in the children of God. We need to embrace the things we agree on. It would appear that I am liberal, but if the truth be known...I am so conservative in doctrine that I would shock some.

Acts 2:38. Mark 16:16, and John 3: 3, 5 is what I believe in.

Blessings, Rhoni

Sis. Rhoni,

I understand what you are saying.

But what I saw was a "divide and conquor" spirit that was bringing division
to homes and churches. And it has only intensified since then. I am speaking
of a "spirit" and it is not the "Holy Spirit". When the enemy came in like a
flood, many did not recognize or "discern" of what spirit it was. It did not
manifest itself in its fulness at first. It began to steal the blessings of the
Lord right from underneath those who would not believe it. No one could tell
them anything. They would have to learn the hard way. The way of the
transgressor is hard. Just as children who will not listen to their godly elders.
Parents, grandparents, and spiritual fathers. I have seen then, wishing that
they could go back, back to when their lives were intact, not divided and
scattered. If many could have seen the end results and wages of following
after that "spirit", they would have run so fast.

We must ALL humble ourselves under the Mighty Hand of God and He will
lift us up and restore that which the cankerworms, etc., and all the other
worms, and all the other destroyers have devoured or attempted to devour.

Sis. Rhoni, you know I love you and the words written are not to offend
at all. There are not personally addressed to you.

It just makes me so angry at the enemy and his attempted destruction of
God's heritage. There will come an end to it and God will rise up and take
over His Planet. The earth is the LORD's and the fulness thereof. God did
allow satan to put his hands on Job just long enough to make him look like
the "spirit" he was. A destroying spirit. Then God showed satan just how
much Job loved Him, even after all he went through. His testings.
Look at Saul, after he was knocked off his high horse, received a new name
and was one of the greatest men of God and wrote most of the NT letters.

Love and Blessings to all,

Falla39

Sis. Falla,

There is no way you could offend me, besides...I totally agree with you. You are filled with the word, live the word, and have the fruits of the Spirit in operation in your life.

Love & Blessings, Rhoni

P.S. I never mind someone using the scripture to set me straight! It is only those bad spirits that I want to...
