There Has Been A Change

Which has me somewhat puzzeled, if not perplexed. I wonder if love has failed us? Maybe we have left our first love which, indeed would account for some of our loss of direction, increased worldliness and some of this weird chanting music in our midst. How desperately we need to be broken, put back on the potters wheel and made over again. Hardness of heart that comes from the lack of rebuke has molded us in our own image.

I went to the temple to see our God. Lo! The image set up in the house of God was the idol of SELF!

By the way, MB is in his 40's and has been in the ministry for me over 20 years. do you call that a novice? I sure hope we don't have to be 67 to be mature enough to be used of God. Bro., I am going to church and don't know when I will be back on line, but you are dead wrong about your statements about MB. That's my story and I am sticking to it.

We are not matured in office or gift by chronology. We are matured by love by which all offices and gifts are operated. Self and egotism has no place...no room...no account in divine practices. Jeff had it right last night. We need a renewing of the mind. I might even suggest we might first need to GET THE MIND of Christ before it can even be renewed.

But, stick to your story. My objection was not so much of the symptom but of the cause. The law of cause and effect is alive in the spirit world too. The symptoms are the result of the causes. I only saw the symptoms manifested in the spiritual environment Wed. night. It gave rise to my concerns in regard to the cause. Where are we? Have we lost our way? Will the message by Jeff take root and have affect? At least I was encouraged last night. I wonder how long my encouragement will last.

Every movement that began in the Holy Ghost has lost its way throughout history. Will our modern day Apostolic movement defy history? Is my alarm unjustified? Where are the true Prophets that will bring the rebuke and correction with all long suffering and doctrine, by Office...speaking mouth-to-mouth? When I see prophets, though truly prophets, speak peace when there is NO peace, safety where there is NO safety, properity when there is plague and death, I know that Prophet, though a Prophet of the Lord speaks by a lie, the spirit of error. That Prophet has been seduced by a wicked spirit. This often happens when political considerations are involved, love of self is involved, or any other concern of worldly, material considerations are involved.

I have probably talked about this enough. I see that I have confused more people here than I would have wanted to, judging by their questions.
