So much has been cast into the debate on the relationship with God
versus religion! All of what the religious people talk about this subject are
actually all part of the TRUTH _ THE UNIVERSAL TRUTH which comes alone from the
Spirit of Truth and Revelation, the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding and from
the Spirit of Knowledge and of the Fear of the Lord, among others.
While most of the comments
we hear today about this subject are quite true: the incorrect and faulty understanding about
religion is devilish! To say that God hates religion makes you a man of
religion yourself. You should know the scriptures full well that it mentioned
of pure and undefiled religion before God!
James 1:27 Pure
religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the
fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from
the world.
How can people dare
discount religion and put the relationship with God as a stand alone? All of
the things written in the scriptures must be understood or man will fall into
the saying, ye do err not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God. Don’t you know that God has a relationship
with the Devil? God is in a talking terms with Satan. In fact the devils also believe and tremble! Relationship
with God has to be specifically defined for it to be a safe relation for God
has also created the wicked for the day of evil! Evil is not without
significance in relation to the plan of God in creation. All continue this this day according to his
ordinances for all are His servants. The
faithfulness of God is unto all generations to include the generation of
vipers: he loves the unthankful and the evil!
The Wicked Is Reserved Unto Wrath And For The
Day Of Evil
Job 21:30
That
the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth
to the day of wrath.
Luke 6:35 But love
ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your
reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is
kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
God Loves Everyone In The View Point Of
Creation: All Is Good
Psalms 119: 90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established
the earth, and it abideth.
Psalms 119:91 They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are
thy servants.
Relationship with God has to be well defined! Afterall, one might
find himself to be an evil servant of God purposely to purify the holy ones as
we see this in the life of Job. Satan was used to purify Job.
Having said that, the
Fear of the Lord and Guilt is the natural effect of the Spirit of Judgment of
God which is, by the way, very much a Holy Spirit of God (the Spirit of
Judgment and Burning). The Fear to commit sin or to disobey God is the Spirit
of the Fear of the Lord and Guilt is the element that should lead man to repentance and turn him back to God for him to be reconciled consequently building back
the relationship with God.
Man must know how the Holy spirit of God works in a man before you
talk of religion or whatever relationship with God thing: for the Spirit is
against the flesh and the flesh is against the spirit (flesh being the lust,
the pride of life, the lust of the eyes, sensitivity and being appetitive). The
doctrine in the Spirit which is Godliness teaches no profit in the flesh
(material things) so that any teaching which deals on the peace, and joy, and
love which is not actually the Fruit of the Spirit of God but of man’s own
spirit is not even the true thing. Man can become just like the Hindus and the
Buddhists who themselves nurture their own spirits in order to have peace and
joy but not by the Spirit of God.
Know that Man has his
own spirit and own freewill and God has His Will and His Spirit which dwells
only in a clean vessel which is a vessel for honor and not for dishonor.
If freedom from fear
and guilt is a work of God then it must be rooted in the cleanness of the heart,
perfection, and holiness and not for any other else. Man has to have the Spirit
of God which is manifested by the Fruits of it and the Gifts of it. If you can
weigh the path, the spirit and the actions then you are not very far away from
the Truth. I mean if a man has the discerning spirit to be able to try every spirit
whether they are of God that man has a lesser chance of being the Antichrist himself. Surely, he who has an evil or
profane spirit inside him is definitely bound to fight against God the Spirit.
The problem with the discourse
on God hates religion, is that its object is still on man and not on God in serving Him which is the very reason
why man needs to be holy and perfect as commanded be ye holy and be ye perfect.
Anyone who is not perfect cannot serve God.
Where is now the gospel on the cross? Where is now the suffering
in well-doing? Where is now the Fear of the Lord? How can a man be perfected without the Fear
of the Lord? Remember, Jesus was made perfect in sufferings and in another
place of the scriptures it says holiness is made perfect in the fear of the
Lord.
Anyone who claims to be in relationship with Jesus who will find perfection and
holiness to be an impossible stuff is making God weak and powerless so that He
cannot make a man perfect and holy. Definitely these are the ones denying the
power of God but having a form of Godliness.
Are you yet holy? Are you yet perfect? Before you talk of little things
talk of the big ticket items of God which is the Spirit for anyone in the flesh
can never please God. Be ye filled with the Spirit.
1 John
5:6 This
is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but
by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because
the Spirit is truth.
If your concerns are
still in the flesh or in your ownselves like to have comfort or to have the feeling of being
comforted like having riches and fame and power check whether you are in TRUE RELATIONSHIP
with God for the Kingdom of God is not in meats and drinks.
The Fear of the Lord and Guilt is never evil when it leads to repentance and holiness. Inversely, freedom or liberty in Christ when used as a cloak of maliciousness is evil! Pray and seek the Spirit of Counsel and Might of God. Be very wary for many are trying to minister the Word but are never the ministers of the Spirit. The true Man of God is both a minister of the Word of God and a minister of the Spirit of God. He has the power and the authority, so to speak. Amen
