Now, I have often spoke on this particular passage of the
Bible : Philippians 2:12 Therefore, my
dear friends, as you have always obeyed--not only in my presence, but now much
more in my absence--continue to work out your salvation with fear and
trembling,
Now keep in mind that the work has already been done by the
sacrifice of Christ – this passage talks about personal righteousness. Keyword, personal…working on your own faith walk and how you represent what you say you
believe…..which brings me to my point; I
have watched and listened to an individual bend the Scripture as well as the
truth over a number of years and it just makes me ill to watch and hear. This
person is one of those people that will convince folks that they didn’t do
something although there is evidence all over. “There aren’t the drones you’re
looking for” Jedi mind trick type person.
I can’t tell you how many times I have heard this person say
“the Lord told me” but I watched them do something contrary to what they just
said. So the Lord told you to seek something but you don’t do it because thus
and so……where’s the faith that you just got finished hyping? Now we’re on I have a “prophetic word “ where
is the substance of the word? Where is the manifestation of the word? What was
the plan of action in that word? If it was just for you why are you speaking on
it?
Please stop the ride I want to get off….I’m not on the
magical mystery tour. The faith without works train needs to stop. The works
without faith, empty altruistic tour needs to stop selling tickets….let’s call
it what it is. I’m insecure and I need my ego stroked; my life is a wreck and I
need to feel like I’m better than you so I pretend to have some deep secret to
save your life. I do believe that they used to run snake oil salesmen out of
town a while back …..
Preach if you were called to preach….but what I do know that
God is not going to call you and then keep you in your stuff because he can/will
help you ….work out your salvation…. Which often requires you to take a
position of humility….not announce your humility but to actually be humble….
Sometimes we just have to go back to Isaiah 6: 6-7 and
really let it resonate and reverberate within us
