Let's get to the nitty gritty, Church.
A candy coated preaching style from behind the pulpit, will never point out your iniquities. Cleansing from your sinful actions begins by hearing the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth from Genesis to Revelation. A perfect balance is in order for you to break any demonic bondage, and to obtain freedom. Are you only hearing words of prosperity, or only words that condemn you from the preacher behind the pulpit? Or are you possibly hearing a perfectly orchestration of God’s living word? The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, include feelings of excitement, as well as a bit of squirming, in the pew from the message being preached upon from behind the pulpit as the cleansing process continues in order to build upon your personal relationship with Jesus.
A balanced platform at your place of worship will preach on the subject of God’s unconditional love for His children, as well as speaking in a manner that will convict you of your sinful actions! Would you rather hear a well balanced preaching style on all scripture, or a candy coated gospel? “Morality or immorality” that is the question. But how do you know the answer if you don’t hear the entire Holy Bible? We need to hear about the amazing grace God bestows upon all humankind, free for the asking. As well as messages about our disobedience to the word of God, bringing these sins to your attention. If all these issues aren’t pondered upon and rectified it will be impossible to fulfill your destiny that God has in store for you as a follower of His Son.
2 Timothy 3:16, "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness." Be on the lookout for deception, because they are in front of you everywhere you look. Yesterday’s immorality has become today’s morality. Have you received the truth,, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth from the pulpit at the church you attend? The word of God has never changed and never will. The way the message is delivered may change because of the circumstances but the core of the infallible message of the living word of God will never change. The entirety of the word of God must be preached in the context that proves that scripture interprets scripture. Cross referencing each other to verify the truth of the word of God.
Revelation 22:19 warns, "and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book." Are the words you are hearing from the pulpit only pleasant, and pleasing? Without any real conviction? If so you may want to consider exploring additional avenues of biblical studies. Is the preacher behind the pulpit teaching conviction of sin? This is to convince of sin, to prove or determine to be guilty, as by the conscience, and through the spirit of God. If you aren’t hearing anything that is convicting you in anyway of your sinful actions where you attend church services the entire gospel isn’t being preached. You need to feel a sense of conviction in order to ask God for forgiveness and begin the cleansing, and healing process through confession, and repentance.
Freedom in Jesus isn’t free. Conviction of sins leads to confessing your sins and repentance. Leading to forgiveness of your sins. Forgiveness from God for your sins leads to freedom in Christ Jesus.
Until He Comes,
