LIBERTY IN CHRIST
By The Scriptures
Is liberty all but lost? Are some main-line churches becoming cults? A cult is where someone controls who may speak, what they may say and not say; all information is filtered. In the first letter to the Corinthians chapter fourteen, it is written...First Corinthians, 14:26, “Then how is it, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be for building up.”In many places we have heard excuse after excuse as to why this Word cannot be followed. This is from the same chapter...First Corinthians, 14:37, “If any man thinks himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him take knowledge of the things which I write unto you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.”Anyone that makes an excuse to not obey the liberty, is an imposter, a minister of Satan! Do all speak? No! The Spirit and Word of God are not confusion! If a body submits to the Spirit and Word of God; the reward is not a body of confusion! You have faith in God; have faith in His Word also. Children of the living God beware of them that throw the Word to the ground! They do so to advance their own agenda: Keep control over you!Liberty of speech does not mean that first another OK’s what someone says. That is a religious cult! Why would so many be against the command concerning liberty of speech? The light might set some free! Satan has a false spirit for everything. But where the Spirit of Christ is; there is true liberty. If a man does speak in ignorance; would not those that have studied the Word, know it? And by grace of God help the man! Then all would learn!One might say, ‘We should not speak unless they are ready to hear.’ Children of God; Jesus, the apostles, and the prophets, were killed by them that were not ready to hear! Do not be deceived into calling good evil, and evil good! Children of God tell the truth, and be instant, whether it is convenient for you or not!Truly, perilous times have come. In Matthew chapter eighteen, it is written: “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there I am in their midst.” What does this mean? It means more than saying His Name! In Revelation chapter nineteen, it is written...Revelation, 19:13, “And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: And His Name is called The Word of God.”Many believe they are gathered in His Name (Word). However; what has happened? Many are gathered in His Word, mixed with all kinds of word, that is not His Word! And block out much of what His Name (Word) is. In this way the many are held in bondage without even knowing it. Jesus said this would happen!In Matthew chapter twenty-four, Jesus said, “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” Many believe that it would be easy to uncover the impostors. Because they will say that they are Jesus Christ. But notice that Jesus says they will come in his name. The word Christ means; anointed. What we have then, are many saying that they come in the Name of Jesus, and say that they are anointed to teach, to prophecy, to heal; to name a few.After Jesus was crucified for us, God said that He dwells in a house not made by hands. Friend, that house is you, if you let Him. Even though the many do teach this; at the same time they make the truth of it void.Convincing the many that they need so much more than what Jesus said has become a multibillion dollar industry. So, Jesus would teach us; foolish virgins buy their oil from them that sell. He has already paid for you to have the truth through the Holy Spirit. But the wormwood will cost you money, and much more: It could cost your soul! How well do you know the Word of God? And His Name is called the Word of God!Peace In Christ;
