The Narrow Road will only get Narrower
As the narrow road is walked, the narrow road will get narrower and those who are on it will become fewer and fewer. We all must know we all have the ability to fall, get deceived, and corrupted. Judas Iscariot was an Apostle who walked with signs and wonders with casting demons out with the others. But at the end, he fell away. We must always walk in humility asking God to search our hearts.
Acts 1:24-25(AMP) 24And they prayed and said, You, Lord, Who know all hearts ([e]their thoughts, passions, desires, appetites, purposes, and endeavors), indicate to us which one of these two You have chosen 25 To take the place in this ministry and receive the position of an apostle, from which Judas fell away and went astray to go [where he belonged] to his own [proper] place.
There are so many baby Christians who speak as though they have authority or know complete Truth on a matter. They mostly speak from their flesh. Even I do not know everything. I speak as I am given revelation or wisdom. We must all learn to do this. We must all learn to be more still and quiet.
When certain circumstances occur, God allows it to show what is in the hearts of men. Of course, all sides think negative of the others. Observe and learn from what has occurred brethren. Ask Him to teach you and show you His Truth. We all can learn from our own handling.
Some have no anointing but attempt to teach. They teach out of their fleshy passion using big bold passionate words to stir up other people. They must stand down for they may be leading others astray. We must all be led by the Holy Spirit. Yes, it is a learning process. Yes, it is a growing process. But during the process, one must learn to crucify their flesh first and not put in their two cents when they have no business.
If one does not like what is being said or taught, do what Jesus did, retract from it. Speak when you are allowed to speak. Teach when you are allowed to teach. Rebuke when you are allowed to rebuke. Correct when you are allowed to correct. Judge when you are allowed to judge. If you speak and later you find out you are the one in error, there will be greater judgment. We must all be conscious of this fact. Too many speak without the Fear of the Lord.
It is amazing how some brethren say they love us yet they speak fighting words twisting our comments and sentences. I just had a brother tell me my teaching of Sabbath (Sundays) is an attempt to control the church. His true colors finally came out. I think it has to do with mostly jealousy. There is so much jealousy within the body.
Why would the foot get jealous if the hand receives a gift of gloves. Why would the hand get jealous over the foot getting a gift of new shoes? We are the body, we will function with different gifts.
1 Corinthians 5:12 (AMP) What [business] of mine is it and what right have I to judge outsiders? Is it not those inside [the church] upon whom you are to pass disciplinary judgment [passing censuring sentence on them as the facts require]?
James 3:1 (AMP)NOT MANY [of you] should become teachers ([a]self-constituted censors and reprovers of others), my brethren, for you know that we [teachers] will be judged by a higher standard and with greater severity [than other people; thus we assume the greater accountability and the more condemnation].
Every one of you out there must not solely depend on man. You must have your own relationship with God spending time in prayer and in the word asking Him to crucify that old man. There are too many who want others to do all the work for them. Those are the ones that will be easily led astray.
My wife and I are two lay believers who are to jump start some of you toward the Lord. We do not want anyone to depend on us too much. We are to point you to the Lord. We are to help get you back up. This is all we are really to do. We are here to speak Truth to you. The rest is up to you.
Ask the Holy Spirit to help you not get deceived. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you not get corrupted. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you so you do not fall away. Ask frequently. Because the minute you think you are good to go, you may on the way to falling.
1 Corinthians 10:12 (AMP) Therefore let anyone who thinks he stands [who feels sure that he has a steadfast mind and is standing firm], take heed lest he fall [into sin].
God Bless you all
