What is Christian Training?

What is Christian training? Is it going to theology school or taking classes for a certificate? Although schooling and education is a good thing, by itself will bear no power nor fruit. By itself will only produce humanism, human wisdom, and emotions to rally up a crowd. The Word must be preached and witnessed by the demonstration of the Spirit and Power of the Holy Spirit. How do we obtain the Spirit and Power of the Holy Spirit as we preach and witness to our families and neighbors? Therefore, I ask the question again, what is Christian training?

What were Jesus' last words before HE left to heaven? They had asked HIM when was HIS coming. This is the same today. Many continue to look at the news for signs of HIS coming when HE said many years ago not to worry about it for that is Father's business and time. Jesus said to stay in Jerusalem and to pray and wait for the Holy Spirit.

Jerusalem was the physical location of the temple of God. Where is the temple of God now. The temple of God is now suppose to be in HIS Church or people. We are the temple of God and therefore we are spiritual Jerusalem. Jesus meant to work on your own hearts first. Your heart is Jerusalem. Your hearts are the soil in which God's seed needs to be planted and grow. But the question remains, what type of soil condition are you?

Pray to have your hearts cleanse. Many today are preaching and witnessing from their position of their wounded hearts. Many have hurt, resentment, anger, bitterness, rejection, worries, abuse, fear, disobedience, and etc in their hearts. Many pastors have such things in their hearts. Many married couples have such things in their hearts. Many parents have such things in their hearts. Therefore, many people continue to hurt each other because of their own wounded hearts. Because pastors have hurt, when they try to minister to hurt people, they end up fighting the sheep. Then the pastors will be judged. Because husbands and wives have hurt, they end up hurting each other. Because parents have hurt, they hurt their children. How can a hurt person minister to another hurt person? How can a person who has never been healed of abuse or rejection minister to others who have been abused or rejected. The sick are trying to heal the sick and therefore the fruit is bad. This is why there is so much bad fruit in the body of Christ. Many trying to teach each other on the internet and on their own when they themselves are blind. The blind is leading the blind.

Before anyone can witness, teach, or preach, one must look at their own hearts and pray for cleansing and healing by the Holy Spirit. Once we are healed and have died to ourselves by putting those hurt, bitterness, rejection, and other things on the cross, then we are not only healed but we are trained to now witness and preach from the position of HIS LOVE. For it will be HIS LOVE that heals us and makes us into new creations. But sadly, many are attempting to be Christians from their carnal positions. Many have suffered years of hurt. Your inner healing will not come overnight. It may take years to heal as you spend the time with God and learn to receive Father's Love. Then as you draw closer to God through prayer, reading, obedience, and worship, HIS GLORY will heal your hearts.  The power we must demonstrate as we preach and witness is HIS LOVE, Kindness, Peace, Joy, and Patience. 

Only then can you be HIS Witnesses unto Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and then to the nations. God is a God of order and you must discern HIS Order to find HIS Rest.
