PERSONAL DOCTRINES
Greetings in the name of Jesus:
I ended last week's discussions with a writing on worship, and in that I mentioned the many different doctrines and philosophies that men have created to worship God. The fact is that for many of us we worship the styles that we have created more than we actually worship God. Throughout the years the Holy Spirit has given me many insights about worship styles and existing doctrines that we as men and women have created. I personally think that we have been deceived by the enemy once again as we try to control the work of the Holy Spirit within us by dictating what is a proper form of worship. I want to share with you this week some of what the Holy Spirit has taught me about personal doctrines within the church. I want to start with some thoughts in a series of writings that God taught me called "BY THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT"
"To our God and father who has created all things that by faith we would become whole in his sight I give both praise and glory amen: we have long suffered from the deceit of Satan in our lives. We have suffered to the point that we have given up on becoming who we were meant to be by the power of God's Spirit. This is due to the fact that we have not been taught from the Holy Spirit, but by men and women. It is our human nature to try to control the power that flows through us, but it is the Holy Spirit alone who can understand the truth behind what is taught from God's heart. It is because of our condition in the flesh that we cannot know what is be on the our physical death in this world, but God through his Spirit does know and can reveal to us the truths that have long evaded us because of man-made doctrines and political maneuvers from the denominations we have created. The whole purpose for our being sent to live out this life here is to learn God's ways alone, but we must first learn from some very uncomfortable and on Orthodox ways to us. Some of these lessons come from things being taken out of our control, and did not all lessons from God are learned through Scripture. Some are given to us through the hard knocks of life, and some are given because we will not listen to God speaking to us in our hearts.
Our agenda and the father's agenda are not the same for we tend to see God out of need, and sometimes out of greed for what he has to give us. God seeks us out of the love he has in his heart for his creation. He has compassion on us when we are unworthy of compassion, and he has a need for our success in learning these life lessons in a way that our father would have the need to see his children be successful in learning what is needed in order to live. God has sent us all here for the purpose of growth and experience so that we may be able to comprehend what it is he has for us if we want to be his children. We are all I believe created to be his children, but just as the Angels who chose to fight against him with Satan, we too can lose our position in his family by our continued denial of his love. I believe the father leaves no stone unturned, and no possible chance of mistake made when it comes to our decision about our love for God. I have personal doctrines that I cannot teach because I cannot prove them to be true. We each one must realize that it is many times our personal doctrines that separate us from God more so then anything in this world. We must also realize that God does not care about our personal points of view about what he has already done. He only cares about our loyalty to his family. He only worries about our love and commitment to him as our father because that directly dictates his level of commitment toward us. God allows the good and the bad to grow together for a purpose. That purpose is free choice and free will which he has given to us as a gift so that we might love him more perfectly than we ever could without it. It also is that self same free will and choice that can damn us to the same fate as the Angels that followed Satan.
I have found that God does not play mind games as does the enemy for God is pure and without blemish. He is spotless and whole, he is worthy of our praise and worship even without his gift of life given to us. We are challenged to learn in this world only three things, but we must learn them well.
1. We must gain all we can in wisdom and experience
2. We are to learn how to love God
3. We are to learn how to love others as we love ourselves
there are no rules to learning in this world and that is the thing which bothers the believers the most. When Christ was in the world he spent his time not with those who were believers and followers inside of the synagogue, but rather he spent his time with those who needed the healing the most, and who ssociety shunned the most. Why? Because that is where he was needed the most! The Holy Spirit has been sent in order that we might learn to love as Christ loved. That love is so powerful as to move mountains and other objects even more unmovable; like the hearts of men and women who were convinced that God does not exist. Our lessons are taught to us by the experiences that we have in our lives. I can't think of a time when I had an experience teaching in my life that I didn't walk away always remembering at. I can remember thousands of times when I have read things or heard them secondhand that I forgot about them and made the mistake anyway. My point is really simple, we need to experience what we learn, and I don't know if we can do that in one lifetime or maybe two or three lifetimes. God is not limited as we are to a set of rules. He does not run out of time to teach us and I must then wonder when do we run out of time to learn? The important thing in all of this is are we learning what he is teaching us, or are we learning what Satan is teaching us? Will we cleaning 21 and despise the other for we cannot serve two masters? Who then will be our teacher? For no matter who we are or how long we have to learn the outcome will always be the same. Will we be among God's children or will he not be able to recognize us?" I still don't have the answers to all of the questions that come up in my mind after rereading what God had said to me. If you have questions then please contact me. May you richly bless God through your life in the him.
