I listened to two leaders of full gospel church, one more obnoxious than the other, flaunting their knowledge of how God desires to share an intimate loving relationship with His children. As they were boasting about how God would accomplish this, they snapped their best selling books on the screen and informed their listeners that they would lead the way. They insisted that it would be their doctrines, interpretations and teachings that would lead God’s children into a loving intimate relationship with our Heavenly Father. In any natural family, what would be the mind-set of a child who presumed that he had abundant sufficient knowledge to speak to dad’s children in his stead? That child is deceived to the point where he believes that his knowledge is so spectacular that he can take the responsibility of counsel, wisdom, understanding from his dad because he can relate dad’s mind to his children. If there was a child who stood up insisting that he will sustain his siblings in the affairs of their intimate loving relationship with their dad, what would be his tenure? How ludicrous does it sound to a reasonable thinking person that a child could inherently know the mind of dad, let along God, to know his thinking? How close does a child have to be in knowing his dad, to inherently possess his mind enough to counsel his children is his stead? How could Moses have known the mind of God in dealing with the Pharaoh of Egypt? Where could he have gone to attain the knowledge that God would use an army of insects, frogs and lice to bring down the might of a kingdom? To any reasonably thinking person, God would train, equip and gather an army of men, not insects. What study could he have attained the knowledge of God’s mind concerning how He would accomplish such a spectacular event? How could Moses have gained the knowledge of God? What person or institution could Moses have sought in his desire to know the mind of God? Without Moses hearing God’s voice, what religious institution or person could Moses have entered to gain God understands and wisdom? What book or C.D. could he have read or listened to if he were going to gain the intent of God? Where did Moses gain the knowledge of what God was about to do in the life of the Pharaoh? What is most sickening of the behavior of these heretics is that, it would be different if they were deceived and walked down the road alone but they are taking countless lives with them. They no more know the intent of God than the religious people in the days of Moses. The religious in Moses’ day had no clue and neither do these heretics . These heretics insist that they know the mind of God without hearing His counsel. There is no person that can guide, counsel or take the exclusive responsibility and privilege from the Father in dealing with His children. Apart from Moses hearing God’s voice, how could he have known how God would accomplish His desire? This is why their behavior of these heretics is arrogant, insufferable and repugnant. There is not one child in the natural, who could stand before his siblings, honestly insisting that he knows the mind of his dad sufficiently to counsel his children in his stead. Why that heretics presume they can know the mind of God sufficiently to seize God’s responsibility is beyond rational thinking. If a dad desired to be involved in his children’s lives to counsel them and a child had the mordacity to stand between him, how incensed, enraged and vengeful would be the actions of his dad. Isaiah 55:9 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. It is impossible for the heavens being above the earth to be measured, as it is for God’s children to inherently know the mind of God. “Higher”, depicts and describes the utter futility of coming to a place where the mind of God’s children to ever reaching the level of God’s thinking. In Moses’, Elijah and Jacob’s life, how could they come to a place where they would have inherently known the mind of God? Where could have Joshua have gone to attain the mind of God’s intent concerning how God would counsel His children concerning the walls of Jericho? It would be humorous if it not obnoxious to imagine there are God’s children running about insisting they have come to a place where they are insisting God’s children come to them if they desire to know God’s intent for their lives. Again, the utter mordacity is, that if God’s children have a desire to know God’s desire for their lives, they insist that they come to them and obey their counsel. The response to these men’s mind-set should have been that their arrogance should have been rewarded with rejection of their very insistence of their approach. Never was the reference made concerning that they heard God’s voice reveal such knowledge to them, so how are they different from any prophet in the bible speaking according to their own thinking? They sound so convincing and learned they must be anointed of God but never once did they make reference to God revealing such knowledge by the inspiration of His voice. Trew trew erw rte er e “If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also”, how is it that they know the mind of God without knowing His voice? How is a child, no matter how much he insists to knowing his dad, to discern his thinking, if he does not know his voice? If his dad does not reveal his thinking concerning a situation, how is a child to gain knowledge of his wisdom without his dad revealing it to him by his voice? How arrogant would a child have to be to believe he knows his dad’s will and set himself up as the authority without his dad inspiring his thinking by his voice? Here we have children who claim to know God simply because they know how to quote the bible and believe the context as fact. How utterly deceived would that child be if he circulated knowledge without inspiration of dad’s voice, fully convinced he had authority to do it? In other words, imagine a child setting himself as an authority speaking for dad in his stead insisting his siblings obey his commands as they would dad? This is what is taking place here as these two leaders of the full gospel church, are convinced that they know the mind of God without knowing His voice. God has not spoken to them, yet they could not wait to run out insisting that their knowledge is inspired by His voice. Jesus throughout His ministry, revealed the heart of the Father, they never reference our Lord. He is the only one Anointed by God to share His knowledge, wisdom, understanding, fear and counsel to His children. Isaiah 11:2: And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears. These two heretics never referenced the fact, like true prophets, to hearing God’s voice. God will use men to reveal His mind to His children? In the above scripture the exclusive privilege of revealing the mind of the Father to His children is reserved to His only Begotten Son. There is no other person that the Father has delegated the responsibility that He will never relinquish to another sibling. Can it be imagined the absolute confusion and abusive manipulation of power, if the Father delegated to another sibling the authority to establish a relationship with His children. How would His children realize who God anointed to reveal His mind to His children? In the bible where is the precedent where a prophet of God receives the mind of God through another man? Where in the bible does a prophet of God enter into an institution of learning to learn of God? A child of God will never come to a place in his life, ministry or study to enter the exclusive privilege of guiding the Father’s children into the truth of God. If their behavior is normal concerning how they have the authority to reveal God’s heart to His children, then it is not unimaginable to imagine that Elijah could walk into the home of the widow woman, give her a book, and as she believe, she would be blessed. It matters not that she was inspired and obeyed God’s voice because according to these prophets of the full gospel churches their doctrines, filled with their knowledge would be equivalent to her hearing God’s voice. According to these heretics, if she would have believed their words, she would be blessed. 1 Kings 17: 8,9 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, Arise, get thee to Zarephathc, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee. If these heretics could author a book and inspire the “faith” of God, then Elijah could write a book entitle “five steps to your oil to never fail”, give it to her and God would be glorified. If “faith” could be inspired by the inspirational teachings of God’s children, then this woman did not need to obey God’s voice because all she had to do was obey the prophet. Then, because God inspired Elijah, why did he not think that he could run through the country side teaching what he taught the widow and they be increased and God glorified? If God’s children has the ability to inspire “faith”, why did not speak the words inspired by God to every widow because according to these heretics, as she gave to him first, they would prosper. Now it matters not if they are obeying God’s voice or not because their knowledge validates them to having the authority to speak the promises. Elijah had the first prosperity doctrine. We all know how ludicrous this sounds, even though Elijah was taught of God, if he promised many widows, they would not prosper. Now you have prophets whose message is not inspired by God’s voice, going about promising prosperity to whomever will give to them, promising that which not even the behavior of Elijah would be blessed. According to these heretics, if every widow obeyed his commands, gave to him, they would be increased. The behavior dictates, even if Elijah went about promising many widows and God never manifested the miracle, no matter, he could cover up his utter ineptness and lies by informing his hearers they must “believe more”. If the behavior of the full gospel church leaders is consistent, then why did not Elijah author a book, c.d.s and newsletters, so all widows could prosper? Are the leaders of the full gospel churches more spiritual than the prophet Elijah? Is the anointing on these leaders more than that of Elijah because they are no evidence of a loving intimate relationship. If these heretics had a loving intimate relationship with God they would not feel the need to steal from Elijah. There is evidence that Elijah did not steal his knowledge from other prophets to inspire his message and implore his promises. There is evidence that Elijah did not study from the religious leaders or institutions of his day, receive knowledge, teach the widow and her receive “faith” and the blessing. There is evidence that Elijah’s message did not include the history of cities, origins of the meanings of words or the habits of insects, he obeyed God’s voice. He did not validate his anointing by the knowledge he gained from books, dictionaries and interpretation of the Mosaic scriptures, he obeyed God. Elijah’s inspiration is consistent with all the true prophets throughout the bible, he obeyed God’s voice. These intoxicated leaders are blinded by pride, influenced by the honor of men and deceived by the glory of their knowledge to justify their rational but there is precedent in the bible that condemns, not supports their behavior.
