The truth transforms! The truth sets free!
The truth is life! Truth leads to Destiny!
To combat scriptural and human error from leading the people of God away from the pure Gospel of Christ, Apostle Paul encouraged Timothy with sound views and doctrines of life. Paul knew that in order to be effective, the Christian’s saved life was of utmost importance. To be biblically or doctrinally correct, but yet live a life contrary to the truth, would be unacceptable and cause ineffectiveness.
Our lives must be the expression of the truth of the Word of God. What we preach and teach is empowered and made mighty by how we live and what we are. We must be genuine and the truth has to be genuine, the unadulterated word of God, in order to convince those who are in darkness. False doctrines and prophets were prevalent in ancient days just as they are today. It would take God's people to be elevated to higher levels of glory in Him to get the truth of His word out obliterating and renouncing lies, mutations, half-truths and pure deceptions which destroy souls. God can cover the earth with the sea of truth to restore genuine truth back to Humanity.
The Red Pin Cushion Vision
A while back, when Christ inspired me to write this book, He showed me that there were so many errors around the body of Christ by showing me the example of a red pin cushion full of stick pins. If you know anything about sewing your own clothes, you would know what I’m talking about. We used a lot of stick pins when we sew outfits, so the best thing to always keep handy is a pin cushion. Imagine being the pin cushion. How do you think the body of Christ feels. Errors are hurting the body sending the members on detours from Divine Destiny. The church is suffering; Christians are suffering. Wake Up! Arise! It’s time for healing in our lands from error. If My people, who are called by My name would…….Then I will……..and usher them into Divine Destiny!
He wants us to be mature enough to identify and counteract deceptive teachings, demonic doctrines, unrighteous preachings, and false prophesies, etc. that contain only elements of God’s truths in our own vicinities, then join together somehow, someway to destroy as much error as we possibly can, then He would do the rest.
Anything that does not agree with God's words has no place amongst the saints, the Christians, His people. I believe that the holy words weren’t always talking about beer, cigarettes, drugs, etc. when it referred to this scripture: touch not, taste not, handle not the unclean thing. It also means, don’t touch, taste, or handle false doctrines, false ministries, etc. by fellowshipping with them, unless you are correcting and restoring them. John tells us to not support false ministries. Your only help is to love them, pray for them, and try to tell them what God says. Be careful to follow after God’s in this. We love everybody and we tell the truth in love and in the power of the holiness.
It gives me so much hurt and pain to see those who are actually in dark religions or cults: children are affected. Their parents’ are so unreceptive and angry, yet it’s so evident that there’s lack of knowledge. You love them, yet most of them do not want to receive your love, because you’re seen as an enemy or is called the anti-Christ as they called even Jesus, Beelzebub and the Devil, when you challenge their doctrines or faith. They are much angrier than a bonafide sinner, but call themselves righteous. Some of them are so verbally, emotionally, and certainly spiritually abusive and mean-spirited. There’s that Saul before Paul spirit again. Saul was mean and full of hatred, murdering and persecuting Christians, but still a devout Pharisee.
What they really need to do, everyone for that matter, is ask God to open their eyes to whatever is not pleasing in God’s eyes and banish that from their lives for good. Then continue to seek Him daily. The process of salvation continues, fillings of the Holy Ghost continues. Seeking God should be ongoing until we leave planet Earth. You haven’t made it to heaven yet! God is not going to take any chances on letting any kind of sin into His kingdom again. This time God can say, “Been there, done that.” Satan and his army was cast down and out, Revelation 12.
The Bible is so important, but even better is to inquire to God, acknowledge Him and ask Him for the interpretations and understanding of it. The more that we stay in the word, the more the word will stay in us. The better we understand it, the more it’s enjoyed. The more we read, understand, and enjoy it, the more we are transformed in the image of Christ.
Jim Jones and many others used mutations of truth and were left with only impurity, ungodly, and totally demonic and sadistic carnally-minded teaching of their own by now, demon-possessed spirit. God’s Bible was no longer used by Jim Jones. We have witnessed the tragedies caused by such false leaders of cults. How could we have saved them? What else is brewing out there in the name of religion? How can we help our misguided sisters and brothers who are on a detour to death instead of life today? Somehow, the mature saints must start strategizing beyond just the church and reach out to a dying world. God has all the answers. His answers are truth, the effective truth.
