All in All I enjoyed this. I POSTED THIS SEVERAL HOURS AGO.t is very sad even worse is my job has me travel a lot. Many churches that once had regular tongues and interpretation on a regular basis hardly ever do now if at all. I truly do believe first and 2nd Corinthians are the biblical model of the church God wants. A people of His coming together that he may move thru with the ministry gifts guiding into maturity and equipping. There is a time for teaching but Paul gave an order of a service and it was when you come together with instructions. Fits perfectly with these signs shall follow those who believe sadly most professing churches I have been in neither allow attempt or give place and priority to move according to scriptural instructions let alone train them in that manner. I have been pondering this scripture for days as I remembered Jesus rebuked pharicees for saying you seek the scriptures for in them you think to find life but they testify of me and you won't come to me,In the text a form of religion denying the power of might pertain to this warning.isa 28 11For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. 12To whom he said, This [is] the rest [wherewith] ye may cause the weary to rest; and this [is] the refreshing: yet they would not hear. 13But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken and harden not your heart to the voice in Hebrews seem to suggest many know about Him and go to church but really makes me wonder how man know Him that Word in greek is intimate as in husband and wife. There are two words for fear and two for unbelief in the new testament it is very important ministers understand that.A truly dangerous thing as happened if Corinthians had been followed by leaders there may well be very few believers walking without signs following.
aS TO AUTHORITYPaul was not afraid to judge there is a Government upon Jesus shoulders. Now paul did not like to but He made this comment.2 Corinthians 12:21 Here we see the pemise of authority. He was led of God to do so. We see this as he corrects leaders and layman. Moses was the antitype in Hebrews. Jesus is the great Apostle. God set first second third in cor. and lists f placed to work together in equipping and maturing the saints.Under the Lordship of the Holy Spirit these offices are to function at His Direction. Apart from that direction much damage will be done.The law of first mention old testament new testament prophets/Apostles. Bring change apostle used over 100 times prophet over 100 times teacher over 100 times and evangelist around 5 times pastor less than 5 concerning men in the bible. so Gods patteren has largly been done away with. As to what's coming next post.
Thought you might like these posts. 1 Of 4Robert Blackburn. What I was going to simply say is "People do not truly want to hear from the Prophets of the Lord, who both carry and speak with the Mantles of Old and New Testament Prophets and Apostles...those called to anchor and purify the Bride who see by the Spirit things far off in the future and warn, who see that which hinders Heaven from moving through the congregations, that which grieves the Holy Spirit and defiles the Altars, calling people to get rid of their idols...if God be God serve Him, but if Baal, serve him...very narrow and uncompromising declarations that often put the Prophet in an unpopular position among the System...so they speak from the dessert, the wilderness...The Jeremiahs & John The Baptist, yet they suffer unnecessary challenges because they are not supported as they should be, for the sake of the Kingdom. Because they are also a target of the Jezebel spirit (a very high ranking principality forever radically dedicated to killing the Prophet), caves seem to be their unwanted homes....BUT GOD!By Robert Blackburn"The Prophet that sank in the Mud" . . So, you want to be a prophet. I think there is a good reason why the genuine prophet is seldom heard among assemblies who say they are following the leadership of the Spirit. The true job of the office of a Prophet is highly controversial; although the recorded acts of what most of them did in the OT is not difficult to understand. Jezebel killed a lot of those men; just as many others in leadership did. It was to prevent them from speaking what, thus sayeth the Lord of Hosts; to those that would hear, and to those that would not hear. You get this feeling today that most people who should know better, don't like to focus on a lot of what those men and women of God in the old day said. Read the Books of the Prophets. It does appear that much of what they spake, was to warn God's people about what God was about to do to them, if they did not turn from their wicked ways. Oh, they certainly prophesied blessings and great things upon God's people, but that was predicated upon whether they did the right things and chose to follow His instruction. The main problem seemed to be, that most times, they didn't. Then, they were warned. I have to stop here and say, that it is a tragic loss that the true prophets and prophetesses, have not been allowed to warn the church of today. I want to tell you, that they tried. Except for a few chosen ones, approved only by higher circles, the prophets were driven from our churches; pushed out into the streets to fend for themselves. I will have to make a statement that many will reject and it's this. You will never have the end-time revival so many have talked about, without the prophets. It is not the first time people in charge have thought they destroyed this office. But, if one cares to read in depth, somewhere, somehow, God always had some in reserve.
