The Weak Powerless Church

 

Why is the modern western church powerless? Why are the members not seeing and experiencing miracles in mass? Why are people of faith easily dismissed as weak minded and gullible? Well, I have some thoughts on the subject.  

For over a hundred years now preachers have not taught their parishioners and disciples obedience to the Word of Yah. Grace is THE one thing that is preached. And the Apostle Paul(Saul) warned about this. 

Romans 6:1-4 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Romans 6:14-18 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.

Tell me, honestly, as a parent, do you reward (grace) and give discipline reprieve (mercy) to your children when they disobey you? If you don't, why would our Father, who is a better parent, do that? Gifts and blessings are not bestowed on obstinate disobedient children. 

Ok, so here's another thought:  Proverbs 28:9 One who turns away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination. So preachers aren't preaching obedience,  their parishioners aren’t even hearing the law. They don't know what to obey, they are told the law isn't for them, therefore they are in a spiral of sin ( transgression of the law:  1 John 3:4 The person who keeps on sinning is guilty of not obeying the Law of God. For sin is breaking the Law of God.) 

It's really frustrating to see believers in pain, sorrow, anguish, fear, dismay, hopelessness. and all because they are continuing in sin. Their preacher, aka Wolf in sheep's clothing, has told them Jesus did away with the law for them, He fulfilled the law for them, the laws are for the Jews, the laws are OT and not for Christians,  Jesus has His own law...etc...THESE LIES KEEP THE CHURCH FECKLESS. Yah's instructions for life. THE LAW, is forever,  and come on, what a great gift. I would've loved to give my children an instruction manual to navigate life...

When I ask another believer to join me in prayer,  I'm choosy. 

Still a work in progress

Why It Matters

Image
  My last blog post was about all the grievous sin running rampant across the earth. I wrote about revealing the sin, acknowledging it is happening, looking that horrific darkness in the face.  And now let's discuss why it matters.  We know from Genesis and the story of Cain and Able, that the blood of the innocent who have been slain cries out to the Most High. And He hears them. These cries are for justice. We are reminded of this in the Book of Revelation when the blood of the saints who are killed for their testimony cry out for justice. "How Long Adoni?" Ezekiel 9:4 gives the example of men being marked by The Most High because they were grieved by the abominations that were occurring around them. The marked men were a righteous remnant.  I want to be marked by Yah as His own, and to be counted in the remnant of the righteous.   Let our voices join with the cries of the slain innocent. Let our hearts be grieved over the abominations happening around us...

But Why?

  You know that kid, the one who always has "Why?" on the tip of their tongue? I think I might be that kid.  I realize I have a "Teresa" perspective, I'm trying to make sense of the information,  and therefore, I question much.  I question what the teacher presents, not to be contentious,  but to gain more understanding. As a Bible student in church, I moved from sitting in front with my hand raised to sitting in the back just observing.  I was not getting answers that actually answered. With enough of that, the teacher and student become frustrated, for far different reasons.  I learned to repeat the Church doctrine, being reassured I would understand with time... Yeah, not so much.  I could easily read my Bible, seemed pretty straightforward to me. But why didn't we as Christians do what it says? It says to do this, but we do that. But why? Sometimes the response was a Bible verse...ok. I guess I don't see what I'm supposed to.  For instanc...

Come Quickly Yahusha

Image
  A few years ago I began praying that all the evil and corruption across the earth be revealed. Many others were praying this same thing, and lo and behold the ugliness is being laid bare, exposed. The depths of depravity of which humans are capable is hard to understand, it's hard to face.  Over the years I've heard folks say, "oh things have to get much worse before Jesus comes back."  Upon hearing that statement, I would shake my head. It's doubtful that we, as mere humans, can get an accounting of how much evil, wickedness,  and sin is in this world, as we know, sin starts with a thought. But our Heavenly Father knows.  He is slow to send Yahusha back because he is merciful.  Just like the question presented by Abraham when Sodom was targeted for destruction by Yahuah, "What if there are 10 righteous people there? Will you spare it for 10 people?".  Me, and others like me are still fervently praying for our loved ones to come to the knowledge and ...
