Dead Leaders of the Church

A FISH ROTS AT ITS HEAD
I have quit going to church. No, I did not quit on God at all. On contrary, I got closer to God since I quit going to a buildign with people that compromise constantly. I am not saying that there are no genuine Christians out there, but that I am sick and tired of fellowshipping with people and leaders and pastors that are afraid to speak the truth of the Lord Jesus. I dont want to be under their authority. My grandma used to say, " A fish starts stinking(rotting at its head). I mentioned before that I made a lot of mistakes in my life and some of them because I listened to other people, pastors that encouraged me to go against God. Yes, because when I REALLY had revelation later on the things they said, I saw that I ended up in sin. Pastors, leaders, and others encourage us to live in sin..they are sending us to Hell.

I quit going to church when I found out that most churches support adultery, divorce and remmariage to other people and they consider the covenant with your first spouse meaningless. I wonder how would we be able to trust God is He would keep changing His mind as much as we do. And we are supposed to represent Christ to others right? I do not want to give my money for one more stinking building. People are dying out there, are hungry..yet we need to build one more million dollar building. Who cares? This idea with buildings came from the Roman churches I think long time ago..institutions. We have money to build a building but when our fellow church member asks us for help with rent, " We do not have any bc we have to build the building..go home an may the Lord bless you". These people forgot what 1 John says that if you tell someone to go warm up and be blessed basically and just wish them good things w/o givign them what they need you are NOT showing love.

"But now your husband married someone esle and he made a covenant with that woman. He has a commitment". Don't you mean to say or should have said to that woman or my husband, "You cant make another commitment bc you already have one with yoru SPOUSE?" " You can't call someone esle you husband when you already have a covenant?" How can one have a covenant on top of the other? Because we believe lies! How come THE FRIST covenant doesn't count? Where did we learn that our last word matters only? It is wrong and satanic. God takes our words seriously. Jesus said we will give an account for every idle word we say. If you already gave your word then shouldn't you keep it? How can you be trusted if people know that you might change your mind anytime and "the last committment matters only"? And which one is your last? Haven't we read Psalm 15 where it says that a righteous person makes a vow and will not break it even if it is in his/her loss?

It is time to believe God! I mean believe that what He says is true and we need to take His word seriously and obey Him. The apostle James said that we need to be doers of the Word not just hearers, yet we act like , " Well, I do not have to live by the LAW ( the Word), bc I can hear God for myself". Excuse me? The Word of God is not Old Covenant Law. This is New Covenant and just because someone wrote down what God said with words, it make His words invalid? If you tell me in writing something is it not as good as you saying it? Then people who are mute they are useless!..Ridiculous!
I am glad someone wrote the Word down because I couldnt remember it all. That is the whole puspose of why it was written down : to be passed on to us and so forth.

The written word is STILL God's Word. That is what got us in trouble in the first place! We all make our own decisions...." I do not need to live by the Word written..that is LAW..I can hear God for myself"....and you ended up in immorality, in having multiple partners, in drinking, in using drugs, and dead spiritually. There is a scripture that comes to my mind right now but cannot remember where it is written exactly, but I think it was God who said one time that everyone was doing what was pleasing in their OWN eyes.

If we all really heard from God we wouldnt be so divided and families wouldnt fall apart. There would be more miracles and people raised from the dead. We would see a nation change.

We say that most of America is Christian. Kinda sound like Romania. You know Satan believes in God, but will not obey Him. There is a difference between believing and BELIEVING.

If most of America is Christian how in the world do we have non-Christians rule? Their ideas? Their ways are penetrating the church. Let's face the truth: most of America is lost. We are deceived and we sit in our pews and we pretend we are a Christian nation. I care about America, but mostly I care about the truth. Ever since I was a kid and to my adulthood people told me I was too honest. I just want genuine Christianity. Does our life line up with the Bible? What the Word says we should be like and what we REALLY are like are two different situations.

I am praying for myself for a change. I do not write this just to write. I am passionate about Jesus and I believe the true Christians are out of the so called church. I am ashamed to call what we have, "THE CHURCH". We make Christ be ok with sin. Far from it! God is good. Yes, He is and that's why He will not tolerate win. As Kris Vallotton says, " We have no excuse now to sin". Since Christ died for us and gives us the power to overcome sin, showed us how to love relentlessly and forgive just like He did..you and I have no excuse. You have no excuse to leave your spouse when Christ showed you the perfect example of forgiveness. You have no excuse to mistreat others when God lets the sun rise on the good and bad. You have no excuse of not praying for people when they are sick and dying!

Paul said not even to eat with those who claim to be Christians yet they live in sin. Please stop saying that , " Well, we all sin. Don't you?" That is not what Paul is talking about. These are people that do NOT want to change and call their evil, "good". These are people that do not care about Jesus: they enjoy their sin and do not care to even TRY to change and seek help. Listen, God sais not to fellowship with them. He said it not I. Yes, love them, but you need to separate from them when they keep doing their sin and dont care about changing. You are holy. No excuses! I think I would listen to God talking through Paul more than myself.
No more excuses! RISE UP CHURCH!
