The following is an excerpt from my new book, soon to be released, titled “Mediocrity,” which deals with many issues in society and our churches. There is a current promoting the sense that if mediocre Christians inhabit the Church, it will not be a force to be concerned with against evils yet to be unleashed. This is the first of three parts that will try to enlighten you to the fact that you are, in God’s eyes, one whom He has aligned with a force He says is to be on earth.
The early Church, around the 2nd or 3rd century AD, began moving away from its Jewish foundations as it found new hope in Platonic allegories and those paganisms rooted in plagiarized philosophies that would become the content of many religious doctrines. Today, we have doctrines that were not founded on a literal biblical sense, but on a newfound nuance of intellectual control as sects and divisions emerged across the various testaments over the centuries. Each of them claimed their doctrine was more right than the others’. Thus, ignorance of the responsibility of knowing the truth began among congregants.
What was formally to be the Church by Israel in the early days, as from an all-powerful God, was now discerned by leadership as relevant to denominational statutes founded upon the religious controls they sought to prosper from. Thus, by invoking Platonic ideals and opting out of God’s culturally inspired spiritual union, this profound philosophical era found its way and is today strewn among almost all the now varied denominational elements of the Church. The fact that each of these has structured its own outline of articles of faith that protect beliefs inherent to defending bylaws reveals that they have created one of the greatest works of deception concerning God’s plan for His spiritual lineage.
Most of you know or should know that Adam’s actions relinquished a sovereign power endowed to him by God, and rendered all of humanity’s dominion to a curse. This is a dominion ordained by God before He created us. Gen 1:28 (ASV) And God blessed them: and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. This dominance was, in this case, to be active on earth over all God declared to be under it, and still present and purposed to do battle against evil’s appearance even today.
To understand how this dominance works, we need to recognize that it is the sovereignty of God, a wholly supernatural exercise of authority and power to enact whatever He chooses on this earth, according to the work of the Spirit of God. And this spiritual dominion was to be exerted here by His subordinate offspring, those who have a measure of sovereignty passed on to them to participate as His seed for a continuous operation of blessings upon all creation. With one exclusion, humanity itself will have no power of dominion over another person, as each has been given by God a free will to exercise dominion over self only.
Transferring such power to the curse as God decreed resulted in rendering all of humanity under the influence of an evil-natured enemy, the devil. And ever since then, events having an evil intent behind them taking place, no matter the level of any wickedness revealed, they have a semblance to the evils he works on earth. Today, on display are the likes of which we have never seen before. This highlights the importance of all the children of God knowing the truth about who they are and how they can stand against this enemy, equipped with a supernatural force beyond understanding.
All of these bastions of doctrines represent a very large portion of this spiritual force God calls the Church that has always had at its disposal an all-mighty range of supernatural power to work against this enemy and every force of darkness he controls. But a sense of fear seems to be rising among many, as their leadership takes on a submissive role to the verbal rants that represent the results of decades of tolerance and ignorance. An ignorance purposely kept in place in order to edify doctrines rather than scriptural truths, keeping believers unaware of an inherited right as a son or daughter of the Highest God.
You knowing these truths will make it clear that there is a revelation to be known that goes beyond humanity’s purpose of procreation into an eternal age that God perceived would be fully present on earth. He requires every one of His children to be fully conscious of and trained up to fulfill. This truth is not about ministry or witness or testimony; however, they are all excerpts of one’s life that must come from it. But not many believers know that there is a manner of spirit that appears in those He proclaims as His lineage, to be aligned with the Spirit of God. John 1:12-13 But as many as received him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
If you are born again, then you are what the preceding verse says, a son or daughter of God. And born again for a purpose that is beyond anything you know or currently understand, but revealed in the fact that God’s children are not to be controlled by doctrines of men, but fully conscious of who they are as God has described them to be accoding to His doctrine only.
Stay Tuned More to Come.
