Why are you puting off serving God?

Have you decided to serve God or are you going to put it off

** People are not willing to submit to the will of God, or to totally submit everything in their life, they have been convinced by the enemy that they are better off doing it all  their way and we've just learned that this mentality is a dead end street. **

===========================

Have you decided to serve God or are you going to put it off with another ridiculous excuse?
You know what I mean, because you've used every excuse available in your lifetime to excuse yourself from doing what God requires of you, His will.
But, but, but, ----- yeah, He's heard em all, every one, and they will never be anything more than excuses, do you think that this is the reason that there are so few
 "Born Again Christians in the world???

I continue to ask this question of churches, is your leadership, are your preachers and teachers Spirit filled?

The interesting part about this whole matter is that so very few, if any have ever addressed this question, this is a sad statement.   Oh yes, you can't be divorced and be a deacon, but you can be void of the one thing that qualifies you to serve God,  {The Holy Spirit} and still be a deacon or in other leadership in your church.---- WHAT?

Teach The Word of God, yep their lined up to be Sunday school teacher's or associate pastors, they raise their hands and proclaim "glory" with every statement from the pulpit, hallelujah, praise God without one time seeking The Word of God on this critical matter.

They graduate from the universities of men, filled with teachers and retired preachers who still question the teachings of those who came before them, and yet still teach their lies unequivocally They say, this man or that man has an opinion of God's Word, they preach and teach from this version, or that version, from the interpretations and opinions of men, but fail miserably at the The Word of God in Truth!

Church goers everywhere sit in their pews and claim to understand what they are taught, they proclaim it as gospel and yet they too are void of The Spirit and any understanding of God's Word.

I started to write something different this morning, but God continues to hammer home this message and I know many will ask why. Why?  --  there I asked the question of you, the answer is so obvious and the church is in such need of Spirit filled leaders that it is becoming dire in consequence!

If you are dependent on your phone or other devise to get you to your destination and it has a glitch that was never corrected by the manufacturer or server, a glitch that will send you down this wrong road or that wrong road until you crash, what was the sense of your continuing to follow it's directions.

How is it that The Word of God, that Jesus would say, I tell you the truth, why?
Because of course Jesus is "The Truth" and because the truth is the only thing that we can depend on, period, everything else is a lie!

Satan is hell bent on corrupting The Word of God, he has created every version, every interpretation even though God clearly states that we are not to use interpretations of His Word. He continues to blind the church by putting the least qualified, those void of The Spirit in leadership and we have allowed his success.

Let me go back to my original question, are you ready to serve God?
 1st Corinthians 2:12-16  KJB 
Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but The Spirit which is of God: that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

But the natural man receives not the things of The Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is Spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

For who hath known the mind of The Lord, that he may instruct Him?
 But we can have the mind of Christ.
 Amen and Amen.

If we are to serve God, we must serve Him on His grounds, on His instruction, we must follow The Word or we are of no service to God, none!

If you don't understand The Word of God, if you do not have a relationship with God, both which require the indwelling of The Spirit, then you are of no consequence to God or to The Word of God in Truth.

Any vocation, any trip, any undertaking that is worthwhile, requires preparation, requires experience, many even require that we pass a test and receive a license. 
God requires something of us, He provides us with His gifts, however these gifts come with the requirement that we receive The Holy Spirit, in that we become Born Again in The Spirit of God - this is where our service ends!

People are not willing to submit to the will of God.  Which is to totally submit everything; because they have  been convinced by the enemy {Satan} that they are better off doing things their way and we should have learned that this mentality is a dead end Road.

What else can God do to convince you of the truth, it's all in His book of instruction {The Bible}, if your not convinced now,  when will you ever be?

But "the natural man" (non Spirit filled), does not receive the things of The Spirit of God.

 PERIOD!
 
Get that?

 PERIOD!  
 There's no question mark after PERIOD!
