HIS Church

THIS IS A TRUTH THAT MANY CHRISTIANS STRUGGLE WITH. WHEN GOD SPEAKS, THAT IS THE TIME TO OBEY! WHEN YOU BEGIN TO REASON, DEBATE AND ARGUE ABOUT IT MAKING SENSE, YOU ARE ALREADY ALLOWING YOUR OWN IDEAS, YOUR OWN REASONING TO STOP YOUR OBEDIENCE TO HIM.

Isn’t There Some Misunderstanding?
By Oswald Chambers
March 28

“Let us go to Judea again.” The disciples said to Him, “…are You going there again?” —John 11:7-8

Just because I don’t understand what Jesus Christ says, I have no right to determine that He must be mistaken in what He says. That is a dangerous view, and it is never right to think that my obedience to God’s directive will bring dishonor to Jesus. The only thing that will bring dishonor is not obeying Him. To put my view of His honor ahead of what He is plainly guiding me to do is never right, even though it may come from a real desire to prevent Him from being put to an open shame. I know when the instructions have come from God because of their quiet persistence. But when I begin to weigh the pros and cons, and doubt and debate enter into my mind, I am bringing in an element that is not of God. This will only result in my concluding that His instructions to me were not right. Many of us are faithful to our ideas about Jesus Christ, but how many of us are faithful to Jesus Himself? Faithfulness to Jesus means that I must step out even when and where I can’t see anything (see Matthew 14:29). But faithfulness to my own ideas means that I first clear the way mentally. Faith, however, is not intellectual understanding; faith is a deliberate commitment to the Person of Jesus Christ, even when I can’t see the way ahead.

Are you debating whether you should take a step of faith in Jesus, or whether you should wait until you can clearly see how to do what He has asked? Simply obey Him with unrestrained joy. When He tells you something and you begin to debate, it is because you have a misunderstanding of what honors Him and what doesn’t. Are you faithful to Jesus, or faithful to your ideas about Him? Are you faithful to what He says, or are you trying to compromise His words with thoughts that never came from Him? “Whatever He says to you, do it” (John 2:5).

Judges 4-6; Luke 4:31-44

Wisdom from Oswald
There is nothing, naturally speaking, that makes us lose heart quicker than decay—the decay of bodily beauty, of natural life, of friendship, of associations, all these things make a man lose heart; but Paul says when we are trusting in Jesus Christ these things do not find us discouraged, light comes through them.

Faith is not intelligent understanding; faith is deliberate commitment to a person when we see no way.

1000000% TRUE!!!!!! And people have not taken Heed to it. Too many focused IN where it is comfortable and even those are tired of watered down Wordly, Feel Good, Ear Tickling Messages. God VERY CLEARLY tells us to FEED HIS SHEEP, BUT For Years The Shepherds have bee 'Feeding Themselves instead of taking care of God's Flock SO, God tells us EXACTLY What He IS doing and going to do because of this, See Ezekiel 33 & 34 and Revelation chapters 1-3! Smoke and Mirrors and Entertainment complexes Do Not impress HIM, Obedience and a Relationship Does!

🚨 New research reveals a “definitive failing”—a generation sitting in pews, yet drifting further from the truth of God’s Word.

According to findings highlighted by George Barna, many who identify as Christians no longer hold a biblical worldview, exposing a deep and growing spiritual crisis within the Church itself. This isn’t just a cultural shift—it’s a spiritual alarm.

For decades, faith has been quietly losing its influence, with fewer believers anchoring their lives in Scripture and more adopting beliefs shaped by the world rather than the Word.

This moment demands more than concern—it calls for awakening, repentance, and a return to sound doctrine before an entire generation is lost to confusion and compromise. More below ⬇️

Well, I know this will strike up a fire, But when you understand the whole scripture, I have lived a lifetime and am about to Celebrate my 35th Anniversary since my own "Road of Demascus Encounter" with the Lord Jesus Christ! I DO stand by the Rapture and believe that the Church Jesus implemented in Acts and the Fact of the Holy Spirit being in us as we are that Temple of the Holy Spirit is what continues to stand in the way of total evil on this earth during the Church Age which we live. Once the Church (and the Holy Spirit is removed ) as we know it in the Church age, their will not be that Power, That same Power that is in Jesus and in us, ie. why He said He must go in order to send the One coming after Him, to "Push Back" or Fight evil. Simply put. So many today cannot even tell you when Jesus' Ministry on earth started! So, No Wonder so many argue over the Rapture. All I can say is BETTER BE READY!!!
