There
is a delicate balance in pursuing God into His revelation and
pursuing our own inspiration. The determining factor is the anointing
of the Holy Ghost. God will anoint His revelation and Holy Ghost
inspiration but He will not anoint inspiration that is born out of
our human intellect. His anointing signifies recognition and
approval. We must secure the anointing of God upon our message. If
not, our message is not God's message. The goal for all should be to
be one with Christ in desire, purpose, and message.
There
is much to be said about the influence of our religious heritage.
However, we can’t be stuck (consumed) in religious tradition but
neither can we lose the spiritual virtue of past generations. It is
important to understand that all of us are continuing to evolve into
the people that God desires that we become. And just as important
that we understand that the Bride of Christ continues to evolve.
Ephesians 5:25, “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also
loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26That
he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the
word, 27That he might
present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle,
or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.”
Paul says that Christ loves the Church and gave Himself for it that
the process of making herself ready might be accomplished by the
washing of the Word. God's plan for the Body is established in the
Word. It will not change but we, the frail human characters that we
are, must find His perfect plan for us. (continued) The Message, p. 17-18, available at Amazon.com.
