Do You Trust The Suits, Or The Holy Spirit?
1st Corinthians 2:1/5
And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
Our world today has completely normalized the pulpit and everything that comes from it, while if one questions it, even criticizes it, they get ridiculed, mocked, slandered and even cast out as a ‘troublemaker’ or worse, a ‘demon’. Because of this unfortunate reality, we have seen multiple cases of clergy sexual abuse, money laundering, manipulation, massive legal battles and so many other things in these same institutions, and it grows worse today (judgement starts first at the house of God).
The apostle Paul shows us here that if one is not led in the reality of John 14:26 and John 16:13, then they will teach from the error of 2nd Corinthians 11:3/4. This, in and of itself has led to the cancer we see with the thousands of denominations and systems that ALL TEACH A DIFFERENT JESUS AND FAITH, merely conforming Him here and there to their founders, traditions and the vain imaginations of man. The adversary uses this against us… make no mistake.
When you see a man at the pulpit stumbling over his words, he is not so much nervous by the crowd of people as he is by understanding that he had better speak the Word in TRUTH and only proclaim what the Lord commands FROM HIS WORD, or he will merely be ‘putting on a show’ in front of the crowd. And sadly, this is much of the institutional church of today all over the world, full of wolves, clowns, demons and simply men with wicked agendas to use the people for gain. We must see this and be discerning!
