One thing people will tell you that are tangled up with religion,
And doctrines of men and are following after the traditions,
That have been handed down to them, By their parents and grandparents;
Is that we have to be under someone (man or woman).
My wife and I heard that for some years, When we were caught up in the church system,
And even for years before we met each other we heard,
"You have to be under somebody, You have to be under a mentor...
You have to sit under this pastor for so many years,
Before you can, you know, be ordained, Or be an evangelist or have any titles,
Within that particular "church" organization. The only one that each of us need to be under
is Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Head of His church.
His church is His called out believers, His temples here on Earth.
Each of us, I'm a temple and you are a temple. Now, you are either a synogauge, a temple
of satan, Offering your body an instrument of wickedness...
Or you're a temple of righteousness and holiness, Having surrendered your life to Jesus...
I'm a vessel - you're a vessel - we're a temple. So, you're either a temple of the Lord Jesus
Christ, Or you're a temple of satan...
Who have you offered your members to? Who have you offered your body to as a living
sacrifice? Are you sacrificing yourself, giving yourself
to the enemy? Or are you giving yourself to Jesus?
Because Jesus is the Head of His church. He is the Head of every called out believer,
That is being led by the Spirit of the Living God.
He is their Head. We only have One Head and that is Jesus.
We don't need to be under any man. We don't need to be under any woman.
We don't need to be under any organization, Or any club or any assembly or body of believers...
We just need to be under Jesus Christ. We just need to filled with the Spirit of
the Living God. We need to be born again.
We need to be baptized in water, And we need to be living lives of righteousness
and holiness, And obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ.
And then and only then can we fulfill the perfect will of God.
And that is gathering the sheep, helping the Lord,
Gathering His children unto Himself, gathering the lost...
Gathering the lost souls; doing the will of God.
Because if you are offering yourself to satan, Then all you're doing is scattering the flock...
All you're doing is destroying lives... If you're truly commited to Jesus and Jesus
is your Head, And you're filled with the Spirit of the Living
God, Then you have offered yourself to Jesus,
And your will is to please Jesus and do His will,
And to lead others into a relationship with Him.
That is all we are to be doing... So, are you part of the true church of Jesus
Christ? Are you being led by the Spirit of the Living
God? Is He who you get your guidance from?
Are you listening to the voice of the Master, Through the power of the Holy Spirit?
Are you hearing His voice lead you every day? Or are you sitting under the leadership of
men? Are you going to an organization,
And getting your direction from them? Are you participating in what they have deemed,
As your reasonable service in their charitable giving,
And all of their activities that they are doing...
They set up a food drive or whatever different things...
Is your service to the organization? Are you being led by men?
Is that club that you meet with on Wednesdays and Sundays,
Are they directing your path? Are they ordering your steps?
Who is your spiritual Head? Truly, take a look... Examine yourself.
Is Jesus your head? Are you being led by the Spirit of God,
Or are you being led by organizations and doctrines of men?
May Jesus bless you.
