2d • Discipleship
Opportunities
Many people are looking to receive a fresh revelation, a new fire, a breakthrough, a prophetic word or a sign from God.
They travel far distances, spend money on conferences and yet the same people find themselves repeating this cycle year after year, conference after conference...
2 Timothy 3 describes this as
5 having a form of godliness, but denying its power. Turn away from such people.
6 Those of this nature creep into houses and captivate silly women who are burdened with sins and led away with various desires,
7 always learning, but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
I was visiting with a Pastor and his family yesterday and we were joking and laughing because he was saying exactly what's been on my heart recently.
People are looking for the Resurrection but don't want the death. Earlier in that same chapter in 2 Timothy it says...
2 Timothy 3:2
Men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
We read through this but jump over something like "disobedient to parents". It's not always in the big acts that we are missing and denying the power of God. It's actually in the small and simple everyday decisions.
I was visiting a church and I told my translater, you can stop translating. They asked why and I said... they invited the Worship leader to come up and Worship... its now been 10 minutes and he is strumming the guitar and telling his testimony. I'm sure its a powerful story and im sure he has a great gift but he just missed the basics... he was asked to do one thing by the Pastor and He's doing the exact opposite. I now know he's not moving in the purity of the Spirit.
Yes God will still use him and GOd still loves him, but we are denying the power of God because we wont follow simple commands. If you cant honor and submit to the authorities you can see, why do you believe you're honoring God who you cannot see?
Jesus said, "If you Love me, Obey my commandments". We are quick to say we love God but disobey and rebel against the very authority He has put in place.
The next conference is not the secret to your Breakthrough, its faithfulness and Obedience in the everyday tasks. It's passing the tests in the difficult seasons. Your Next Level is tied to your next opportunity to die to self.
