Early this year, God sent me to an infant church that had not even moved into its own church facility. I know that His timing for sending me there was so that the church could rid itself of false doctrine before getting firmly established. God sent me there with the notion that they would change their false theologies. But they did not change, in fact the pastor has refused to seek God.
God said of that pastor “I hate his ugly heart towards correcting doctrines. He has had ample time to seek me and turn away from the false teachings but instead he has stubbornly preached the primary false doctrine as though it were true.” How can God bless a church or even want to build it when it sits entrenched in wrong teaching? The pastor seems to be trying to draw people to his side of the issue rather than to destroy the false doctrine that caused God to send His prophet with a message. It seems that he won’t be able to change his false doctrine now without admitting openly that he was wrong. His pride won’t allow him to do that easily. Should God refuse to help him until he gets the doctrine right? Should God withdraw His presence and leave the church right where they choose to be?
Today God sent me to another new church for the same exact reason. The church is The Gathering Church led by a male and a female copastors. Already they have more going for them than the previous church because they actually have a female pastor. I LOVE that!!!! (The other church forbids female pastors. No wonder God hates their ugliness.)
I loved much of what was said at the church this morning by both Sonia and Dan. It’s hard to be the one that God will use once again to confront the false doctrine of multiple gods. There is only one God. There is not a second and third God seated next to Him or with His authority. God is Spirit. God is the Holy Spirit. Jesus is God. Jesus is the Holy Spirit. Jesus is no longer in Son of God or Son of Man flesh. He is the only Spirit seated on the one and only sovereign throne as God.
I know that God had me visit the church this morning to see the pastors’ hearts. Their hearts are right. I don’t want to hurt them by telling them that the trinity doctrine is wrong because that immediately takes on an adversarial role if they don’t understand that I’m bringing the message from God. But I also don’t want God to look at them with contempt later because I didn’t want the uncomfortableness of confronting their false doctrine. Again, I believe God has urgency to this because they are just getting established. It would be so much better to start out with sound doctrine than how the earlier mentioned church handled things.
Do they even believe that God sends prophets? Will I be dismissed as unimportant and yelled at publicly like at the other church earlier this year? Or will I be welcomed to help insure that the doctrines are exactly what God wants taught? Will they seek God with all their heart or spend their energy persecuting His prophet? I guess we will find out.
