I can’t look at the churches with the same eyes as those who do not hear God. Because of God’s persistence to expose the false doctrines as part of my ministry, I’m always going to see the church as resistant to God’s leading UNTIL (or if) they change wrong doctrines into correct truth.

I can’t see the church in the same way as someone who doesn’t care about truth. They can be happy and content with every sermon, every gathering, and every blatantly wrong theology, because they don’t have the same perspective that I have through listening to God teach me about correct doctrine.

If they don’t have the Holy Spirit leading them, church can be an outing and opportunity to see friends and make new ones. It’s not work. They don’t have to confront the devil’s lies and schemes against God’s Kingdom. Everything is easy for them in the comfort of church gatherings. They don’t even know that they’re seen as fools who walk without the Spirit. It is normal for them to nonchalantly stroll in their “faith” walk.

To them, I probably seem like a troublemaker who refuses to settle for the status quo. Do they wonder why I can’t endorse a pastor who teaches falsely? Do they think that I’m just a cranky old lady?

Recently, I had to deliver a hard message to someone who I hadn’t seen in years. When I got home and alone with God, I said “Lord, they’re not going to want to be my friend after that.” The Lord said “Well, they weren’t your friend yesterday, why does it matter if they are today? Isn’t it better that you spoke truth to them in love than to leave them where they were? Isn’t it best that you did my will?”

So, it seems that I’m not going to fit in with a church locally if God has His way. I don’t know how to be a superficial Christian while being a supernaturally anointed follower of God. If I have to choose one (and I do) then I must choose to be an outcast to the spiritually blind and deaf as they do their thing.
