Houses of Control
by Jeannie Brown on Wednesday, March 2, 2011 at 2:31pm
Sometimes we really don't NEED confirmation about TRUTH, when we know the TRUTH.
What I am finding at this time is that the Lord will cause some to step into the arena of "control" to reveal their true intent, or should I say, "heart", revealing where their heart is.
The gifts of the Spirit were not given to us to "hide." They were given to be a blessing: to comfort, edify, exhort. To have to "present your words before the leadership" prior to speaking them or writing them so that they may be "judged" before presenting for ALL to hear read is simply a farce. There is no biblical support for this behavior.
One question recently presented to me is: what provokes you? This provokes me!!!!! It's enough to see it in the churches, but more than enough to see it on facebook. I really thought many had grown past that "control" issue.
We are workers together with Christ. No where in the scripture does it tell us to present our word that we receive from the Lord to a private screening before delivering it!!!! And, it is time that we speak out concerning these issues, pulling down these strongholds. We will never be free, loosed, if the TRUTH is not spoken clearly. The Word of TRUTH is the only thing that will destroy the yokes that bind the gifts and callings of God. This is the reason the gifted do not stay in many of the churches: they are not free to function in the gifts given to them by the Holy Ghost.
So, yes, it is time to come out fo the cave and speak out. Speak loudly, according to His Word. He will confirm His Word with signs and wonders following them that believe. Will it bring persecution??? Yes!!! But we know already to expect that. But He already told us, "blessed are you that are persecuted for My Name's sakes."
We should no longer tolerate this kind of behavior. When God speaks, say it. If they do not receive it, God will deal according to His great delight. It is His desire that the sleeping giant arise: His Church, that is called by His name.
Arise, arise out of your sleep. Do not stay in your state of slumber, but arise, arise to the heights in which I have delcared are yours to obtain. Take your rightful place, the place that I have called you to.

Amen! Thanks so much for sharing this. I am sensing it is very much time for us to come out of our caves and serve Him and His heart rather than the heart of religion and man.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeanie for taking the time to read. Yes, it is time for us to come out of the caves. We've been hidden just long enough for Him to equip us so that we may be able to stand in the midst of persecution. Not everyone wants to hear THE TRUTH. But it must be spoken nonetheless. He cannot finish the work unless we speak what He has given us to speak.
ReplyDeleteThe Mayan Calendar ends in December 2012, our time is very limited. We must spread the Word like this is the last 18 months we have to do it in. Many out there still have not heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ.Even if Christ does not return and the world keeps on turning, after then, it is imperative that we spread the Gospel now. Every human must have the choice to help build the Kingdom of God. 2011 is the year of the ones, 1-1-11, God said to me if you do all that I ask you to do, take out the hyphens and add commas, for November 11, 2011. 1,111,111,111. That is how many people God is trying to get together to spread His message. The miracles are coming and coming fast, but I see that day and that hour, 11:11 am as the time when God is expecting an arising. A huge arising of over 1 billion people doing something in His Name. Can you see the power of 1 billion people together. God can. He is into multiplication. As you have said, Jeannie, it is time to come out of the caves and begin to speak and do as God has commanded. He is saying 'make the choice now, while there is yet time'. Hallelujah. Thank you for being willing to follow the Spirit at all times. Love you.
ReplyDeleteJeannie,
ReplyDeleteI finally got to read this, after being away from this blog for awhile! The Spirit of God within me bears witness to this truthful statement, and I know exactly what this is talking about personally. I have experienced many places where the gifts of God in me have not been "allowed" to operate because of leadership, even though they have been judged by the congregation and found to be true and of the Holy Spirit. I am learning more and more each day that God is my authority above all, and it is His voice that I will follow, as one of His sheep! Since I have been outside the four walls of the building of a church, I have been used even more mightily by God than ever before. Does that mean I will stay out of "church", not necessarily...but I am not going anywhere the Lord does not lead me, and is not going to be moving by His Holy Spirit...time is too short to waste time in dead places. No more CHURCH....the time is here to AWAKE O sleeper, arise from the DEAD and CHRIST will shine on you!!!! (Ephesians 5:14)
May God bless you all and keep you in Truth, in Jesus' holy name I pray...Amen!
