The Holy Spirit has impressed upon my heart the word: ((BALANCE)). I hear Him saying: "Where are My TRUE SERVANTS at? Those who are WILLING TO SACRIFICE WHATEVER IT TAKES to allow Me to work in them to reach the heart's of the people? Those who are NOT AFRAID to take a STAND FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS? Where are those BOLD and COURAGEOUS enoug...h to speak WHAT-SO-EVER it is that I will have them to speak?! Where are My TRUE CHILDREN at?! Where are those of you who are more concerned with OFFENDING ME, than you are offending MAN?! WHERE ARE YOU CHILDREN?!!"
See, too MANY are only speaking what the *ITCHING EARS WANT TO HEAR!* They are NOT speaking what people NEED to hear! They are teaching and preaching about how God is a GOD OF LOVE & MERCY, but they aren't teaching that this SAME God of love and mercy, is also a GOD OF WRATH & JUDGMENT! They are teaching all about the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN and how GREAT it is/will be; but they leave out the REALITIES OF HELL, and how horrific IT will be! And yes, there are some speaking the OPPOSITE! They are speaking only about CONVICTION & CONDEMNATION, but leaving out CONFESSION & REPENTANCE! There must be a BALANCE or you are NOT teaching the COMPLETE Gospel! You are NOT showing people- nor leading them to the One TRUE GOD!
Every message can not be CONVICTION messages or the people will feel HELPLESS and HOPELESS when in reality there IS help and hope in CHRIST! They will NOT turn away from their sin, because they'll feel they don't deserve it! And by that same token, we can't teach LOVE messages all the time, or people will REMAIN in their sin! They will CHEAPEN GOD'S GRACE and deceive themselves thinking they can do whatever they want with no consequences! THERE MUST BE BALANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And we MUST be sure that we are speaking ONLY as- and EXACTLY as the Holy Spirit leads us! We can't SUGARCOAT a message from God. In so doing, we are preaching a WATERED DOWN GOSPEL! We can't add more 'FIRE' to the messages in an attempt to CONTROL & MANIPULATE people either! God's Word has enough POWER of it's own! He does NOT need our help! Doing either of these things, is preaching a gospel, that is really NO GOSPEL AT ALL! We have become MESSENGERS OF SATAN instead of MESSENGERS OF GOD! It is satan who MIXES just enough TRUTH with his lies in order to DECEIVE! All God asks us to do, is DELIVER His messages accordingly! People can ACCEPT it or they can REJECT it; but that's not OUR problem! They can take that up with GOD! We are to do OUR parts as HE leads, and leave the rest up to God! He is more than able! Selah! ~L.Scott~ (Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit)
{2 Timothy 4:3-5}- For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 5 But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
{2 Corinthians 11:13-15}- For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
{Galatians 1:6-8}- I am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God, who called you to himself through the loving mercy of Christ. You are following a different way that pretends to be the Good News 7 but is not the Good News at all. You are being fooled by those who deliberately twist the truth concerning Christ.8 Let God’s curse fall on anyone, including us or even an angel from heaven, who preaches a different kind of Good News than the one we preached to you.
{2 Timothy 3:16-17}- 16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
