The Way of the Lord Jesus Christ, Beyond Our Ways (Edited by ChatGPT)
Our goal is to
make sure the true gospel in its purity is preached, so the world has a chance
to know the real Jesus Christ from the Bible. All those who live in darkness
because they did not accept Jesus as Lord, all those who accept Jesus as Lord
and are born again but are not obedient to the law of the Spirit to grow into
the image of Jesus, and all those who tag themselves with the name “Christian”
— and what is funny, even “the Church of God” — but who are idol worshipers
(Orthodox, Catholic, Mormons, and so on) and who have nothing to do with Jesus,
are called to the truthful gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. This is our
purpose, and this is our goal.
Now, who has
the true gospel? I am sure nobody. Even among the born-again faithful, nobody
has the true gospel, because the way of the flesh and the way of the devil are
mixed with the pure gospel of the Lord. I can pick my favorite preachers that I
think teach the Word of God, but you can see failures everywhere. It is not
hard to detect those failures, but they grow around them until they know it is
a lie. And when you turn the mirror back to me, I am sure Jesus can list
endless theological mistakes in my ideas. As I am learning, I also clean my own
errors over time.
No one is
theologically perfect, except Jesus, but that does not mean all are equal. If
you put the devil and his ways on one extreme and Jesus and his ways on
another, all of us are somewhere in the middle — though some are closer to
Jesus and some more devilish. I am sure the dead religions (Orthodox and
Catholic) are nothing but funeral houses, where the dead are robed in linen
cloth to be buried 11 feet underground, rather than the living being dressed
with Jesus. Our purpose is to save those who are meant for eternal damnation
inside those funeral houses so they can gain eternal life.
Even among the
born-again faithful — the living, who are also mixed with the weed of the devil
as the net has all kinds of things — we are not all equal. Some are very lost,
like the Word of Faith and prosperity gospel, which are nothing but the devil’s
horse, and some are relatively better but also lost to some degree. Why?
Because nobody can see Jesus in our lives, and that includes me. If we talk
like Jesus, smell like Jesus, walk like Jesus, and all that radiates from us is
Jesus, then we are Jesus’s own, his slaves. But where are such faithful like
Paul, Peter, and John? That is how far we are from Jesus. As I look in the
Bible and try to correct myself, no matter my failures, I say: look in the
Bible and grow into Jesus too.
Does this mean
all Word of Faith and prosperity gospel preachers are of the devil? I can be
sure the top of those movements are devil-influenced, and they actually believe
the devil who talks to them is God. They are wealthy in both things of the
flesh and things of the devil, because they live by the flesh, and the flesh is
obedient to the way of the devil. The devil talks openly through them, and
people still think it is God talking. This shows how far our faith has fallen.
The devil is easy to detect, and still it does not feel wrong to us, because we
are also corrupted beings without spiritual growth.
But neither
all wealthy preachers nor all who follow those damnations — Word of Faith and
prosperity gospel — are from the devil. Listen to what they teach, where they
focus, what motivates them, and their entire manner. In some, you can sense
Jesus; in others, you sense the devil. Some are earthly, but some are heavenly,
though mixed with the weed of the devil. Since they mix and deceive each other,
they often repeat the abominations of both Word of Faith and prosperity gospel,
but all are not equal. The good ones may even stand in the first row to crucify
you because you reject their damnation, yet still you can sense Jesus in them.
Our focus is
on Jesus, and wherever his fragrance is, that is what we love, because our
thing is Jesus’s thing. So if you remove the theological fight between us and
how they respond in the flesh toward us, their talk, focus, interest, and will
are not earthly but heavenly. They just have bad company and with it bad
theology. Their body is Jesus, but dressed in the devil’s garment (Word of
Faith and prosperity gospel). We are trying to give them the garment of Jesus
back.
Our purpose is
to direct those listening to the devil toward the road of God, the way of
Jesus. To those on the road of Jesus but trying to hang on to the devil too, we
work hard to separate them from the things of the devil so they can run fast to
God through Jesus.
Then there are
those who have sound doctrine but are still mixed with theological sins of
their experience and education. Our purpose is to make sure they have brothers
and sisters to lean on so they can stand with right theology. Even among those
who know what is coming in the near future, there is a lot of dirt they need to
vomit out. I am sure God guided them to know what is coming, but they also
drank other waters, and those two cannot add up into one truth. Remember John,
who declared Jesus but never understood Jesus.
This is why we
say to elders: correct yourselves before God sends his correcting hand. Do not
worship yourselves to promote your will as the will of God and your ignorance
as the truth of God. Look in the Bible, find Jesus, and try to correct
yourselves until his image is printed on you. Faith is not politics, but what
you do is politics, not faith. Politics is foolish masses led by tricky leaders
who know better. Faith is the wise and all-knowing God judging the stupid
faithful — us. It is not about what you convince yourself of or what you
convince anyone of, but what God knows. Are you pure and growing in purity in
the eyes of God? Look in the mirror (the Bible) and correct yourself until you
become more and more like Jesus. Our purpose is not to sing for your glory but
for the glory of God. That is why we sing the Bible, not your theology and
desires. You are giants of the Lord, right? Then serve the most, and that is in
humility, because your treasure will be in heaven. Look in the mirror — the
Bible — and that is what the Bible says.
This is why,
to those who are lost in the prosperity gospel and Word of Faith movement, and
who are listening to the devil thinking it is Jesus, the death of faith started
at the top. Within your abomination, the top leaders (not all of them) are
listening to the devil. Know it is the devil preaching to you, and the one you
obey is the devil. It is not Jesus.
To those who
are mixed up with them but who hold the core faith and Word of God, our message
is: get out of Egypt into the Promised Land. Jesus is about the spiritual life
of holiness, love, kindness, justice, fairness, and all the essences of Jesus —
not wealth and health. Let us measure our success by how many Jesus lookalikes God
built through us, not by our wealth, health, or the number of fake “faithful”
who live by the way of the flesh for the flesh. I am sure Jeremiah was more
successful than the temple leaders, because his way led to heaven while their
way led to Babylon. I am sure the temple leaders could say to Jeremiah, “We are
big people who run big institutions,” but it is better to be alive and alone
than to be a leader of the dead in hell.
To those who
know what is coming but are still mixing human garbage and theology with the
pure Word of God, open yourselves for reeducation. Just as John the Baptist
knew what was coming but did not understand what it actually was, you have the
same problem. You are thinking in the flesh to build empires of the flesh, just
like John, but Jesus has another plan — and that is the salvation of all. The
workers of God must follow the footsteps of Jesus to save all, not to build
kingdoms for themselves. Your kingdom is not coming; Jesus’s is coming.
Whatever work
God will do is to declare Jesus in purity as it is written in the Bible. It is
all about Jesus and all he teaches us to be. These things have nothing to do
with development, world domination, 7 mountains, or any human ways. It is about
teaching the real Jesus Christ in his purity. Not the “killer Jesus,” but the
Jesus who loves all. Not the “greedy Jesus,” but Jesus who gives his life for
worthless sinners. Not the “national or ethnic Jesus,” but the Lord of lords
and King of kings in heaven with heavenly truth rather than earthly
abominations. Jesus and the Holy Spirit are not here to affirm us but to affirm
Jesus and to guide us away from darkness into all truth. Let us wait to be
guided by God, rather than channeling God through our dirty tunnels.
But who is
going to declare the pure truth about Jesus? Not us, because we are still John
the Baptist. We know enough, but not all of it. The truth will be made known
with greater clarity as the work of the Holy Spirit ignites further. When God
begins his work, he will teach us the truth about Jesus by depending on the
Bible. He will open our eyes to all truth in the Bible, yet he will not affirm
any of us. But how do we know what is what? See the fruit. Does it grow you
into the authentic Jesus, or into the world, or into the devil? That is the
test. It must produce faithful who imitate Jesus as true disciples of the Lord.
It will not imitate the “giant” leaders of the faith, as is the culture of this
age, but only the one giant faithful — the Lord Jesus Christ.
This is what
we expect. So let us imagine what the disciples of John needed from the temple
leaders. Nothing but their repentance. This is not the time to mix wheat with
weed but to separate the wheat from the weed. If John had mixed with the temple
leaders or sinners, the temple leaders would have boxed him under their
abomination they called theology (their law), and sinners would have sold him
to their master, death through sin. That is why John had to shout from the
desert for repentance, saying, “Repent and turn back to God,” rather than
networking with death.
