I DESPISE RELIGION
Every tree, every bird, every plant, every animal, every fish, every
insect, every cloud, every planet, every star, every snow flake, every rain drop
and every human being, is different, just to name a few. This is the joy of your
creator God, always creating originals. All of heaven is puzzled at the modern
day human copy cat religious services. Doing the same old thing over and over
and over and over. Many people who say they hate religion, yet practice it
faithfully. There are very few spiritual services built on a relationship
between you and your brothers and sisters. There are almost none, built on a
relationship between you and Me. Almost all church services are set up with a
performance and entertainment mentality, making the theater and the church
indistinguishable.
Why do church leaders expect different results when you continually do the
same thing over and over and over. They build a stage, why? Because there is
going to be a performance. They put the seats in rows, why? Because there is
going to be an audience. Then they add all the frills, sound, lights, special
effects, why? Because there is going to be an entertaining show. Everyone who
attends knows the routine so well, they choose when they will show up, when they
will go to the bathroom, and when they will leave. The stage manager (pastor)
writes the format, and the performers follow their cue. If anyone misses their
cue, everyone becomes nervous, because it looks bad to the restless audience,
looking for the best show in town.
Great sounding songs usually three, one fast, and two slow, to set the
mood. announcement, a collection, 30 minutes of talking, some times it's
preaching, and sometimes it's teaching, but a lot of talking. Then the ten
minute prayer time signifies the show is over! Millions of services every week,
with no creativity, same ole, same ole, year in and year out. Everyone is
promised they will not go out the same way they came in, but they do! What about
relationship? What about a body? A religious body consists of two parts, a cast
of performers and an audience. Entertainers and those being entertained. That's
religion, "But My Father has placed and arranged you, the limbs and organs in a
body, each particular one of them, just as He wished and saw fit and with the
best adaptation. [19] But if the whole were all a single organ, where would the
body be? [20] And now there are certainly many limbs and organs, but a single
body." 1 Corinthians 12:18-20 (AMP)
Many people go from one church building to another in search of this body,
that I am trying to put together. The western mindset is beyond changing! When
you say the word church, to them you mean a building, with a stage, and
seating, and the bigger it is, the more godly it is! The the decision on which
one to attend, is based on who has the best show! Because this mindset is so
strong I have decided to let it die off with boredom, and raise up a new
generation who will let Me build My body. An organism where, the eye is not able
to say to the hand, I have no need of you, nor again the head to the feet, I
have no need of you. [22] But instead, there is absolute necessity for the parts
of the body that are considered the more weak.
[23] And those parts of the body which we consider rather ignoble are the
very parts which we invest with additional honor, and our unseemly parts and
those unsuitable for exposure are treated with seemliness (modesty and decorum),
[24] Which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so adjusted
(mingled, harmonized, and subtly proportioned the parts of) the whole body,
giving the greater honor and richer endowment to the inferior parts which lack
apparent importance,
I will do this so [25] that there will be no division or discord or lack of
adaptation of the parts of the body to each other, but the members all alike
should have a mutual interest in and care for one another. [26] And if one
member suffers, all the parts share the suffering; if one member is honored, all
the members share in the enjoyment of it. [27] Now you collectively are Christ's
body and individually you are members of it, each part severally and distinct
each with his own place and function. [28] So God has appointed some in the
church for His own use: first apostles (special messengers); second prophets
(inspired preachers and expounders); third teachers; then wonder-workers; then
those with ability to heal the sick; helpers; administrators; speakers in
different (unknown) tongues." 1 Corinthians 12:21-28 (AMP)
Note: The starving street kid is looking for food, not a show!
The unemployed dad looking for a job, not a show!
The lonely shut-in wants a visit, not a show!
The naked want some clothes, not a show! What you do for them you do for
Me, and I for sure, am not looking for a show!!! THERE ARE NO PERFORMERS AND NO
AUDIENCES IN MY KINGDOM, ONLY BODY MEMBERS!
