"It is obvious what kind of life develops out of trying to get your own way all the time: repetitive, loveless, cheap sex; a stinking accumulation of mental and emotional garbage; frenzied and joyless grabs for happiness; trinket gods; magic-show religion; paranoid loneliness; cutthroat competition; all-consuming-yet-never-satisfied wants; a brutal temper; an impotence to love or be loved; divided homes and divided lives; small-minded and lopsided pursuits; the vicious habit of depersonalizing everyone into a rival; uncontrolled and uncontrollable addictions; ugly parodies of community. I could go on. This isn't the first time I have warned you, you know. If you use your freedom this way, you will not inherit God's kingdom." (Galations 5:19-21, The Message) Some things don't need an explanation or any type of additional commentary. Like the above verse taken from the Message Bible, its straight forward and to the point. Be watching for a new breed of minister coming on the scene in these last days. Not the ear tickling, let me scratch your back, feed you a bunch of nonsense while I pick your wallet, kind of preacher. But ones that will hear from God and deliver a message from His throne that will make an impact. Their one purpose will be to challenge God's people to come up higher. I believe they exist now, laboring in obscurity while God prepares them. The past two weeks I've heard from two of these kind of ministers, unknown to the church in general, yet known in Heaven by the angels and in Hell by the demons! And when God releases them it will be said as it was of Jesus in Matt 7:28-29 "And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes." And that my friends is the reality of it!
