Midnight Rant

It's almost 1:00 A.M. I'm waiting up for my wife. I had a busy fun day. Now I'm just going to listen to music and type my thoughts. They may make sense or they may not.

I heard someone say last week that the state of the world can be blamed entirely on Christians. I agree, even though that includes me. We have the resources of Heaven in us, at our fingertips, but we'd rather take control of our faith from the Holy Spirit and turn it into a religion and focus on our doctrine. We so easily forget that Jesus is the one living through us. If we were walking in the power and love that Jesus walked in, no one would need health care. They would have us, or rather, Jesus in us, our Healer. Instead we create a cessationist faithless doctrine to justify our fear, and the only people willing to answer the cry of society are Chicago politicians whose policies are akin to Nazism. God bless our president. He is a blessing. He is trying to solve the worlds problems. His solutions will only create more problems, but no one else is doing anything.

That is a little depressing, I'll change the subject.

The world won't have to wait much longer. Radical lovers of Jesus are coming out of their closets and into the battlefield of society. They're not the religious. They are the cold AND the hot. The lukewarm will be their most harsh persecutors. Religion is always the most vicious enemy of God's people. There will be a revolution in the church. Doctrine is not enough. It doesn't teach you how to enjoy God. Nothing does. You just do it. There is no doctrine that will teach you how to seek God. You just do it. There is no doctrine that will teach you how to prophesy. You just get up on Daddy's lap and ask Him if there's anything He wants to say to those around us. It is His Heart. He wants us to know His Heart. He wants the world to know His Heart. He's not mad. He is crazy about humanity. We are His most precious creation. He made us in His image. Just like a parent who holds his/her child for the first time, He looks at us and tears begin to fall from His eyes. This is it. This is where His joy originates. He loves us this much. He loves us more. Our traditions and our doctrines seem so meaningless when the Father is looking into your eyes and feeling a pleasure that no human could ever imagine. Imagine the pleasure it takes to please God. That is a BIG pleasure. That is what He feels when He looks at humanity. That's how He feels when He looks at me.
