I just love evangelists who today think they've really found some new and tantalizing, shall we say, mind blowing way to present the bigness of God and the personal nature of God- because they are doing work that is so important- and yet, with a sad countenance I also know they are staying boxed into a theology not designed to the age they are preaching in. This isn't anything new, Prophets have always been ahead of human controls, and prophesy wasn't sealed with the last book of Canon, The Revelation of Christ, rather, John in writing that would say that the doors to Prophesy, as a New Testament gift from God, are blown wide open. But here is the thing, each time we gain insight, we also tend to take a while to incorporate that insight into our belief systems- which means, folks who should get the light, get the shaft, which isn't what God intended when he imparted the gift to the prophet. Think of it this way- God wants people that he loves to come out of this experience a certain way, and who does God love(?)- Oh O.K., you're gonna say, "well the whole world man...," Yes I would agree with you, so, how come prophets get into the situations that they do, and then the people get into the situations that they do? Should be the other way around? Watch out about prophets, when a person is given the gift of prophecy, which essentially means they are probably, personally going to be miserable- because they will know, what's potentially going to be a disaster, can be avoided, but likely won't be; so the prophet is left inside the dilemma, not outside it. Jesus said it this way,
If Ihadnotcome and spoken unto them, they hadnothad sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
Imagine that the creator of the Universe, God, is in human flesh, that would be Jesus, and imagine what He sees when He prays? Imagine what His Father tries to guide Him into, because imagine what His mission is? It's one thing to be a criminal and be guilty of a crime and so the state tries to kill you, but it is another thing entirely, to be guiltless and force the authorities, who the Bible says are appointed by whom(?)- to kill you? Yup - I just love modern evangelists who find mind blowing things to share with people, in my heart of hearts it's my prayer to somebody that they would pay a little bit more attention to the meaning of the one thing Jesus said mattered; love. See everybody today points to Christ's statement that the law is summed up in two principles, without realizing, both of those aren't possible without - love.
