LR'S Wobbly Soap Box Rantings
What I am about to post was a comment I WAS SPIRITUALLY MOVED and COMPELLED to write in response to one of Netty's recent blogs called, FACEBOOK FRIENDING FANATICS ANONYMOUS!
When Spirit moves you move with Spirit. If you don't you will be left watching, wondering and in a spiritual drunken stupor. Since Abba called me to a 10 day water fast a few weeks back due to my poor eating habits, pains in my body, lack of energy, etc. There was also a strong desire burning in me to be better equipped and spiritually sharpened with the gift of hearing Abba has given, to rightly discern, getting more alone with Father and being spiritually fit (in His Truth, wisdom and understanding) for the benefit of His Body.
There were some immediate changes that I wouldn't KNOW where to begin. I have blogged about some of those changes, but what I am hearing now is the NEED to pull away from the whole social networking venue. To limit my time from the sinister distractions and trappings of the NET / WEB. Brother Thomas has been recently blogging and talking about this pulling away more to counteract the intense mind control that goes on. Not to mention some of the other MIND BENDING BS that I sense is getting Much worse, bizarre and surreal as we head more into 2011.
I will also post a link to a short blog from, " In the World Not Of The World" called, The Counterfeit Pattern. It ties in well with what I am hearing Spirit saying to me more on a personal level.
So on with LR'S Wobbly Soap Box Rantings~
I think a LOT of " Christians" out there would do well to copy and paste this on their blogger, wall and/or wherever you have a lot of exposer to others in the various social network settings. (http://besanctified.blogspot.com/2011/02/im-recovering-facebook-friending.html) SO MUCH comes to heart and mind after reading this, Netty. First I want to say with all the surrounding BS, you have quite a sense of humor. LOLOL
There is a verse in one of the Psalms that says, " with many words sin is not absent." Well I also believe this applies to the very word, " MANY" itself. MANY are called, but few are chosen. Broad is the road leading to destruction and MANY there be that follow it, but NARROW is the road leading to life and only FEW find it.
So I would have to conclude that along with the " mega" (MANY = millions of) churches, sin surely is not absent! Would you agree? In fact, I find that those who have MANY that surround them or would deem as friends and supporters for whatever purpose, motive or reasoning, sin is knocking hard at the door. (Such as pride, ego, scripture bashing, status, popularity, insecurity, SELF righteousness, and on and on.)
WHO TOLD YOU or ME to reach the MANY? Yes, it does say in His Word to go into all the world and preach the gospel, baptizing in the Name of Yahweh, Yeshua and His Spirit and to make disciples of all nations . IS THAT WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON WITH YOU AND I when it comes to facebook or any other socialistic networks? This Word also implies to mobility. Not being in one place when we show others the gospel by our LIFE, ACTIONS and example, not how MANY friends one has that we JUST MIGHT be reaching for " Jesus."
Paul said, " I become all things to all people that I might win some." NOT, I have many friends that might hear a Word here and there (the copy and paste gospel) so that I might win some.
AD NAUSIUM!!!
Oh yes, I can't forget this most important MANY that Spirit just reminded me of.
MANY on that day will come to me saying, LORD, LORD, did WE not prophecy in Your Name? Cast out devils, heal the sick and raise the dead in Your Name? What did Yeshua say? DEPART FROM ME FOR I N E V E R KNEW YOU! You who PRACTICE lawlessness! You mean all these things we do for Jesus and the MANY we might be touching could bring such a response? WOW!
SELAH THESE WORDS LONG AND HARD. It could mean your very soul if you don't GET THIS!
This is what I have been shown about this Word. All these ones who have said, DIDN'T I or WE? DID YOU CATCH THAT? What the MANY did in His Name was done in the flesh and not because HE called them to do it. That is the sin of lawlessness, SELF! WHEN you truly KNOW HIM, then when HE says go here, do this or do that, WE DO IT! WHEN HE SAYS to pull back and retreat, WE DO IT! Not when brother so and so says, Someone you look up to says, I say or anyone else.
Ok, time for me to get down off my wobbly soap box. UH OH....... CRASH..... OUCH, THAT HURT! So much for that wobbly soapbox! ;) Just a few cuts and bruises when you stretch yourself out to speak Truth, LOL. BUT it's worth it to follow Yeshua and reach for and STRAIN toward the upward call of Abiding and living with Him in eternity. OH WHAT A GLORIOUS TIME THAT WILL BE!

Linda, Thank you for his "ranting"! The internet certainly can be a wonderful tool for getting ministry out and fellowshiping long distance. But so many words fly hither and thither without much consideration for the book of James and the fact that those words are a "rudder" and set "ablaze" perpetuating so much sin. As Ravenhill said it best... "we called it uncivilized when an indian shot an arrow to kill, and call it progress when we can detinate an atomic button with the push of a button". Well, not verbatim but close to his comment. Keep ranting, I love your rants, they help keep me on the straight and narrow. Netty
