God created us to commune directly with Himself. He did not create us to have someone else be a “MIDDLE” man to talk to us or for us to talk to Him. Yet, religion/denomination”, teaches (or directs one in the direction) that the “Pastor/Leaders” of the “Church/Denomination” will hear God for us and then inform us what we are to be doing AND how we should be doing it.Jesus did not tell the Apostles nor did He intend for us to sit and allow "Man/Religion/Pharisees/Denomination" to strap us to a pew and adhere to their laws and/or codes to worship and praise God. We were created by God to commune directly with Him and we do not need a ”MIDDLE" man to speak to God for us or to speak to us for God!!! God CREATED us as special unique individuals in His image with His creativity in us.
In John 14:26, Jesus said, "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach YOU all things...” In John 14:16
"And I (Jesus) will pray the Father (God), and He will send you another Helper (Holy Spirit), the He may abide with you forever.” Jesus did not say that the Father would speak to you through another person as He did to the Israelites in the Old Testament. We are under “GRACE”, not the law. We can enter into God’s heavenly presence because Jesus (GRACE) rent the veil for us. We can commune directly with God! All we have to do is hear Him as he directs us to be creative for Him.
We were created to be whom God has created us to be! We were not created to be whom "Man/Religion/Denomination" binds or shackle us to be. Open your ears, open your eyes, hear God and obey to be the creative individual He wants you to be for Him.
I once had someone take a tambourine away from me when we were worshipping God because my “Beat” was not their “Beat”! Many present looked without care or concern, many laughed about what happened. Looking at it now, I believe God shed a tear because I was worshipping in in the creative way He wanted me to worship and I allowed the rules of “MAN” to dictate to me how the sound must be to worship God. He was enjoying the joyful sound I was making in worshipping Him. In Psalm 89:15 It is written “Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your countenance”.
I will allow the creativity of God to flow through me as He wants it to flow. I will not allow “Man/Religion/Denomination” to shackle me into doing things their way. I will make a joyful sound unto the Lord!!!
WHAT WILL YOU DO?
By the Grace of Jesus, all of this is what we will be teaching in Finland and wherever else God directs to go by His voice or buy invitation. We need only to hear the Holy Spirit in us and obey to allow God's creativity to flow out of us.
Amen!!!! So many times man has taught us we need to hear God through man, but we are created to hear Him by ourselves and to communicate directly with Him. We can't be in relationship with someone through other person, not with people, not with God. Relationship requires I am involved with it. Being in the relationship with the Lord by myself brings out the Joyful sound unto the Lord for I hear Him and I walk with Him.
