DOCTRINES OF THE CHURCH

Doctrines have deeply divided much of the "Body of Christ". As I continued to "SEE" (reading between the lines), I realized that much of my testimony of what I see and record would be challenged. This consideration made me question whether I should even share these things, but finally decided that I will leave it up to the Lord to accept or reject what I believe to be from Him. 

 Matthew 7:24

Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

“But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.

There are many church "Denominations" in Christianity.

These denominations are not just different looking or designed buildings, but groups of people gathered together by certain principles and beliefs, ideologies of religious beliefs. Some of these standards of "beliefs" are very old, and many of the attendees are there because of family "tradition", not knowing anything different.

The Warship of my vision is like the parable of Jesus in the "House of the foolish man". "Denominations" have taken biblical scriptures and raised them up as standards for their "Beliefs". Other denominations will choose other verses and do likewise. Disagree and quarrel as they may, they will never defeat the other, because each is  standing on "biblical truth" (Sand).

 PARTICLES OF ROCK ARE SAND

But look again at the scriptures: One built on a "Rock", and the other build on "Sand". 

The Lord showed me that "Sand" is just particles of rock, while the "Rock" is the SOURCE OF THE SAND. The bible without the Spirit of God is just SAND, pieces of truth. The "Rock" that the wise man built on, is RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LIVING GOD.

The "Wise man" dug deep into the SAND (Bible), and discovered the ROCK (Bedrock). Relationship with God our ROCK is the source of all "Sand" (Truth).

There is so much that can be said about this truth. It is critical to understand that it is only by being LED BY THE SPIRIT, that we can know to "DO THIS" or to "DO THAT" and it comes from a Word given IN SEASON. What is "Good" today, may be "DISOBEDIENCE" tomorrow!

The "Wise man" who dug deep until he found "The Rock", is a picture of disciples who walk with the Lord, learning and growing in INTIMACY (Relationship). Once we discover the "ROCK", we desire and continue to uncover MORE. This is the renewing and conversion process.

SPEAKING OF DOCTRINES

I did not become a believer until I was about 50. I did not grow up in Church, or a Church family. Most everything I am sharing is what has been revealed to me thru my spiritual walk with the Lord, not OTHERS. Without intending to, this has become my own personal "doctrine" because it is what I personally BELIEVE. This is not intended to be a teaching but a personal TESTIMONY.
