God Thinking is a
series of discussions on how to put on the mind of Christ. And in so studying the Word of God, we are
learning and unlearning, learning truths new to us and unlearning old, stale
and non-biblical precepts that have been handed down by religious doctrines of
men.
Religion has taken
its toll on believing men and women.
Religion has robbed
many of a personal relationship with God.
It’s religion that has placed trappings in our way - unhealthy rules and
laws of faith that pertain to the perpetuation of the denomination more than of
the impartation of revelation.
Why am I bringing
this up?
From creation to
Abraham was about two thousand years.
After 1,700 years of God striving with man and their independence and
segregation from God, God destroyed all living souls, except for a few that
had caught the vision of what God was doing in their time. Try to hold that
thought, a few had caught the vision of what God was trying to do in their time
According
to the scriptures, “Where there is no vision, the people perish...” Proverbs 29:18
Noah’s
call to build an ark was unusual and definitely went against mainstream thought
at the time. But as silly as it seemed,
Noah built an ark and eight souls were saved.
300
hundred years later God makes a covenant with
Abraham. During this time God also provides man with
revelation of His law’s for mankind. God
also provided His people with universal laws concerning how to live, what to
eat, how to give, and how to be in the presence of God.
God set
up the outer court, the inner court and the Holy of Holies.
God
called out His people and established Israel.
God sent His prophets and they cried out truth upon truth, year after
year for more than 1,000 years.
God
revealed in His prophetic Word the outcome of nations, kings, cities and
individuals.
God
reveals the big picture, and the little picture. God walks with His children with fire by
night and clouds by day.
And a few
caught the vision. A few caught the vision,
not because God did not adequately reveal Himself, but as John said in John
3:19..., that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather
than light, because their deeds were evil.”
