Are you of the persuasion that God thinks thoughts of you and toward you?
What a time we live in. God is not much on peoples mind. Don't mis-read what I am saying. There are plenty of people going to Church, plenty of religious ceremonies, plenty of programs for all kinds of things. There is even some spiritual talk among believers and unbelievers. Unbelievers act like they know as much as believers. So the unbelieving world not only co-mingles with the believing world, but they are bent on teaching the believing world how to believe correctly.
All the religious dribble that I have heard doesn't add up to hardly a moment with God. There is all kinds of religious talk that leads to more religious talk, but the end result is more talk. A spiritually watered down society of misfits we are. Any time someone really hits on something truly amazing concerning God and man, they are kind of considered a little goofy. The unbelieving and the poorly trained Christian judging the man or woman of God with something to say. That's where we are right now.
There is nothing wrong with being holy, living holy and operating under the direct leadership of the Holy Spirit as lead by the inner man. Mention holy living today and even the pastors cringe, because worldly living has become acceptable in the inner circles of organized religion. In order to keep the coffers filled many pastors will say anything, whether lead by the Spirit of God or not. I'm not calling out for new leaders. I am calling out for individuals that are willing to take God seriously and find the gems of truth under the rocks of mystery: Individuals that aren't satisfied with a mediator between them and God; someone that demands of themself to be honest with God and go to God to partake of God and offer themself to God without conditions.
The bottom line: Stop looking for someone to follow that knows God better than you. You be the one. Get to know God better yourself.
