So, What’s The Lord Saying Or Doing? (12/8/2008)

It is my belief that we Christians depend too much on what an individual pastor or an individual prophet or another anointed person thinks that he (or she) is hearing from the Lord, rather than trying to hear for ourselves or listening to many different voices from all over the Body of Christ. Dependence on just an anointed few is a guaranteed recipe for failure.

So, each day, I invite you to write what you believe the Lord is telling you, showing you, or doing for you. Testimonies. Short teachings. Prophetic words. Scriptures. Prayers. Whatever you believe that the Body of Christ needs to know or will be blessed by hearing. Try to keep your words under 250 words. And if you need to, attach a link to your site for longer messages.

    On Saturday, christianranter (http://christianranter.wordpress.com/) commented that my little effort to allow lay people – a label I hate – to speak was akin to “what motivated a few to start the protestant movement.” He added that this was a way of “breaking the cycle of having to go to a religious leader to receive word from on high.”

    To be honest, this is my motive for this ongoing post.

    For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. (1 Timothy 2:5)

    For us Christians to ever achieve our proper roles in the Royal Priesthood, we need to remove the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers from their unscriptural mediator-clergy roles and put them back into their proper places amongst the brethren.

    One of the best ways to do that is by allowing believers a platform to speak from. And also, by telling everyone that nothing is too minor because – who knows – that minor idea might be a major word for someone else.
