PROVERBS 5:13-14
13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
Can you hear The Lord, oh how I love HIM!! GOD gives us Pastors, teachers for a reason, we are to OBEY them and EXTEND our ears to them for instruction and reproof and growth.
Jer 3:15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
See how pastors and teachers are in the verse that means they do both jobs they are together not separate the same job.
Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
If we would only submit our self to the edifying from the Pastors and teachers we might be able to be perfect like the verse states. This is GODs will for our life but we walk around like we do not need a teacher or Pastor. We get out of Church and 30 minutes later we are doing exactly what the Pastor said not to be doing, the problem with that is we not only disobey the Pastor but we are disobeying The LORD too!
1 Thes 4:8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
We all need to wake up and incline our ears to the word, The Lord and to The Pastors and teachers because what happens when we don’t is this,
Prov 5:14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
Sad to say but some people never make it back from this. This is why I love The LORD so much He tells us everything from beginning to the end and all the consequences of all our actions, the only thing we will be able to say at the judgment seat is we did not love HIM. JESUS tells us all this, there are no excuses, just rejection!
Jud 1:7-13 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
Please understand that I have found myself in these shoes and it’s scary Glory to GOD for waking me up. We all do it and some don’t come back I just care about all of you and praying that we would all wake up and see it really and truly is all about JESUS, we all say that but do we really get it?
