It sure is funny how the disciples and apostles of Christ preached and taught the mysteries of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God without any formal education, training, license, ordination or sanction from a body of judicial jurisprudence or ecclesiastical oversight.

It sure is peculiar how the born again Holy Spirit endowed believers in Christ wrote sermons, taught lessons and preached salvation without the benefit of formal training in hermeneutics and homiletics.

In these modern times, we must now acquire a ministerial license and/or ordination papers in order to be accepted, respected and recognized as a divine messenger from Father God. If we are not sanctioned by some mainstream denomination or religious sect and if we don’t have at least an undergraduate degree, then our message and our ministry aren’t taken seriously.

In this end-time generation and culture, it has become popular to attain academic and ecclesiastical titles of honor and prestige, erroneously equating human achievements with divine anointing, Godly calling and moral credibility. This sometimes is known as credentialism.

Parenthetically speaking, I wish that I was never licensed as a reverend or called elder, minister or bishop. The way that Satan has perverted the perception of these offices into something hierarchal is sickening to me and contrary to God’s way. It is more than enough for me to be known as God’s man.

We have become a generation dependent upon our intellect, imagination, ingenuity, philosophies, skills and validations.

What happened to the genuinely called, sent, Holy Spirit empowered and Holy Ghost led man of God?

Where has the Holy Ghost gone?

Was He ever here?

It is sad that many pastors and preachers have never experienced the true power and anointing of the Holy Spirit – The Spirit that confirms salvation and acceptance by God, reveals the Truth of God and The Mysteries of God’s Word.

Needless to say, those who do not have the Sprit of Christ do not belong to Christ and therefore cannot speak for Christ. However, some still dare pretend to speak for God although they don’t have God’s Holy Spirit.

Maybe they are confused and just don’t know any better. Perhaps some are in the dark and unconscious of their lost condition and delusional state. Maybe they have mistakenly interpreted their intelligence, talent and charisma for the Divine Call of God.  Maybe they have allowed others to convince them that they are something that they are not.

Undoubtedly there are millions who have been beguiled by the great deceiver into believing the lie, preaching the lie and teaching others to believe in the lie. Thus the cycle of deception continues perpetually.

REPENT!

I DID.

If you are truly called and sent by Father God with His divine Word, no power on earth can annul what God has ordained. And if you are not called and sent by Father God with His divine Word, no power on earth may sanction you as God’s messenger.

May The Lord be pleased to forgive me for my past mistakes of conferring ministerial licenses and ordination certificates to those who were not of The Body and ignorant of the TRUTH.  I confess that I too was beguiled and deceived at one time and willingly perpetuated the tradition of lies.

“Many went but not all were sent.”

REPENT!!!
