Flourishing Or Floundering

One of the main tactics the father of lies employs is to convince us that things are all quiet on the religious front, while simultaneously trying to keep hidden from us that there’s an accelerated exodus taking place within organized, institutionalized religion. This is reminiscent of the scene in the movie The Wizard of Oz, in which the fraudulent so-called “wizard”, having been shown up for the fraud he really is, bellows out, “Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!”

I’m sure there are more reasons than any of us know as to the reasons for this exodus, but I am wondering if their Heavenly Father is doing what he does best, namely, beginning to reveal and make real His life in them as them, which is totally incongruent with a value or virtue-based approach to life and living.

Is it possible that our brother Paul’s insightful warning was prompted by an inside knowledge of the wiles of the Prince of Darkness?

“Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart”

Is it possible that even we, His sons, can have a darkened, ignorant understanding which can effectively cut off or alienate us from knowing and experiencing the true source of our only Life?

There will always be a select few superheroes who, due to their “natural” or soul-based predisposition outwardly appear to excel and flourish as they operate within a values (a.k.a. ‘law’) based religious environment, but for the vast majority of us mere civilians it will hit us sooner rather than later that at best, we are floundering!

I am including something from Oz Chambers that fleshes this out with much more insight and detail. You can read it here.

Why Didn’t I think of This

Hey dude, aren’t you Saul of Tarsus? Yes, I mean no, well I use to be, I now go by the name of Paul the Apostle of grace.
Are you still into that Jehovah religion thing? No, not really, I’m into Jesus now, and man talk about a huge demographic this is, its total virgin territory with so many pagan Gentiles ripe for the picking.
Yeah as a matter of fact this revelation thing that I received from Jesus, I’m now working on condensing this encrypted mystery gospel into a formula based thing called, ‘The Grace Walk’. Wow, that sounds cool, is there money to be made in this stuff?
Loads of it man, hand over fist money, I just have to fine tune this message and set it up whereby those who are ‘saved’ they can read only what I put up on my blog, but for those who will support ‘my ministry’ with a monetary gift, and that will be determined by how much they can get by how much the commit to financially. Yeah I can see the dough flooding in now, easy street here I come.

See the deal is, as long as they don’t know that they have free total access to all that God has for them individually, then I will convince them that their continued growth will be a moot point without hearing my special revelatory insights, but of course this is going to cost them big time.I’m hoping that buying into this set up will provoke those on the fringe of Graceland to see how foolish they are thinking that they can have a vital relationship with God apart from what I know and have to offer them.
Anyway, I need to focus on getting my next blog-podcast up and running, I have laced these with some powerful enticements to cause them to dig in even deeper so that might feel they are the choose few…damn this Jesus message, grace walk thang is so slick.


Has the Mystery Gospel been condensed, reduced into a ‘Grace Walk’ message, no longer needing to rely upon the Father of our spirit to enlighten us? Technology is so cool isn’t it, now we can learn what Paul did, only we can shorten the tedious and painful process by cashing in on those great books etc that are available from those who have decrypted this extremely difficult message and broken it down into laymen terms.
