Count the cost and STAND!

Subject: Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the Wittenberg Church -
Body: Martin Luther declared that "by grace are we saved not by works", that salvation was attainable only by faith in Jesus as the Messiah, a faith unmediated by the church.
Grace is a standard doctrine today. Thank you Martin for your stand.
Our NEXT stage of development is in the area of FREEDOM!!!
Gal 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
Despite what many may think; walking in FREEDOM.. is NOT equivalent to walking in Rebellion.
It is very clear that the church's role has boundaries. It is necessary for any healthy church to only instruct and correct in the areas of black and white based on biblical truth.(Please note: black & white MUST be addressed - this is the other extreme).
What about the gray areas? What if it's not in the bible of whether something is right or wrong?
That, my beloved... IS GOD'S ZONE!!!
Where you walk in this area is determined and based on your PERSONAL relationship with Jesus Christ and where the Holy Spirit Guides you. How can anyone grow and come to know the voice of God if they are constantly going to "elders" for EVERYTHING?
I am CERTAIN Jesus wants church leaders and elders to understand.. that even though weak, sick and dependent people are much easier to control than those that are free and independent; it is a cruel thing to intentionally stunt development and keep people in a weak dependent state as a standard. It is a dangerous thing to tamper with a man's personal walk, designed to only to be touched by the hand of God.You must leave room for the REAL God to move in people's lives and not supersede His place with your opinion based doctrine.
THE LEADERSHIP ICON MUST GO!
If there is an open door for an attack on the church today. Check to see if you have touched this "GOD'S ZONE". See if you have touched what has been set aside as Holy unto God.The God's Zone is the Ark of today.. and to touch it without reverence has the same consequences, death. A DEAD church!

Dead churches, moving as though they were alive, but lead only by man's imagination and leaders pulling strings on an animated puppet. Characterized by being highly entertaining, but having no real lasting effect for change.It is the form of Godliness, that denies the POWER there of.It is Humanism and Roman philosophy personified.The question is, if the Holy Spirit LEFT the church.. would it REALLY make any difference, would your church crumble? or would it be business as usual? Conference as usual? Program as usual? Routine as usual? How good has man become at imitating the moving of the Holy Ghost? How good has man become at ignoring the Holy Ghost? I do wonder..
If I had a nail and parchment.. I would post it on the door. But I'm not Martin Luther. I am Just Cherstin Paulina Jiron, who hungers to see the Fear of the Lord reestablished in the church.. from the TOP down.
Peace
