Tonight God moved me

Tonight I was watching a movie with my wife and interwoven within it's theme was the basis of "religion" and a semblance of "Bible believing."
As this theme developed towards the end of the movie, my heart began to break because of the authenticity of the failures that it manifested in the lives of those who were supposed to believe.
Why?
Because there are many (possibly the majority) of believers who actually have no foundation for their faith. Things get hard, hope fails, evil seems to triumph, and despair sets in. Those who were once strong become weak, those who were once wise become foolish, those who were once victorious are defeated. No foundation! In church every Sunday, yes. Sunday school, yes. Wednesday nights, yes. Having what seems to be a "good foundation" when sand was the base, not rock!
We all react differently when bad or evil comes against us, but we all partake of the same Savior, Spirit, and grace. Again why? It's simple. We all have the same potential but it's how we "enter in" to that potential that makes the difference. Some enter by shear will power or strength, some enter by "faith" with humility and meekness that comes through genuine grace.
One of the problems:
I have said it before but it begs repeating again,
"All Scripture is God breathed", and "the spiritual man knows all things." What makes you a "spiritual man"? Certainly the only answer is the Holy Spirit through the blood of Christ by the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.
But wait! Maybe you don't believe that? Maybe your definition of "Baptism in the Holy Spirit" is a different "way" than what God's Word says? Maybe, just maybe, God wasn't being specific about this matter and it's open to "INTERPRETATION"?
Alas, the whole root of the problem is laid naked, we are wiser than God!
So many who "proclaim" the Word of God for salvation ignore the rest of it and pick and choose what chapters and verses are still "FOR TODAY"!
Their weakness comes from the "incomplete" Word of God.
Let me make this a little more obvious:
God's Word "cannot change." Therefor God cannot change as God and His Word are one in the same.
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are One in Three Persons. Nothing now, before, or in the future will ever fail about the Word of God. He said it and like it or not YOU cannot change it. You have not the power, or the authority to do so, regardless of all your training, teaching, or twisting, "Let God be true and every man a liar." That ends that part.
If the above be True then any Scripture that doesn't fit you, or hasn't worked for you is still "Unchanging Scripture" and you are the one that's wrong, in other words a "liar."
Whether or not it has "happened to you" in your walk, or whether or not you have experienced it doesn't make you the authority as to it's valid place in the believers life today. God said it so that ends it regardless of "your opinion!" In fact if you contradict the Word of God because you lack the anointing to walk in it then you are a deceiver "having a form of Godliness but denying the power thereof."
Stating it rightly: "Your lack of faith in the Word has reaped what you have sown, plant little do to lack of faith, reap little or nothing."
Because you built on sand don't tell others that you will help them build their house next door.
God is omniscient, that means "He knows all", every thought, every invention, every piece of wisdom, from before creation to the very end.
To us His Word is prophetic but to Him it's a "story already told" before it happens. You cannot outsmart Him, surprise Him, or impress Him in any way, not by thought, word or deed. Nothing is new to Him.
In that unfathomable Wisdom He presented us His written Word. Perfect in choice of Words, sentence structure, spirit and presentation. No need to interpret what the all wise God has written, He wrote it for us to understand it perfectly "by His Spirit." If you seek wisdom aside from His plan, you will end up submitting yourself to your own ideas which "fall short of His Glory."
As I have said in the past: if you eliminate any chapter or verse in the Bible what part of Christ or His Body are you eliminating? The mouth maybe, that would be His prophetic calling both in Himself and His church. What about the eye or ear? What do they represent of His physical being and in the Body of Christ? Remember, whether we can fathom it or not "His Word became flesh and dwelt among us", the written Word came to life in body form, representing perfectly in the flesh Jesus Christ as He appeared "in due time."
If you believe anything else than this then your foundation is built on sand, that's why it cannot stand when the storms of evil assail us. Our armor is incomplete and we try to stand on our own instead of us having "His strength in our weakness."
Like it or not "His Word is our meat and drink." So if you only eat the "feel good" offerings in the Bible what will your spiritual strength have to draw on in the "day of battle."
Paul commands us to "move from milk to "real meat." Real meat........the whole Word of God, not just the desserts, strong meat.
How you "feed"on His Word is how you will respond to the rigors of spiritual battles in "high" places. Fight or fold? You decide.
Faith was never meant to be just the trump card to getting into heaven, but the conduit to grace that brings all the precious promises of God to us through Christ. He does this so that He can lift Him (Christ) up to call all men unto Himself. How does He do that? By backing up every believer who preaches the gospel by word or action, with a witness of signs and wonders that no other God can do to prove that only He is the True God, and only His Word is the True salvation.
So if your faith is little or weak you will not believe (wholeheartedly) Scripture to the "preforming" of it through Gods promises to us in Christ.
Note: Christianity was designed to be an "EXPERIENCE" through faith of all the power and demonstration of our God to a dying mankind that needs eternal rescuing.
If you don't believe beyond salvation that this is True then how will you reach others? You give them the right to argue that you are wrong as you cannot show them the proof that God gives all believers through the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
I have witnessed to many men on the jobs about Jesus Christ and the gospel, and I am sure that I was not the only one that God had set in their lives to "run into." But the difference was, when they became injured and our paths crossed the Gospel could be "made real" to them by refreshing their memory of what they had been told, and then having the boldness to ask if they wanted prayer for their infirmity for healing. More times than not they actually watched there infirmity's vanish and complete healing take place. Vain sinners were dancing around saying with elation "praise God, thank you Jesus." God intervened in their lives because someone believed the "entire" Word of God and put it into practice, then God manifested His glory to prove His Word is True.
Men I used to work with came out of coma's in the Name of Jesus, sight restored, hearing opened. muteness rendered void. "Jesus came that we might have life and that more abundantly." Life for us and life for those that God would bring across our paths both eternal and physical. Jesus said, "go ye into all the earth, preach the gospel, heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons", so whats stopping the majority of us? Fear.........John said: "perfect love cast out fear".
If we have "perfect Love" toward God (for the Love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit), and our fellow man then God is free to "work His will" in our lives and in those He put around us for His glory.
All of this comes from the confidence we have by faith in His Word to believe "the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth" in Jesus name. Knowing that He will do His will to glorify His name and lift up Jesus to call all men unto Himself.
Convinced yet?
We are weak but He is strong. Do you want your strength or His?
Do you want your thoughts, ideas and interpretations or do you want His Word, promises, and Spirit?
Lets give faith a try from here on out. You know that your faith will grow as you hear and believe His Word. "Faith comes by hearing and that hearing by the Word of  God."
I have many things to write because, since I was saved, I made the Word of God the most important meat in my life by believing it without question or doubt. By faith.
I don't have all the answers but the ones I don't have I don't need at this time. God gives all wisdom in His time. As long as I am alive seeking His heart and face I will be open to the every growing revelation of Jesus Christ that He will give me "in His time!"
Sand or rock?
Real meat or milk?
Faith or doubt?
Unconditional Love or judgement?
As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.
I pray this small thought gives you hope and inspires you to greatness aiding His Kingdom to come.
God bless and keep.
