We read in Ex 34:7 that four generations would pay for the sins of a great great great grandfather! Where is the fairness in that? Sorry, why should I pay for my father's sin? and why should my son pay for my sin. This God, I will not serve but this One..... Ezekiel 18:20 ..Each sould shall do report for his OWN sin!!! Aha..This is a fair God! And if I say it is the same God, he appears to be scisophrenic. And we know He is not!
There is many things in the Bible that a person has to take to God for revelation, and no other person can explain, or reveal it for you, it is the sole priviledge of Jesus to reveal the Word of God to whom He wants! And as i experience it in my own life, the more I believe the Word He does reveal to me, and live out that part of the Word, the more He trusts to reveal to me!
Let me explain one little part of the Word that He showed me, and how rock-solid i believe this short sentence! And allow me to explain also what that faith in that Word brought on my life!
I prayed for sick people, and they got well. Please allow me a single detail of the most amazing miricle that happened when I prayed for an old lady that had big kidney-stones.
I served in the church council as a deacon. I was a very popular member in the church as I worked very hard and did a lot of things in the church. On a certain Thursday evening in a council meeting there was great strife in the meeting. I had forgiveness in my heart for one of the church members, and the rest of the council was non-forgiving. I cried so heartbroken that they had to stop the meeting and break for tea. The council was made up by about 90 people.
I knew i was in the will of God to let this brother off without punishment, but the rest of the council was adament! It tore my heart in two. I asked God to show me the heart of these people, and when I looked into the eyes of another person I saw a black, wet and hard rock. That is when I burst out crying.
Later that night, when the council ended the meeting, I knew my days with this church was numbered. Our churchwarden walked up to me and told me that his wife had to go for a nephrotomy the next morning to remove the stones of her kidney. I asked him to join me in one of the side-rooms of the hall where we had the meeting and we prayed for his wife. She was in bed opposite the street from the church.
That Sunday in the morning service the churchwarden walked up to the minister and asked for the microphone. He said...."Thursday night after the council meeting Cobus and myself prayed for my wife, and after I locked up the church I went home. As i enterd our bedroom I saw my wife with a little bottle in her hands. She was smiling and I could see she had no more pain. She lifted the bottle and showed me the stones. They were huge, and she said a few minutes ago she woke up and felt something inside her night-gown. She felt the great relief that there was also no pain. She switched the bedside lamp on and saw the stones drop on the carpet when she stood up. Her nightgown was dry and she could not understand what happened. I told her we prayed for her and at that moment the stones came out."
I felt so blessed, and I thought it must have been a reward for my obedience to fight the council. Then my rude awakening!
Not long after that meeting we showed the Jesus film in the biggest squatter camp in South Africa. It is a good evangelistic move to show the film in their mother tongue. That night after the film a mother brought her two yearold son for healing. He had one misformed hip bone. In Stead of a sock and a joint, his right hip had two flat sections grinding against each other. The boy was in much pain.
My heart ached for this young person and the mother said she took him to many churches, so I took the boy and prayed for him. He did not get healed. I asked the mother whether she reads her Bible, and she said no! I told her that it she should and then the boy would get healed! I was wrong!!! That is a lie!!! The moment she walked away, I knew something was terribly wrong! I needed to get home so I can confront God! I wanted to be alone so I can talk to God and ask Him what His problem was!
So we packed up and i dropped everyone off, went home and sat at the table with my Bible! I prayed and asked the Lord..."Tonight I need to know if you exist, and whether i am your child or not! Talk to me Lord."
I opened my bible and read 1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
I said .."No God this Bible is lieing to me, I will always be a sinner. That is why Jesus died for me!" But a gain I knew this is a lie, I will not be a sinner for ever! Then I asked..."Lord i healed many sick, why not tonight, if there is one person that needed healing it was this boy!
God answerred... Matthew 7:21 to 23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Immedieately I recognised myself. I did not fit in the first scripture of 1 Joh 3 but very defenately in the second scripture of Matthew 7. I was knocked cold!!! I said out loud..."Lord what should I do?"
He said just as loud: "Genesis 1 verse 1 Start!!!!" And four months later I did! In that four months I already looked at the world differently! That four months made the most unpopular man in our city! Nobody, not a single person believed that a person cannot live without sin! Today it is still the most successful lie that the whole world believes!
Nobody is perfect! The biggest lie! And I saw in Genesis the first words God spoke to man after they left the Garden, that God intends for man to rule over sin. I was shocked to the core! God wants us to be perfect as He is perfect, even in Genesis.
Then I read and studied the whole bible, and for thirteen years I went into isolation, just me and God and His Word! Three of us, and the most wonderful journey of my life started. I now know God, and his will! and I obey Him only! That is why I am typing here now, because I want the people to know, that God has a level of righteousness and man has one as well. And only one level would get you into God's Kingdom.
I do not want to be recogniseable in this scripture.... Romans 10:3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
Let me show you the righteousness these people set up.... "We will allways be sinners, but it is ok, Jesus died for our sins!"
That is half of the truth, that makes it unknowledgeable! He also rose, so that we can have a new life WITHOUT SIN!
Thank you for giving me the time to share with you!
Let me show you the perfect people of God, and let us become saints first, then allow His teachers to also perfect (complete) us!
Ephe 4: 11 to 13 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
I really mean this! May God's will be done in my life!
