Yielded and Submitted

This book is about God's Order. Do you know that God is orderly? Everything about Him is Orderly. The Body of Christ has go to get it together. I noticed even the world trains their people. I've worked iin the corporate world for thirty-five (35) years. Every time I turned around, we were in training for this or that. The world wants its people well-rounded. When iit comes to the Church, people want to be "over night wonders." Nobody wants to be trained. They don't want to be taught. All they want to do nowadays is to "Perform in the Sanctuary." We are not on stage. The reason we are in the church, is not to be seen or heard! It's not to wear a Title! It's not to be the Pastor's boy or the Pastor's girl! We are or should be "in training." As the Apostle Paul told Timothy; "We are all Missionaries in training!" The enemy has sprayed a spirit of Lethargy over the "Church" and the "Church" is sleeping. It is high time the "Church" wake up from its sleep. Yes, we need to wake up and take our rightful place. We need to live Holy so that we can walk in the Power and the Authority of God. The enemy know who walk in the power and authority of God. Believe me, he knows. Remember the seven "7" sons of Sceva? When they tried to cast out devils, the devils rose up and said, " (paraphrase) "Wait a minute now, Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you??? In other words, you ain't going to do nothing with me, because you ain't got no power (excuse my vernacular). And those devils tore them apart! Do you see man of God, woman of God how vital it is in this hour to walk in the Authority, Wisdom, and Anointing of God? This is a Critical hour in the Body of Christ. Don't miss this move of God! In order to walk in Power and Authority in this hour, you must be submitted to somebody. This is why I tell Pastors, "Get yourself a Pastor. We all need to be Yielded and Submitted to somebody. Submitting yourself to your spiritual leader takes nothing away from you, rather, it adds to you. It causes you to walk in Integrity. It builds Character in you. When you walk in the Gifts of God, you need Integrity and Character to keep you standing. So go ahead, humble yourselves to your Spiritual Leader, for in doing so, you're humbling yourselves to God. I am a Senior Pastor. but I would not dare walk in Ministry unless I am accountable to somebody. I see so many rebels in the "Body of Christ" today. Nobody wants to obey those who have "spiritual authority" over them anymore. It seems as though everybody is just wild, and submitted to no one, just out of control, and Spiritual loving it. This is a Critical hour in God He is calling for submitted vessels, yielded vessels. Can He depend on You??? Or, have you joined the Crowd?? I call it the "Church Stars Crowd. This is not the church that Jesus built. He's looking for vessels of Honor" someone who will sit under Spiritual Authority and learn until they become fit for the Master's use. It's not about you. In fact, you are not even in the equation. It's all about Increasing the Kingdom of Heaven and Decreasing the Kingdom on Hell. I've never see so many Anxious Saints in all my life. Everybody wants to Preach, Prophesy etc. Yet, they don't want to submit their lives to God. If they don't yield to God, their Pastor, Apostle, or Bishop can just forget it. The people of God has got to get in God's spirtual orderl There are "Patterns" in God. You can not By-Pass your Pastor and get to God. Look at Jesus: In all the power and authority He walked in, He walked in total Obedience to God the Father.. As Anointed as you think you are, you must submit yourself to Spiritual Authority, or you will not go anywhere in God. In the Gospels, the Centurion knew that there was an order to spiritual authority (Mt. 8:9), "He said to Jesus, I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, go, and he goeth; and to another, come, and he cometh; and to my servant, do this, and he doeth it." A Centurion is a commanding officer of an ancient Roman military unit of about one hundred (100) men When he speaks, things happened. He was a man of authority, under authority. In other words, he was telling Jesus; I know that you are in authority, and I know that you pray (talk) to someone higher, (same as me). God will always have someone in authority. There will always be a leader. If God tells you everything you need to know, He would not have need for Pastors and other leaders. Leaders are given to us for the Maturing of the saints (Eph. 4:11-14), "And He shall give some Apostles, Prophets, and some Evangelists, and some Pastors and Teachers; for the Perfecting (Maturing) of the saints, for the work of the ministry for the edifying of the body of Christ, til we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect (mature man or woman), unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." Let's look at what the Holy Spirit is saying: He is talking about the Glorious Church Maturing. The sum total of His goal, is that the saints come to perfection (maturity). Once you're matured, then you will be equipped by the same person that taught you for ministry. S0 now, being fully matured and equipped, you're in position for ministry, to help build-up the Body of Christ so that the Body, with your help, can come into oneness. Now that you're In-Order, you can help someone else come to maturity. Take some of the weight off of your leaders. When the Body of Christ is matured. we can so readily recognize the move of satan. We can then recognize cunning and unscrupulous acts and every form that the enemy presents himself in. As a Babe in Christ, you have no knowledge of how cunning and subtle the enemy is. The sum of what I am saying: If you don't sit down, shut up, and listen to your spiritual authority, you will never mature. You will run after every wind of doctrine. The people of God need Foundation.
