Lack of Submission

This only comes from pride. God has ordained in the Church authority. Men who do not submit to Godly authority are nothing more than Korah and Dathan. They despise what God has ordained because they have not been ordained.

How many times a ministry has been established over the years, then all of a sudden these small spiritual giants come along and try to destroy everything good that God has built. Check and see if those who come into fellowship with you have a track record of a vagabond Jews. Meaning they are always church hopping, cannot find roots in one local assembly for long at all.

Why? Because nobody ever meets their requirements of what they have come to believe the church should be. Now mind you. They cannot see they are the ones with the problems. They are the ones who cannot find a place to be content.

Look folks we are dealing with different kinds of spirits today. Do you know that people will agree with you, even when they do not agree? Did you know that they will use the statement that Paul used, “I became all things until all men, that I might gain the more!” Do you understand what is going on this kind of mind? They have a secret agenda and many times they themselves don’t even know they have. One thing is for sure you can judge a tree by the fruit it bears.

It will not be long before they cannot take it anymore. They will expose themselves and make an attack on the leadership especially the Pastor. The wolf is always after the head.

Leaders know yourself first and then you will be able to see clearly others. Many disguise themselves not knowing they are clearly seen. A spiritual man always knows the flock. He knows who is with him and who is not. He is never taken by surprised and nothing sneaks upon him unaware. However since these spirits are so deceived. They cannot understand they are clearly seen.

One time I had a man who has been with me for the pas seven years. Now the truth was he was never with me. HE just did not know that I knew that. His wife loved me and the family. She was very involved in this church and in turn we loved her very dearly. I watched her grow over the years, she was filled with the Holy Spirit and then something happens. The husband who has always had envy in his heart towards me finally wore his poor wife down. Her spirit start to change, no doubt the deceiving of her husband had finally caught up with her. I always supported the man in his family as the leader. This wife would come to me often about her husband, I will tell her just do as she knows to do which is right and pray.

The husband would say bless you Pastor in one breath, and then when he got away form me he would slander, speak evil of me, defame me and etc... But he would smile in my face.

So one day they came to me said that his wife family was having hard times and they needed financial help. I told to go and find a job. When he gets paid sent the whole check to his wife family. You see we live on a community and we have no need of nothing. So it was no problem for him to do that. They have everything they need right here. This is why I told him to send his entire check to his wife family.

Now I told my wife, as my pattern is, I always tell someone what is going to happen or what is really in a person’s heart before they even do what they are going to do. I said honey, he is lying. I give it less than 3 months he will be gone. Well the faith would have it. One morning he came to my door at about 4:00am and said pastor we are leaving! I said who is it? (Knowing full well who it was) I said ok.

I got my pants on and headed out the door but they had already headed down the road. Now I forgot to mention that I told a few elders and my wife Friday night that this family would be leaving Sunday morning.

He came and asks for some money to leave after he got back to finish loading. Amazing huh? I gave it to him. You might ask why? Do you remember Jesus? The bible says he loved him until the end. So did I like wise. Well I saw them not to long ago the light has gone out in her. Now the husband never had the light he just had a fear of losing his wife. This man even had a skin disease called eczema. I was the one who prayed for him and GOD healed hi of this disease. I mean God healed him returned his skin back to a normal person’s skin.

As you can see this type of spirit is ruled by selfishness and it will not stop until it has destroyed all that it has until it reaches the portals of hell. I hope this story will help you see the works of the enemy.

So just when you think and believe that the leader God has placed over you does not know what was going on. Think again! DO not be deceived by your own deceiving. Well any way his wife family could not have been too bad off. Because know he has to support his family by the same money he was to give to his wife family.
