Ever, ever heard this mentioned? Today's churches have people born in soft light, soft music, while eyes are closed and heads bowed, Jesus loves you and gave His life for you, accept Him into your heart - and you are well away en route to heaven.
Reality?
Hurts, inner healing, boundaries, etc. etc., psychology in the church - many of these issues ripped out of man only by obeying YESHUA's commands, e.g. forgiveness - rather these "methods" perpetuate unforgiveness!
Reality is somewhat different. Yes He IS to be in us - BUT as King and Judge. With the authority to choose who is to be with Him and who will be rejected.
Harsh reality - when one is invited (called) by YHWH to accept YESHUA, one joins His "army", where He has final authority - and His words are the standards on which ALL lifes thoughts, decisions and actions are based.
Yes, He is good, but also severe.Yes, His mercy is infinite, to a sinner that acknowledges his enmity to YHWH, and turns, and keep on walking on a new road. But to someone who looks back, turns back - that mercy will come to and end at some point.
YHWH has a kingdom, He rules there. He makes the laws, He judges. He invites man to enter. He identifies the Route and Gate, the transformation, the standards. He forces no-one. He invites. He respects man's choice, but when man chooses to respond, He place the man under the rule of the Prophet spoken by Moses.
A curse is on anyone and everyone that is disobedient to Him.
