Stop, stop

 In one of my past publications I told that I told a pastor that he was dropping his pants in front of one of the apostles of the heretical ministry to which they belonged and I also said that the entire church and everyone hated me and that in the end and after They still had to leave the ministry (always recognizing that THE WAY I did it was not correct).


Well, after they finally had to leave that ministry God gave me this word for them in the book of Jeremiah:


Thus says the Lord: Stand in the ways, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, what is the good way, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your soul...


Jeremiah 6:16.


But the problem of many pastors is what Dante Gebel expressed publicly, Dante Gebel said that he was not going to receive any word that someone brought him because God could speak to himself and if God could speak to himself, why send someone but to give him a word?


And yes, this is arrogance and arrogance that is usually added to pastors when they have a large church or when they have many years in the ministry and since they are very large or have years in the ministry they are not going to accept words from anyone unless they He has a ministry greater than theirs and also believes the same things he believes.


And that is the problem I want to talk about, when people have many years in the ministry they tend to believe that no one can teach it, especially a fucking brother who is not even a pastor. These pastors learn the mechanics, God speaks to them, they already know how to preach, they already know how to appear humble in front of everyone even if they are super arrogant, they already believe they have the correct doctrine and are on the right path...


And so were those shepherds for whom God gave me the word.


And I remember that God repeated to me "Stop, Stop, ask for the ancient path"


The point is that, as I said, these types of pastors believe that they are on the right path and are sure that they are walking the old path. But it is not in vain that the apostle Paul urges us to examine ourselves to see if we are in the faith 2 Corinthians 13:5


And sometimes "Since we already know how everything is, since we have been doing this for a thousand years, how we can make hundreds of people shout and applaud with our preaching, how people are healed even by smelling my armpits..." Why examine myself if I am in the truth? Of course I'm right! (yes, the joke was too dark)


And we end up becoming arrogant mediocre people who only appear humble in front of the people of the church "because the pastor must be humble."


Recently I was reading an anecdote about a son of one of the great men of God of this century and the man said "I went and looked at the last book that Dad was reading that last morning, before he died, a book by the Puritan writer Thomas Brooks and almost All the pages were underlined and highlighted with comments that filled every open margin, here was my father after 70 years in the ministry, still exploring, still learning."


Many feel insulted with the word "Stop" because they have a lot to do "for the work of God" but how horrible to be building something with the wrong plans, how horrible to want to build a temple to the living God with the plans of a taguara. ..


Many today believe that they no longer need to stop on the roads and ask for the ancient path, because they are sure that they are already on them. Pentecostals never question whether they are in the truth because they are already in the truth, they have the holy spirit that guides them to all truth. Those of sound doctrine do not question whether they are in the truth because they study the scriptures a lot and the truth is there and those free from super grace do not question whether they are in the truth because they really do not care, they just want to be blessed. and attract people by being cool so they have to distort the entire Bible.


And while God keeps saying "Stop, Stand and ask which is the ancient path"


But today most pastors and ministers are just backwaters, just backwaters. And they will laugh at this and say "Are we stagnant waters? Haha, but yesterday we had a very powerful service."


But even so, they are stagnant waters.


I pray for each of us that we will be truly humble and continually examine ourselves to see if we are in the faith so that we do not find ourselves on a strange path or running the wrong race.


Stop, Stop.


I remember repeating several times to a person "I prefer to stop and think carefully and ask and investigate well how to do something before doing it than to rush to do it and do it wrong."

To the ears that want to hear and to the heart that wants to obey, I say from God: "Stand, stop, Stand in the ways, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, which is the good way, and walk in it, and You will find rest for your soul."


And let it not happen in the way that the verse ends "But they said, We will not walk." as happened to the shepherds I started talking about.


(Note that in my publications I never use "God tells you" or something similar because I am very delicate with that and people manipulate a lot with it, but today I feel this word very much from God).


With all my love
