FOLLOWING THE SCRIPT

 When you have been in the gospel for years you end up learning the mechanics of everything, how to pretend that what I say comes from God just by modifying the way I speak, how to make prayers saying the right words so that people believe that I am praying in the spirit, how to put on my face and even fake cry so that people believe that I am worshiping in the Spirit.

And if I am in one of those churches where just by twisting my neck people think that the "Spirit of God" is moving in me, things become easy and if I also trust in the lack of discernment that exists today in the Church is much that I can do in the flesh and make many believe that it is in the spirit.

All of this is what I call "Learning the Mechanics of the Gospel" with the passage of time we learn by heart how we should do everything, even advise others, without the need of the Holy Spirit. Simply put, if there is a family problem, it is surely the husband who is the problem because statistically, due to Latin American machismo, the husband must be the problem.

If I am more on the religious side, I can tell the wife that she has to put up with everything because "the Bible says" that the wife must submit to her husband.

If I am on the side of the new "movement" in the churches, of empowered women, which by the way is nothing other than feminism and the Jezebellic spirit in disguise, then I give a few words to the woman to empower herself, and I tell her "because you are a lioness"

What I mean is that with the passage of time we learn "the script" of how to do everything in the church, even advising, which I consider to be one of the most delicate things that can be done; and over time we can do everything without even spending a moment praying to ask God for direction on how we should act in the situation.

I remember that when they could tell my dad (a real dad, not like those pastors who call them dad) that the situation was very urgent, but he would say something like: "I'm sorry, I know it's urgent, but I "I have to spend a moment with God because I don't want to do things in my flesh."

And sometimes we forget that even if we know the script by heart, not all situations are the same and with bad advice we can destroy.

This week something peculiar happened to me that has to do with that. Given the situation in which I live, I have felt the need to talk to someone, since I have no family, I have no friends and I am surrounded by enemies and potential enemies.

And in the midst of my need I got on Facebook, on Twitter, on Reddit... looking for a mature Christian to talk to. In the end I found a pastor from my country and the man actually looked like he wanted to help, but I warned him: "Please don't advise me following the script dictated by your years in the gospel, I'm already "I know the script and I know what words should be said to someone at a moment like this."

The pastor seemed to not understand me or believe me when I told him that I already knew the script and that I knew what in theory should be said to someone in my situation. And the pastor comes if his wonderful advice is launched -which I already knew by heart- My response was "No pastor, I told him not to follow the script" then I closed the chat and blocked him, not because he bothered me with him but because it made me sad.

Why did he make me sad?

Well, because that's how the church is, most of the pastors are like that. They already learn the script, they learn the mechanics and they no longer need to go pray and ask the Holy Spirit for direction because "they already have experience."

God knows how much I would have loved it if this man (who really had good intentions) had told me: "Give me a minute or a few seconds to mess with God because I don't want to talk to you on my behalf but on God's behalf."

It would have been nice if he had done that.

NOTE: Obviously, if it is something super urgent, it is not that they are going to pray for 2 hours or fast for three days. I clarify that there are people who have to explain everything to them and then they write me some comments!!!

My beloved, brothers in the faith, we will never become effectively capable in our flesh or in our wisdom and sometimes what the years in the gospel give is a security that is actually self-sufficiency that usually carries pride within.

A little advice from someone who has a life in this: "My Loves, we will never be able to be effective in our sufficiency, it is always advisable, always to depend on the Holy Spirit in everything"

I took it as a lesson. I hope you too --> Which is the reason I made this post <--
