I SAMUEL FOLLOWS..but first analyze the
MODERN DAY CHRISTIAN MINISTRY, MASSIVELY
CONFUSED, “STATE OF THE UNIFIED ONION”
THESE which follow, are only a TIP of an ENORMOUS, inherited Ministry BIG ICEBERG. I cannot go into it every bit adequately in just ONE article. I will begin to BRING UP related CHIEF POINTS for the wise Ministry leader National, Global, Ministry Diverse all of YOU to consider ..and to continue to seek the Real LORD..BUT let’s not ACCUSE but doctrinal caustic toxic, morphed FRUIT..to EVALUATE, TO really ASSESS ..and also will need to admit..NO ONE SIZE OFFICE SR MINISTRY, JUNIOR RISING, AND /OR STABLE ELDER, GOVERNING LAY will “Have it ALL”..meaning including THIS one.
COMING AND SEEN AS RELATED:
1 A RISE IN CLASSY PRESENTATION..also assessing the USA Historical RISE National Christian Media TV Ministry all around Ministry effects (this human person spans the PRE MEDIA CLONING CLUB /WOULD BE ELITE MINISTER CHRISTIAN DAYS..back to Rev Billy Graham and Jesus People..BEFORE JESUS Was a “FAMOUS” WELL KNOWN SUPER STAR..later even like a ROCK STAR…..but..that came in during my Sent Watch.
Below..to evaluate, compare and contrast: RESULTING PRODUCED “KINDS, STYLES, STYLES” OF FRUIT
PRE: BILLY GRAHAM representing JESUS to AMERICA
THEN late 1960’s…1970s...BUDDING HOLY SPIRIT REAL, MIGHTY MOVES: JESUS PEOPLE (when I came in), teaching training Holy Spirit based now FAMOUS TV (non self righteous moves..BEFORE “Claiming JESUS NAME as ” TAKING SIDES” WITH YOUR OWN BRAND POLITICS “…ALSO this was long before “RELIGIOUS RIGHT” (of which I was never even once part of) and CELEBRITY , wannabe ELEVATED, “CLUBBY ELITE” Christian ministry..
NEO: 1980s starting with JIM BAKKER ..to this myself, the famous TV persona, the first of all of the THE MEGA CHRISTIAN TRENDS (Nothing WRONG with MEGA, FAME, LOOKING GOOD, TV MEDIA LIGHTING/PRESENTATION in itself)
MANY …NOW CURRENT: Simply evaluate WHAT, WHO, HOW Christ is ongoing represented..WHAT is the basic “produced fruit”..and
1990’s..CHRISTIAN CHARISMA MAGAZINE about 1996: Carried this ad: Book is coming from Prophet Bob Buess prophesying “A SPIRIT OF ENTERTAINMENT ..FANTASY WILL TRY TO INVADE THE CHURCH”
REAL WORLD INFLUENCE..(meaning secular worldly TV) as I remember. this was GREATLY influential..even in many of the born again us..THE LIFESTYLES OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS (1984-1995) was a popular secular TV show..I submit that this also may have had a big ministry part. I new from networking with area pastors that this had effected many THEIR views of “needs” “reality” and it may have affected various views of mine..but just for a season. An inner city pastor, close ministry/family type friend..shared how many of his deep inner city, residing in the projects, who could not afford automobiles, so thus were limited in social exploration..remarked WAY BACK in that time..that his all inner city black parishioners..had “never met a white person..so that they got their ONLY VIEW OF CAUCASIAN HUMAN PERSONS was from the LIFESTYLES OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS” (** I lived 16 miles away in the area outskirts..but HIS fine Christian folk only had a limited bus route)
It was for me a very informative and deeply troubling comment. (probably mid 90’s)
- ANCIENT TD archives: SEPT 16, 2019….OF THE COMING ACTS 2 MINISTRY CLEANING FLUSH.which would be CHARACTER plus ONGOING: (JAN prior to leaving DFW) 2020 “THE DEMAS-IZATION OF AMERICA” Leader Word (just before Covid)
BY NOW I AM WONDERING:
Q. HOW IS THE AMERICA WE USED TO VIEW AND RESPECT? (NOTE: VIEWING THE GOOD PARTS OF THE USA AS “CALM” “CONFRONTING BUT NOT BULLYING, DOMINATING…ACCUSING”…ALSO THE KIND PARTS …APART FROM THE VAST ENTRENCHED DEEP INJUSTICES) BUT THAT IS WHY THIS NEEDED ARTICLE..AS
Q. WHERE HAS THE GOODLY BORN AGAIN CHURCH FULLY BEEN??
3. NOTE: THIS SPECIFICITY IS ABOUT A DIVISIVE CHANGE IN BORN AGAIN CULTURE…ALSO.. IS NOT “AGAINST” ANY “FAMOUS PERSONS”… And I am in fact GRATEFUL for the many renown on MEDIA..it’s been a LIFE SAVER….Yet I comment..only due to the USA DECLINE in the Church attendance, but the In DENIAL..assessed too often as PLAYTIME ministry ..while USA “appears to be in an ongoing downward DEATH SPIRAL”..
4. MY ONLY PURPOSE…I create this sort of STIR….to call attention to the TOP MINISTERS….and the LOCAL ELITE..to the FALSE FRUIT and some who are OCCULT..and the massive PRIOR COVID and FOLLOWING…FALLING AWAY..to ponder, reflect, to ME CENTRIC assess and where God keenly guided..to adjust.
SO I SUBMIT..that when we assess WHAT is being chiefly taught, and find it to be primarily a ministry achievement, Blessing immature FOCUS…then it is up to elders, trainers to locate and mega, micro TEACH these Basic Common Doctrines (Ephesians 4 mentored by Apostle Paul) and to then ADJUST to ADD IN the (many RELATIONSHIP EFFECTING) First Church MISSING DOCTRINES which breed a HEALTHY FIRST CHURCH sense of Humble ongoing Transformed EPHESIANS 4 type of COMMUNITY” ..BUT OLDER MINISTRY GENERATIONS..GENERALS “CAUTION” that YOU do not add in the inherited, passed way down COUNTRY LAW which is now in MUCH Spirit filled.pentecostal, cultish prophetic and mostly white eagle Moving in the Gifts non denominations, official good deed doing denominations.
( THUS..this person.. will not name Good Folks NAMES, GROUPS in this setting, but if one wants me to share just WHOM I will privately as I value UNITY, TRUST and “Discerning the others in the Body of Christ Correctly” and as I am not an Apostle Paul (who named Alexander the Coppersmith and trendy self seeking DEMAS). I will share if I feel the pastors, minister, leader is true, Godly remnant, not a backbiter.. humble.)
5. ALL REFLECT UPON…Q. WHAT EFFECT ON CHRISTIAN FAMILY, MINISTRY, EGO, FANTASY, ENTERTAINMENT, SINCERITY, PUBLICITY “GETTING WELL KNOWN”
BUT during the last 20 media soaked years, I have often recalled the old black and white cowboy western I saw while lying on the couch visiting my late dear mother. I recall this one line from what was a genre of ‘(back pre PC then) a COWBOY VS INDIAN MOVIE. Now I respectfully refer to these as Native Americans. Also, as I simply heard this line ABOUT Native Americans owning this belief..due to it being an OLD WESTERN from the 40s or 30s..I am clueless if THEY really all believed it. HOWEVER it makes a huge comparison to video ministry RIGHT NOW.
HERE GOES: …One rugged cowpoke remarked to another,
“THE INDIANS DON’T LIKE HAVING THEIR PICTURE TAKEN. THEY BELIEVE THAT IT STEALS THEIR SOUL.”
And isn’t it true that the USA TV MEDIA EFFECTED viewing big CULTURE is now DIFFERENT than in many years past..which culture also includes MINISTRY, LAY,YOUTH, TODDLERS ON UPWARD..also most of YOU and this ME..also the DIVIDED /WITCH WATCHING AMERICA.
- MUSIC RELIEF (This reflects the pushy controlling achievement, bless me success…FAMOUS CHRISTIAN TV NAME FOLLOWER….expansive growth of the many ever present Grass Roots diverse HOSETS of ” USA WANNBES…posted 2008) “LOSE MY SOUL” TOBY MAC, KIRK FRANKLIN, MANDISA
.6. THE NEED TO BE BE VIEWED AS LEADER WITH FASHION…Newly introduced Multi-cultural government, blessing, and authority DOCTRINES, practices, fashions and ‘NOUVEAU PHARISEEISM” ..producing markedly RIGHT WING (conservative) opposes LEFT WING..in anti the other style ACCUSATIVE NEGATIVE politics.
7.USA ELITE, LEISURE, CALM, EASE....all seemed to have allowed the HOLLYWOOD Ministry “Lifestyles of the NOUVEAU RICHE and Wannabe FAMOUS”….I submit this as my own opinion..that USA RISE IN WESTERN NOUVEAU RICH SPAWNED BY 80’s and EASE, TV MEDIA ADVERTISING..which DOCTRINES and ALL OF THAT PRESENTATION…and GOD’S BLESSING OF “EASE AND LEISURE IN MOST PARTS OF THE MINISTRY…I submit..gave rise to the now VAST.. “MINISTRY BUSINESS NOUVEAU RICHE SUCCESS” as a BREED.
BENEATH has been produced …and at this important EPIC TIME .each Christian Minister MUST CHOOSE whom THEY will truly SERVE. (and I include this myself, also)
NOTE: This, it is my submitted life opinion, that I SAMUEL 1-2.. parallels what goes on today in CERTAIN DOCTRINAL SPECIAL FIELDS of the modern day Christian ministry.
SYNOPSIS OF CHAPTER 1: Eli has two wicked pastors on his staff. They are his 2 renegade, wastral Chosen Sons, Hophni and Phineas. Yet Eli does nothing to correct or discipline..and there is slow buildup which God’s area people are quick to recognize. ELI and his playboy ministry sons, are biased and repeatedly MISUSE, USE, ABUSE “GOD’S OFFERINGS” and “LEADER WOMEN WHO COME TO THE CHURCH”**
**(for this openly reveals their “no holy fear of the Lord” demeaning impure character; and their surprising DEVALUING, DISRESPECT for the MIGHTY HOLY LORD GOD, for their OWN CHOSEN OFFICE but also for their EASY DISRESPECT FOR “GOD’S MONEY” AND HIS DAUGHTERS (EGO MISOGYNY, MATERIALISTIC, BLIND, DULL, VOID OF EMPATHY, NO LONGER HAVING HUMAN OTHER CENTRIC MINISTRY RESPECT..ALL ARE COMPASSION FATIGUED)
THE LOCALLY HIGH PROFILE OFFICE ELI notices a weeping woman far away on the temple steps. He shows his HEART ..for at FIRST aged Eli Office dimly regards this Lone Woman as ‘simply another TYPECAST” for instead of rising up and walking over (due to compassion) to represent the LORD to her..to find out what the matter was…His cold, stony heart, tries to first spare himself the energy and he ACCUSER JUDGES, LABELS the far off weeping HANNAH as ‘just another drunk”…based upon the countless many who have come to the temple in many years.
HANNAH’S BACKSTORY Indeed Hannah’s backstory was that she was NOT a overly emotional, time wasting DRUNK. No, her own husband Elkanah loved her more than the other wife, Peninah. But Peninah relentlessly persecuted the barren HANNAH and that is WHY Hannah had fled to the House of the Lord to pray but also to take a brief time out from her supreme stress.
A FEW SECONDS LATER Office High Priest Eli, does adjust and prophesies over Hannah. LATER on Hannah turns out to be the MOTHER of the FIRST NATIONAL HEBREW PROPHET “SAMUEL”
and ALL of this (now going to Chapter 2) preceded GOD’S NATIONAL EPIC OFFICE REAL BIG CHANCE..which I name THE CLEANSING ICHABOD.
