Having Vision
Basically my vision for this blog is to be about truth seeking combined with honest heart hearing and finalized with a true bound by Christ attitude. My blog will hopefully grow into something more possibly to a new blog or even other ministries (or develop this one) that is a bit farther in scope. I am still working on my vision of this next project since I don't know what to exactly call this ministry I am doing so I am tentatively calling it "Green Fire" since I am a perfectionist I don't know if I am quite satisfied with that but I will let you know once I know. It may just take time and spiritual maturity to finally find my place in life. I mean there is a lot of things I still don't know yet which can only come by my continual seeking of God's Eternal Truth.
Green Fire:
Basically where Green fire came from was the inspiration of a Green Landscape I had submitted to a company that got put into a new piece of entertainment that will be released next year! Since it is apart of my hobby this green landscape being added to their product really excites me and really invigorates me. I have been having a hard time with identity crisis lately and knowing what to call the Ministry but I finally figured I would incorporate some of that inspiration into the blog. Basically I think that I merged the two ideas of the Green Landscape and God's Holiness which is often presented as fire in scripture HEB 12:29 to come up with this idea.
So yeah my inspiration was running very dry but despite the drought I came out on top. Either way I think I will possibly at some point change the name of the ministry to something else once I launch a new teaching website Lord willing to be entirely spiritual I don't know. I still don't know what I would name it yet anyway.
What is my goal?
My goal is basically to expose the truth of God for the purpose of God to delve into the truth of God. Lord willing I am trying to make a decent rendition of the Gospel as there are Theologians, Scholars, Online Ministries, and Authors struggling out there with this stuff. My goal is launch another blog Lord willing and a website Lord willing to get a good ministry going Lord willing and hopefully get better at my own personal theology Lord willing. There is many people who live in the dark thinking wrong with stinking thinking. Let's look at that.
Stinking Thinking
There are many online ministries out there that will condemn just about anything. Saying no to secular Media, Movies, Music, etc. This is irrespective of the point that many Fundamentalist Christians out there condemn Harry Potter as witchcraft as seen in the movie Jesus Camp and also online ministries like returnamerica.com that condemns the Chronicles of Narnia for having different kinds of mythological creatures like fawns and stuff. These people are seriously delusional for they haven't got a clue about what they are doing by condemning these secular things as witchcraft and things of the Devil. Basically by condemning Harry Potter due to a very stiff necked Biblical Worldview these people have become irreverent, irrelevant, and iridescent. Let's examine these terms.
Why is condemning things like Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia, and Rock and Roll being irreverent?
Well the answer is simple. Basically these Christians become fundamental in practice by condemning such secular practices and make themselves to appear righteous in their own eyes which is known as self-righteousness and very bad in God's eyes LK 18:9. Harry Potter really? Yes people think Harry Potter is of the Devil which is plain stupid and a great example of stinking thinking.
The Sacred Name Movement
Many subscribers to the Sacred Name Movement are convinced God's Name is Yahweh when this is false. The tetragrammaton is YHVH and many people falsely revert this over to YHWH thinking it is Yahweh which is simply not the case. Since the Jewish Scribes hide the name of God because they feared it so much they took out the vowels like a, e, i, o, and u. Basically this means many people's interpretation is wrong and mere speculation. While my view is still only speculation I think my theory holds more water doctrinally and theologically. When it comes to the name of God his name given to Moses was Yahveh/Yahuveh/Yahuvah. Many people are so convinced they have made Bibles with the name translated as Yahweh instead of God; while this is a very close rendition I think it doesn't serve the name of God very well. I think Yahveh is a much closer rendition since the Christians think it was YHWH and the Jews say it was YHVH. Clearly the Jews were the ones handing down the Name of God from the Torah not the other way around. The Christians and Jews have been at odds for thousands of years and they often make doctrines that oppose one another since they refuse to agree on certain matters of doctrine for the simple aspect of agreeing to disagree. God's name is not Yahweh!
Yahveh's Name
So about Yahveh; Yahveh is the Name of God that I believe in and have an extremely strong conviction towards. Yahweh has been over played in Christian society and many Christians teach Yahweh the Father is the God of Love, Peace, Prosperity, Mercy, Fertility, Health, Truth and so on and refer to him as Daddy or Daddy God. Daddy God is a very immature reference to God that blasphemes His Name and paints the picture perfectly that God is our space dad or teddy bear. This is not the God of the Bible.
The God of the Bible is not our space dad and shouldn't be referred to as some Genie in the Sky granting all our wishes. Many People pray to God for them to have kids when they can't conceive of a child and get mad at God when the woman can't get pregnant. Or people will pursue God for happiness and prosperity by giving to ministries to sow seed in order to reap riches which is the wrong motive for giving. People even give to the Church out of obligation and not out of a heart filled with obedience. Giving for the wrong reasons is just as bad as viewing God like a slot machine hoping to strike it rich with God's riches and blessings. We cannot give to receive as Jesus taught and in fact Jesus taught the poor would more likely inherit Heaven not the rich. So those who think they are rich by giving to God abundantly out of obligation are doing no better than our ancestors in the days of old who gave to the Temple and their sins still remained. God is not the God of fertility or the God of prosperity. Nor is God the God of fortune as many people have blamed God for their kids dying and thinking they could never forgive God when God doesn't need to be forgiven for anything he does whether Well-being or Calamity. I find it funny people immaturely refer to God as daddy when that term makes them sound so ignorant of anything that is Holy.
Real Sacrifice
John Bevere is a hypocritical Charismatic Christian teacher, author, and speaker who believes we need to be willing to sacrifice our lives for someone and die for them before we can say we have discernment about them! In one of his books he says he is so sick of Christians being critical when he himself is being critical by saying he is so sick of being critical! Does this sound like a spirit of humility that Jesus carried? No. It's because John Bevere doesn't understand the fact that he is crazy and he somehow thinks we need to live up to God's Word when only God can do that. Jesus proved no man can keep the scriptures but God's One and Only Son.
John Bevere is hypocritical to think this since he himself is guilty of being a very selfish man as I saw him speak at our Church once in Shreveport and he was so full of it. He was speaking and was like "This is a Charismatic Church!" yelling in a condescending tone he was getting upset with me and my Church because we weren't getting all fired up like he was and he wanted us hanging from the rafters, yelling, screaming, shouting shouts of joy, clapping hands, shouting things about God, etc. I have no room for this kind of Preacher and Teacher. I just don't get how someone so successful as John Bevere can be so loveless and yet teach on the things of God and claim to worship God. The impression I got from him is that he is a very selfish man which I don't understand since he is so successful. I am not jealous of this man's successful ministry according to the world but I fear God and believe he is not blessed by God therefore he is not successful in my eyes according to God's Economy and his reward in Heaven will be nothing and salvation at the very best. Didn't Jesus say not to do our good works to be seen by men? So why would we jump and shout when Preacher's like John Bevere come to town? This is the mark of a false prophet and a man after false gain as he is not using the things of God faithfully with his ministry. I used to really like the guy and everyone at the Church just loved him but I don't accept him. Real sacrifice is not willing to die for anyone be they a Christian. You don't need to die for anyone to be able to discern them. But however you should be willing to die for Jesus since he died for you.
The Real God of the Bible
Let's look at God's character according to the principles of scripture not some modern Christian school of thought. God is Holy, God is Gracious, God is Just, God is Terrifyingly Awesome, God is our Father/Dad, God is our Creator, God is our Savior, God is our God. This is God according to the scriptures sure God is those other things like Love but this word love doesn't best describe God since God is first of all Holy not first of all Loving. Will God love you when he sends you to Hell? No. God doesn't love those he condemns to eternal torment for what reason would he need to love them at that point? God loves us while we are still alive and God loves every human each day. God doesn't have a love for the dead or those sentenced to Divine Judgment. His Eternal Kingdom Reign only comes upon those written in the Lamb's Book of Life which Lord Willing will be one of my next Blog Posts titled Kingdom Reign & Kingdom Principles which is still a bit tentative right now till I come up with more ideas on what to include with that.
