Response to a twitter post about us not following ppl, only God.... I understand what they meant, but it is dangerous era filled doctrine, especially to Christians and Jews...
My response:
A fine line. We are one with Christ. Paul said follow me as I follow Christ. I think there's a lack of real honor 4ppl these days. I follow God and am clear, but He tells us to follow ppl too. Pastors, Politicians, Teachers and the 1st commandment w/ promise was honor mother and father; Ppl. And sometimes even when they are wrong. It is the HolySpirit alone that tells us to change course, even tho we speak truth. See david and Saul. And no doubt David reaped that goodness with the prophet Nathan. Consider. Be careful. Their are men by commandment we are to follow and honor. Be careful. Be led by the Spirit only, not natural things. Be careful. I've corrected and honored and am worthy of honor. This is right. Talk like this is why there is so much disrespect for leaders especially in the Church and government and thus society is failing. I can't say it enogh becareful. This is why so many wolves or good ppl, but that are not graced get in positions and do much harm; intentional and unintentional. Who who we don't judge by actions but by the Spirit. Graced and sent we need more than ever. And if graced and sent worthy of our respect and all honer. If God promoted and honored them, how can we not? To treat any graced and sent by the Lord of lords, as just an insignificant middle man isn't right. Co-laborers with Christ, then joint heirs. Glory and honor and respect within the gates and without out of MENS bosoms is part of the overall prosperous package. The fullness of more than enough and all our needs met and perfection.
This is right. Consider. It is a straight and narrow way. Ponder and meditate. If its just God, every one who's ever done any thing for the Lord should give back every paycheck, every reward, and all accolades.
Dudes. Something welled up in me seeing this post. Its part of the problem. I am more than a middle man, I am one with Him. I am of the Body of Christ. How can any be this and be treated differently. But no. All the law is fulfilled not in loving God, whereas included in love is honor, glory, and respect, but it is with that love our ability to love our neighbors, even our enemies, AS ourselves. Is not leadership included? Nay much more so. Paul talks of his power as an Apostle to this or that, but he of the Spirit and wisdom about what is expedience humbly does differetly. But be clear! Paul decided! It is not for the follower to humble the leader, nor the student the teacher, nor the congregant the Pastor, nor the constituent the President or any rep. But if led by the Spirit and moved for their souls sake and that of all they are over, we correct and give truth, we do so, by move of God and promotion by God only! Like Nathan, like Samuel, like Elijah, like Moses father in law. But not like the son of Noah that didn't cover but finger pointed, and not the one that killed Saul, and not like others. Consider guys. Our time is here. Want respect, even if you miss it, give it fully, and wholly and in all respects. I have track record! Holy, God seen track record! Sorry about long windedness and lack of structure, but we have to get here. The church first, then the world!
Much, much love!

PS please do not take this as a greenlight or evidence that any illegal activity and crime should be covered by anyone in the Church or world, leader or not. Two different matters. Crime must be dealt with, but it is possible other sins can be committed without God removing authority. And even if jail or punish is given, in jail or in some other way, it is not automatic that grace and ability is removed by God. We wink at not crime like thievery and molestation, but there's been adultery and other bouts of immorality where leadership is still to be in place and honored no matter how hard it becomes. Its a heart thing. But there is an end and breaking point. We judge in these non criminal things case by case! Peace. True peace.
