Brothers and sisters, everything in life has a process to it, and nothing in life arrives at the moment of maturity immediately, because everything in life has to grow!
Brothers and sisters, even the sun has a process, for there is a moment when the sun is not seen or visualized, but when it arises to its maturity, then nothing is hid from its heat, and all creation benefits from the suns maturity!~
All the trees, all vegetation, all the land, and all nature itself benefits from the suns maturity, and they all have their process of growth and maturity in themselves, for everything in life has a process of growth and maturity, except truth, because truth is what truth is, now you might come to knowledge of truth through growth and maturity, but truth does not have a growth process, because truth has always been, truth has always existed, truth is there just waiting on you to find it and seek it out, that it may be found by whom it is ordained for, truth is what truth is, but is truth for you, that is the question?~
A religious man said some disturbing things the other day, and what he said totally abolished the process of growth and maturity in all GOD’S people, for he said, you do not have the HOLYGHOST if you are struggling with drugs, addictions, pornography, alcohol, sex, fornication, or any other vises that may have a hold upon you!
But the reality of truth is this, just because you have been saved, that does not mean you just over-ride the growth and maturity process!
Brothers and sisters, if what this man is saying is true, then he’s saying King David was not spirit filled, and he didn’t have the power of GOD in him, and we all know King David was filled with the holy ghost, and he committed adultery, murder, fornication, and deceit, and yet GOD did not take him off the throne, and GOD himself said, “King David is a man after my own heart!”~
Are you saying Samson did not have the anointed power of GOD in his life, because he was a man that was fornicating with Delilah a woman who was not his wife, and this same woman caused him to be betrayed, and yet after Samson had his eyes put out and imprisoned, because of his sin, he yet regained the anointing that had left him, and the anointing came back stronger than it was before it left him!~
Brother and sisters, Some people don’t know what they’re talking about, they’re just a judgmental people who would rather judge a man or woman, than to help them, pray for them, and ask GOD to heal them!
Brother and sisters, sin is sin, and there is no greater sin than another sin, if what you’re saying is truth, then if you lie you are not holy ghost filled, if you steal you are not holy ghost filled, for sin is sin in the eyes of GOD, and there is no sin greater than another sin!
But all struggling sins are strongholds in a believer’s life, for it is an addiction, and it is a stronghold in the lives of many people, but you don’t personally know the process of any man or woman’s path in life, and you are not the GOD of their salvation, only GOD is!
And for you to say a man or woman does not have the holy ghost, because he or she struggles with a weakness like crack, pornography, drugs, crime, or any sin against GOD, then you’re saying you are the master of GOD’S holy spirit, and you direct the spirit of GOD where it comes from and where it goes!~
What people fail to realize about the lives of everyday people, and the people in the bible it this, those stories about the sin in the lives of King David, Samson, Jonah, and King Mannasseh did not happen overnight, and neither did they happen in a short period of time, it just seems that way, because you’re reading chapters of a book, but real life does live life like you read the chapters of a book!~
For real life is real, and time regulates all the lives of all people on the face of this earth through the reality of time!~
For there is a time and season for everything in life!~
(Ecclesiastes 3:1-11) To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
What profit has he that works in that wherein he labors?
I have seen the travail, which God has given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. He has made every thing beautiful in his time: also he has set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end.
Brothers and sisters, Jonah was a prophet of GOD, and Jonah ran from the call of GOD upon his life, and the lives of other people became effected, because of Jonah’s choice to run from GOD!
But the run, the boat, the men upon the boat, and the whale that swallowed Jonah, all of them were apart of Jonah’s process!
And GOD himself says, rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, but yet GOD allowed Jonah to repent, and Jonah was still GOD’S chosen anointed prophet, even while he was walking the sin of rebellion!~
For neither Jonah, King David, Moses, Samson, the apostles Paul, King Mannaseh, or JESUS could escape their process!~
For even JESUS had to grow up to become the mature son of GOD, for JESUS had to experience the process of life, because he became subject to the reality of time, because he took off eternity to experience life from man’s perspective!~
(1 Timothy 3:16) And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
(Philippians 2:5-11) Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
