SONS OF GOD HAVE NO BIRTH DEFECTS

It is my responsibility as an apostle to the Body of Christ to identify and destroy any mindset that exalts itself above the knowledge of God. There are many teachings in the Body

of Christ on the disposition of the mind that have grossly undermined the work of the cross. In this discussion the mind is used to refer to the soul or heart. Let us take a look at the big picture for a moment. Depression, frustration, unforgiveness, jealousy, evil imagination etc., are all dispositions of the mind. They are mere manifestations of the operations that take place in

the soul. Christianity has established spiritual psychiatric wards to deal with these ills. Thus, we have Christian Psychiatry designed to walk the Sons of God through their spiritual deficiencies. Our counseling appointments have become therapeutic sessions in which the clergy spends most of its time trying to heal or change mental dispositions. This is heresy! Listen to me carefully. When we the leadersnin the Body of Christ, entreat depression, unforgiveness, hurts from offenses, evil imaginations and such dispositions as birth defects in the children of God, we dishonor God and bring Christ to an open shame. I hope you will open your heart to hear what the Spirit is about to say to you.

Consider the following passages.

James 3:10-12

10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?

12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

Look at the impossibilities here. A fig tree cannot produce olives, nor does a fountain send forth salt and fresh water. You must accept the principle here. If olives are found on a tree it is because the tree is an olive tree. If a fountain produces salt water, it is because the source of the fountain is salt water. The same is true of our walk in God. God created each Son whole and complete, not emotionally crippled and wanton. If we walk after the flesh, we will mind the things of the flesh. Likewise, we will produce the character and emotions associated with the flesh. But if we walk after the Spirit, we will mind the things of the Spirit and produce the attributes and emotions of the Spirit of God. The bottom line is, it is impossible to walk after the Spirit and produce the character and emotions of the flesh. Deep emotional pain, spiritual deficiencies, iniquity and wantonness are not attributes of the Spirit of God. In fact, there is no captivity of the mind that is characteristic of a born-again believer who walks after the Spirit.

What is the mindset here? Leadership in the Body has accepted the great lie. They believe that these ills will always exist in the Body of Christ and that there will always be defects in the born-again believer. God is not impotent! He is mighty in all that He does. Salvation is no exception. It is the mighty hand of God in the salvation of the Sons that is on trial here. Every time

leaders in the Body entreat sin and emotional disorders such as depression, frustration, offenses and unforgiveness as spiritual deficiencies, they help to validate satan’s inference that God is an impotent God unable to keep that which He saved out of the world. If the Sons of God were born with birth defects that made them victims of the same captivities as unbelievers, then where is the power of their God? I submit to you that it is the erroneous doctrines and perspectives regarding the born again experience that is at the root of this controversy. In all the years that I have been a member of the Body of Christ, which are more than fifty, I have never really heard the gospel of Jesus Christ preached in its entirety.

I have heard the message of a suffering servant and redeemer. I have read many books about the plight, the disposition and position of the Sons even as you have. We have heard many preachers proclaim the day of the manifested Sons of God. We marched through the Christian theatrics and fads: “Name it and claim it,” “The King’s kids,” “Step on the head of the devil,” and the most hilarious of all, “M o n e y ... cometh.” We were even privileged to hear sermons exemplifying the fact that we can do all things through Christ. But what was the bottom line? When the rubber met the road, we were still crippled by emotional pain, suppressing true desires and struggling to maintain righteous character on a daily basis. We went to conventions and conferences looking for the magic formula. We wanted to hear something that would end the struggle and cause us to walk in the power of the Holy Ghost. We knew enough to know that we were missing something. Because we didn’t know what we lacked, we continued to hunger and search for the knowledge, the prophecy, or the laying on of hands that would finally catapult us into that long sought after place of power.

Most of us wanted to work ministry. So after long years of missing the mark and waiting for a power miracle, some left their seats of boredom and embarked on the trail of

ministry that had been blazed by many who had the same frustrations. But I had never heard the truth about His indwelling in us until the Lord revealed this awesome reality to me.

Do you really believe that it is the heart and mind of God for His people to journey through life day after day trying to sort out their paths through a maze of false doctrines

that promise the world but delivers nothing? What about inner healing counseling that can only place bandages on our wounds, and sermons, void of the power to perfect character?

No wonder there is such hopelessness in the people of God. There has been so many years of false hope delivered to them, until the declaration that there are new voices with a new revelation coming to the forefront does very little to excite them. They have seen and heard too much. That is why the wisdom of God demanded that I remain at home with the flock until I produced the evidence of the truth I am sent to carry to the Body. If I am not successful in making you understand this monumental principle, which is at the very core of your salvation, the writing of this book will have the same effect as putting a band-aid on a gunshot wound. You will have learned a few more truths without the power to execute them. The key to power is the knowledge of God. It is the sure Word, pure and full of the purpose of God. It is not doctrines devised from the failure of men to walk in the righteousness of God. I know that your struggle to live holy and to be free from lingering hurts can be over if I can make you know the truth about the things God has freely given to His children. Stop for a moment and pray that clarity will come to your heart as you embark on this journey to the heart and mind of the Father. There are many who have grown up in the Lord with me and we are the proof that you can live in this world free from sin and the crippling emotions satan uses to snare the Sons. Continue to read and I will show you how to win “The Thought War.”
