Inspired Letter: to Christian Pastors

THE STORY: November 2010 - One day, I found my self speaking these words — with
tears & conviction. Full of compassion & anger at the same time. Anger - because the
Lord is not pleased with what the “Christian” churches today are doing. Compassion -
because many are being led astray. Especially those who are church-sitters, because
their shepherd is not encouraging them how to grow. Because their shepherd is
always indirectly telling them that they should rely on them, they should rely on their
sermon, so they need to attend church every sunday, so they need to attend the
seminars/classes. But those church-sitters, are always hearing but never learning &
never growing. Church-sitters are going to church every sunday, but during the rest of
the week, they sin, they curse, they lust, they boast, they forget about the Lord.
So what do you call those kind of people? Hypocrites.

This is 4 pages back-to-back poorly written letter addressed to our church. But since,
the Lord revealed to me, that it is not just in our church, but also to other dead christian
churches across the globe - growing physically - but not growing spiritually. So, the
Lord told me to share it to others - even though I want the letter to be kept secret.

The sunday that I left this letter in the tithe box - I said to myself, that I will ask the Lord
first if He really wanted me to give this letter. But before I asked Him in my mind, He
already answered my question. I donʼt know if the pastors read this letter. I donʼt know
if the Lord spoke to them about this. I donʼt know. Itʼs just between them & the Lord.

If you are a church goer, whatever “christian” you are, as long as you believe in Jesus
Christ & you pray to God — read this letter. If you found that you or your “church” is
guilty of these things, I must warn you that you are spiritually in trouble with the Lord.
You must put more effort in seeking Him & knowing Him more & more. Until you feel
the Spirit of Christ within you.

Dear Pastors,

I have some few questions. Questions that have been guided by the Holy Spirit.

1. Is God not pleased with our current worship hall? Did God said that we should build
a bigger worship hall?

Pastors, we already know that we are living in the end times. God will come anytime &
who knows that the worship hall is finished at that time? Or if it had been finished, who
knows how many years we would be able to use it? We know that we will just stay
here for a few time. And we know that God already has prepared a room for everyone
where we will worship Him. Does God really need a new worship hall? Is this Godʼs
desire? Or manʼs desire? Is God not satisfied? or man is not satisfied?
We can have a fellowship with God anywhere. In fact, did God not always provided for
us a place to worship Him even if we are moving from place to place? What Iʼm saying
is that, it is a different situation this time. We know that we are living in the end times &
we should live it wisely & use our money wisely. Does not God always say to help the
poor? Why are we spending our money on things that we know will eventually perish?
Why not spend it to save other lives & other souls? We are not only helping them, but it
is also an opportunity to share the gospel. Do you think that after the building has been
finished, do you think that those who are poor would want to go there? Of course not!
They would just feel shy & awkward to be in that big worship wall. They would just feel
less of themselves. We know that the poor cannot go to us, so we should come to them
& help them. God said to always look after the poor. And we who love God should
know that & should be mindful of them - of their lives - of their souls. We already know
that we will be save, then why should we still focus on ourselves?

We should be more focus to save other souls. Donʼt you think God would be more
pleased with that? We should focus on ministering to the slums area. As we know -
there are many slums area just here in Luzon. We know that we are more blessed than
them. Shouldnʼt we share our blessings to them? Our money that will be used for the
building that will soon perish, will be more useful if we will reach out others instead of
inviting them to go to our church.

As I can observe, our church would want to follow the style of the lakewood church
with thousand seating capacity. But we should remind ourselves that Filipinos are not
rich as Americans, no matter what we say. We know that poverty is very common in our
country & we as christians should focus more on that — helping the poor. Just think
about this pastors, what would God want? A perishable building for Him? or for us to
reach out & help others, most especially THIS END TIMES..?

2. Dear Pastors, I want to know where do you follow your teachings? from manʼs
ways? famous foreign authors? or Godʼs ways?

Is Bible not enough? Is God not enough? That we should rely on teachings of man?
Man, no matter how great his faith is, he is still a man. He can be tempted. He can
teach false doctrines without him knowing it Any man can fall back from his faith until
we are here on earth. Shouldnʼt it be that God is the only one that we should ask about
His Word?

Another things is that, people & even pastors are having disagreement about the
scriptures. You know why? Because they are basing it from their own understanding.
If they ask God for the answer, for sure every pastor will have an agreement & no
arguments would take place. If there had been an argument, for sure it is not from God,
but from human knowledge & understanding. The truth is that anyone can have a clear
understanding of the Bible — IF —they would always ask for GODʼs WISDOM before
doing so. And we know that God looks at our hearts & weighs our motives.
Is HE not the author of the bible? Is it too hard for HIM to reveal it to HIS people?
Most especially those who humble themselves & earnestly seek Him? Why should we
rely on manʼs teaching rather than focus on GOD ALONE? Is man a great teacher
RATHER THAN GOD? I would want to warn you pastors. Do not always rely on man,
on what you see in the churches in the United States.
PLEASE RELY ON THE LORD GOD ALONE.

Rick Warren, Billy Graham, Joel Osteen — Find time to research about them on
youtube or google. They are prominent “christian” figures, but they are not perfect;
FOR GOD IS THE ONLY PERFECT ONE! You would find what is wrong with their
teachings if you really have the Spirit of Christ within you.

3. You always challenge us to read the Bible; but you are forgetting to remind us that
before doing so, we should ask for Godʼs wisdom first! So that the Holy Spirit will guide
us & lead us into all truth.

Is it really necessary for the people to attend the GLC? And GLC — again, came from
the States, right? If people would really want to share the gospel, or would want to help
people; why is it that you are offering the classes for a fee? Why do the christian
authors still sell their books if they are serious in sharing the gospel? Yes, nothing is
for free today. But this is the WORD OF GOD that we are talking about! Did the
apostles share the gospel for a fee? Did Jesus teach his disciples for a fee? In fact,
everything we need to know is written in the Bible clearly. Those who seek God
earnestly will understand that because God is their great teacher. Do you want people
to know God because you taught them? or because they know God personally by
spending time with Him? Leaders & pastors will just be an instruments to know the
Lord. But you must instruct them to personally know God & learn from God! You must
always remind them to follow Christʼs teachings, NOT the interpretation of this & that!
Jesus Christ is the only great teacher!

4. Next, what is the us of the quizzes, grades & graduation? Learning from the Lord will
never stop unless we are here on earth. Even in heaven, we will continue to know
more about the Lord in our everyday walk with Him. You have levels 1, 2, 3, 4 & do you
mean that those who didnʼt attend that knows nothing? and will not have a right to lead
others to Christ? If that is really for the love of God, why do you teach for a fee?

About the quizzes, what if anyone will fail? what if anyone is having a hard time
memorizing scriptures? Memorizing by mind will not help us to remember it. All those
quizzes & grades are just putting pressure to others, instead of enjoying while knowing
the Lord. Godʼs word is not meant to be memorize forcedly just to have high grades,
just to graduate from a bible class or seminar! Godʼs words will be put in the minds &
imprinted in the hearts of those who truly love the Lord. They will eventually memorize
the scriptures, even everything, because of reading Godʼs word over & over again!
And they are doing that because they love the Lord. Not because someone told them
to do so.It is an obedience to God.Obedience to Godʼs will & NOT obedience to men.
5. If you are really concern with the fellow christians — encourage them to always seek
the Lord in everything - before everything — encourage them to humbly ask for Godʼs
wisdom & be led by the Holy Spirit for them to understand the way, the Lord intended
it to be understood by HIS people. Encourage them to seek God ALONE - in their
rooms . Not encourage them to attend this & that - join this & that. One can only know
the Lord personally by spending time with Him. Not by being surrounded with people!

Dear pastors, I grew up attending our church, but I was never really a christian. And
you should be concern with that, because not everyone in our church is really a
christian. Not everyone is a true “follower of Christ.”

I never attended any class & seminar, but I have come to personally know Jesus Christ
& I can feel the Holy Spirit within me. It is the Holy Spirit that led me to write these
things to you.

I will tell you that no matter how long a person spent studying the Bible, if God is not
with them & they are not doing it for the love of God, everything is useless. I am happy
to say that in a few months time (most likely 2 months), I have come to personally know
Jesus Christ & He always guides me in understanding His Word. That is why I am
telling you that a person needs not to consult man to understand the Bible. They must
seek Jesus Christ Himself. It is much fulfilling to understand the Bible, coming from our
great teacher alone.

At first, I was shocked with the things that I am learning, but God always confirms it by
the experience of others who also humbly seek Jesus & is guided by the Holy Spirit. I
have met other christians across the world, who had the same revelations as I have. It
was the same teachings that the Lord had taught me & you can assure that it is from
the same Spirit, the Holy Spirit guiding us all the time. We know that whatever
understanding we have from reading the Bible is not by our knowledge & wisdom but
from God alone, led by the Holy Spirit to the truth in His Word. And with that amazing
revelations from the Spirit of Christ, I was truly changed. Changed without effort of my
own flesh, but changed by the Spirit of Christ whoʼs working in me. Who changed my
heart & my mind to be more like Him. For it is no longer I, but Christ who lives in me.
The miserable person was gone. And because of the Holy Spirit, there is a fire of faith
burning within me, a compassion to others, a passion to share to the world what Jesus
Christ has done in me. How the Lord amazingly changed me from the inside out. That
even I never imagined I would be changed to the kind of person I am now. That truly,
this kind of change, is only by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Maybe you could ask others if they are really a christian? I know I was in doubt before,
even though I grew up attending a christian church. But now that the Holy Spirit is in
me. I am proud to say that I am a Christian. I am sealed by the Spirit of Christ. I am of
the Lordʼs. I am a believer. A follower. A servant. A disciple of Christ. I am a child of
God. An heir to His inheritance.
Who is a true Christian then? the real followers of Christ? It is those who take their
cross & follow Jesus. By taking their cross & following Christ, means crucifying their
own human flesh, with their sinful human desires. And allowing the Holy Spirit to lead
them everyday of their life. A true follower of Jesus, does not love the world - does not
love everything in the world — for it is evil. He who is friends with the world, is an
enemy of God. A true follower of Christ, does not keep on sinning, does not keep on
living in their sinful life. Because a true follower of Christ, knows what is wrong. And
knowing that it is a wrong, a true follower of Christ, does not choose to keep on doing
the wrong things.

1 JOHN 1:5 − 1 JOHN 2:15-17 — 1 JOHN 2:27 — 1 JOHN 3:9-10 — 1 JOHN 5:18-20
HEBREWS 8:10-11 — JOHN 8:31-32 — JOHN 8:47 — JAMES 1:26-27
JAMES 4:4 — JAMES 4:13-17

Ask our fellow Christians & let them judge themselves.

I am just concern, because I used to believe that I am saved because I was born in a
Christian family, I go to church every Sunday, I pray to God & He answers my prayers.
Until the Holy Spirit revealed to me the meaning of a true christian - a true follower of
Jesus Christ.

I also wanted others to be sure if they know the meaning of being a christian - a true
follower of Christ - and if they are sure that they are saved or the Lord will just say to
them, “Away from Me, you workers of iniquity!”

————————————————————————————

Malachi 2:16 “I hate divorce,” says the Lord God of Israel.

I remember pastor told before that someone is arguing about this.

Well, this clearly states the answer. No need to have an argument.

Lastly, about the (Faith & Deeds) in James 2:14-26

I notice that some churches is using to argue that — “faith & deeds” is the passport to
heaven. Most especially, James 2:20 “You foolish man, do you want evidence that
faith without deeds is useless?”

If you would see the example in the next verses, he is talking about Abraham offering
his son Isaac - Rahab giving lodging to the spies. The “deeds” is referred as an
“obedience” to God. Not by doing charity works!

Rather, they should emphasize that faith without obedience to the Lord is useless!
After all, it is by obedience that we show our love to God. It is by obedience that the
Lord wants His people to grow a relationship with Him. It is by obedience that He
wants His people to walk with Him. Because obedience is what pleases the Lord.
By obeying Him. By obeying His commands. By obeying His will.

No need to argue with that!

So, you see pastors? That is what I am saying. The word of God is being distorted
because they are using their own wisdom & knowledge to understand the scriptures.

Everyone may believe in God. Even the devils believe in one powerful God.
Others may call themselves a “Christian,” but Not everyone calling the Lord, knows
Him. For the Lord God is the only one who knows who are His children. So everyone
needs to make sure about that with God. Personally. One on One with God.

A child of God knows Godʼs voice. But if a person is just relying on manʼs teaching - if
he just knows the Lord because it was taught to them - how would they be able to
know the voice of God? Do you think that those people will recognize Godʼs voice?
A man will not know Godʼs voice unless he spends time with Him & personally know
Him.

Each person should make an effort to personally know the Lord & not just by going to
church & attending classes - seminars - retreats!

A person who knows the Lord, knows Godʼs word because God Himself taught him.
Not because the church taught him! Not because the pastors taught him!
Not because his parents or his friends taught him!

And this is what have been missing in Christianity — the true meaning of fellowship
with God that can be done alone at home.

If you would see those who started the “reformation,” they have scene the “LIGHT” of
the Word not because someone taught them; but because it was revealed to them by
the Lord through the Holy Spirit, while they were spending time with God & studying
His Word.

So no man can ever say that he cannot understand the Word of God - or the bible is
too hard to understand! Yes, we would not be able to understand it alone - using our
own knowledge, because our wisdom & knowledge of this world, is NOTHING
compared to the knowledge of God. So we should always ask for Godʼs wisdom & ask
to be guided by the Holy Spirit, that we would see the true “light” coming from His
Word; and that we would discover the wisdom & knowledge hidden to men of this
world.
Think pastors.

I am just a child of God concerned with my fellow brothers & sisters in Christ.

I did not study the Bible for years, but I study it with the Holy Spirit & I am studying it
more & more till every word of God will be imprinted in my heart & in my mind.

In just a few months, the Lord had taught me so many things already that my
knowledge of Christ is overflowing, and I will share everything to everyone in His time.

These things that I have written did not come from me, but from the Holy Spirit,
and to you pastors — you are the first ones, whom I had share these things.

Just let me be anonymous & I donʼt want to be known.

But consider these things and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you.

May the Lord God bless you and the Holy Spirit be with you all the time.

All Praises & Glory & Honor to God,

Our Creator, Almighty Father,
King of Kings & Lord of Lords,
In the Precious & Mighty Name
of His Son Jesus Christ,
Amen & Amen.
