Based on Pastor Livington’s Central Church December 7, 2025 message.

This is how The Lord God touched me deeply through it.

A few days been quietly pondering and having an anguish over different leaders telling me I’m not qualified to serve but not using legitimate biblical passages. Recalling the passages in James about not respecting persons, and 1 Samuel 16, 2 Corinthians 10, about we look at someone per the flesh but God looks at the heart, plus others.

For decades, much of the western Christianity, has been using very secular and fleshly bible interpretation techniques, instead the biblical way, by and through The Holy Spirit.

In prayer, heard through The Word of God these words.

Bible studies and testimony of Jesus Christ.

A continuation of the last lesson, only going through most of the same verses with a few examples of sins plaguing the American churches in our day.

Starting base is Revelation 2:5.

It is the unction of The Holy Spirit who has given many this warning and especially for our day and it both grieves God and in knowing there are many “churches/ministries/people” running running around our nation acting under Matthew 12:43-45 and 1 Samuel 16:14 did.

Many times in The Word of God, the word, women/woman, is figurative and not just physical (literal).

Figuratively women is representative of the bride of Christ Jesus.

Note this passage is saying they want to be called by The Lord’s name, but continue living and doing what they always been doing.

Most all folks who attend churches each week, even on multiple days perhaps, across America are actually sinning against God because we’ve become too much like Martha and not enough like Mary, in our church service preparations, even our lame prayer times. Jesus calls us to spend more time being like Mary, which will lead to being obedient in the works during the Martha times.

Recalling the worldly line “blowing smoke” or blowing sunshine up another’s _____” has been done by preachers to give soft words to church members to keep them seeking money, to tithe more and keep them happy and contented with this world and to keep them from growing in Jesus Christ

Back in mid-2021, while studying Isaiah, arrived at chapter 45, verse 3, and prompted by The Holy Spirit to do this study and know him more. There are a number of passages was shown; however, the highlights are as follows:

John 3:19-20, Daniel 2:22, Songs 2:14, 1 Kings 9-18, Matthew 14:23, Galatians 1:15-2:2, Matthew 4:16, Matthew 10:27 & Luke 12:3, Proverbs 2:4, Psalm 143:8.

However the greatest blessing: Growing in the knowledge and intimacy of God In Christ Jesus by The Power of The Holy Spirit.
