A Personal Message from Mark Virkler
I find it amazing that the Apostle's Creed diminished the work of the
Holy Spirit by not stating one single thing the Holy Spirit does for us.
(
See the blog I wrote about it this month.)
Yes, when the early Church came up with this, they were combating the
Gnostic error of secret spiritual insights, but rather than state
balanced truth, they went way off in the other direction, giving the
Holy Spirit essentially
no place in Christian experience.
So we are reformers, restoring the Holy Spirit to His
rightful place in
our lives. We need to embrace what it means to be a reformer. We are
different. We are leaders in restoring a piece that was lost. We
challenge the status quo, but we do this in love. We challenge people to
a new and different lifestyle, knowing some will embrace it and others
will run from it and some will attack us. We help people overcome their
fears, their lack of understanding, and their misconceptions.
Many desire this lifestyle of intimacy with God through the Holy Spirit.
Some are adamantly against it. It is heartbreaking to hear people
preach against the Holy Spirit, telling parishioners that God no longer
speaks today, and their journaling is wrong and needs to be
discontinued.
I am sure it breaks God's heart, and it also makes Him angry. His
warning to those who would damage the faith of a young believer is that
it would be better for a millstone to be hung around their neck, and
them cast into the sea and drowned (Matt. 18:6). Wow! OK, make sure you
NEVER damage the faith of a young believer in Christ in any way.
I believe God will win, His Kingdom will continue to
grow, and you and I are on the cutting edge of restoring spiritual
intimacy between Him and His Bride. So let's press on together, arm in
arm, and saturate the world with the message that God wants to chat with
His children. Let's all spread this truth in every way we can to
everyone we can until the Bride and Groom commune once again!
Ignore the naysayers, the detractors, the name callers, those who
despise. They have no place with us, as they refuse to honor all people
(1 Pet. 2:17).
We honor all, love all, feel compassion
to all and reach out to all, expressing God's love. If some reject our
message we simply move on, finding those who are hungry and hurting
(Matt. 10:14).
The earth
will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord (Hab. 2:14). Amen!
