a whitewashed tomb full of dead men's bones!

There's an ache in my heart that so many sweet and sincere followers of Jesus seem to not know well enough the revelation of the real God within themselves to distinguish how different is the tradition of men.  Having been raised in religious error, or being indoctrinated by those surrounding them subsequent to a conversion experience, they ignorantly waver in awareness of the true nature of the only God, often unaware that they bend low before an evil idol.  But the light is at hand, for the glory of the Lord arises upon us.

Translators and verse weavers who have either not entered or dwelt long in the presence of God manifesting in power have claimed the right to define what is right for the rest of us to believe.  Their yea saying students, not drinking deeply enough to stay inebriated with the Holy Spirit, gruffly reinforce superficial assurance that, "This is the true way," while covering an underlying life without any God displaying Himself to which they can bear witness.  Many have come out from among them and sat at the feet of rabbi Messiah.  We're sitting down at the little lamb's wedding party where the wine of six thousand years' wisdom is being poured.  Its joy unspeakable  and full of glory.

So many false judges are not enough exercised in God's Holy Word to compare its relevant good with another spirit to even judge themselves.  Yet these are the very ones who expect us to yield authority to them on the basis of mutual approval networks with other blind guides.  The holy people are abandoning them and those submitted to them to the cages they build for themselves.  Happy like someone going out with a flute on the way to the Lord's mountain, to the rock of Israel (cp., Isaiah 30), we're dancing and singing as on a festival night, entering the citadel of God.

On every side, clamoring for attention and support, are professional preachers who have not searched with ardent love for the Divine husbandman.  Those who genuinely yearn for His caresses recognize them because they cannot give them any useful direction into His chambers.  Only from repeatedly sowing and reaping the Divine seed can His nature in authoritative revelation shine unmistakably forth from the innermost.

I know this because I have been at length liberated and changed from having been a whitewashed tomb full of dead men's bones!
