Killing the messenger does not do away with the "Greater" reality that will follow someone God has sent. sw
Matt 28:18
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. NIV
How broad is the thought of "Delegated" authority within the body of Christ? Especially "Authority" that can NOT be trumped despite everything else which takes up time and space on Gods green earth?
Have you ever stopped to think what would happen if all of the heavenly assigned titles given to the body of Christ (church) for her beautification were somehow "Killed" off (Apostle's, Prophets, Evangelist, Pastors, Teachers)?
What would then become of the Hope of those specifically created beings (spirits) God has designed according to His nature (Spirit) to function in a specific capacity? Where would such spirits come to nestle as if where they belong?
Often times the outer casing (flesh and mind of the soul) has been prepared and educated to do certain things which pertain to the advantages that belong to this world, yet how prepared is the spiritual man beneath that outer casing?
Exactly how much outer pressure can that spiritual man inside sustain before all but being "Snuffed Out" like a candle?
Luke 9:57
As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."
Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head." NIV
When and where can the student find the teacher he's searching for?
Ezek 34:11-13
"'For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep.
I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.
I will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land. NIV
Jer 16:19-21
O LORD, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in time of distress, to you the nations will come
from the ends of the earth and say, "Our fathers possessed nothing but false gods, worthless idols that did them no good. Do men make their own gods? Yes, but they are not gods!"
"Therefore I will teach them — this time I will teach them my power and might.
Then they will know that my name is the LORD. NIV
John 10:24-26
24 The Jews gathered around him, saying, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."
Jesus answered, "I did tell you, but you do not believe. The miracles I do in my Father's name speak for me, but you do not believe because you are not my sheep.
NIV
Where will the spiritual oriented student encounter the spiritual teacher and how does the student find the teacher if the teacher is NOT obedient to his calling?
Is God only all about Jesus? Yes! Is Godliness only about Jesus? Yes!
Have you ever stooped to think about Your Love affair with God long enough to deeply consider His love For You? Exactly how much of what You Love is also Your God?
Many souls are more concerned with how the world will interprets their own efforts and expression(s) of Love as if a reflection of God's Love on themselves. Jesus didn't fore warn those who would follow Him about persecution that also lies ahead if such things were NOT coming would He?
I suppose one would also have to accept that He was also a prophet of God that truly can see and know what the future holds. How potent are His words when He tells those who say they believe, "He came to His own but His own did NOT receive Him? As well the telling of a prophet in his home town?
Mark 6:4-6
Jesus said to them, "Only in his hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor." He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. And he was amazed at their lack of faith. NIV
When Jesus is believed, there will come a time in a every God filled spiritual mans existence (life) where he finds himself rejected. If that man is not able to see what it is truly being rejected it's too easy to take it personal to then try and defend that position in your own strength (soul).
Many believers fall into this trap. They find themselves being compelled and encouraged by a "Competitive" spirit. Believing that God does not leave those who hunger and thirst for righteousness without eyes that can see and ears that can spiritually hear, the copy of this nature can also be observed among natural born siblings.
The sad part that begs to question this matter is, "Where is the spiritual father of the house"?
Don't allow your household to fall into such traps or become a "Known" suspect to such schemes. These efforts are only pointed at what all spiritual men who belong to God are faced with as a struggle while in this world.
Why is it in THIS world so many spend their lives trying to "Prove" their love for others? Could it have anything to do with being FOUND trustworthy? Found trust worthy Yes but to "Whom"?
Those who do study to show themselves approved know the answer, yet are they willing to acknowledge why their interest seems as if it's "Owed" and is being divided? Who are such people trying to prove themselves to?
Too many are blaming the world outside their homes instead of taking truthful inventory of the consuming world that's more than alive and doing well inside their homes.
How easy is it to suggest "After The Fact" what's done is done, only then to spend the remainder of time trying to find someone else to blame for our own "Divided" interest"?
The value of the suggestive suffix "Hood" is where everyone in the said "Hood" clearly understands the importance of not only headship, but also the devotion to the Lord required of that same headship.
Devotion to the Lord requires noncompetitive time, focus, dedication, meditation and the compassionate understanding of all the supportive and hopeful recipients who then find themselves increasingly dependent upon the net results of such due diligence.
Instead what this godly recommended model ends up looking like in most homes is like a houseful of artist with hammers and chisel's who are fighting over who's going to take the next swing at the ONLY block of marble in the house as if trying to carve out "Who's in charge"!
Instead of it being the matter of "Who's in Charge" why is this topic NOT being perceived as "Who has been Charged with the task and office of headship"? It's easy for a said "Homemaker" to suggest in a home everything has it's place, yet is this true in ALL instances?
Those who try to live by laws will find themselves without a home and those who ignore the spiritual calling of Love that governs the True Home will also fall.
Do the specific "Concerns" of a mans life he needs to be Free from also require names faces assigned before he see's them or has he been told in advance what they will look like when they present themselves?
Prov 15:25
The LORD tears down the proud man's house but he keeps the widow's boundaries intact.
NIV
Prov 19:13
A foolish son is his father's ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping.

NIV
What many fail to reason through as if what's at the root of the reason given why it's OK to marry while knowing these things will or can distract the attention of a person. What Paul was trying to inform those who have ears that can hear, "The requirements placed on you within the venue of marriage make it harder on your undivided devotion to the Lord"!
Paul not only received great revelation from God, but he also by way of reason came to know the dedication requirements to what he believed to be true in terms of being Sold Out to God. Revelation also somehow interprets into being "Awake". Paul had eyes and ears while living his own life and while observing the lives of others.
In no way was Paul suggesting that marriage is bad, instead he was using extremes to warn of the subtle onset and potential for distraction(s) that can rob the household of its rightful and Godly benefit(s).
1 Cor 7:8-9
Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

1 Cor 7:32-35
I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's affairs — how he can please the Lord. But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world — how he can please his wife— and his interests are divided . An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord's affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world — how she can please her husband. I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord.NIV

Jesus continually said in regards to OUR mutually acknowledged heavenly Father, "I only DO as I SEE the father doing"? Doesn't that sound more like a good, faithful, Older and more mature Brother speaking to up and coming siblings?
Jesus also said He did NOT consider it robbery to consider Himself as He did in the sight of God, didn't He? The Lord does NOT want His own to shy away from this similar identity, yet just as equal, don't forget to expect more of the same from this "Same" carnal mindset as did the First Born of the Beloved of God.
When you believe and learn to trust (know) what is True and what your truly battling against, it sure puts a lessor strain on the spiritual eyes and ears, yet without Love also being present you find yourself slaying those you had hoped to also Love as does the Lord.
Was the following counsel ONLY given to Timothy? And what is One mutual calling as if One accord without the "Competitive" struggle over "Who" is right?
God is faithful and will always show up where His will has been mutually and willingly accepted to be true and The power which in turn cast such things down. Acquiring enough faith for more than One is a hard thing to accomplish yet when God is one of those two or more in agreement only then can ten thousand be put to flight.
2 Tim 2:24-26
And the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil , who has taken them captive to do his will.
NIV
2 Tim 1:7
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity , but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
NIV
Eph 6:12
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood , but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
NIV
Rev 21:7-8
He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. But the cowardly , the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars — their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
NIV

The inhabitants of this world "Love" to claim to be imperfect, yet truly what is that makes them "Imperfect as compared to anything else?How closely tied to that thoughts along the lines of killing off those titled offices is the Rebellious heart which by way of its very nature suggest, "You're NOT nor is anyone else the boss of me"?
In what capacity DOES the voice of Truth then come calling or maybe even more accurately stated how can the voice of truth come calling once the death of those offices that been found acceptable?
Just because some refuse to accept the titles of those whom God has justified, does that somehow do away with the spiritual essence God intended to thrive from within those God given label's?
It's easy to read the biography of someones success years after the fact because it "Seems" to have become obvious (famous) to many, yet "During" the onset of the "Yet to to be a "Realized" cause of that success?
IF we were talking about Bill Gates or Warren Buffet the retelling of those life size stories are also traceable, yet what about the dimension of a God assigned spiritual man inside of them? Where are the foot prints of God in their lives?
What defines those special foot prints beyond others also said to belong to a being also known as "Sasquatch"?
Some might suggest a particular man was also a religious man or maybe even a God fearing Man, but truly what has been defined in that type of assessment or alignment with something "Obviously" greater?
Was the One true God revealed for who He is as if God was living "Through" that man as if vicariously through that mans life? OR was it more simplified because of what others were only willing to "Believe" to be TRUE about the Man instead of God?
The world loves to talk about "Potential" yet what about "True Potential"? Every "Atom" has potential as does a tiny molecule of water, yet what needs to accompany those finite attributes before they show forth their true potential?
Doesn't the very nature of a single molecule of water have to come into to agreement with the nature of "Itself" before any two tiny droplets then become "One"? And to think many believe their marriages last because they've observed how "opposites" attract while observing a magnet work?
Why was the Lord so fond of the title "Little Ones"? Could it have anything to do with a prophets reward which trails behind what has been spoken and that with authority?
Is part of what Christianity is being asked to believe that Jesus was truly given ALL Power And authority in heaven AND on Earth?
How powerful and valued are the very words of the Savior God sent? His own prayer offered up on behalf of those who will accept the Truth about Him?
Exactly when does a legacy die? At what point do words fully exhaust their potential?
John 17:20-23
My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.
May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me.
May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
NIV
Anyone who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and anyone who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward.
And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward."
NIV
I hope to be able to continue this at a later date, yet it's value is only equal to all that you're willing to believe is True.
