THE GODLY MAFIAS

They are seen residing in churches or/and you may associate with these individuals on a daily basis within your family, friends and acquaintances circle.

How then do you distinguish a true believer, versus the Godly Mafias, who do believe, Jesus Christ is Lord and Messiah; but they don’t follow in His Holy Spirit filled driven works and His unconditional Love for ALL people, regardless of their religion, caste, creed, gender.

The answer: The power packed, Holy Spirit gifts filled leading, sets the real deal apart. Which means they are not ashamed to get out of their comfort led teachings!

The Godly Mafias learn, know a few verses by heart, dwell only on them; in essence they have gained their knowledge when attending Theology College or/and gained insights by reading a few books out there.

In this era, Godly mafias preach the WORD to fill their pockets; not fill or enlighten souls. They preach in subtlety; not authority. They built and lead dead, lifeless, condemning natured individuals. Salvation cannot be beaten into a non-believer; however it has to be spoken out loud with power and penitence is not freeing, if a person is threatened to be damned cast into hell if he dares to refuse to accept his sins openly.

Jesus Christ is the Lord and Messiah; and it is the foundation of our faith. It is through Him and only in Him you will find salvation and freedom from sin. That is a Christian truth. But our God is not intrusive. His timings to save another are perfect. Why then do the Godly mafias get desperate? Are their intentions for God, or to prove them and their church as worthy?

What is next after you have been saved? Yes, there is a next…next…next…and next…next…….
Building a relationship with HIM is your subsequent step, then, walking in obedience, his guidance to spread His WORD and being a doer of His gifts in you, is next.

Sunday after Sunday, people who have been saved are still searching for Jesus in churches. They come in drained, leave happy or yawning more and as they leave the premises they are back to being the same being; waiting for their next Spiritual hit the next Sunday.

When will it change!

When you consciously decide to build, spent time on your relationship (Holy Spirit filled lifestyle), before you walk out everyday assuming you know it all. No need to wait for a Sunday!

Once you have been filled of the Holy Spirit, the Bible will not render the same way as it did previously. It becomes a real life, high-definition, beyond 4D experience!

You begin to walk in the shoes of each and every follower named in the Bible, from the time of the Old Testament days.

Every WORD soak into your soul; seeping out the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit s—Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Knowledge, Fortitude, Piety and Fear of the Lord (Isaiah 11:2)

Recently, a friend of mine of a different faith came across a Bible verse which, if read on its own, was reproachful. They posted it on social media and asked for an explanation. They admitted they didn’t have a Bible, and was curious to know the context. Some of the messages read, “If you don’t have a Bible; I can send you one, only if you believe Jesus Christ is the Lord. Then, another spoke of false prophets, liars who bent the Bible to suit their needs…etc…

I did identify with both sides. But, not all Christians do now, do they?

One common feature in reply to each of the messages was the ones who replied to the post were Christians, fighting for God and indirectly I got the sense, condemning the person who asked the question for posting it; as well as upset at the creator of the post whoever he/she was.
Whosoever was the creator of the post, he or she was getting the satisfaction they had set out to uncover or had intended; discord and hatred spreading through the media world. After I explained to this friend what it meant, they sent me a private message asking to be prayed for and how they understood. Basically, Jesus touched them! This is not the first friend who has been curious about a verse interpretation. I have had many friends of different faith who have asked me question; some wanting to argue it out and to them I have said with love; I don’t try and win a one-sided fight. To those who have chosen to listen; I have talked about Jesus and his works in a way they understand. Just like we are all uniquely designed; our approach should be so if you are not standing on a pulpit. Discern the situation and person.

Discernment being the key word! One needs to understand there is a difference between malevolence and incomprehension (lack of understanding). There are those who deliberately set out to create hatred; then, there are those who question out of pure curiosity.

Not everyone who is questioning the Bible is evil or is looking to fight in the name of religion. Use your Holy Spirit gifts to determine!!!If you are not sure how to do so; ask God to teach you how to use them. To experience the presence of God, you have to be filled of the Holy Spirit. God is not biased; so why should you be! Being filled of the Holy Spirit is for ALL.
Don’t strive to be one of the Godly Mafias!

A Holy Spirit experience is not a one-time Goosebumps feel touch; it is one whereby casting your shadow can bring forth healing to another, in a manner they wouldn’t be able to fathom; yet want it evermore. Full of power and love; just like Jesus!
