Will you be made whole? part three

You can love and be thankful for whatever spiritual heritage you grew up in but you MUST BE WILLING TO FORSAKE ALL to follow him. You must be like the apostles who, when Jesus said simply "follow me"(Jn:1:43), dropped everything, left father and mother and wife and children and followed. Built into the heart of every apostle is a burning desire to follow Jesus wherever he may lead, even forsaking their spiritual households if that is what Jesus requires. Like Abraham, we must all be willing to leave our place of familiarity, the land of our birth, our people, our home, and journey to a "land we do not know". Like children in the natural, it is unhealthy to remain in the homes they grew up in after a certain stage of maturity. They'll never fulfill their own destinies to start their own families if they don't leave and cleave. But realize, if you leave your church and denomination at God's insistence, "a man's foes shall be members of his own household" Mt:10:36. Yes, be prepared, for you will be ostracized, criticized, called all manner of ugly things, rebellious, can't submit to authority, etc. Some churches, or church leadership specifically, will even curse you if you leave them, or call you cursed by God.
Dear one, this is not God's way and is a clear sign you should have left to begin with. God does not cut off his love for those who leave him. He even loves his enemies (thank God for we all start out as his enemy). Any church or fellowship that curses it's members when they leave is not displaying God's heart for them. Apostles and prophets today are walking in the same uncompromising spirit of confrontational truth that Jesus walked in. Many churches could use instruction and wisdom on how to receive an apostle or prophet. The first truth they must embrace is that they exist today and they should be welcomed. Unfortunately, the enemy has sent many false apostles and prophets to the point that most pastors fear to let the real in. Pastor, you can't have a couterfeit 50 dollar bill without a real one.
Fear should never be our motivation for anything, anyway, except fear of God. Please understand, God is restoring the ministries of the apostle and prophet to the local churches, if they will receive them, but if leadership in the local church will not receive proper, God given authority to submit to, God will go over their heads and start a work that will honor and obey him and him alone. Apostles and prophets have governmental authority in the Kingdom of God, not pastors. Pastors are meant to be under their leadership and covering but not so the apostle can lord it over them but rather so he can serve them. The apostle is the head but the pastor is the heart. A head without a heart is dead just as a heart without a head is dead. Both are necessary just as both a mother and a father are necessary to raise a healthy child, though the father is the head of the household.
