“ DON’T GO AFTER A WATERED DOWN GOSPEL!”
All of us at one time or another have taken a drink of something, coffee or tea for example, and added water to it so it would not be so strong:
Well, there are ministers out there that are preaching a watered-down Gospel:
Why? They do it for several reasons:
1) They don’t want to offend anyone:
2) They are pressured by people or those who have ordained them to water down their preaching or teaching, so it don’t offend anyone:
** Let me say this, If you are one that wants a watered-down gospel, ask God to forgive you: Pray in the spirit until you are free: Go through the scriptures and read the word out loud and see how it changes your life. Do this without changing anything: Ask God to teach you what the word says so it don’t have to be watered down.
Also, water down food is for little babies that may not be able yet to handle full, straight forward food. Once they grow a little, that watered-down food is not acceptable:
We all need to live the God kind of way and not let offense rule us. Offense destroys or covers up the truth, you may feel better at the time, but your growth in the word is stunted:
Again, Jesus did not water down his teaching, he taught the word as God his Father gave it to him and notice, he never apologized for telling things like it is:
He was not moved just because someone got offended: He spoke the words of his father, regardless of how many people accepted or rejected him: Read the scriptures for yourself and you will find out. Look at how many were offended by his words, but he gave no apology:
This world today is in-fact offended by the gospel just like it was in the time that Jesus walked the earth, but Jesus did not water the gospel down:
When you make a meal, you add ingredients to make it taste better to you: As for the word, I am not in any way telling you to add anything or take anything away from the word in order to make it taste better and make it easier to swallow:
The gospel needs to be taught or preached exactly the way Jesus did:
A watered-down gospel is why this world is in the shape it is: I will say it again, We do it because we don’t want to be offended or offend anyone. It could also be because, we don’t want to change the way we are living. Sometimes, that is what needs to be done. Change the way we are living!
You cannot expect the medicine to help you if you continue to cut the recommended dose in half: Again, for medication to work properly, you must take it as recommended by doctors etc.
The same with vitamins, we must take them as prescribed: If you cut them in half, you will get half of the results: When you do this, you say, well, these vitamins don’t help and so you stop taking them altogether:
Well, watering down the gospel is why people are saying, that word stuff does not work: Well, that is true, just like taking the dose of medicine or the dose of vitamins watered down:
Get into the word of God and learn it and read the directions yourself: Take the word of God as it is recommended, apply it to your life and stop being offended:
Find a church that does not water down the word and take it full force and see how things change in your life.
You will receive the truth and the truth will set you free: That is the way to live a victorious life:
REMEMBER: JESUS IS LORD!
