Proclaim the Word
Scripture: Isaiah 53:4-5Devotional Series: Stand Up
Teaching: Stand Up pt. 1 (SUN_AM 2021-10-24) by Pastor Star R Scott
To refuse to believe that is to defy God and to defy His Word. We’re living in that culture right now. When people ask you, “What is your worldview?” My view of the world is it’s messed up. That’s my worldview. My worldview is I believe in the kingdom of God. I believe in the lordship of Jesus Christ. I believe that God’s Word is truth, and everything that disagrees with it is a lie; amen? Absolutely, unequivocally, and nothing you say will ever change my mind. That’s where the church needs to be, today. If the church is not taking that stance, they will hear, “Depart from Me, I never knew you.”
When I woke up this morning, and I lay there, I began to pray for Cade and others who are just in such pain right now, warring in their bodies. Katie, others of you. I figured if I’m going to be here awake in pain, I might as well pray for somebody who’s really in pain. I began to intercede on their behalf and just believed God to confirm His promises to them and raise them up; amen? Just heal their bodies. It’s so clear, Isaiah 53, He bore our pain on His body on the tree so that we don’t have to bear it; praise God!
But where is the church, today, standing? We don’t really need to defend the Word of God. We need to proclaim the Word of God. It’s sufficient of itself; amen? When we get down to true, biblical Christianity, the love of the Word of God, the Word of God being the final authority, everything in society today is flying in the face of it. We see it as something that is just in the secular realm as though it has no influence on us. One of the most diabolical, damnable, demonic, Satanic accomplishments and—looking for another adjective, but you’ll get it—that has infiltrated the church—it’s always been there, but I’m talking about the acceptance of it today—is what we would call the feminist movement. How many of you know it’s got a little popularity, today? Where are all of these big-name preachers? Where are all of these people that so much of the church is looking to? Let me remind you of one thing: all of the big names and all of this stuff, the reason they’re that way is because of compromise. You can’t teach biblical holiness and build these super churches. It’s impossible when there’s few that find this true path that we’re looking for. The head of the man is the woman. What does the Bible say? The head of the woman is the man. Woman was created for man; man was not created for the woman. Do you hear that preached anywhere? Where are you hearing that? That’s not acceptable, today. Society will rise up and say, “That is unacceptable. It’s antiquated. It’s prejudicial. It’s bigoted. It verges on the greatest crime known to man: bullying.” What a sick society we’re in.
