Forgiving (10/21/06)

I recently received a letter from someone who thought my words were evidence of unforgiveness towards my enemies. Since this forum is my life expressed for a greater reason I’ll address that idea here. First I want to say the person who sent it is respected and loved by me and if this is for them only it is justified. I think there is a fallacy, or mistake bred into the church that is not consistent with the gospel. That is that we must endlessly dote upon our enemies. Quite frankly I think this is a corruptions of love that is selfish. It comes more from our fear of rejection and neediness than from a true love of our enemy. I have fasted and cried for my enemies and begged God to turn them from foolishness even knowing the whole time that I was called to speak to a people who would not listen. I am not like Jonah called to a people ready to repent. My ministry in this day is like Ezekiel who was called to rebels who will not listen to God more or less His agents. There have been thousands sent to tell them the kingdom of God is at hand, repent. They have not. Still they continue in their corruption of calling good evil and evil good. Ezekiel was made hard headed so he could din into these rebels that God was in charge. I don’t care if they repent or not. If they still wish to parade their arrogant ignorance as wisdom I will call them out, expose them, and declare boldly God is in charge. My forbearance and mercy are not greater than God’s. He will have mercy on whom He chooses. Though He wishes none to perish He still says “To Hell with you” to numbers far greater than “well done.” God has a work to do far more important than your personal finance which most of you don’t see clearly. Dorean is just the starting line in a much bigger race. Many of my comments have the whole race in context. My enemies on truth are not mine anymore than the truth is mine. I speak the truth of God and they condemn it. They are God’s enemies and fools to the highest degree. The one’s who call themselves Christian or saved being the greatest fools for their disobedience exposes their real master. What do you think the universe is presently but a battlefield of God and His enemies. The earth and the sons of Adam merely being center stage. God said by sin comes death yet He forgave and accepted the faithers such as Abraham, Jacob, David and others. The accusers challenging His integrity and righteousness calling Him a liar. His plan, gospel and work is to shut the mouths of these fools once and for all for all eternity. Don’t you think what happens on the whole happens in microcosms on this stage? I’m here to shut the mouth of fools. I taunt them, tempt them, and encourage them to be themselves. So at the end of their cutting themselves, doing their dances, and pleading to their fake gods, like as with Elijah, they will be exposed as frauds and destroyed before the people. Forgiveness is a unique expression of a very loving God but it has never been dispensed willy-nilly. He has objects of wrath like pharaoh and Esau and objects of grace who in obedience run to His word. Forgiveness is a face to face act. When these people keep showing their ass they only deserve the boot of truth to be firmly planted. Do I want to see them destroyed? They are destroyed already. Some have turned and I have embraced them look in the archive. Integrity causes my forehead to be like flint that strikes out against the lie.
