No Steps

Home > Pastor's Blog > No Steps

I don’t want to leave an impression that I’m attacking anyone. I am quite aware there are a lot of good books out there, not saying this boasting, I could write a book on any subject. I just let you know where I come from.

For instance, I’ll just use figures, 3 steps to salvation. What about the thief on the cross, what about the Philipian jailer, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, was all Paul said to the jailer that night, not only to him but the message was to all his household. Well you know you can get this book, 7 steps to your healing. When Peter and John went up to the temple to pray. When they saw the lame man at the gate. He was asking alms, did they say ? “Well you know I have none, you should read this book on healing, well you know you should get it, it only costs $20.00″

My friend, my healing was paid for by the forty stripes my Jesus received on His back that day in Pilots judgment hall.

Yes friend, Peter said, silver and gold have I none but such as I have give I unto you in the name of Jesus, rise up and walk. The Bible says, he received strength in his ankle bones and walked.

In acts chapter 20, here Paul is preaching till late in the night, a young man fell the Bible says, and was taken up dead after falling from the upper chamber. Now what a mess up if Paul had said to him, “now young man, you have to follow 10 steps and I’ll raise you up.” Nice thing telling a dead man to follow certain steps. Come on friend get real.

One more, don’t leave me yet. Now you follow these steps to receive the Baptism in the Holy Ghost. What about Acts chapter 19? They didn’t know if there was a Holy Ghost or not, but the Bible says that while they yet spake, the Holy Ghost fell upon them and they spake with tongues as the spirit gave them utterance. Not what someone told them to speak.

Come on, I could go on but lets not make merchandise of the Gospel. Preach the Gospel in all it’s purity and power, if it don’t work try the 3,7,8,10 or whatsoever steps on yourself. God forbid, I speak the truth in Love.

I believe Gods word and very little do I dwell on except the Word. I know there are a lot that will not argue on this one.
