Did you know, you can have an electrical outlet in your home that is wired incorrectly yet still works and unless you know the signs to look for you would never know that your life was in jeopardy every time you used that outlet?
Yes, an outlet can be incorrectly wired and still work, but it can be dangerous. Here are some things to know about incorrectly wired outlets:
Unfortunately we have some reversed polarity in the church today where we have been thinking one way about something when it’s wrong the whole time.
We are all wired to the same God but bad doctrine and false teachings and religion has most of us wired backwards that eventually in the end will cause hazards and bad things to happen.———————————-
EXAMPLES: Here are a few lies and a few truths that unfortunately we get fed.
Lie👇Say I was taught that the Father is pretty upset and His patience with mankind is wearing thin and the only reason why He just doesn’t wipe us out is because Jesus keeps standing in between Him and me protecting me from the Fathers wrath. False teaching.
Truth👇
Then I am told a truth,We are to pray to the Father through Jesus or in His name with the power of Holy Spirit.——————-One lie and one truth. One distorted interpretation of God and one correctly interpreted truth.
And throughout our Christian walks we continue to be fed this way.One truth, one lie, one truth, one lie.
Over and over.
——And this is the results 👇——-
So now I go to prayer the proper way by praying to the Father through Jesus in the power of Holy Spirit however my perception of the one I am praying to is all messed up and turn into a groveling begger instead of seeing the Father as love which has never changed since the beginning and His nature and thoughts towards me are only good but I’ve been taught He is on the edge of striking me dead with lightning at any moment!————————————-
What Jesus did through the cross and resurrection was not simply to just save me from hell, but to makeTheosis possible which means He has given us the ability to actually live a life with God with the ability and intent to become like God.
But, How will I ever correctly become what I perceive if my perception is distorted of God?
Theosis:is a Christian theological term that refers to the idea that humans can participate in the life of God, or "be made like God"
Basically I will also become distorted because I will begin to conform to a false ideology of what I’ve been told and I swallowed that ideology so much I am convinced that a lie is true.
And this isn’t even the worst part!
The worst part is that the religious man made lies gets intertwined into your character and you now need deliverance to get free of this false mentality!
2 Corinthians (2 Co) 3:18 CJB“So all of us, with faces unveiled, see as in a mirror the glory of the Lord; and we are being changed into his very image, from one degree of glory to the next, by Adonai the Spirit.”
If I look in that mirror and see a mad, upset, angry, proud, God then that’s what I am becoming.
It says, “and we are being changed into his very image,”
What image we are viewing is so vital!
Because whatever image you see is what you will become.—————————————-
——-Examples of how the world and the church interprets God’s nature 👇————
Now most of us and I hope all of us would believe God didn’t kill anyone in the Trade Center on 9/11?
That’s kind of an extreme example of how some people see God.
But if we believe God allowed me to get sick because He knew it would bring me closer to Him? Is that any different?
To think we serve a God who at any point He feels like it, can inflict sickness, disease, demotion and so on to get His point across and teach us a valuable lesson?
Or
I know I have to pray and read more but when you do you continue to fall asleep now you feel condemned because you fell asleep while talking to God and He is very disappointed in you!
Rubbish!!!
You think if my grandkids came and laid down on my lap and fell asleep while we were talking I’d be upset? Heck no! I would love it!
———————————
On earth if a human had that power we would call that inhumane, cruel and evil.
Yet we are ok with equating a perfect, holy God to things like this because we have an innate desire to understand why things happen so we are ok with throwing God under the bus because we have no answers for what has happened.
It almost as if we hate actually knowing that my bad behavior doesn’t change His behavior towards you at all, never!
Why is it we feel like we deserve to be punished? Of course we deserve to be punished but because of God’s goodness His love covers a multitude of sin!———————-
Here is a few more:See if any of these are relatable?
I’m suffering financially this week because I knew I was supposed to give my last $10 at church and I didn’t so God is punishing me now.
I called off work sick when I really wasn’t and God knew I lied now He is making me sick because I lied.
I didn’t pull over to help that person on the side of the road and God is punishing me now with my car breaking down on the way to work.
Man Christians practice more “Yin Yang and Karma” than the world.
If you do good, good will follow you, if you do bad then bad follows you, it’s the balance of the universe. ——————————
I John 1:5 NKJV“This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.”
In Him is NO darkness!
If we have mental images of His nature having any darkness then we become something distorted and mixed.
Luke 11:34-35 NKJV“The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness. Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness.”
We see what Jesus is saying here?👇
Take heed to not misinterpret or distort your image of the one who is pure light and contains no darkness because the light in you will might be darkness!——————————-
My coma revelation of love:
I shared Wednesday on how God visited me and gave me the deepest revelation I ever received from Him while in my coma.
I had a revelation of love and forgiveness that changed me and has change me forever.
No one could do me wrong, no behavior could sway my love towards you, I could careless about the past or even the present all I knew was to love everyone just like God loved everyone and I did.
I couldn’t be offended, I only seen the best in people!!!
When I was walking in this deep revelation of love I literally was in a bliss that overwhelmed me and I became so sensitive to the presence of God because when I loved beyond bad behavior towards me or anyone else God was present.
And I would be overcome by His presence and I cried and cried, not because I was emotionally unstable as some might of thought but that level of glory was unlike anything I’ve ever felt in my 35 years of Christianity.
I really mean my perception and discernment became heightened and I seen situations and problems through God’s lens and it transformed how I counciled people and even interacted with people.
I actually would see people through God’s eyes and that prohibited me from forming a godless opinion of them and it allowed me to love them unconditionally.
However over time as I became stronger and less vulnerable I seen how easy it was to allow cynicism back into your mindset.Opinions of people that I create before getting God’s view of them and I found how we as humans tend to sway towards the bad behavior of people before we sway towards their good attributes.

Listen if 2 Corinthians 3:18 is supposed to be practiced by us then our outlook on God must change!
Because what we behold is what we become!
2 Corinthians (2 Co) 3:18 CJB“So all of us, with faces unveiled, see as in a mirror the glory of the Lord; and we are being changed into his very image, from one degree of glory to the next, by Adonai the Spirit.”—————————————
Here are some things we all must agree on in order to become what we behold.👇
We must come to the understanding that God is not suggesting we be holy He is demanding us to be holy as He is holy.
And our understanding of holiness is very important!
Holiness is not behavior modification!Holiness is keeping your eye fixed on Jesus and abiding in the Vine!
At all times!!!
In Christ,
Pastor Jerry Siler Jr.
