Kingdom Principle: Life Is Not "Whenever [We] Choose"

"The Lord said to Moses: 'Tell your brother Aaron that he is not to come whenever he chooses into the Most Holy Place behind the curtain in front of the atonement cover on the ark, or else he will die.  For I will appear in the cloud over the atonement cover.'" (Leviticus 16:2, NIV)

"....He is not to come whenever he chooses.., or else...."  This is a way of saying, "We are doing this My way, not yours."  This is a principle which is from, literally, "in the beginning," e.g., the two trees in the Garden.  Much of evangelicalism and the "charismatic renewal" has never learned this.

If the modern Church does not walk in this fundamental truth of the Kingdom and Church, defeat is inevitable.  O, make no mistake; the Church of Jesus will prevail.  Many "members" and organizations, however, won't.

I hear a continual call, "Choose you this day whom you will serve."  Our only choice is whom we will serve.  After that, it is when/what ever Jesus chooses.  What is your, "As for me"...?

Father, in Jesus' Name, I choose to live in when/what ever You choose.  Amen

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"

Hebrews 12:2
