Is it a Feeling or is it Biblical?
I know, I know it’s Clickbait for the title, but it’s a serious question… do we follow our feelings or do we follow the Bible? I’ve been noticing a lot of people claiming to be hyper-spiritual who are hyper-spiritual despite being shown in the Bible that what they’re doing is not biblical… I’m not talking about a denominational setting I’m talking about what they are doing is completely biblical.
But they say Pastor Matt feels good Pastor Matt I feel in tune with God when I do this or Pastor Matt I really want to do this because I feel like God is calling me to do it… let me start by saying if you are called to a local church, which you are then you should probably talk to your pastor. There’s a reason God called you to submit to that pastoral authority. But then let me go a step further and say this what you’re doing draws attention to you not to God it isn’t biblical it’s you following your feelings.
Some might say what’s wrong with feeling good well, the Bible says that your heart is deceitfully wicked so when you follow your heart you are following your wickedness so when you follow your feelings, you’re following your own academic sin nature. Now keep in mind I’m a person who believes in a continuation of the gifts of the spirit, but they cannot contradict scripture and when they do, it’s not a gift of the spirit it’s a deceit from the devil.
I’ve said it many times The devil cannot create, but he can duplicate and what I am seeing in so many Christians is that they are allowing the devil to mimic spiritual giftedness and take the eyes off of God and put them onto them. Again, I’m going to say this if you are a Christian, you are called to be part of a local church. If you are called to be part of a local church or if you feel like God has called you to a specific place for a particular time talk to the Pastor because God has also called you to pastoral authority.
I hear people use denominational names to justify their unbiblical behavior and I think a lot of people don’t really know what denominations believe they just cherry-pick certain things that fit their mood or their desired behavior. Stop using the Holy Spirit to make you feel good because of what you’re doing because the truth is what you are doing is quenching or even falsely imitating the Holy Spirit... The Holy Spirit comes upon us to glorify God to bring attention to you and sadly most people today want attention or want to be seen instead of wanting to see god put at the front of their worship.
Think about what we are doing, think about what god would want us to do. Remember to stay inline with what the bible says and remember glorify God not yourself
