SELAH PARALLELS BETWEEN THE HIRELING ESAU PRIESTHOOD(THE RELIGIOUS PHARISEES) AND MODERN DAY TV MEDIA AFFECTED 5 FOLD OFFICES
FIRST please read PARTS 1 and PART 2 (which lay the Bible background and foundation)
SECOND: OVERVIEW MAIN POINTS:
“The wisdom that comes from above is first of all pure, peaceable,easily entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.” JAMES 3:17 ”
We are now possibly living in the END of the END OF DAYS when it is now extremely important to “ORGANICALLY” (ministry accurately) represent and portray WHOM the BIBLE portrays as the REAL JESUS CHRIST.
And this applies to REPRESENTING THE REAL HIM in 5 fold office, pioneering, senior and rising ministry.
And due to the MEDIA, FAN CLUB MINISTRY current big GENERATION, the writer, who was repeatedly SENT about (at large) meaning cross the BODY OF CHRIST for well over 25 mainly GRASS ROOTS many years…
…..slowly started to notice, then as it became widespread, the rise among the number of gifted, talented and otherwise “appearing to be professional strength” in Bible instruction SENIOR PASTOR, APOSTLE, PROPHET, TEACHER and EVANGELIST Offices..but who were BIG GOATS (even ravening wolves) who were not well TRAINED or MENTORED or PARENTED..or some not even acutely MORAL…as they produced ROUGH FRUIT (clearly disrespectful, accusative, manipulative, even predators).
YET THOSE were mixed in with the PURE HEARTED,exceedingly HONORABLE TRUE SHEEP…but due to Madison Avenue, Good Showmanship, TV Lights, cameras, publicity, entourages and the HOLLYWOOD /POP WORSHIP CULTURE FOLLOWER “Christian”… though there were, are MANY who are WHOLLY BIBLE ORGANIC..both on and off the pulpit stage…
YET, the writer has often noticed a proliferation of genuinely inauthentic, as in MINUS the Godly PROVERBS 1:7 “FEAR OF THE LORD” discerning, perceptive, as well as HONORABLE, winsome, FIVE FOLD OFFICES.
The ability sit back and watch the FAMOUS NATIONAL TV PROPHET, PASTOR, BISHOP, APOSTLE while living in deep rural, religious, legalistic, grass roots,can be BOTH TRULY GOOD but also VERY BAD.
It creates the desire to want to COPY and EMULATE both the FAMOUS CHRISTIAN LEADER and his/her “STYLE,DRESS, PROTOCOL, METHODS” be these copied in a MINI CHURCH or a MIGHTY MEGA one.
This produces immature, many times self seeking, posturing, human pleasing, “MY OWN MINISTRY”…which is now rampant in too many grass roots level audiences, local regions and in ministry, leader conferences. YET ALSO mixed along in with the TRUE BLUE BEST CALIBER of sincere, honorable, pure hearted MINISTERS.
After repeatedly discovering this (starting first back around the mid 1990’s) though the unsuspicious writer was taken aback, it was not until later, when the LORD began to reveal to her that she had been in grass roots around the area, then around the (mostly south eastern) legalistic parts of the USA, that HE opened up her eyes to see that what had slowly occurred was TV MEDIA, NATIONAL MINISTRY INFLUENCED..local senior pastors, ministries, nonprofits and Christ following, rising ministry, even lay doctrinal MIXTURE..winds of doctrine, accepted legalism,including much new “REQUIRED IN HOUSE RULES” regarding
1) worship of ministry hierarchy
2) “Are YOU under spiritual authority, spiritual covering
3) the sheer vast amounts of the rise of IN MINISTRY HOUSE/leader,lay, legalistic accusation…which even included presumptuous leader public attacks, ministry leader character assassination, yet with a marked political absence on God’s Whole Bible Counsel (Example leadership real respect to submit to James 3:17, Matthew 18:15-18, Proverbs 2:1-5, etc)
4) and among which would very often include senior ministers, lay,keeping TABS on all others to see if THEY were 1) members of a local church 2) if they were in ministry “to keep a watch on all ministers, to see WHO they were UNDER and if their doctrines did not participate in that HIERARCHAL, FORM of “GOVERNMENT” then they would label the NON HIERARCHAL as “in rebellion” “long warriors” and spread local gossip, accuser -slanderous busy body tales around the entire local “CHRISTIAN” and “MINISTRY” “APOSTOLIC” community.
IT WAS NONACCUSATIVE AND PEACEFUL IN MINISTRY UNTIL AROUND 1996 when the writer ( a Southern Baptist senior pastor’s nonhierarchal,non (primarily) achievement, but RELATIONSHIP servant leader’s first born baby girl)EVER heard local senior pastors call “their” lay persons CHURCH HOPPERS…and it was a complete shock..(implying that if a person was hungry for Jesus and chose to attend more than one local church ..it was a BIBLE DECLARED “SIN?”)
And after having been raised by a NON nosey busy body EMPATHETIC, COMPASSIONATE / “MYOB” senior pastor,to hear God’s own people being clearly put down, accused by senior pastors…was another complete shock..yet it is what honestly started the writer’s Noble Berean DOCTRINAL ONGOING RESEARCH..”to see what was truly in God’s Holy Word” and what was wholly Bible “ORGANIC” (and what was HUMAN MIXTURE, legalism)
Church attendance (accusing multi church/non attenders as “out from under spiritual authority” “in rebellion” “critical” Church Hoppers)
ABOVE: TV AFFECTED PIONEERNG MINISTRY “Passing of the Baton”
AND as the millennium hit and we continued into what is now the enormous POPULAR WORSHIP TV MEDIA STRONGLY AFFECTED PULPIT OFFICES/FACE BOOK, SELF ABSORBED, SR MINISTRY FANTASY entire era…this also brought about the BUMPER CROP of “wannabes” who perhaps got their CALLING and their LOOKS from sitting back and watching famous TV ministers…
….yet (over many) of them had never had a PERSONAL DEEP “FIRST LOVE” in the (perceived) Holy fear of the Lord, emotionally /spiritually mature relationship with the LORD…not via their famous Membership Ministry affiliation.
(AND PERHAPS many of these DID have a personal relationship with the Lord….but then later it got lost in super hurried senior ministry, TV,big budgets, press and FAN CLUB, smooth talking, Keeping Up with the Ministry Jones PEER PRESSURE to PERFORM,ACHIEVE and TO BUILD.
Submitted Nonaccuser Selah.
AND while MOST of these APPEARED to be able to QUOTE THE BIBLE, and to TALK THE MINISTRY TALK, and yes,they had flair, charisma, and were often greatly talented, gifted persons….
Eventually, it was not the TALENT or The “ANOINTING” “PERSONA” which red flagged a new or repeating ministry leader visitor, it was the NEGATIVE CAUSTIC FALLOUT instead of LOVING, BIBLE WHOLE COUNSEL “ORGANIC” (Relational) FIRST LOVE FRUIT.
SOON, starting mid 1990’s onward, there seemed to be a huge proliferation of MINISTRY FAMOUS LEADER “WANNABES” …who had who would eventually produce similar,entitled, elite, persona based,”fan club follower”, often accuser enabling Local Church /regional SPIRITUAL SIN SPYING Legalistic fruit.
AND far more Bible teaching emphasis was on ACHIEVING,BELIEVING GOD TO GET SOMETHING FROM HIM, telling the GOOD NEWS but making it bringing in more people to THEIR OWN CHURCH, using their faith to “GET GOD TO MOVE THEIR OWN MINISTRY TO THE NEXT LEVEL” and then APPEARANCE,HAIR,STYLES,TV MEDIA, and leadership PERFORMING, all with “Big I’s” and “Little You’s” IN MINISTRY..rather than office leader genuine sincerity, approachability and humble relatability. (which bears a likeness to humble Jesus Christ in Acts 10:38 “Jesus Christ went about doing good, healing all who were oppressed by the devil…”
PROFESSIONAL FIVE FOLD OFFICES /PASTORS,etc, displayed far more emphasis on attaining material possessions, advancing what they referred to as THEIR ministry, and then enabled PHARISEE religious ACCUSATION targeting local lay, fellow leaders, who were NOT “under” the same FORM of “spiritual authority” PET DOCTRINES that THEIR particular national, local ministry group was all UNDER.
IN CONCLUSION: HOW THE TV MEDIA AFFECTED WORSHIP POP CULTURE LEADERSHIP may be (meaning in part) what has given rise to what the writer now often calls either the I SAMUEL COMPASSION FATIGUED ELI TEMPLE HIGH PRIESTHOOD….or even the ESAU/EDOMITE, ministry hireling TEMPLE HIGH PRIESTHOOD..which this whole series is all about.
THE APOSTOLIC WRITER OBSERVED THAT THE FOLLOWING ARE NOW PERPLEXING MINISTRY MIXTURE (at least in grass roots) where the TRUE ORGANIC IDENTITY of JESUS CHRIST, the (nonaccuser Isaiah 11:3) MESSIAH is now mixtured in along with New Age, passing fads, TV media, left wing, right wing partisan politics, Big I’s/Little You’s, demanded performance, aristocratic,elite,Roman Patricianism, elevated pulpit offices of the Doctrines of the Nicolaitans, proud flesh, Disney apostolic fantasy, and MIND GAME PLAYING (blame shifting ministry self protecting, self serving avoidance)
Add to this the effect of MEDIA BIAS,Simpsons, cynicism, and the very poor up close witness of many so called presumptuous “CHRISTIAN MINISTERS”…we can only cry out to the LORD for HIS SOLUTION and also choose to SELF HUMBLE EACH OF OUR OWN “CHRIST FOLLOWING”(mainly regarding) CHARISMATIC, SELVES.
DISCERNING AMONG THE CAST OF CHRIST FOLLOWING LEADERS: TO ASSIST IN SEPARATING WHEAT FROM TARES,SHEEP FROM GOATS,and VALID 5 Fold Ministry versus the ESAU TEMPLE HIGH PRIESTHOOD
** CLEARLY, ANY LEADER, PERSON, PASTOR, MINISTRY SUBGROUP which role models the ACCUSER as opposed to the ISAIAH 11:3 nonaccuser Messiah (“He delighted himself in the fear of the Lord and would not judge by the sight of his eyes or make decisions based on what he heard.”)
**MIA (Missing In Ministry Action) GOD’S WHOLE HOLY BIBLE COUNSEL
The perfectly imperfect writer humbly submits few missing Bible apostolic examples: Matthew 18:15-18, to model James 3:17, whole book of Ephesians, mainly Chapter 2:14, entire Chapter 4, 5:21, Eph 3:19) and to neglect nearly entirely: Proverbs 1:7, Proverbs 2:1-5, Ephesians 4:32, etc
