“你做的还不够”，这就是撒旦常用来攻击神真正儿女的控告之一。他想让你把自己和那些讲道时声情并茂的传道人或台上引人入胜的牧师比较，或与那些领导着座无虚席的教会或名扬海外的事工的人相比。然后就会说：“看，他们为了上帝做了多伟大的事！他们有医治之能，他们去街头传道，他们引领多人归主，追随他们的人头攒动。但是，看看你，你却天天坐在家里一事无成！.......”

人们总喜欢追随那些长袖善舞、能说会道的牧师和领袖，他们在人们面前表现出他们是虔诚的，但是主耶稣总是看着我们的心，他查看我们的内里，看我们是否纯净和圣洁。在耶稣时代，法利赛人在人面前似乎是义人，但耶稣说他们像粉饰的坟墓，外面好看，里面却是死人的骨头。他们像是坟墓，在属灵的层面看，他们是完全是死的，他们拒绝神的真理。他们像今天许多基督徒一样热爱经文，热爱圣经，热爱律法，热爱十诫，他们认为自己热爱着亚伯拉罕、以撒和雅各的上帝。但当耶稣真正出现在现场时，他们拒绝了他，他们恨他，因为耶稣主张的是真理，他们只主张自己的谎言，自己假冒伪善的教会体系。

今天有很多牧师，他们似乎有很多事情要做，有很多追随者，他们忠于圣经。许多人也认为这些牧师们很有智慧，所以跟随他们。可是他们的里面不是充满了圣灵，而是充满了死亡。我鼓励你，不要追逐那些金玉其外的人们，那都是他们为自己打造的人设。

毕竟，在日子终结的时候，你跟随的人是否与耶稣同行并不重要，重要的是你自己有没有聆听圣灵的声音并顺从他。耶稣说他的羊听他的声音，并且跟从他，他们不跟从陌生人。

问题是，你在听主的声音吗？你是他的羊吗？你在顺服他吗？还是，你在跟随陌生人？跟随耶稣不仅仅是听道，听音乐，基督教的音乐，听福音派在电视上或Youtube上布道。跟随耶稣意味着你从世界分别出来，断开与不敬虔的人的连接，不再被属世的人影响。跟随主是与世界隔绝，是与主赐给你的圣灵连接，就是永生神的圣灵！

我们都知道使徒行传2:38；“你们各人要悔改，奉耶稣基督的名受洗，叫你们的罪得赦，就必领受所赐的圣灵。”我们所有人都被呼召来接受圣灵、受洗、重生。我们知道圣灵的恩赐是为我们和所有将要接受他的人准备的。问题是，你已经接受圣灵了吗？你已经在水中受洗了吗？你已经收到了圣灵的恩赐用来建造主耶稣的教会了吗？还是，你为着自己的意愿活着？你还在犯罪吗？你真正重生了吗？

我鼓励你们自己从耶稣那里寻求启示，让他深入你们的生命，触动你们的心，改变你们，使你们成为新人；洁净你脱离一切不义，赐给你的白色的礼服，预备参加他的婚宴。求他洁净你，预备你成为合适神国的样式。全心全意地为耶稣而活，不要再被满口谎言的先知、说谎的传道人和教师所欺骗，他们完全属于世界。分别出来，耶稣就会接纳你。但是，如果你像这个世界上那些追随他人的人一样随波逐流，你将会发现，自己正跟着他们前往地狱。愿耶稣的恩典与你同在！

 

Don’t Compare Yourself to Other Christians who Have it Made

One accusation that satan always brings against the true children of God is that they are not doing enough, he wants you to compare yourself to a theatrical preacher or a sensational pastor, or someone who has a huge church or a big ministry, and then say; “Look, they are doing great things for God, they are doing faith healings, preaching on the street, bringing a lot of people to the Lord, they have a huge following, but look at YOU, all you are doing is sitting at home doing nothing…”

But people flock to pastors and leaders who are sensational, who appear before MEN that they are godly, but the Lord Jesus is always looking at our heart, He is looking at the INSIDE of us to see if we are pure and holy.  In Jesus’s time it was the Pharisees that appeared that they were righteous before men, but Jesus said that they were like sepulcher, dead men’s bones on the inside, but white-washed on the outside.  They were like graves and spiritually they were completely dead, the Pharisees wanted nothing to do with the truth of God.  They loved their scriptures like many Christians do today, they loved their bibles, they loved the Law, they loved the 10 commandments, they thought that they loved the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, but when Jesus came on the scene they rejected Him, they HATED Him because Jesus stood for the TRURH and they only stood for their own lies, their own hypocritical church system.  

Today there are a lot of pastors who appear that they have a lot going on for them, big followings, they’re biblical, a lot of people think that they are very intellectual so they follow them.  But on the inside they are not full of the Holy Spirit but they are full of death.  I encourage you not to chase after people who appear to be good on the outside, who appear that they have it all made.  

After all, at the end of the day it’s not going to matter if the person you are following was with Jesus or not, what’s going to matter is if YOU are hearing from the Holy Spirit for YOURSELF and obeying Him.  Jesus said that His sheep hear HIS voice and they obey Him, they will not follow a stranger.  

The question is, do YOU hear the Lord’s voice, are you one of His sheep, are you obeying Him?  Or are you following after strangers?  Following Jesus is not about just listening to sermons, listening to music, Christian music on the radio, listening to evangelicals preach on the TV or on Youtube.  It’s about you being separate from the world, YOU disconnecting from people who are ungodly, not being influenced by people who give you all the influences of the world.  It is about disconnecting from the world and being connected to the Spirit that will give you like, that is the Holy Spirit of the Living God!  

All of us know Acts 2:38; “Repent and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”  All of us are called to receive the Holy Spirit, to be baptized and to be born again.  We know the gift or the Holy Spirit is for us and all of those who will receive Him.  But have you received the Holy Spirit?  Have you been baptized in water and have you received the gifts that come from the Holy Spirit so that you can edify Jesus’s church?  Or are you living selfishly?  Do you still have sin in your life, have you never truly been born again?

 I encourage you to seek a revelation from Jesus as Him to reach down into your life, to touch your heart, to change you, to make you new; to purify you from unrighteousness to give you your white garments ready for His wedding feast. Ask Him to purify you and make you ready to be an example for His Kingdom.  Live for Jesus with all of your heart and don’t be deceived by the lying prophets, the lying preachers and teachers, who are full of the sensations of this world.  Be separate and JESUS will receive you.  But be like those who are of this world chasing after men and you will find yourself following them to hell.  May the grace of Jesus be with you.
