To
live we must die; to be great we must be made low; to be strong we must
be made weak; to enter in we must be straitened; to receive all things
we must give up all things. This is the Cross. It is foolishness to man,
but it is the power of God.
I
heard a disciple of the Lord
say today, “The Christian who lives for this very hour, to die to
himself, is not open to false comfort and cannot be swayed no matter
what you do. He cannot be moved.”
If
I am going to be persecuted, I don’t want to suffer for defending my
religious opinions and doctrines on prophetic ministry, renewal, true
and false movements, and what’s wrong with the Church. What’s wrong with
the Church is that Christ is not preached, the Cross is not taken
up, and the Self has not died. So if I am to suffer, let me suffer for
preaching the foolishness of the Cross, not my idiotic opinions and
teachings – what are they worth? Paul said I knew NOTHING among you, but
Christ and Him crucified. This cuts all the dead weight away from our
spirit. To only know Christ! To be free to say, “I don’t know, and I
don’t care to know. All I know is Christ...”
