Come Follow Me

What does it mean to follow Jesus? 

To imitate? 
To do as he does? 
Or to follow Him like he wants to exercise control over us?  Grovelling and begging like servants following a king, begging for every scrap of food we get? 

The Lord encourages us to follow, as in do what He does, not follow, as in be His slaves.  The slavery version of ‘follow’ is Satan’s version.  That is the plan that Lucifer offered.  And 1/3 of the hosts of heaven fell for the hierarchy model.  It is a very persuasive model even here on earth, look how many people love that plan, and uphold the satanic ways of enforcing their hierarchy.  “Do as I say, or you will be exiled to hell for all eternity!”  What kind of a loving God would do that?  None!  Only Lucifer does that.  And only churches that follow Lucifer’s plan use that type of extortion. 

For the sake of the innocent, I’m going to open up a small mystery in the hopes that it will help people recognize a deception used by satan and evil people looking to control others.  Satan often uses the name of Christ to accomplish his evil designs.  He uses the name of Christ to operate his priestcraft, and tries to connect evil meanings to Christ’s teachings in order to deceive people into believing that it is God’s way.  He and his minions go to great lengths to use the scriptures to justify their methods, and they make it so convincing that, if it were possible, the very elect might be deceived. 

One of the main strategies is to deceive people into believing that Christ taught and/or set up a hierarchy of power and control.  Nothing could be further from the truth!  This is the very idea that Jesus taught against.  It is against the plan that was decided before the world was.  And it is one of the main reasons that the Church leaders had him killed.  The Church Authorities absolutely hated that Jesus taught people that regular people could circumvent the Church hierarchy and just go directly to God for salvation.  And this happens today as well, One Man-ists say things like, ‘if regular people did this, then surely chaos would run rampant.’  How little they know of our Heavenly Father and His ways. 

What kind of parent gives one child the authority to keep another from coming into the house for the night?  Or to kick a child out of the family?  I don’t give one of my children that kind of authority over another.  I am the only one who could ever make that drastic of a decision.  And it is the same with God.  He is the only one who could make that drastic of a decision. 

None of my children are worth more to me than the others; they are all worth everything to me.  And it is my job to raise each one to the best that they can be, with the goal that they will become a better parent than I am.  And this is exactly how our Heavenly Father feels about us.  He wants us to progress as He progresses.  He wants all of us to become absolutely great parents, just like Him.  It is satanic to think that He wants to rule over us forever. 

He wants for us to follow Him, to follow His ways, so that we can enjoy all that He enjoys.  And how can we enjoy all that He enjoys, if we don’t follow the same method that He follows?  If we follow His example, then we too will achieve as He achieves. 

No one gets to the Father except through Christ.  Again, “through” does not refer to control, but through His ways, or His methods, or rather the methods that He follows. 

Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that just because we do all the outward ordinances that we automatically achieve what Christ achieved.  There will be many who say, ‘Lord, Lord, haven’t we done many mighty works in thy name?'  And the devastating reply will come to those who think they can buy their way in by works, ‘I never knew you’.  It is not our deeds alone, but our hearts by which He will know us.  This shows that Jesus doesn’t want, or mean for us to follow Him as if He were to exercise control over us, but He wants us to follow as in be like Him. 

‘Lord, Lord, haven’t we done many mighty works in thy name?’  They thought they would just have to do the things that Jesus asked, not to actually change their hearts.  They thought He was a God of extortion as satan is.  They not only expected to get a reward for all their diligent service, but to be rewarded more than others who didn’t work quite so much.  But Jesus explained that in the parable of the labourers in the vineyard. 

Those who say that you must go through them to get to Christ have misunderstood the teachings of Jesus, thinking that Jesus wanted to exercise control over people, when really He wanted them to become like Him, to have the same joys and freedoms that He has, not to control us. 

And those who teach people that control and submission is what God is all about, are perpetuating the anti-Christ doctrine, turning Christ into Satan, and Satan into Christ, saying that good is evil, and evil is good.  They do not know Him. 

Do not be fooled, go directly to the Father, following the method that Jesus set forth, and He will accept you.
