IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PROPERLY EVALUATE “THOSE WHO ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSES”
My name is Dennis Lee, and “I AM THE CALLED”. They asked Jesus who He was and he replied, I AM! Jesus had the conviction to call himself I AM! He had to be who He said He was! I, Dennis Lee, am the called according to His purposes! God is my witness! “The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous run into it and are safe” (Proverbs 18.) If you asked the Sanhedrin who Jesus was in His days on earth, what do you think they would have told you? Would they have given Him a good reference? If the Roman government were asked about Paul or John or Peter what would they have reported? Then why ask people, who are paid by energy interests to discredit me, who I am?
We are called to be persecuted, for His name’s sake. A life testifies to its work! The Word of God tells us that we will know those called according to His purposes by their fruit. That does not mean the size of their congregation, length of their limo, or size of their bank account or home. The “fruits” that God speaks of are the “fruits of the Spirit”. God’s fruit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness (meekness, humility) and self-control. Yes, you will truly know them by their fruits! What are the “fruits” of my walk with God? Do you know? Then how could you judge me? But, you may say you are not judging me, you are just seeing a part of my public reputation and not wanting to support my effort. But, you have a problem... this is not MY effort; this is God’s work! If I truly am a man of God called by God, is this not your work also? That is why it is imperative for you to properly evaluate the truth in this. “The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge” (Proverbs 18.)
You may be someone designated to check this out. THEN CHECK IT OUT BY HEARING BOTH SIDES OF THE STORY! “He who answers a matter before he hears it, it is folly and shame to him” (Proverbs 18.) You may be someone who is so busy that you do not have time to check this out. How should you treat God’s called? Proverbs 18 tells us “it is not good to show partiality to the wicked or to overthrow the righteous in judgment”. Delegate that responsibility to someone you trust who can make time. If someone has come forward, with good intentions, with a bad report to keep you from making a mistake, then have they heard my side of that story? “The first one to plead his cause seems right, until his neighbor comes and examines him” (Proverbs 18.) If they have not heard both sides, then they are causing you to make a mistake. They MUST accept the responsibility, in their good deed, to be sure of their judgment. The only proper thing to do is to either send them back to get the other side of the story, or disregard their advice.
What of those who work to slander God’s called, whom are they working for? Can a Christian work with someone with a bad reputation. Jesus certainly had a bad reputation among some people as did Paul, John, Peter... The proper question is whether it is deserved or not. “A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men” (Proverbs 18.) Our accuser wants to give us all a bad reputation before God, and sometimes a good reputation before men can cost us a bad one before God. Is the world supposed to love us? Why, when men revile us, do we so quickly forget that is what the Lord promises those who are the called? “Both death and life are in the power of the tongue” (Proverbs 18.) Both sides of a story are crucial to a man who seeks truth. What other way to treat those who are His called than to take the time to properly discern the truth pertaining to them and what God may be offering to His people through their work? The story of this entire walk with God is found at www.soundwaves2000.com/jgs. This is the entire story of what I and others have endured for the kingdom of God. It rebuts literally every statement made by every character assassin on the Internet. If this truly is of God, then it is crucial for you to recognize your Brother in Christ and reap this benefit for the Kingdom of God! THIS IS IMPORTANT TO THE BODY!
