Self Christianity
The Self Cult is particularly deceptive. It is cloaked in such deliciously good-sounding phrases. When Christians adopt its principles, they follow a path toward frustrations.
The Self Cult even works its way into Churches, robbing them of spiritual power that is their inheritance in Christ.
Instead of focusing on Christ and His will, Christians can lose touch with Jesus. They no longer hear His voice. Then, they stop reading His Word, the Bible. They say words out of their own mind rather than seeking the mind of God and saying His words. They become involved with their own self-worth, self-image, self-confidence, self-actualization, and self-indulgence. They become self-seeking and spend their time trying to discover themselves or re-invent themselves.
The problem is that they are not filled with the Spirit of God. They are not allowing God's Spirit to tranform them and transfigure them by letting the Holy Spirit renew their minds.
Let us all press on into the glory that God desires to reveal in us. We press into this by yielding to the Holy Spirit. We press in by admitting that our natural minds are deceitful and wicked and that we need the Holy Spirit to make our minds alive. We must realize that our minds were never created to work without the anointing of God.
How can we know anything about anything? That’s the real question
