Be Wise, Touch Not God's Anointed! by GraceBestowed(f): 11:16am On Mar 03, 2013 |
What has been baffling me lately is the complete disregard people have displayed for the men and women of God. By 'men and women of God', I'm referring to the well known pastors, and pastors in general. I realise that even Christians get caught up in this blame game, and for a moment, you can't really tell them apart from non-Christians. Most of the pastors I see people bash are truly anointed, filled with the Spirit, and are doing the work of God! When you go against the grain, accusing, insulting, and castigating them, God is not finding it funny, and you will have yourself to blame, when the consequences come. Whether or not you think someone is truly of God, keep your mouth shut, please, don't speak evil of something you're unsure of, or don't know [he said, she said, is NOT a true account]. David knew that Saul was the anointed of God, and refused to kill him, even when Saul made his life a living hell. When God anoints someone, the anointing still stays on their life, even if they mess up, they just cannot operate in it without the presence of the Holy Spirit! This is not done to arouse any sort of ill feelings, but the truth must be said. God has said, 'touch not mine anointed', and as believers we need to adhere to what God has said! Remember to give Him thanks, in everything! All His love!! |

GraceBestowed: What has been baffling me lately is the complete disregard people have displayed for the men and women of God. By 'men and women of God', I'm referring to the well known pastors, and pastors in general. Blessings to you dear sister. let us go that 'touch not anointed verse again. Psalms 105:12-15 reads thus '12.When they were but a few men in number;yea,very few, and strangers in it.13.When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;14.He suffered no man to do them wrong:yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;15.Saying, touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. If you study the above very well,you'll notice he was referring to the whole isreal as anointed so don't localize it to a pastor or MOG no matter how visible. Courtesy demands we avoid abusing people irrespective of status and for this reason,i STRONGLY detest insults on people.attack issues instead because attacking personalities is an attribute of a small mind.However,we christians must be known to stand against false doctrine anywhere we see it.If MOG feel that he's preaching right and someone is hindering the truth,then he should do like Paul in Acts 13:8-12 and pronounce judgment and see if God will answer him. Rev Jim Jones in 1978 led almost 1000 souls on mass suicide hiding under this same touch not my anointed defence.If only more people had spoken out,maybe it wouldn't have happened.National Geographic channel ran a documentary on it last year.Do you know how many americans concluded there was no God because of it? Not speaking up is a greater evil my dear sister. I only wish my brethren on here will avoid going personal on these topics. 1 Like |

@Candour, excellent response, thank you! These days, pastors are spoken ill of, not because of what they preach, but because they live good, that was my angle. In response to what you said, a true person of God will not peddle false doctrines (and there are many around). It is wrong to insult anybody, I don't do that, neither do I tolerate it, whoever the person is. I still stand by what I have said initially; remember, it's not every one that calls "Lord", or preaches in His name that will enter Heaven. :-) |

@musKeeto Amongst the wheat, there will be chaff! I know that there are false prophets out there, people sent by satan himself! It is important to not mistake wheat for chaff. I have read that blog in question; 'by their fruit you shall know them', but I've seen people talk ill of real men of God, pastors who have preached the truth. |

GraceBestowed: @Candour, excellent response, thank you! Exactly the point @the bolded dear sister.we should stop generalizing every MOG as fraudulent and also stop generalizing every MOG as called of God simply because they are leading a big organization. Imagine adults in complete possession of some gray matter in their head kneeling down to a cane welding overseer and been flogged because they came to church late.This is the norm in a so-called 'church' here in this country. SMH God bless you jare daughter of God |

well, some people have to be the demonstration of what happens when you make yourself an adversary to men and women of God. otherwise, how will you learn God watches over his word to perform it. |

All men are created equal. If one man tells me that because he is ''annonted'', i can't criticize him when he does wrong, then the first thing i will do is denounce him as a man of God and then remind him that i was annointed as well - every christian is an annointed child of God, no be so?? A real man of God doesn't hide behind his ''annointing'' and threaten his followers with ''curses'' and ''punishments'' when he is criticized; he acknowledges his wrong-doing, apologizes to his followers for the bad example he set them, and tries to be a better man. That is true humility, and thats how a real annointed man acts. Thats what David did when he was caught with another man's wife, and thats what Peter did when he was scolded by Paul. I only have disgust for people like Op who would prefer to cower in fear and turn blind eyes on the excesses of their religious leaders. You're so soaked up in adulation of your pastors that you'll rather become deaf and dumb, rather than admit that they did something wrong. Shame on your brand of christianity. Let me remind you that the quoted scripture says ''Touch not..''; it doesn't say ''Criticize not..'' Yes, David refused to kill Saul, but that didn't stop him from criticizing Saul, speaking against Saul, and even openly waging war against the ''annointed'' Saul. So, dear Op, u should learn to quote the full story, and not just mention the parts that suit you. By the way, are you aware Jesus criticized the jewish priests and pharisees? These priests were annointed, all the way from Aaron and his son Eleazar; the pharisees were great ''men of God'', same as you have pastors and evangelists today.Yet Jesus called them ''hypocrites'' and ''a den of vipers''. I guess Jesus is now criticizing his own annointed. 1 Like |
