Excluded From Most Kingdom Ministries

A few weeks ago I listened to a podcast entitled Religious Deception.  The link came to me via an email from Kingdom Ministries. There was also a link to sermon by a pastor from The Cathedral of the Holy Spirit...R.E. Paulk.  I am going to post a few snippets from that sermon tomorrow....
But for today, following are a few quotes from Gary's sermon....
If you believe in a higher power, or if you don't believe in a higher power, you know there's got to be something greater than you....just call out to whatever that is.  And I guarantee you he will meet you right where you are.  If you're in alcoholic's anonymous...if you're in Buddhism, if you're in Hinduism, no matter your culture, no matter your background. And this is what got me excluded from most kingdom ministries....because I say God does not care about your doctrine.  He doesn't care about your intellectual knowledge, he wants your heart.  So no matter what culture, no matter what religion, no matter where you are, if you'll just cry out to Him
Yeah' I can see how that might stir up some kingdom ministries.  So many of them depend on correct doctrine and intellectual knowledge...all the t's crossed and the i's dotted.  The correct view of free will/sovereignty....the right theory of the atonement....preterist, full preterist, partial preterist. Everything has to fit...be scripturally correct...fall into it's place.  One card taken from the house of cards and it all comes tumbling down. Gary goes on to say....
Once you cry out to God, he will be your leader.  He will draw you out of any religion you're in.
There is only one teacher and that's the comforter.
A verse from Ezekiel comes to mind.....I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep.
You have an anointing and that anointing abides in you.  The anointing that you have received abides in you and you have no need of no man to teach you....for that same anointing will teach you and it's the truth.  You have an inner guidance system that will not lead you astray.  Oh your mind will!!  You mind will lead you down many paths but when you learn to sit in the quiet and you learn to hear that inner guidance system, its infallible.  That's what all of us have.  But we don't listen to that.  Many times we will listen but then we'll go to the preacher and he'll say, "Ah Brother, you can't listen to that." I've had many preachers tell me I was in deception and hearing demons and angels of light.  But you have to learn that the anointing is in you and you can trust it.  You can trust that anointing above what your preacher says, above what Gary says.... God is wonderful...

Indeed he is....

Thank you rhonda. I met Gary Sigler a couple of times a few years ago. So much of what he says resonates. And his website is a huge contribution to kingdom/UR ministries. Blessings...Cindi....
