DIVISON

God woke me up this morning with this scripture on my heart.  I been  working in the ministry for a very long time, and also took  years of studying the word. Not only that but have seen many  awesome miracles from God from healing to divine intervention. I trust God at his word completely.

1 Corinthians 1

 1Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
 2To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ—their Lord and ours:
 3Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thanksgiving
 4I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. 5For in him you have been enriched in every way—in all your speaking and in all your knowledge— 6because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you. 7Therefore you do not lack any spiritual
gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. 8He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.
Divisions in the Church
 10I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11My brothers, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas[a]"; still another, "I follow Christ."  13Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into[b] the name of Paul? 14I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15so no one can say that you were baptized into my name. 16(Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don't remember if I baptized anyone else.) 17For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
 It so sad to see but there is so much division in the body of Christ and I truly believe because we tend to become more religious then truly have a relationship with Christ. We are  quick to judge. Quick to put rules on  Christians and nonbelivers( must baptised to be saved on example of a yoke of bondage, speaking in tongues is another issue among Christians, The trinity etc!)\
  As God spoke to my spirit last night, he showed me it was no different then the Pharisees in the bible, who the condemn believers for working on the sabbath( as Jesus healed) eating with unwashed ,fasting. We become so caught up in religion that we forget the whole message of the cross was about Love, that God so love the world that he gave his only begotten so, that whoso ever BELIEVES in him shall not perish but have everlasting life         God inturn  took all are sins at the cross!(1 Peter 2:24
who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed
.)

 As Christians we may not always agree on every topic , but when it comes to salvation we MUST BE IN ONE ACCORD! The blood of Many souls will be on the hands of us that preach the gospel in error. Remember God is a God that looks at the heart .  This is a warning to ALL Christians, division can not be in the place when it comes to salvation, we can not preach whats  other from the bible in error, as the bible tells us study to show thy self approved! Remember God is a God who looks at the HEART OF MAN, so who are we to tell someone they are not saved ? Can you really make that Judgement call? will you be as the Jews telling the gentiles they must be circumcised to be saved, is not the circumcised of the heart? Let us Just preach the Gospel  and let God look at the heart!
1 Samuel 16:7
But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”

Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please
Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
