Two Foundations

2 Peter 1:12 “Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.”

Hebrews 3:7-8 “Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts , as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:”

These two scriptures are the foundation for what God is always doing in the “present” tense. Paul writes in Hebrews “to day” if you hear his voice. It’s not “yesterday”. God has a present truth ministry alive on earth at all times. That does not mean that the ministry adds to the bible at all for it is the absolute and the final authority, but the letter by itself brings condemnation. It is the Spirit that gives life to the letter and makes it a reality to individuals.

If you do a study of the bible from Genesis to Revelation who is the minority?

Who is scorned?

Who is rejected?

Who is considered a heretic?

Is it not the true ministry and the true believers of the word of God? It’s not the orthodox majority. The orthodox majority are told by the true ministry that “in vain do they worship” God “teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” (Matthew 15:9)

To break this down further. As God reveals himself and time goes on people settle down and get comfortable in that. They lose the drive, passion and desire to follow him no matter what the cost. So they begin to protect their beliefs with statements of faith and even unwritten rules of how to approach God.

Then what happens? God sends a ministry to a people and they reject it because it does not fit in with their program and treasured beliefs. The pharisees rejected Jesus, Paul and the other apostles. The priests and rulers of the people rejected Jeremiah. You can go on down the line with each prophet. Look at the age of the church. Martin Luther came with a true message and the so-called “orthodox” majority church rejected him.

So here are the two foundations;

1. God is always speaking present tense.

2. the orthodox majority always rejects what God sends

For those who do believe you should rejoice when you see that the majority rejects the message because its predicted in the scriptures to be that way.
