The Marketplace.
Brothers & Sisters,
I LOVE THIS SCRIPTURE - Matt 23:13 "But woe to you scribes and Prushim, hypocrites! Because you shut up the reign of the shamayim before men, for you do not go in, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in".
When we meditate on this verse it is easy to see in our mind's eye, a market scene with lots of stalls selling their wares, each stall with its own copy of the doorway. They are all camped around "The Doorway," to the reign of shamayim they are lying and saying that theirs is the true doorway.
Believers are passing through this market place looking for hope! That is, not everyone knows IT IS FREE to enter shamayim and many are being deceived by these marketers.
Can you guess who the marketers are ? Yes; you are right with your answer - it is "RELIGION".
For just about every Scriptural word there is some sort of religion selling something and THEY WANT YOUR MONEY!!!
These marketers have no intention of entering Shamayim and they shut down every opportunity of anyone trying to enter. Your generation has an opportunity to bypass these marketers and enter the doorway.
THERE MUST BE SOMETHING SO VALUABLE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOORWAY if these marketers are trying to block the way in! All it takes is to make up your mind that this rubbish the marketers are selling, is not the truth and we know that truth cannot be bought.
The religious expo's of deceit are the marketers and it's sad to think all this madness is blocking the way of truth !!
