Worthy of Being Added to the Bible
by Daniel Rosenblit

Many years ago I heard this phrase preached over the pulpit from a Church in Connecticut:

“When in doubt always side with God”

Taking that spiritual advice to heart and applying it in my life has caused me to grow in the Lord in leaps and bounds!

All of us humans are pretty much the same; in that we are drawn to pleasure and resist things that cause us pain (our cross). So by knowing myself, I know most everyone. I’ve discovered that when God gives me easy directives or those that I desire to follow anyways, I hear God’s voice immediately; loud and clear. On the other hand when the Lord gives me difficult directives, or those directives involving me paying a heavy or painful price, I tend to doubt these unpleasant directives. Don’t all of you do the exact same thing???

Please let me illustrate the reason that following this spiritual directive is so powerful:

Example: One walks by a porno shop. ‘A feeling from within’ tells you to walk in and share your faith with the fellow who works in there, and try to save his soul and get him to find a different job. Since doing this type of witness may illicit an angry reaction, my guess is most of us will doubt that the urging came from God. Our doubt becomes our excuse not to do it. Then unless the Lord resurfaces it repeatedly, we will never to do! (Often God will only say it once).

Nearly everyone in the Church is using this same sly technique to deny the cross that the Lord is giving to each of us (hiding behind our doubts)! Indeed, this fig leaf is gigantic! All of us have been picking and choosing when we obey the voice of the Lord and when we chose not to. Sadly, from God’s point of view the vast majority of the Church must surely be a great disappointment!

Following the wisdom: When in doubt always side with God

means that if you feel the inner prompting you first ask yourself the question, “Might God ask me to do such a thing?” If the answer to that question is yes, then you assume it was God; and obey! By following this directive I was no longer able to hide behind my doubts from obeying unpleasant directives of God. By following this directive I was confronted with my cross, and repeatedly. Whereas by adhering to the old familiar way, I was able to hide from God when obeying His voice was painful.

Now I am going to appeal to your common sense:

When one follows this directive they are giving God control of their life, and by not following this directive they are in control of their life; can’t you see that???

{Following this directive is an important aspect of ‘LOSING YOUR LIFE FOR HIS SAKE’. . . Those who save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for His sake will preserve it}

Whenever one follows this directive they are honoring God; when they don’t they are honoring themselves. I will further illustrate the spiritual power of following this directive through a true story:

God has so many servants out working in His vineyards.

Out of so many field hands one of the herd is doing something that is getting His attention. If there is a slightest chance that a directive is coming from Heaven, this fellow is not taking any chances and thus fulfilling whatever might be being asked of him.

As a consequence of this behavior God says to one of His angels, “That fellow over there honors me more than the others, fetch him and bring him into my own house so I can get a better look at him!”

. . . Friends, that is actually what has happened to me!!

As you can see, this directive is so holy it ought to be in the Bible! Can’t you see that?

God wants me sharing this and other crucial matters with the Church. Matters that are so important that He wants them discussed on the 700 club or the like. . . before the entire body.

P.S. - In 1978 I became fatally ill, died, and experienced a Judgment Day Experience. I was with the Lord and tutored by Him for an afternoon! Then the Lord allowed me to live again (I wrote an essay on detailing this experience which is available upon request. Every part of this experience is backed-up by the authority of scripture verses to prove to all that the experience was authentic). Therefore, I say with great humility that I been taught spirituality by the hand of the Lord, just as the Apostles. Thus, my wisdom is greater than the herd of Pastors and Theologians!
