BREATH

Inhaling is more than just taking in air. On a spiritual level it is to me inhaling the profound and insightful.

Some people seem content to hold their breath in that regard. They just want you to pass them an oxygen mask of their rituals and breath deep.

It doesn't matter if the air is stale and full of spiritual toxins. As long as they don't have to breath by their own effort that is what counts.

The only problem is that such oxygen's masks sometimes are faulty. By that I mean they just don't work permanently.

I have a friend who has struggled trying to find a house of worship that didn't use oxygen masks, other than the one that comes from the lord. He sit and listens to the sermon and sooner or later they person wants him to wear their mask that they have recycled on constant occasions.

Their attitude is that it worked for everyone else, so it should be okay for him too. Only in his case since I do feel he is truly born again and therefore under the influence of the Holy Spirit, he doesn't find those masks tolerable anymore than I do.

How can we truly inhale God's truth if we are too busy breath the toxic wastes of false doctrines? It just doesn't work in reality.

But so many find it the option they prefer. Simple because they see everyone else using them so it must be the truth.

It is a pity that so many prefer what is harmful to their souls to the truth. And if you were to ask they would surely insist that isn't the case.

Yet, it still happens all the time. People are just so comfortable allowing the traditions of man to fill their soul's lungs with practices that have some scent of religiosity they think is perfume.

I'm not suggesting all traditions are bad. I'm merely suggesting that God's way are often different from what we decide it truth.

But to inhale freely means you might just have to go somewhere that isn't tainted or polluted by false teaching. The majority are not always right just because they have so many numbers. It is not proof of God's blessing.

I hope and pray to be always willing to breath as the hand of God would lead. That does't always mean I can do it in a closet where countless others think the darkness is cool and refreshing. Sometimes they get so use to the stench of deception they never even notice it is polluted.
