At the center of the carnal crowd is a piece of furniture called a pedestal. One of the most pronounced marks of a carnal Christian, is when they put a person on one of these pedestals.

Take a close look at your object of worship, and see how much carnality is active in you. The greatest division in the history of My church, is now taking place in the west, due to misdirected worship. Books published by the millions, TV, radio, the Internet and mass advertising has made it easy to lift men up on very high pedestals.

When you base your assembling together on who is going to be on stage, you are filled with death “because to be carnally minded is death; but to go to because you are spiritually minded, then you are filled with life and peace,” Romans 8:6.

If you say, I am with pastor Bill, another says, I am with pastor Mike; and another says, I go to the 1^st Church of the best Christians; are you not carnal?” 1 Corinthians 3:4.

I hear such foolish talk, bragging on how anointed one church is over another, yet the town they are in, is going to hell. Carnality, has brought death, and emotion has replaced anointing, as the people do not know the difference. Their carnality has caused them to put great importance on the enticing words of man’s wisdom, because there is no longer anyone giving a demonstration of My power, 1 Corinthians 2:4.

For you are still carnal: as long as there is envying, and strife, and divisions, among the believers in your city. Are you not carnal, and walk as men, if you are lifting up people on pedestals?” 1 Corinthians 3:3.

You may draw people and fill your church with those on pedestals, but it’s all death. Unless you lift Me up and advertise Me you are carnal. Only if I am lifted up, will all men be drawn to Me.” John 12:32.

I will ask you again, How carnal are you? Try witnessing without mentioning your church, or your denomination or your pastor, and only Me, using my name, then demonstrate My power, with a miracle or healing, and watch what I do!
