Relevant passage for the last post: Matthew 7
21"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
22"Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?'
23"And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'
Scary stuff. According to this passage, we can prophesy, cast out demons, and perform miracles, and yet not truly serve God. We can receive authority, and misuse it: we can fail to fulfill our prieslty annointing.
It is indispensable, therefore, that we commit wholeheartedly to Christ, rather than dither, to be spiritually infantile or even dead, or to be lukewarm, for these are abominable in His sight. We know that He spits such people out of his mouth.
From Ecclesiastes: When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow.
