In this present hour, it is sad to see many denominations of every thought from man, sitting out there in great divisions. Hardly anyone wanting to yoke up together to seek for the deeper things of God, desiring to go unto Perfection in the knowledge of the Son of God. Instead many want to trouble the believer with traditions of men and with their holiness standards of the their great holiness dress codes of man's own personal convictions which should have been kept to themselves like the Word says: Romans 14:22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
Faith in the greek word means convictions. That individual should keep his or her own convictions to themselves. People would rather sit there and judge others by the way they dress rather than wanting to go deeper in the Word. This kind of thing does not allow the church to grow unto the knowledge that God has for them so that they can come closer and closer to perfection in His knowledge so that they are not tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine. Instead, this kind of thing causes the believer to dislike going to church because they feel like they are never going to be good enough to fit in or that they are too filthy for the so called holier than thou bunch. Others claim to have made perfection already, thinking that asking Jesus to come into their heart is sufficient enough to get in, or that acts 2:28 is their salvation.
It seems like once one is converted in the Lord, they tend to stop searching the deep things of God and claim they have it all and are already perfect. They claim they have the truth and need of nothing more. Others claim that they will not see sorrow and all there is left for them is to be raptured out of here. Salvation is not an act but a process. I am not trying to offend anyone by these words, I am trying to provoke every individual out there and convince them that there is more for that individual than asking Jesus to come into their heart or Acts 2:38. God's people are not being fed His Word.
Who is responsible for this? According to the Bible, it is the Pastors that are responsible for this. I am not putting the blame on every pastor out there. There are some out there truly trying to seek deeper knowledge of His Word. What is God going to do about the ones that do not want to seek Him and feed His sheep? God is going to remove those pastors and replace them with the ones that are serious about seeking Him and feeding His sheep. "For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered." (Jeremiah 10:21) And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. (Jeremiah 3:15) What office does every one today love to claim themselves as? A pastor.
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children." (Hosea 4:6) Notice it said "My people". You have to be in it in order to be called one of His people, so we know He is not talking about the ones in the world or is He talking about how to become saved by a simple act. If one is already saved and there is nothing else to do but wait for the great rapture then why did God say my people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge? Because there is more to salvation than just asking Jesus come come into your heart or Acts 2:38.
The church is in spiritual Babylon in this present hour. There are more winds of doctrine out there today than in the history of mankind. Why is this? Because the churches have cut off the operation of the Apostles and Prophets. They have been replaced with man's organizational governments and ideas, along with chisims and easy believisms.
You only see the offices of evangelists, pastors and teachers in operation in the churches today.Ephesians 4:11-14 - "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;"
Unto the knowledge of the Son of God? Is that verse telling me that we do not have the full knowledge of the Son of God yet? I thought everyone knows who the Son of God is?
According to that verse, we do not. Who then has the knowledge of the Son of God? Do the trinity believers? Do the twoness believers? How about the oneness believers?
According to that verse, no one has reached full maturity to the knowledge of the Son of God.
It is gonna take some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God , unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;"
Notice that verse 14 says: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine...We know that there is every wind of doctrine out there today. The reason there is every wind of doctrine is because we do not have the five fold in operation today so that these winds of doctrine may be destroyed.It will take all five offices in order for the body of Christ to come to full maturity and no more being tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine.

The DBMI ministry team has been given a 60' x 170' tent with 1,000 chairs and is commissioned by the Lord to go out into the highways and byways and preach the gospel unto all the world. That is our job in the DBMI ministry that God has called us to do.
If you are a minister that is running a church, or you are someone who knows someone who has a church and wishes to have a tent meeting in your area and want to have more souls added to your church, please do not hesitate to get in contact with me. We have tent meetings 7 days a week starting out around 6 or 7 pm nightly until the Holy Ghost stops moving. We usually do a 2 to 4 week tent meeting. The gifts of the Holy Ghost are in operation. The Lord heals the sick, cleanses the lepers, casts out devils, raises the dead, opens blind eyes, and sets the captives free. All these signs follow confirming His word.
About me personally...I'm married to the most beautiful woman in the world. I thank God for her everyday. What does the bible say about a good woman? "Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies." (Proverbs 31:10) Well I've found one. She is just like me in that her whole life is given to God. Not fulfilling the lusts of the flesh of this earth the way so many do now days. I just want us to do the will of God for our lives.
