#WELL-MEANING-BUT-IMMATURE...
We ALL know someone, who is "well-meaning, but immature", and although we can SEE "the gift of God in them", we also recognize the unpolished areas and innocent-ignorance that governs much of what people say that are "qualified in their own minds"; but have NOT been properly prepared or become accountable to anyone else, but themselves!
"Renegade Spirits", "Rebels with/without a Cause", and "Religious Non-conformists" tend to be the LOUDEST dissenters of anything "organized", or seen as a part of the "institutional church"!
As I've stated MANY TIMES BEFORE, everyone is NOT graced to speak to matters pertaining to the Body of Christ, because "by reason of exercise and use", their unqualified!
EVERYTHING IN GOD is "graduated development", NOT based upon "anointing's" and "gifts"! Because, if you're NOT "graced", you do MORE HARM, than good!
I do NOT position myself with people by "assuming oversight" because of my particular grace and God-ordained experience that HE is the author of..
BUT, when I encounter the "orphan spirit" amongst some of my gifted brothers and sisters in the Body, I first PRAY and then if God permits - build relationship with them, to provide whatever feedback and counsel that they may need or are "open too"!
PRAY for the "developing gifts" that are "finding their voice", but come across like "BULLS IN A CHINA STORE"...knocking down all the wares and goods that are meant to be distributed for God's purposes; even if we see "no use" for them in the scheme of things!
We PROPHESY IN PART, so don't misread your usefulness as "being God's gift to the Body", or as some "voice that doesn't need correction or accountability"!
IF YOU POST something to Facebook or other social media, EXPECT feedback from the qualified and the unqualified!
THE ONLY "immutable counsel" and "inerrant expression" is found in the mouth of GOD - ALMIGHTY!
YOU are NOT above reproach - apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, teacher, etc..
HUMBLE YOURSELF and "serve Christ's Body in a spirit of humility"...YOU & I aren't old enough or wise enough to DIRECT, Christ's Church - NO MATTER how "anointed" you think that you are!
Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters; He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, "Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death. Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this. The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches. (Revelation 1:12-20 NKJV)
