Wisely Submitted as a Cautionary Tale: The Close of the Eli Ministry Office Great Era

I SAMUEL FOLLOWS..but first analyze the MODERN DAY CHRISTIAN MINISTRY, MASSIVELY CONFUSED, “STATE OF THE UNIFIED ONION”

THESE which follow, are only a TIP of an ENORMOUS, inherited Ministry BIG ICEBERG. I cannot go into it every bit adequately in just ONE article. I will begin to BRING UP related CHIEF POINTS for the wise Ministry leader National, Global, Ministry Diverse all of YOU to consider ..and to continue to seek the Real LORD..BUT let’s not ACCUSE but doctrinal caustic toxic, morphed FRUIT..to EVALUATE, TO really ASSESS ..and also will need to admit..NO ONE SIZE OFFICE SR MINISTRY, JUNIOR RISING, AND /OR STABLE ELDER, GOVERNING LAY will “Have it ALL”..meaning including THIS one.
COMING AND SEEN AS RELATED:

1 A RISE IN CLASSY PRESENTATION..also assessing the USA Historical RISE National Christian Media TV Ministry all around Ministry effects (this human person spans the PRE MEDIA CLONING CLUB /WOULD BE ELITE MINISTER CHRISTIAN DAYS..back to Rev Billy Graham and Jesus People..BEFORE JESUS Was a “FAMOUS” WELL KNOWN SUPER STAR..later even like a ROCK STAR…..but..that came in during my Sent Watch.

Below..to evaluate, compare and contrast: RESULTING PRODUCED “KINDS, STYLES, STYLES” OF FRUIT

PRE: BILLY GRAHAM representing JESUS to AMERICA

THEN late 1960’s…1970s...BUDDING HOLY SPIRIT REAL, MIGHTY MOVES: JESUS PEOPLE (when I came in), teaching training Holy Spirit based now FAMOUS TV (non self righteous moves..BEFORE “Claiming JESUS NAME as ” TAKING SIDES” WITH YOUR OWN BRAND  POLITICS “…ALSO  this was long before “RELIGIOUS RIGHT” (of which I was never even once part of) and CELEBRITY , wannabe ELEVATED, “CLUBBY ELITE” Christian ministry..

NEO: 1980s starting with JIM BAKKER ..to this myself, the famous TV persona, the first of all of the  THE MEGA CHRISTIAN TRENDS (Nothing WRONG with MEGA, FAME, LOOKING GOOD, TV MEDIA LIGHTING/PRESENTATION in itself)

MANY …NOW CURRENT: Simply evaluate WHAT, WHO, HOW Christ is ongoing represented..WHAT is the basic “produced fruit”..and

1990’s..CHRISTIAN CHARISMA MAGAZINE about 1996:  Carried this ad: Book is coming from Prophet Bob Buess prophesying “A SPIRIT OF ENTERTAINMENT ..FANTASY WILL TRY TO INVADE THE CHURCH”

REAL WORLD INFLUENCE..(meaning secular worldly TV) as I remember. this was GREATLY influential..even in  many of  the born again us..THE LIFESTYLES OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS (1984-1995) was a popular secular  TV show..I submit that this also may have had a big ministry part. I new from networking with area pastors that this had effected many THEIR views of “needs” “reality” and it may have affected various views of mine..but just for a season. An inner city pastor, close ministry/family type friend..shared how many of his deep inner city,  residing in the  projects, who could not afford automobiles, so thus were limited in social exploration..remarked WAY BACK in that time..that his all inner city black parishioners..had “never met  a white person..so that they got their ONLY VIEW OF CAUCASIAN HUMAN PERSONS was from the LIFESTYLES OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS” (** I lived 16 miles away in the area outskirts..but HIS fine Christian folk only had a limited bus route)

It was for me a very informative and deeply troubling comment. (probably mid 90’s)

• ANCIENT TD archives: SEPT 16, 2019….OF THE COMING ACTS 2 MINISTRY CLEANING FLUSH.which would be CHARACTER plus ONGOING: (JAN prior to leaving DFW)  2020 “THE DEMAS-IZATION OF AMERICA” Leader Word (just before Covid)
• 

BY NOW I AM WONDERING:

Q. HOW IS THE AMERICA WE USED TO VIEW AND RESPECT? (NOTE: VIEWING THE GOOD PARTS OF THE USA AS “CALM” “CONFRONTING BUT NOT BULLYING, DOMINATING…ACCUSING”…ALSO THE KIND PARTS …APART FROM THE VAST ENTRENCHED DEEP INJUSTICES) BUT THAT IS WHY THIS NEEDED ARTICLE..AS

Q. WHERE HAS THE GOODLY BORN AGAIN CHURCH FULLY  BEEN??

3. NOTE: THIS SPECIFICITY IS ABOUT A DIVISIVE CHANGE IN BORN AGAIN CULTURE…ALSO.. IS NOT “AGAINST” ANY “FAMOUS PERSONS”… And I am in fact GRATEFUL for the many renown on MEDIA..it’s been a LIFE SAVER….Yet I comment..only due to the USA DECLINE in the Church attendance, but the In DENIAL..assessed too often as PLAYTIME ministry ..while USA “appears to be in an ongoing downward DEATH SPIRAL”..

4. MY ONLY PURPOSE…I create this sort of STIR….to call attention to the TOP MINISTERS….and the LOCAL ELITE..to the FALSE FRUIT and some who are OCCULT..and the massive PRIOR COVID and FOLLOWING…FALLING AWAY..to ponder, reflect, to ME CENTRIC  assess and where God keenly guided..to  adjust.

SO I SUBMIT..that when we assess WHAT is being chiefly taught, and find it to be primarily a ministry achievement, Blessing immature FOCUS…then it is up to elders, trainers to locate and mega, micro TEACH these Basic Common Doctrines (Ephesians 4 mentored by Apostle Paul) and to then ADJUST to ADD IN  the (many RELATIONSHIP EFFECTING) First Church MISSING DOCTRINES which breed a HEALTHY FIRST CHURCH sense of Humble ongoing Transformed EPHESIANS 4 type of  COMMUNITY” ..BUT OLDER MINISTRY GENERATIONS..GENERALS “CAUTION” that YOU do not add in the inherited, passed way down COUNTRY LAW which is now in MUCH Spirit filled.pentecostal, cultish prophetic and mostly white eagle Moving in the Gifts non denominations, official good deed doing denominations.

( THUS..this person.. will not name Good Folks NAMES, GROUPS in this setting, but if one wants me to share just WHOM I will privately as I value UNITY, TRUST and “Discerning the others in the Body of Christ Correctly” and as I am not an Apostle Paul (who named Alexander the Coppersmith and trendy self seeking DEMAS). I will share if I feel the pastors, minister, leader is true, Godly remnant, not a backbiter.. humble.)

5. ALL REFLECT UPON…Q. WHAT EFFECT ON CHRISTIAN FAMILY, MINISTRY, EGO, FANTASY, ENTERTAINMENT, SINCERITY, PUBLICITY “GETTING WELL KNOWN” 

BUT during the last 20 media soaked years, I have often recalled the old black and white cowboy western I saw while lying on the couch visiting my late dear mother. I recall this one line from what was a genre of ‘(back pre PC then) a COWBOY VS INDIAN MOVIE. Now I respectfully refer to these as Native Americans. Also, as I simply heard this line ABOUT Native Americans owning this belief..due to it being an OLD WESTERN from the 40s or 30s..I am clueless if THEY really all believed it. HOWEVER it makes a huge comparison to video ministry RIGHT NOW.

HERE GOES: …One rugged cowpoke remarked to another,

“THE INDIANS DON’T LIKE HAVING THEIR PICTURE TAKEN. THEY BELIEVE THAT IT STEALS THEIR SOUL.” 

And isn’t it true that the USA TV MEDIA EFFECTED viewing big CULTURE is now DIFFERENT than in many years past..which culture also includes MINISTRY, LAY,YOUTH, TODDLERS ON UPWARD..also most of YOU and this ME..also the DIVIDED /WITCH WATCHING AMERICA.

.6. THE NEED TO BE BE VIEWED AS LEADER  WITH FASHION…Newly introduced Multi-cultural government, blessing, and authority DOCTRINES, practices, fashions and ‘NOUVEAU PHARISEEISM” ..producing markedly RIGHT WING (conservative) opposes LEFT WING..in anti the other style ACCUSATIVE NEGATIVE politics.

7.USA  ELITE, LEISURE, CALM, EASE....all seemed to have allowed the HOLLYWOOD Ministry “Lifestyles of the NOUVEAU RICHE and Wannabe FAMOUS”….I submit this as my own opinion..that USA RISE IN WESTERN NOUVEAU RICH SPAWNED BY 80’s and EASE, TV MEDIA ADVERTISING..which DOCTRINES and ALL OF THAT PRESENTATION…and GOD’S BLESSING OF “EASE AND LEISURE IN MOST PARTS OF THE MINISTRY…I submit..gave rise to the now VAST.. “MINISTRY BUSINESS NOUVEAU RICHE SUCCESS” as a BREED.

BENEATH has been produced …and at this important EPIC TIME .each Christian Minister MUST CHOOSE whom THEY will truly SERVE. (and I include this myself, also)

NOTE: This, it is my submitted life opinion, that I SAMUEL 1-2.. parallels what goes on today in CERTAIN DOCTRINAL SPECIAL FIELDS of the modern day Christian ministry.

SYNOPSIS OF CHAPTER 1: Eli has two wicked pastors on his staff. They are his 2 renegade, wastral Chosen Sons, Hophni and Phineas. Yet Eli does nothing to correct or discipline..and there is slow buildup which God’s area people are quick to recognize. ELI and his playboy ministry sons, are biased and repeatedly MISUSE, USE, ABUSE “GOD’S OFFERINGS” and “LEADER WOMEN WHO COME TO THE CHURCH”**

**(for this openly reveals their “no holy fear of the Lord” demeaning impure character; and their surprising DEVALUING, DISRESPECT for the MIGHTY HOLY LORD GOD, for their OWN CHOSEN OFFICE but also for their EASY DISRESPECT FOR “GOD’S MONEY” AND HIS DAUGHTERS (EGO MISOGYNY, MATERIALISTIC, BLIND, DULL, VOID OF EMPATHY, NO LONGER HAVING HUMAN OTHER CENTRIC MINISTRY RESPECT..ALL ARE COMPASSION FATIGUED)

THE LOCALLY HIGH PROFILE OFFICE ELI  notices a weeping woman far away on the temple steps. He shows his HEART ..for at FIRST aged Eli Office dimly regards this Lone Woman as ‘simply another TYPECAST” for instead of rising up and walking over (due to compassion) to represent the LORD to her..to find out what the matter was…His cold, stony heart, tries to first spare himself the energy and he ACCUSER JUDGES, LABELS the far off weeping  HANNAH as ‘just another drunk”…based upon the countless many who have come to the temple in many years. 

HANNAH’S BACKSTORY  Indeed Hannah’s backstory was that she was NOT a overly emotional, time wasting DRUNK. No, her own husband Elkanah loved her more than the other wife, Peninah. But Peninah relentlessly persecuted the barren HANNAH and  that is WHY Hannah had fled to the House of the Lord to pray but also to take a brief time out from her supreme stress.

A FEW SECONDS LATER Office High Priest Eli, does adjust and prophesies over Hannah. LATER on Hannah turns out to be the MOTHER of the FIRST NATIONAL HEBREW PROPHET “SAMUEL” 

and ALL of this (now going to Chapter 2) preceded GOD’S NATIONAL EPIC OFFICE REAL BIG CHANCE..which I name THE CLEANSING ICHABOD.

1 SAMUEL 2: Outlined by this Myself

^{7 “}Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord.” I Samuel 2:17

TO BE USED AS A MINISTRY  CAUTIONARY TALE

 

OVERSIGHT SUBMITTED CHIEF POINT TO PONDER: LET’S HEAR GOD FOR HOW TO MAKE THE OFFERING “NOT” DESPISED BY GOD’S PEOPLE…TODAY. I will lead off by provoking realistic basic THINK TANK PROVEN POINTS.

King James Version I SAMUEL 2

SIMPLE OUTLINE..To make various direct Pondering POINTS.

I SAMUEL VERSES 2-10  Eli functions in an oracle prophetic office.. despite his many shortcomings, God still prophetic ministry uses him…After Eli has prophesied over the barren leader woman of God..causes HER to rejoice and give an anointed, very strong, similar to a prophetic announcement

2 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the Lord, mine horn is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.

² There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.

³ Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

⁴ The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.

⁵ They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.

⁶ The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

⁷ The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.

⁸ He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord‘s, and he hath set the world upon them.

⁹ He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

¹⁰ The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the Lord shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.

I SAMUEL 2:11

^{I SAMUEL V 11 ELKANAH is Hannah’s supportive loving Husband. As time had progressed he and Hannah bore the first NATIONAL PROPHET OFFICE SAMUEL. And for the first few years the couple sent the young boy SAMUEL to the House of the Lord to be mentored, by ELI.}

 

And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the Lord before Eli the priest.

I SAMUEL 2:12

I  SAMUEL 12 “Eli’s two second in command associate pastors were notorious and nicknamed the Sons of Belial” means “WORTHLESS, LAWLESS, RECKLESS” We notice that while they were on the prophetic priestly office staff, ministering and officiating as God’s ministers..that they neither pastor really “knew” (implication: had no holy fear of)  the Lord.

¹² Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord.

I SAMUEL 2:13- THE TAWDRY OFFICE MINISTRY

¹³ And the priest’s custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand;

¹⁴ And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither.

¹⁵ Also before they burnt the fat, the priest’s servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw.

¹⁶ And if any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, Nay; but thou shalt give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force.

^{NOTE KEY VERSE 17 AS RIGHT NOW, TODAY……}

¹⁷ Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord: for men (MOST OF THE PEOPLE)  abhorred the offering of the Lord. **

***(GOD’S HOLY OFFERINGS WERE MADE FUN OF, ACCUSED, MADE TO SEEM SUSPICIOUS, REVILED, UNTRUSTWORTHY) due to the Ministry CHARACTER. (their CHOICES, Faith Filled NO HOLY TERROR OF THE LIVING LORD)

HOWEVER…AS THE  OLD, SETTLED, ELI OFFICE MINISTRY  WAXED WORSE AND WORSE….God’s NEW  Ministry ERA was  sprouting up, right under their very spiritual noses;

¹⁸ But Samuel ministered before the Lord, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.

¹⁹ Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.

²⁰ And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The Lord give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the Lord. And they went unto their own home.

²¹ And the Lord visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the Lord.

THE CLOSE OF THE EPIC ELI OFFICE MINISTRY ERA:

²² Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

PS ELI FINALLY HUMANNED UP AND MINISTRY UP FRONT CONFRONTED HIS ERRANT PASTORAL MIGHTY MEGA CHOSEN STAFF:

²³ And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.

²⁴ Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the Lord‘s people to transgress.

²⁵ If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the Lord would slay them.

THE RISING NEW DAY CONTINUALLY GROWS, THRIVES..AND WITH GOD AND HUMAN BIG FAVOR

²⁶ And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the Lord, and also with men.

THE APPEARANCE OF THE NAMELESS, FACELESS, NOT WELL KNOWN..YET TRUE, OFFICE PROPHET WHO GIVES THE FINAL WORD FROM THE LORD TO ELI:

²⁷ And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh’s house?

²⁸ And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?

²⁹ Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?

THE UPCOMING MINISTRY ICHABOD:

³⁰ Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the Lord saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

³¹ Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father’s house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.

³² And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.

³³ And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age.

NOT ONE BIT FUN…

³⁴ And this shall be a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.

HOWEVER A FORETOLD IMPORTANT, NEW…COMING NEW ERA..

³⁵ And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever.

³⁶ And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thine house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests’ offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.

WE CONCLUDE..and so THE LONG AWAITED OFFICE “ICHABOD”..GOD’S NATIONAL OFFICE HIGH PRIEST HOUSE CLEANING SOON CAME

READ CHAPTER 3…since we have no ability to dig into it..due to the length.
