I talk with many people that would belong to the 20 and younger crowd. I hear from them that they don't get anything from church. I get that they have no idea what the preacher is talking about. It's all too common for me. These kids, and some my age and older are all telling the same story. They don't understand. They seek advice and the elect men and women (pastors elders, deacons, missionary evangelists, etc) all tell them things that they need a dictionary to understand. They don't look into it and then the next thing from these elect people, they're backsliders and heathens!
I had to gain a understanding of what was happening here. I had to test the water. I believe in seeking counsel and advice from my pastor and immediate family. They have the most insight on me and my situations. I ventured outside to see what all was the real issue. I received the same confusion these needy and thirsty received! That's a problem!
I'm not going to talk specifically to the saved and anointed, nor will i keep it from the unsaved and inquiring mind. If some comes to you with a problem, you must keep it real with them. You have to get on their level and make them understand where you are coming from! You can have all the credentials in the world and then some but how can you expect to explain something to someone that has no clue! The same thing happens when we don't want to be bothered. We place ourselves so far up on a pedestal and have ourselves together, sometimes we brush off everybody else! Not right!
You have to examine the fact that when people approach you for any thing at all, there is a reason! It's a cry out for help and attention. There's something that you have experienced and/or are knowledgeable about that you can provide assistance! Jesus kept it real for us, way back when! He came down and experienced life as we know it. He experienced hardships and was even beaten and tortured. He served as that light for us, why can't we shine our light amongst the few people we come in contact with? Matthew 5:16
We've got to remember that everyone is not going to be on the same level as we are. They may be above us and need us to remind is that we're the same. They may be below us and not have our level of understanding and seeking knowledge and clarity. Keep it real with them. You can help them through a great deal if you would just be honest. Get off of that high horse. take off that crown. Open up yourself to others that you may be a blessing to them!
