Hyper-Agenda-Ism

We cannot enter into study of the scriptures with a mindset that is fixated on any other agenda or preconceived ideology and THINK we will receive the truth of scriptures. Such reasoning is carnal and the carnal man is enmity with the Word.

A person who believes in a rapture before the coming of the Lord will enter into study looking for proof texts to support what he has already determined to be a truth, and will miss out on what the Word is attempting to teach us.


The Word of God is the pure language written in heaven, and we are blessed to have received it. Let us remember as we open the Book, that we are partaking in an exchange between a HOLY GOD and ourselves, between HE, who is all knowing, and we, who are severely limited in our understanding.


I have come to understand that this hyper-focus on agenda-ism, is yet another ploy of satan to distract us from growing into the full measure and stature of Christ, and must repented of.

Can I learn anything of God from scripture study, clinging to my OWN ideas. How can a Calvinist realize that the true calling, when they are believing that only the “elect” will inherit salvation? How will they understand the scriptures that says God calls all to repentance and salvation, but that man will chose whether to accept the gift or reject it? Their reasoning is clouded with hyper-agenda-ism and they block the Spirit, thereby silencing God Himself.

Those stuck in hyper-agenda-ism are stuck – and they lack the fruit that the scriptures require us to produce. If we would simply get our minds out of God’s way, a natural progression to maturity would occur.

When listening to a minister of the faith, we would do well to call into mind how the apostles and prophets revealed the voice of God to us. How were the Words given, and what? Was there equality in presentation, sharing not only the promises, but the warning also? Are preachers consistently in a mindset that reveals their own hyper-agenda-ism, or are we hearing the flow of the Holy Spirit, with the witness of pure truth from the Throne room? Are disciples being made, or are the listeners stuck in the mud hearing the same teachings over and over and over again?

The Word of God teaches us to cast down our (own) imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. (anti-christ).

Only the Word Himself can teach us the Word and only by the Spirit can we understand the Word. Jesus told us that His sheep would hear His voice and follow Him, that they would not follow the voice of a stranger – a stranger whose own hyper-agenda-ism takes them away from the flock and leads them off a cliff.

Satan wants to disable us; he wants to break our legs and arms, weaken our minds and steal Jesus Christ away from us. False ministers/teachers serve him very well by chiseling away, little by little, the engrafted Word within us.


If we as a church are dependent upon men for truth, we will fall. If all we hear is about the love of God, but not His severity, how will we know the true Jesus of the scriptures. Contrariwise, if all we hear is the voice of condemnation, our faith will be harmed to such a point that one may even leave the faith, believing that the hyper-agenda-ism he has heard IS truth.


Peter told us to add to our faith --


2Pe 1:5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;


2Pe 1:6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;


2Pe 1:7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.


2Pe 1:8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.


2Pe 1:9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.


2Pe 1:10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:


2Pe 1:11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.


Peter teaches us that if virtue, knowledge, patience, temperance, charity and the like are within us, we will neither be barren or unfruitful.


I must also point out, that while we must have discerning spirits to determine whether an individual is being led of the Holy Spirit by the quality of their teachings, it is also important to note that God will call an individual to preach on a specific topic. For example, God called Jonah to Ninevah to preach repentance and this was also the message of John the Baptist. John and Jonah did not reveal mysteries, that Paul for example did. It was one cry from the heart of God – REPENT. So, again, we must discern, by knowing God’s voice and truth.
