2 Peter 1:16 16 We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
This is a warning scripture, some people today will make up stories to gain your attention. Be careful and become more in tuned with your inner-self. Some people who deliver a message of salvation have their own agenda in mind. They want something out of your and they use, or twist the word of God to facilitate that want or need.
Just remember what God gives us is free and doesn't cost a dime. Tithes and offering comes in various ways and doesn't always involve money. In Jeremiah 17:9, 10 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? “I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.” and in Luke 6:45, it says The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. These two verses I use to say, search your own heart for the treasures you lay down before God because within the heart God looks.
I know I got out of context but this scripture in 2 Peter only reminds me of the deceitful people we all encounter that come in the name of Jesus Christ. The Christ is with us all which is the Presence of God in us, The Christ. Become in tune with Gods Presence and you, me, all of us will find that how we live our lives will manifest itself in a whole different arena. We did not witness the majesty of Jesus Christ but we can witnesses the fulfillment of The Christ if we allow God to dwell in this church. From this glory we can congregate within society and build Gods church as it was created in the beginning, obedient to the Word of God.
