"My Ways Are Not Your Ways"
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts." — Isaiah 55:8–9 (KJV)
I am deeply troubled for what is going to happen in the near future. Most traditional, Pentecostal, and charismatic churches—including my former church—will hit the hard rock and sink.
Listen to me. My heart is troubled. I mean that inner pain that feels as though your heart is about to burst within you or dissolve under the unbearable weight of what you perceive in the spirit. There are burdens that words cannot fully describe. As Jeremiah declared, "His word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones" (Jeremiah 20:9). Such burdens are not born from fear but from what one senses while standing before the mysteries of God.
In the near future, events are going to start unfolding which will be like a slap in the face for many doctrines in many churches, especially those that relied heavily upon information, human intelligence, and anchored their understanding to what is happening and seen. They trained people to see, interpret, and understand biblical teachings primarily through natural reasoning. That very habit is going to become their death trap.
There are dimensions of God's dealings that cannot be entered by intellect alone. "For we walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7). The visible has always been the lowest realm of spiritual understanding. The invisible governs the visible, and faith lays hold of what the natural mind cannot comprehend.
Things are going to unfold so fast and so overwhelmingly that the human mind and emotions will struggle to process them. Pastors are going to resign in great numbers, and others, overwhelmed by shame too great for them to bear, will prefer to end their own lives. The shaking will not merely expose doctrines—it will expose the foundations upon which many have built.
Babylon is fallen, not in the manner it was preached, but in the manner God ordained it.
Many have imagined Babylon only as an external system, yet Babylon is first a spiritual principle—the exaltation of human wisdom, religious pride, self-confidence, and man's attempt to ascend into the counsel of God apart from God's own revelation. Every tower built upon human certainty eventually falls before the wisdom of Heaven.
The Church was never called to understand and interpret how God does things or how He fulfills His promises. The Church was called to trust and obey. Beyond that lies a deadly trap.
This song will make sense to many during that time:
"God will do it again. I may not know when, and I may not know how, but the truth is, He will do it again."
Yes, says the Lord:
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts." — Isaiah 55:8–9 (KJV)
Therefore, the Church's duty was to call people to believe and obey as they live lives of full repentance, surrender, and dependence upon God. But instead, what did the Church do?
It began to eat the forbidden fruit.
The first temptation in Eden was not merely eating a fruit—it was reaching for knowledge that belonged to God alone. "Ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil" (Genesis 3:5). Ever since then, mankind has desired to occupy the place where only God belongs.
Pastors began to appear more spiritual when they could explain when and how God would act. Members regarded them as deeper because they seemed to possess hidden knowledge concerning God's movements. Yet the deeper mystery of the Kingdom is not knowing God's secrets but trusting God's character.
Remember that even Jesus Christ overcame this very temptation. When His disciples wanted to know the timing of God's Kingdom, He refused to enter forbidden territory.
"It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power." — Acts 1:7 (KJV)
My friend, Jesus was God manifested in the flesh, "the image of the invisible God" (Colossians 1:15), and "the express image of His person" (Hebrews 1:3). His response was not a confession of weakness but a revelation of divine order. He was teaching that there are realms the Father has reserved within His own authority. He was showing us that what belongs to God must remain with God unless He chooses to reveal it.
In other words, do not seek what belongs to God. If you desire to know what God has not revealed, you open doors to temptation and invite deception. Darkness always disguises itself as deeper light.
The when and the how belong to God's infinite wisdom. They are expressions of His sovereignty. If God were to surrender His sovereign wisdom to human possession apart from revelation, the distinction between the Creator and the creature would disappear. That has always been Satan's ancient ambition—to persuade humanity that it can ascend into God's place.
That is the cliff from which many have fallen without realizing it.
Some may say, "We have never done that."
My friend, any teaching whose interpretation sought to explain the when and the how of God without God's own revelation in the present moment was already a death trap. Information without revelation produces pride. Revelation without humility produces deception. But revelation received through surrender produces life.
Now the preachers, pastors, and many others are going to know that there is none like God and none who can be compared to Him. "To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?" (Isaiah 40:18).
He can change the script at any moment without asking permission from theologians, denominations, traditions, prophetic systems, or human expectations.
For "He doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?" — Daniel 4:35 (KJV)
The Church's greatest safety has never been in explaining God.
Its greatest safety has always been in trusting Him.
For the fear of the Lord begins where human certainty ends.
