Shaking off man made theology is difficult. We absorb more culturally than we realize and we don’t recognize our culture until we live in another culture. This goes for people who have lived over seas or for those who have chosen to live in the kingdom after being dipped in religion.

Our culture is like our skin, it is so much apart of us we do not even realize what we think, what we say, what we believe is cultural not biblical. Western culture has taught us that the end of times is the darkest of times. We have been dipped in a left behind theology, a fear mongering messaging that has altered our way of reading the word of God.

When the scales of culture fall from our eyes, when the kingdom awakening happens in us, we will see the Word of God in a way we have never seen it before. The Word will actuallly be able to say what it says to us, not what man has taught us.

Proverbs 4:18-19 says, “The ways of right-living people glow with light; the longer they live, the brighter they shine. But the road of wrongdoing gets darker and darker— travelers can’t see a thing; they fall flat on their faces.”

We don’t like demarcations, for we have been dipped in cultural socialism in a way we don’t even understand. The kingdom of God is not diminishing it is increasing at least that is what Daniel 2:44 says, “The God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, and that kingdom will not be left for another people; it will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will itself endure forever.”

This morning I am singing a new song, I am singing, “I shake it off and say You are good; I shake it off and say You are good; I shake it off!” Maybe you want to sing along, for it is time to shake off cultural theology and join the kingdom awakening.
