Proverbs 25:28 AMP says, “He who has no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down and without walls.”

I am writing this article not to shame ANYONE, but to call the body of Christ into accountability; and to reveal what is really going on in the spirit with some of God’s people. Chaotic people are BROKEN PEOPLE. They are hurting deeply! It is imperative that we understand this.

You might ask: What does this mean? This means that there is a spiritual root (and there can be more than one) to their actions and behavior. It means that your love walk and your patience are being tested. Many believers have NO TOLERANCE for people who are in need of deliverance in this area and they will cut them off. But for those of us who can see, and whom God has assigned to walk with His people through this, there is a requirement for “truth in love.”

2 Corinthians 12:20 CJB, “For I am afraid of coming and finding you not the way I want you to be, and also of not being found the way you want me to be. I am afraid of finding quarreling and jealousy, anger and rivalry, slander and gossip, arrogance and disorder.”

As a body, we must address a very serious issue among our members – not to shame anyone, but to continue equipping and bringing us all into the unity of the faith. There is a stronghold wreaking havoc among us, and it is literally hidden from the casual eye yet destroying God-appointed relationships daily. That stronghold, as father revealed it to me, is “the spirit of chaos.”

If I were to ask you why you write, what would you say? I’ve heard writers say, “I write because it is who I am and what I do. I just don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t write.” The other answer I’ve heard is; “I write to encourage others and to glorify God.”

While these reasons are spoken from the heart of a scribe, they only scratch the surface of God’s plans for us. We are doing a whole lot more than just writing or even encouraging others. Whenever I am asked that question, now that I know and understand God’s purpose for scribal ministry, I often say: “I write because I must. The book of Acts must continue to be written, and there must be a continuous written witness to the gospel for the generations to come.“
