What is a legalistic Christian?

What is a legalistic Christian? They are ones who are burdened by a constant sense of shame and a paranoid dread of losing their salvation. They are stoic, joyless, lifeless, and celebrate the preaching of a mean gospel. Serving at times seems tedious and weighty, with a feeling that the only way to salvation is nothing but pain and hardship.

The stigma of religion can mess up a person’s mind. This stems from teaching metric instead of faith and the truth of the gospel trying to fix a person starting on the outside.

What are metrics? It is a system a standard of measurement. For example, some religions measure a person by a dress code, what they eat, where they go etc. To determine if you are in right standing with God, causing someone to by default work for their salvation. Doing a good work or looking like you good and all messed up no the inside.

Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Hold on to God’s hand and let go of man for his yoke is easy. Learn of Him, there is so much life with Him. He works from the inside out and not the outside in. He will change your garments.

Think of it this way: if you were hired for the military, they make you fold your clothes up, put them in a bag, and leave them at home. Then you change into the military uniform that they provide. Right after going through tough, rough, and hard training. Your uniform changes again with upgraded equipment, badges of honor, and more.

Let go of the stigma of religion.

Del Pickens A devoted man of the cloth, called to establish a remnant in the land, eschewing grandiosity and superficialities of modern church gatherings for the profound task of ushering in God’s kingdom on earth.

Rather than tout professional accolades, I humbly acknowledge my calling: filled with the Holy Spirit of Yahweh, summoned to the family business of soul fishing, and despite a past marked by indiscretions and shame, God's grace has deemed my life worthy for His glory. Each day, I shed the old self, embracing transformation, and am focused on becoming more and more like Him.

Blessed with life's blessings and lessons, I attribute my experiences and attributes to divine pricing. My love for the Lord knows no bounds, and I remain indebted to Him for awakening me each day. I do not exploit God for personal gain but see life as a debt owed to Him. Grateful for each breath, I vow to testify to His grace, mercy, and power for as long as I am granted life.

Unveiling Purpose: A Visionary’s Journey The Path Unraveled: Finding Purpose Amidst Confusion

Questioning the Faith: Seeking Understanding

“ The greatest day of your life is when you realize why you are here, your purpose!” So someone said. But, they didn’t mention the complexities and conflicts that came along with it, making it the day you question your entire existence and past. Welcome to “hell on earth” the day of confusion and the onset of many head and heartaches to come. This is the life of knowing your purpose, the life of a visionary.

I have always been one to question things and took to studying at an early age. I wanted to know “how it worked no matter what. God, life, heaven, and hell were all so intriguing and equally confusing all throughout my teenage years and beyond. I would pose many questions to my mother and she encouraged me to study more, knowing that I wouldn’t stop until I was satisfied with an answer.

Roots in Starr, South Carolina: A Journey Begins

The Revelation: Embracing the Call

Although growing up in the small town of Starr, South Carolina, and deeming Anderson a big city (current population of less than 30,000), I knew there was something for me to do. Early childhood was spent primarily in Baptist congregations being that my grandparents were Baptist. At age 4, my mom transitioned to Pentecostal after being invited by her cousin and enjoying the service. So, I’ve “known” Of God all my life, essentially.

I don’t remember the day of the “official” coming into the knowledge of my purpose; I feel it evolved over time, or perhaps my understanding of it. However, the day I realized the reason why I existed, it was a punch in the gut “I know that I know” conviction, that wouldn’t allow me to rest. I was, for the 1st time in my life; stuck, perplexed, and scared to be honest.

Challenges along the Way: Tribulations

Trials and

After accepting the calling to something I knew was above my pay grade and comprehension, my life began to unravel. My spirit became uneasy with continuing my religious journey of the church, and that is a whole conversation by itself. My then-wife was the daughter of the Bishop, and because God was taking me somewhere, I became a mental mess. I couldn’t get any answers and everything that I trusted and knew, I was now questioning and my very life depended on it.

A Journey of Trials: Finding Strength in Adversity Next came jail, another vow broken, and the disgrace of being locked up took me deeper down this path. If that wasn’t enough, the next year I lost my mother, suddenly, at the tender age of 47, on Christmas Eve and a day shy of her 25th wedding anniversary. I was CRUSHED.

The Road to Restoration: Faith Tested and Renewed With purpose, God has this built-in “will to live” that makes you get up and fight although you don’t want to. At this point, I had to live for my siblings, and I was also so mad that I refused to let God punk me in giving up. My health is fully restored, God has afforded me the restoration

He promised, and I’m forever dedicated and determined that no matter what or who comes or goes, my life has ONE purpose and that’s to serve in the Army of Yahweh, the only one and true all-powerful and living God.

Challenges and Revelations: Embracing the Call to Kingdom Building I encourage each of you to take a stand, fearlessly, and take a stand for the family.

Don’t stress getting it right because the how doesn’t matter and you WILL mess up (or so you will feel) and unfortunately, others will be affected by your trials and errors. Keep a pure heart and pray for restoration for all that helps you on your journey, and God will grant them their portion as he has all throughout history for those who showed favor to His children on a move.

Conclusion: A Call to Action The journey to your calling isn’t going to be a bed of roses, but a true vision will be tested, and if not, it’s not of God. No matter what you’re feeling compelled to do or how the calling came, tighten up your boots and prepare for the course. God has a unique plan for each of us, and we all have gifts needed for the building of God’s Kingdom here on Earth.
