Enlightenment

Enlightenment: the acts or means of enlightening. The state of being enlightened. What a concept. People in power fear it. People who are enlightened become empowered. It has happened All throughout history and even the church. When the common people began to read and the Bible was printed in their common language they became enlightened. WOW we actually had a reformation. A long time ago I left the church due to bad experiences as a preachers kid and that made a great excuse to party and sleep in on Sunday morning. Seven years ago I was brought back to the church through my wife and God took hold of my heart and gave me a desire to not only become a Christian again, but to become a leader. I was given the church's blessing to go to seminars on church prayer, healing, spiritual development, small group development and many more. I studied three years of Vantage Point 3 to train on how to be a great leader and lead others in the church to become enpowered and great responsible 'CHRIST LIKE' leaders themselves. I was becoming enlightened. I quickly found out that those who have positions of power and personal agendas in a church are not comfortable with enlightenment. They become uncomfortable and disguise their personal agendas as things that are best for the church. I think the crusades probably were a good example of this. Satan is a clever person.
