Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomsoever I send receives me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me -John 13:20.
Beautiful words are these coming straight from the Savior's mouth. If I can receive from Pastor Benny Hinn or Evangelist Reinhard Bonke I should receive from everyone else who brings a message from the Lord. Therefore if Pastor Nicky Cruise is ministering I must receive from our God through His anointed servant, what thus saith the Lord.
If you find you're not comfortable receiving from any of God servants then you're disrespecting and dishonoring God, the one who sent His messenger with His message to bless you and you will block and miss out on important blessings. Remember God is no respecter of persons and He sees everyone equally before His eyes. He created everyone and none is righteous, no not one. We are only righteous because God our father sees Jesus when He looks at us and we're the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
If God were to look on everyone in this world the way some look and judge others, there would not be one soul left on this earth for all have sin and come short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23). Just as He looks beyond all faults and sees our need for a Savior so we should see ourselves and not consider ourselves qualified to judge anyone. Judge not, less ye be judged (Matt. 7:1). Accept and respect the messenger from God and see him/her as you see God. Whoever accepts the messenger accepts and respects Him who sent the messenger.
Prayer: Father help us to humble ourselves and esteem our brothers and sisters from every background that you send to minister to us. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
Encouragement: Accept, respect, honor and bless the man or woman of God at all times. By doing so, you certainly will not block your blessings.
