Ok right,
So this is a very simple observation about how the Gospel is able to be more expertly interpreted, more faithfully delivered. What I am hoping for here, is that you will open your mind up to the idea that there is a true way for the Gospel to be received, that differs for almost everyone. Not only that, but others trusting the Gospel in different ways, will be comforted by the transition to a purer form of Gospel. "Blessed are the feet of those, who bring good news" (from memory, letters) it says in the Bible, how much more if their message is refined and obedience tested? So the power of the Gospel is to Salvation, that won't change, what we need to be mindful of, is that the way we heard the message, is not completely going to save someone else, who is waiting for you to get to the point.
So what is a "quick" Gospel? That is something that will be revealed in time to come, but we have on authority from the Bible that God is able to shorten that flesh be able to survive - so the quick Gospel will be something that enables people to believe it more in their own way, not less. This is about mastery, but it is also about relationship. Jesus told of the Sower, throwing out seed wherever it could land; what it did not say, was what sort of seed it was, you could sow the seed the same way, and if the seed is more suited to the soil, you will have a greater harvest? Do you see the connection? This is the power of the Gospel, its power cannot be diminished or destroyed.
There is a power in this that is especially important: the waters of MYSTERY cannot be quickened. In other words, BABYLON will never understand the Gospel. The Gospel is an assurance to the believer, not to the perpetual doubter. Again in other words, MYSTERY will never be finished in time to receive the Gospel; that's why you feel that tug in your heart when you go to share the Gospel, there is always that doubt that the world will do nothing but treat it like any other message. You have to brave the fear, but the fear is real. The good news is, that the more powerful the Gospel becomes, the more damage it can do to the false doctrines of the world. The Holy Spirit is not averse to this, He is anticipating it! Really what we should be praying is that the "Gospel to come" advance the Holy Spirit and the testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I hope this has been of some encouragement.
God bless.
