Is God's Way something where I can design it myself?
God's Way is not a smorgasbord from which the Christian may pick and choose. For each person, God pulls back the veil of the flesh so the person can see some element of the Kingdom of God. The person either receives the revelation or not. We are all on the road somewhere. Many are stuck in a rut because they continually reject what God has revealed to them.
As stated above, many rejected the revelation when it was given. It is very difficult for a person who is getting the money, power, and prestige that often accompanies those who excel it is very difficult for a man to lay these things down. It's difficult for someone who has built a considerable organization to lay it down or to become simply, one of the brethren. It is difficult for a person who is making his living by a disorder to correct the disorder and lose his income. This is part of what is meant when it is said, Salvation is free, but the Kingdom will cost you everything. As a result, many went out and tried to create the Kingdom of God in their own ways, and did not regard God's ways.
Some labeled the Scriptural order as, The primitive church order. There is, however, no other order in the Bible. God's Way is the only way. God will not honor man's way, though He blesses us all in spite of the fact that we have not fully fulfilled in every way.
