(… for this is the Church you want to belong to.)

 

Firstly it should be noted that brothers and sisters of Christ are physically sexual beings being male and female. Spiritually however we are asexual and therefore there is no spiritual difference between the spirits of males and females.

 

Sex is required only to keep the earth populated with vessels within which God can place His Spirit and so gain children for his eternal Kingdom. Marriage only lasts as long as people are alive. Jesus taught that there is no marriage after death (Matthew 22: 23 - 30) and in fact there is separation of marriages on the death of a spouse.

 

Secondly Brothers and Sisters of Christ should note that it is Servant hood to God and to others, which is the key requirement of any believer (Matthew 23: 8 – 12). No emphasis should be placed on any believer in terms of Authority.

 

All believers are equal in authority and none are subject to another (Matthew 23: 8 - 12). All are subject to the Holy Spirit of God and are accountable to Him and to Him alone.

 

So then the Church is not a building, organisation, or any top- down hierarchical structure.

 

The Church is in fact each believer interacting with other believers where they are a servant to other believers, supplying them with whatever goods, skills, knowledge, encouragement and spiritual gifts they have wherever and whenever possible. Moreover, Believers must supply these when prompted by the Spirit of God even when it is not in line with the worldly way of doing things.

 

So what happened to the Church?

 

satan, being a finite creature, can only be in one place at one time. He relies on demons in a hierarchical reporting structure to provide him with the information he requires to cause the maximum damage to God’s Church of believers.

 

During the first century, he attempted to wipe out all Christians. This did not work, so he infiltrated them. Not with satanists, but with people who would call themselves Christians, Ambitious people, who wanted Power and not Servant hood. These satan knew had not received the Holy Spirit within them and so were powerless to detect his presence and prompting. Demons were assigned to these “more powerful Christians” and with their influence churches were established which had a Hierarchy. Those of greater influence, who chose to be “in charge of”, as apposed to “subordinate to” others, were ever so slowly and without their being aware of it, moulded to carry out satan’s Plan B.

 

Plan B was to get all the real Christians together into a club, make everyone pleased to be there but hinder them from speaking to anyone outside of the church. To place them under such a list of rules they must obey and Things they must not do that they would spend all their time trying to be “Holy in God’s sight”, when in fact they were already perfectly Holy to God the moment Jesus took all their sins away.

 

No amount of doing good was going to make the Christians any more acceptable to God anyway, but satan kept this fact from them.

 

satan’s plan did not completely succeed for there were still Christians who continued to talk to others about Jesus.

 

satan had to then come up with Plan C.

 

Plan C is a mixture of 3 different methods.

 

·         Firstly kill as many of those who open their mouths, if you cannot kill them make them too busy, tired, sick, or distract them in any other way so that they will not talk.

·         Secondly increase and strengthen the hold on the church hierarchies by getting people thrown out of the various churches. Using the spirits of judgement and gossip, get everyone belonging to churches to isolate these people from the church organisations.

·         Thirdly turn the church into a club consisting of many who profess to be Christians but are not. People who aspire to the title of being a “good person” but never get to be children of the Most High God? - Using these people as examples get the people who are not in church to see what they do and so paint an incorrect picture of God because of what these supposed Christians are doing.

 

This has been his major approach since the first century AD but he has added a number of other little plans to trap and control believers. The latest is to enforce tolerance of one another and accepting of sinful practices within other believers lives and even more recently forcing the churches through Government Legislation to endorse sinful practices such as Same-Sex Marriages.

 

How should the church operate?

 

In its current form the Church cannot function according to the actual definition of what it means to be a Christian.

 

A Christian is a true believer. He is a person who acts on what he sees Christ expects of him. A Christian is one who accepts the Grace Jesus bought for us by taking our sin upon the cross. We do this when we choose to accept Him as Lord and Master of every aspect of our lives). (1 John 3 : 23)

 

The Church of The Last Days

 

Well let us look at what the Church looked like in the first century, when satan could not control it.

 

To put this in its proper context we must first look at the relationship between the believers and Jesus Christ.

 

When we accept Jesus into our hearts, we are in fact marrying Him. We do not take marriage to another human being lightly and we should not take marrying Jesus lightly either. We are the Bride of Christ, Jesus is the Bride Groom (Ephesians 5:21-27)

 

1.     We must respect and honour him.

2.     We must submit to His will for our lives.

 


There are various marriage vows used when I married my wife Vanessa. This one was common at that time: (I have edited it a little for a better understanding of the analogy):

 

I (Your Name),

Take you Jesus Christ (My Bride Groom),

To be my eternal Lord and friend,

To have and to hold (in my being)

from this day forth (No turning back and no Divorce).

Whether my life gets better or worse,

Whether I get richer or poorer,

Whether I am sick or healthy,

I choose to love and to cherish You,

Forsaking all other gods and idols,

Making You my most important priority,

And this I pledge for eternity.

I give you my will as a sign that I belong to You,

With my Heart, Mind, Body and Soul I honour You,

All that I am I give to You,

and

All that I have is Yours already,

Within the love of God, Father, Son/You and Holy Spirit,

And this is my solemn vow.

 

This really separates the Christ-followers from those who call themselves Christians. Read this carefully and understand all that you are giving up your right to.

 

There are always two sides to a marriage and in marrying Jesus it is no different. He has the following to say to you (remember, spirits are asexual, so do not think that this is about that sort of a relationship.)

 

I Jesus Christ,

Take you (Your Name),

To be my eternal subject and friend,

from this day forth (No turning back and no Divorce).

Whether you get better or worse,

Whether you get richer or poorer,

Whether you are sick or healthy,

I choose to love and to cherish you,

I will never leave you nor forsake you,

And this I pledge for eternity.

I give you my perfection and take all your sin away,

With my death I pay your death penalty,

All that I am I give to you,

and

All that I have I share with you,

Within the love of God, Father, Son/Me and Holy Spirit,

And this is my solemn vow.

 

Now if this does not blow your mind then you still have not realised how much God has that He can share with you. How much He understands and knows that you will mess up in the future. How He will never leave you nor forsake you because He has accepted you by forgiving you, and how much, by dying for you He has made it possible to make this amazing promise to you.

 

I suggest you really study what these vows mean and how precious you are to God that He would offer such a promise to you. And He does because you are special. He created you because He loves you and wants you to be with Him forever (John 14:2 & 3).

 

Do not let satan say to you that this is not meant for you. The Bible says it is meant for you because God Almighty desires this relationship with you. You are special to Him. Even if no one else in the world thinks you are worth anything. You are worth His blood to Him (John 14: 1-31).

 

You might mess up, He never will, because He is perfect and keeps all His promises.

 

I have to stop here a while because this revelation has blown me away.

 

Excuse me while I take it in. Then we will look at how this relationship with Jesus affects our relationship with our Christian brothers and sisters.

 

Thankyou for visiting this page.  brother and sisters have also popped in. 

You are most welcome to return again.
