WHAT WE NEED TO HAVE REVEALED IN OUR SPIRITS IS THAT HE CELEBRATES US AND DOESN’T JUST TOLERATE US, HE IS PREPARING A BRIDE NOT SLAVES OF FEAR. THE TRUE DECIEVER IS SATAN HIMSELF, WHILE MANY IN THE CHURCH SYSTEM ARE FEAR BOUND, TRUST ME THERE IS A GRACE MESSAGE IN NZ THAT IS PREPARING A BRDIE, PREPARING AN END TIME ARMY AND SETTING CAPTIVES FREE. LOVE NEVER FAILS.

The six foundational doctrines of Hebrews come into play as two are reflected here repentance and judgment Might I ask you to do an article on Jude ? I am looking for input you really did an outstanding job of defining a prophet and exemplary job of expanding here on the relationship God desires as Paul and Jesus define it as JESUS SAID THIS IS LIFE ETERNAL THAT THEY MAY KNOW THE ONE TRUE GOD John 17:3 ! PAUL SAID Philippians 3:10-11

It seems however Jesus said if you have seen me you have seen the Father and although many acknowledge Gods love well many more refuse to acknowledge many of His other attributes.

I love my alone time with the Lord, praying for hours seeking nothing but His face but how when I spend time with Him I desire to be with my brothers and sisters in Christ! It’s so much easier to be alone and not have to be involved in difficult relationships but those relationships often are God helping us to grow and love one another with an agape love that can only come from Him.

How I love the church in all different shapes and sizes. Yes I hate the religious system but the church is His people, His bride. I love to with them, my goal is not to be with 2 or 3 but be a part of a gathering of believers an assembly where He is exalted!

So many people here I don’t want to be in a building, I don’t like this or that. I don’t care where we are in starbucks, a living room a huge church building HE is what matters! Yes the religious system stinks but there are true assemblies that gather in buildings. Maybe a small group that got too large for the living room. LOL

It’s been well over a decade since my husband and I had visited many area congregations, During the 1990s we ‘warmed the pews’ in at least 20 places—first looking for a ‘church family’ and then as members of a music group.
We came to know many believers, both the leaders and their followers.

I now work at a retail job where I come into contact with several of those people, and am often asked where I go to church.
I just tell them “no place at the moment,” and thank them for the invitation they extend—-might have explained more if I’d not been at work, or if I felt the urging.

There have been the more zealous, though, who don’t let it go at that…at work, and when we come into contact at other places.
At first, I don’t know why they are insistent….whether they are motivated by concern, or have possibly heard from another about our years of non-attendance, or maybe they want to ‘prove’ me wrong, or just plain nosiness.

I’ve been told about the need to be under the ‘mantle’ of a minister lest I be lead astray or backslide, and told about the importance of paying a tithe so that God won’t close up the windows of heaven to me. And, of course, the “fail not to assemble” is often a popular statement.

I don’t know why, but I have not felt the urging to explain that I need only the ‘mantle’ of Christ….that the Lord has given me faith, which has increased as I grew to know Him and His plan for His creation, and has caused me to know that I can trust God totally, so that a focus on faith in paying a tithe is unnecessary.

The one thing I do feel urged to ask them is,
“What can separate me from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus, my Lord?”

The basis of their zeal, and extent of their knowledge of spiritual truth, can be seen by their answer.

Amen and Amen – Relationship and Communication and you Rest – Rest– Rest— Rest

Dan – its not a question of comfort as Jesus is my only Comforter? I wish this could be taken in the Spirit its written in and that the Spirit of Love – I was just sharing my thoughts.
Dan – Please read Matthew 24; 30-30 1 Thess 4:15-18 1 Corn:15;50-55 and Rev 1 :7 .
The only Rapture (I know this word is not used in the bible) that I believe and eagerly awaits is when Jesus comes in the clouds to get His children, It does not matter if its if its pre, post, middle, or how-so-ever-man wants to label this. I truly believe the only living Book (the bible) and its contents is all that matters to me….

Thank You

Have a GREAT day

When does the body of Christ learn to sit and wait on the Holy Spirit and see what God wants to do? On the Day of Pentecost, that is what they did and many were saved and they did not have to join and be a member because they became members of the body of Christ by belief upon seeing the Spirit being manifested. The ‘church’ has tried to box Him in on their time table and schedule. Just like you can’t box Him in, He lives in me, you cannot box me in. When does the church start teaching people about having a one-to-one relationship with God? When does the church start manifesting the power of God and people are raised from the dead, lame will walk and deaf will hear, etc? When do we start telling people they can hear God for themselves? The Word also says don’t take on another man’s tradition and a lot of what has been going on is tradition. Man’s tradition that he learned from someone else, just like the Sadducees and Pharisees.

When He pulled me out of the traditional church, it was hard because that was all I knew. The first Sunday I was half dressed and told Him what I was use to doing (getting up on Sundays and going to ‘church.’) and what did He want me to do. The Holy Spirit said, “Stay home with me.”(relationship and communion). He just wanted to spend time with me. The next Sunday, the same thing happened and I said and asked the same thing. He said, “You are tired. Go lie down and rest.” (Learning to trust and rest in Him.”). Guess what? I’m not going to hell and guess what? There are going to trials, tribulations and persecutions but not because I did not go the ‘church.’ I’ve learned to trust, obey and stand on His word and watch Him fight my battles and bring me through the storms.
