I have no doubt that the Spirit of God in Christ Jesus led me to reading this along with the message given here. PLEASE, PLEASE, read this Chapter everyone in its entirety! Pray that the Lord Jesus Christ Himself will speak DIRECTLY by His Spirit to you. Where do you think the “Sheep” will be separated from the “Goats” in Matthew, Chapter 25: 31-46 if NOT WITHIN THE VERY SYSTEM THAT CALLS ITSELF CHRISTIAN??? I am being reduced to “Nothing” and “Nobody” but Jesus Christ alone as my Lord. How about you?

Very well said Sherry.

The Holy Spirit has led me to study this in-depth and to speak. I am reading “The 69th Generation: A Biblical Commentary on Daniel 9 and the Generation of Christ’s Return” and when studying the Aramaic and KJV Bible, the study of the 7th church generation: the Laodiceans jumped forth. Jesus wants to vomit the church people out of His mouth. Whoa, wakeup call! We are in the end times and God wants us to know this timeline. We cannot grow and work inside the church system until we are strong as individuals. Then, at some point or in some manner, we can present the work as God wants us to. We study with the Holy Spirit at home and I felt so much guilt for this after leaving church. However, it is so intimate and so wonderful and I can grow. I am no longer held back by church rules. Those were not God’s rules – they were carnal man’s rules. Chip, you have touched on something so vital and you know the Holy Spirit leads you every day. You do understand the problems in the church today. There is a balance between finger-pointer holier-than-thou types and come let us reason together. Finger-pointer ranting at people never does anything good and so many think that is their work. I don’t see any love in that. It isn’t educational, either. It just looks crazy. Giving a pamphlet or a book or sitting down and talking after praying for a person is so helpful. There is a way to reach people and you are so good at doing it. Thank you for all of your work! God bless you!

Yes I have a saying and keep it on my bedroom wall. I saw a copy in a thrift store and asked the sales lady may I have a copy and she said I could. It reads: “We never really know that Jesus Christ is all we need till Jesus Christ is all we have.” This has been years ago and I still like to look at it to this day!
Your post today (Sunday) 10/08/2017 made me think of this vary saying how important it is to have Christ in ones life!

This is so true! I’ve been reading your books and your blog for at least a decade now. I point the curious, those with eyes to see and ears to hear, to your work and just lately it seems something is finally opening up for this truth to be not just spoken but actually received. I’m a sower not a harvester. I don’t have a mandate to teach, like you do Chip. So I write in philosophical generalities usually, hoping someone will see through to the seed but I had to speak out on this topic and the comments, which I usually don’t get, gave me hope that there is some kind of awakening. Don’t stop.

I am one of those that came to your sight initially at a time in my life where I was questioning everything I believed.
It was your tone that I recognized in you, you had found something that a that stage I had not found.
As he was throwing me out of the church system, but as yet did not know he was, I just thought I was looking for something better, closer to the truth but was unable to find it.
In the beginning I read very little of the articles about the church system (I know that is hard).
I read all the Christ Centred ones, but at the same time he was working in me showing me his heart, what the church system had become.
Later As he began working in me, along side it was your articles, as I began to read, it was like he showed me then would confirm it again through you.
God has his ways of reaching & showing us, there is so little truth out there, to read the scriptures through Christ’s Spirit I have found is soooooo far from tradition,we do not understand that we are following nothing more than tradition ( hence many do leave the system & take the system with them & are just as carnal outside as inside) leaving really is just the beginning.

All who take this journey & get a glimpse of the preeminence of Christ will never be the same, the further Away from the system the clearer it becomes, I to need no convincing.

What I find so incredible in all of this is God will not fail Christ will not fail, yet Churchianity has made Christ out to be the greatest failure in history.

I could never thank you enough, as I have been mute for a while now and only just begun to have words to begin expressing what The Lord has shown me , do I comprehend what it has cost you,
As you shared some of the responses to this message with us you really are driven by Love , a love that is not humanly possible, & can only come from Him. A glimpse into the heart of our God. This love is of his is incredible.

A great full sister

Love it
One paddle stroke at a time.
Go Girl, far more uplifting I am sure.

I don’t believe this is on a single track – e.g. those in church cant have it only those out of church will get it. I personally believe that to have the real thing rather than even a genuine revelation of these things alone will take a breakthrough of the presence of God first – and God seems to turn up in some very unlikely places not just in completely “religion free” zones.
