PERFECTING HOLINESS IN THE FEAR OF GOD....
PART THREE....(GOD FIRST...AND LAST.....And In Everything In-Between).
The irony of today’s Christianity is this: that many in the Body of Christ, profess what they don’t have – they make so much noise about the love of God; when in truth, it has little place in their hearts.
The Church of today is full of hypocrites, pretenders, and of those who serve God only with their lips; but their hearts are still deeply engrossed in all manners of prejudices.
In true Christianity, there are no classifications of any kind. There are no Churches meant for folks of particular races, of particular colors, of particular tribes or social classes. All those are mere semblances of the real thing.
The true Church of Christ is one Body - bound in true love : by one God, one Christ, one Spirit, one faith...and a common pursuit – a collective resolve, that God's perfect will, as it is in heaven, be replicated on earth.
And those who walk in that holy Body are called the Chosen, the Sought-out, the Redeemed. They are called Christians; because they walk Christ-like!
Are you indeed and in truth a Christian? Or, are you one of those who pursue their worldly attachments, and ambitions all in the name of Christ; while, at the time, clinging to a false hope, and to a false and satanic theology – that once you are saved you remain saved – irrespective of whatsoever?
If that be your case, you are of men and of all women most miserable.
Christian congregations that are segregated, in any form or manner, are corrupted versions of the real thing - perverted assemblies, the handiwork of desperate men and women, who; though they know the true nature of God and of His Christ; choose to follow their personal, cultural, racial, tribal and color prejudices.
And by so doing, they corrupt the testimony of Christ, and overthrow the faith of millions of Christians worldwide.
The result of age-long, desperate, relentless and unwholesome human interventions, in the affairs of heaven, is that, today, most Church congregations, are largely gatherings of men, women and children, who, principally, are motivated by many things that have no resemblance to Christ or what He stands for.
These awkward gatherings, sometimes, do display some forms of godliness; but generally, they lack the vital heavenly ingredient that brings and sustains true salvation.
The true Church of Jesus Christ is not about any nation or group of nations, whosoever and whatsoever; much less about any race, color or culture or language.
The true Church of Jesus Christ is founded, purely, on the love of God – His love for all His creation – for all peoples and cultures and colors and races and languages, effectually bound together by the Blood of His Christ.
Apostle Paul, writing to the Galatians Church, through the Holy Ghost, in Galatians 4: 26-28; declared as follows,
“For ye are all children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond or free, there is neither male or female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus”.
Search yourselves whether you still be in the faith!

The Everlasting Gospel: GOD'S WORD CANNOT BE CAGED!

GOD'S WORD CANNOT BE CAGED!
PART TWO: (GOD FIRST AND LAST....And in everything In-between)
The word of God demands that we love Him; with all our hearts, and with all our soul, and with all our mind, and with all our strength – indeed, with all of ourselves...and to love our neighbors even as we love ourselves.
That is God's kind of love, which He shed abroad in our hearts when we met Him, when we chose Him above whosoever and above whatsoever.
That is the heavenly standard of love, the love that binds Christians together in Christ – the love that passes all understanding.
When we consciously, and persistently, walk in God's kind of love, we unconsciously manifest His true righteousness, we carry the savor of Christ from place to place – walking in the perfect will of God in His Christ.
By godly standards, the closest neighbor to a Christian is a fellow Christian - irrespective of race, tribe, color, language, tribe, etc.
In true Christianity, that is, the Christianity that Jesus Christ purchased with His life blood, every other form of human relationship is inferior, and submits to our love for God and for His Christ - which love translates, unconsciously, unto unfeigned love for fellow Christians.
In the absence of true love, for God and for His Christ, translating into true love for fellow believers, Christianity becomes a mere formality, something that folks practice laboriously – a form of godliness; but lacking in all heavenly content.
Sadly, that is the larger picture of today's Christianity – and this is worldwide.
Christ did not leave us without examples, of what true love, His Father's love, is all about. In the days of His flesh, when confronted with a choice, between His earthly family and His followers, He bluntly chose the latter!
We cannot be more righteous than Christ, for God’s sake! If we must manifest Christ on earth, we must walk even as He Himself walks – for as He is so we must be in this life, unless we are mere reprobates!
Whosoever would love family, race, color, tribe, nation, culture, or indeed, any other form of human relationships, more than Christ, is not worthy to be called His follower! If you doubt this, ask Christ Himself.
Search yourselves this day: do you truly love God? Do you love Christ as you profess day by day – do you love fellow Christians as you love yourself?
Put in the right perspective: do you love fellow Christians more than you love your race, your tribe - more than you love your very nation?
True Christianity prides itself and towers above all patriotic and family instincts and will always do. Nations will come and go, even family – but our bond in Christ endures forever.

THIS CHURCH CANNOT STAND AS PRESENTLY CONSTITUTED.
SEEK GOD FIRST...AND LAST.
...and in everything in-between.
One of the foremost words of the holy Scriptures is this: “But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you”. See Matthew 6:33.
Without any shadow of doubt, God is the Creator of all things under the universe; and all things consist in Him.
In Him, and in Him alone, whatsoever that has breath, lives, walks and has its being!
Unarguably, therefore, God is the Father of the spirit of all living. Yet, it has pleased Him to further establish a special family on earth – a family that consists in whosoever unconditionally yields to His everlasting authority and commandments, which authority and commandments are embodied and revealed in His Christ.
Thus, we can boldly and affirmatively speak of the family of God on earth - a heavenly family on earth, embodied in Christ and in His true Church, which exclusively represents that glorious family on earth.
This is the picture of true Christianity, and in its purest form, consisting in “one body, and one Spirit...one Lord, one faith, one baptism: one God and Father of all, Who is above all, through all and in us all” (Ephesians 3: 4-6, paraphrased). Hallelujah!
Understand, therefore, that true Christianity; that is, that which is truly of Christ, transcends family, culture, race, color, patriotism, language and whatsoever be the natural and fleshly ties that bind the living together.
True Christianity is principally a spiritual family, members of which are essentially spiritual beings; whom, though they live in the flesh, consciously walk in the same Spirit that binds them together – the Holy Spirit.
And because true Christians walk in the spirit, they invariably live above those natural and fleshly ties that bind humanity. And in so doing, they, the true Christians, consistently manifest the savor of the same Christ.
But, wherever the aforementioned fleshly and natural values, clash with the true Christian values, the end-product is a flawed image of Christ, an image that cannot stand the test of true Christianity.
Sadly, that is the domineering picture of today's Church.

PROCLAIMING THE TRUTH OF THE WORD OF GOD IN PERILOUS TIMES.
“MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD”.
Those were the exact words of our Lord Jesus Christ – the words upon which His true Church is built.
In John, Chapter 18, reading from verse 33, Our Lord affirmed that everlasting TRUTH when He was challenged by Pilate - to prove that He was truly the King of the Jews!
In answering Pilate, our Lord left no one in doubt, concerning Who He is and what He represents – The King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the second Adam, sent into the world to reconcile His Father's entire creation unto the Father.
And so must it be with whosoever professes the same Christ, whosoever.
True Christianity has little, or nothing in most cases, to do with the affairs of this life. Those who associate Christianity with worldly affairs will always fall short of the glory of He Who saved us with His life blood.
The pitiable story of the Church today is firmly founded on the Church entangling itself with the affairs of this life – on a Church deeply smeared by the decaying values of a disappearing world.
The glory of this world passes away. That is the word of God and nobody can alter it. Life here on earth is a flower that blossoms; but for a time, and then withers into nothingness.
But the word of God abides forever – that same word upon which a Church must stand if it must fulfill its purpose on earth.
The word of God expressly affirms, that only in the Lord shall one find true peace – the peace that passes all understanding – the peace that thrives even when the world is in great turmoil.
But the Church of today has sold that peace – in pursuit of many things that do not matter – in pursuit of worldly values, in pursuit of shadows.
And that is one of the reasons Everlasting Father decided to move, even at such a time as this – to move to restore ALL the values for which He sacrificed His only Begotten Son.
But the greatest irony of our time is this: that the same Church, that Everlasting Father is now vehemently and relentlessly determined to deliver, from her present decays, is fervently praying against the same move of God – without even realizing it!
Many in the Church, and this is worldwide, have gathered, in hurriedly founded unity, and in unprecedented intercession, to stop what it understands as satanic moves; when, in truth, Everlasting Father is the One moving.
And the Church found itself in this great dilemma, striving against her Maker and against heaven; because her trusted Prophets, who are supposed to properly direct the Church, are rather misdirecting the Church; through false; slanted, biased, prejudiced, personalized and politically motivated prophecies.
And eternal consequences shall follow.
These are strange times indeed! These are times of great and unprecedented blessings, as well as times of a great falling away. And it all depends on YOU.
Whosoever names the name of the Lord, at such a times as this, has an eternal decision to make - either to follow and abide strictly by the leadings of Holy Ghost, or to follow the leadings of misguided prophets and Church leaders.
It is entirely up to YOU.
Be assured, that Everlasting Father is on top of all we see and hear today. And He will use all these things to perfect His plans and purpose concerning us, His faithfuls, and concerning His entire creation.
And nothing and nobody can stop Him.

The Everlasting Gospel: GOD IS THE GOD OF VENGEANCE....BUT! One of the gre...: GOD IS THE GOD OF VENGEANCE....BUT! One of the greatest mistakes the world has made, since creation, is to always seek to avenge itself....
GOD DOES WHATSOEVER PLEASES HIM.
GOD IS THE GOD OF VENGEANCE....BUT!
One of the greatest mistakes the world has made, since creation, is to always seek to avenge itself. Law and order describes this as one taking laws into his or her own hands.
Also, one of the greatest mistakes the Church has made, over the years, is to ask God to avenge her.
The ultimate truth is this: vengeance belongs to God and to Him only.
God is the Author of justice, and He will forever secure justice to them that look up and depend on Him to do so.
It is the exclusive power of God to decide to avenge or not to avenge...and no spirit or flesh has any part in this matter.
God knows all things. And nothing takes Him unawares, absolutely nothing. He is ahead of all things, and nobody or spirit, including satan himself, can do anything that He God would not want to happen.
God created everything and for His own pleasure, and He alone must determine what gives Him pleasure and what displeases Him.
When we take vengeance, God leaves us to it - to finish whatever we have started. And evil can never resolve evil, and has never.
When also we ask God to avenge us, we are telling Him that He has failed in His duties, that He has gone to sleep. And if He ever answers to that type of prayer, He does so under His permissive will.
And the permissive will of God will always lead to ungodly consequences.
For instance, the Church, over the centuries, operated largely on God's permissive will. And that accounts for the present uncertain state of the Church worldwide - which uncertain state is now receiving massive attention from Everlasting Father, the Creator of all things.
We must learn to leave God with His exclusive responsibility and decision, to avenge or not to avenge. That is His perfect will.
The highest form of prayer is always this: Father, let thy will be done. It is the prayer of them that understand the operations of God's ultimate power and how to draw from it to the uttermost. It is a prayer that removes the living from the contest of the spirits - It is a prayer that paralysis all satanic and negative human intrusion into the affairs of men.
When God avenges, when God decides that enough is enough, nothing and nobody can stand before Him and His will...not even the fervent prayers of the very elect.When God avenges, He settles that matter once and for all times, leaving no room for additions and for subtractions.
Yet, to wait upon God, to insist that He must have His way, is the most onerous task for the living, it is a decision that stretches the patience of even the very elect to the very limits.
Yet, in all cases, it a decision we must all make...if we must see a perfect end to all things that offend.
The present uprising worldwide, concerning racism, was known to God even before it started. And He has stirred Himself to do something - to make a perfect end of all forms of oppression worldwide.
.
But then, God will only perfect His will concerning this matter, if, and only if, all involved, refuse to take vengeance, refuse to seek for vengeance - if they refuse to take laws into their very hands - if they continue to look up to, and depend on Him, to have His way, and to have it absolutely.

This is His prefect will.
