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.

The Everlasting Gospel: PROCLAIMING THE TRUTH OF THE WORD OF GOD IN PERILO...

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.
