i am not seeing any church making a stand sadly.  but i am in a small town so only the big churches are here allcontrolled by their denominational heads

 

Time for non denomiantion churches to spread.

 

Time for folks to also start meeting and pulling those out of wrong churches to meet together .    Some will hear , most will reject .

We also need many praying .  everyone has their part .    We need round the clock prayer groups .  We need to make our final stand now .

Cause once it enters  < IT moves like nothing I have seen before .    It can turn a group quite quickly in its early stages .

IF we don't do all to put it out in the early stages , IT WILL SUCK even this site up .

Be on guard we will have men and women come here too ,   as we already have , and they will more and more focus on unity , on trying to come together

BUT NOT on correction and true edification .    LOOK out for phrases like bridge builders , finding common ground ,  beating swords into plowshares

Daniel plan ,  rick warren purpose driven life ,  and those who try and allure us through certain prayer and meditations .   Avoid contemplative prayer ,

avoid the talks about praying with rosary beads or chanting , or EMPYTING YOUR MIND .  BEWARE IT .     Its just a spirit at work to open a doorway IN .

the goats have taken over the church unfortunately. 

 

When we lost the Apostles , Prophets , Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers

 

When Elders were replaced as head of the local church by Pastors

 

When PAstors have to goto Theological school before being called a Pastor.

I got a friend who went to one of their schools to become a preacher .     NO GOOD .    ITs all infected now .

All we need is that BIBLE to learn and grow .    These theological schools have blended truth with carnal wisdom and its led to a total collapse

Its been so bad for years ,  that now most folks have no idea what the church has lost ,  let alone that they are still lost .

An all out return to the original pattern in that bible , IS IN DIRE need .

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He whofollows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

Proverbs 4:19

The way of the wicked is like darkness;
They do not know what makes them stumble.

Once again I find I disagree with all the lamenting, for I see and am part of groups of individuals of vast age spread that  are born again saints in Christ Jesus. There is growth in numbers, growth in knowledge, growth in spirit, and determination to share the gospel of Jesus by going into all the world with the word of God, and by the sharing  of a cool cup of water.

 I am now 75, have been saved some 40 years, have been led by the Holy Spirit to participate with those called  to turning about to Jesus at five different churches over time. To each move I have wondered why, and at each God has shown me how He wants me to get plugged in and go to work within the structure that is the local body of Christ Jesus.  what I see and experience is the work of the Holy Spirit gathering many to  our Lord Jesus, and the gathered together to help  one another,  to adopt orphans,  and to secure the well being of widows, giving thanks to God for the privilege and duty.

I know what you are stating but these are Bible times. Today is Bible time. Tomorrow if there be tomorrow is Bible time. There are home churches there are vast auditoriums of people and there are individuals in each of them  that are called by the Holy Spirit to their own individual repentance from their own sin against God to salvation by Christ. And many do all that they do as well as they might to the Glory of God. 

There is no good excuse if one is not  part of a body of Christ Jesus somewhere, even if it is by internet or plain old phone line. Everyone can participate, everyone can be assigned a station from which to serve god  for His Glory alone. No one should be found sitting around lamenting.

Jeremiah 12 English Standard Version (ESV)

Jeremiah's Complaint

 

Righteous are you, O Lord,
    when I complain to you;
    yet I would plead my case before you.
Why does the way of the wicked prosper?
    Why do all who are treacherous thrive?
  You plant them, and they take root;
    they grow and produce fruit;
you are near in their mouth
    and far from their heart.
  But you, O Lord, know me;
    you see me, and test my heart toward you.
Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter,
    and set them apart for the day of slaughter.
  How long will the land mourn
    and the grass of every field wither?
For the evil of those who dwell in it
    the beasts and the birds are swept away,
    because they said, “He will not see our latter end.”

The Lord Answers Jeremiah

  “If you have raced with men on foot, and they have wearied you,
    how will you compete with horses?
And if in a safe land you are so trusting,
    what will you do in the thicket of the Jordan?
  For even your brothers and the house of your father,
    even they have dealt treacherously with you;
    they are in full cry after you;
do not believe them,
    though they speak friendly words to you.”

  “I have forsaken my house;
    I have abandoned my heritage;
I have given the beloved of my soul
    into the hands of her enemies.
  My heritage has become to me
    like a lion in the forest;
she has lifted up her voice against me;
    therefore I hate her.
  Is my heritage to me like a hyena's lair?
    Are the birds of prey against her all around?
Go, assemble all the wild beasts;
    bring them to devour.
   Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard;
    they have trampled down my portion;
they have made my pleasant portion
    a desolate wilderness.
   They have made it a desolation;
    desolate, it mourns to me.
The whole land is made desolate,
    but no man lays it to heart.
   Upon all the bare heights in the desert
    destroyers have come,
for the sword of the Lord devours
    from one end of the land to the other;
    no flesh has peace.
   They have sown wheat and have reaped thorns;
    they have tired themselves out but profit nothing.
They shall be ashamed of their harvests
    because of the fierce anger of the Lord.”

  Thus says the Lord concerning all my evil neighbors who touch the heritage that I have given my people Israel to inherit: “Behold, I will pluck them up from their land, and I will pluck up the house of Judah from among them.  And after I have plucked them up, I will again have compassion on them, and I will bring them again each to his heritage and each to his land.  And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, ‘As the Lord lives,’ even as they taught my people to swear by Baal, then they shall be built up in the midst of my people.  But if any nation will not listen, then I will utterly pluck it up and destroy it, declares the Lord.”
