The CHURCH is the Body of Christ. CHRIST builds it. NOT Man.
His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms"
Ephesians 3:10
God is teaching his heavenly Host HIS wisdom through The TRUE body Of Christ. NOT through a Man ordained building. NOT through MANS Knowledge. But through the Church that JESUS is builindg. he layed himself down as the cornerstone, adn is now building apon himself.
MAN can say absolutely nothing about WHO is Gods church.
If you are AWAY from believers, yet your fruits show that you ARE a follower of Jesus Christ. Be of Good Cheer, and dont let man break your spirit. JESUS will bring who HE wants in your life. KEEP serving HIM alone.
If You are IN a Building, that is called a Church(whch is sooo unbiblical its ridiculous how it went on for so long, what with all the bible worshipers out there) But if you ARE in a building called Church, and it is FILLED with the holy spirit, adn with people that are CONSTANTLY leading you to JESUS and JESUS alone. not to an ministry(God leads you to ministries...not man, Man leads you to GOD) But if you have found a church that is doing what Jesus, wants..Then Count your self soo abundantly blessed, because They are RARE. Few and far between.
If you Are in a Church and they PRAISE each other, and Do all sorts of ACTIVITIES, and God themed things. And they have an apearence of Godliness, But are in SIN, and still gossip, and slander, and backbite, and bicker, and argue.(denying the power of God for regenration) IF they are spendign MORE time with thigns, and life, then seeking JESUS(idolatry) I would pray HEAVILY about comming ou of them. If YOU are doing those thigns REPENT becasue that is NOT what you should be doing if you ae a follower of Jesus Christ.
IF YOur Pastor is leading you To Semnars, and leading you to books, and if your elders are giving you instructional DVDS, adn if the leaders in the Church are prising what they should be doing, and put an emphasis on ANYTHING else, other than JESUS. if they arent aLL leading you to CHRIST THE LORD, then there is somthign amiss, and they may be in deep sin, if they are following Jesus in any respect.
The Church has been operating BACKWARDS for a very long time. We put the leaders at the TOP, and then have all under them. Thusly THEY are the head of the CHURCH MAN has replaced JESUS.
The CHURCH should be:
JESUS
SHEEP(Congragation)
Decons, Elders
Pastor
It should be the quote unquote "LEADERS" of the Church on the BOTTOM pushing all the reast UP to Jesus!!!!
(servants!!! not task masters and little gods!!!)
Instead we have the oposite:
JESUS
Pastor
Deacons,Elders
Sheep(congragation)
So that If you Need spiritual growth, they dont direct you to JESUS the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, No, they direct you to MAN. If you want JEsus you need to be a MEmeber of the corperate, local "Church" and be submited to an ovrseer. FIRST of all if you belong to JEsus Christ, you are allready a memebr of the body...you dont need to sign a contract or a covenant or an oath(which btw Jesus said not to do) IF you are in a Church that says you MUST be a member, or maybe if they dont say it they hint at it...otherwise you arent being used by GOD...get away from them. The value MAN higher then Christ Jesus. Secondly, an Overseer oversee's your growth in CHRIST, adn leads you to JESUS.
The "Church", for the most part, is so backwards and deceived, and opresseed, and Spiritually dead, that if there was an actually movemnt of the Holy spirit in them, they would all get up and Run away screaming becase they do not know God. They Know dance ministires, They know Seminary(which isnt in the bible btw) They know Teachigns of MEN, but if they spirit moved in MOST churches...they wold not understand it.
SEEK JESUS first. he tld you to. We should be following HIM, not following US. WE are the body, does the BOdy operate without the head? And if you arent attached TO the head, if you arent in DEEP prayer daily to find out waht the head wants...If you arent led, adn moved by the SPIRIT of GOD, then there may be somthing wrong.
It is NEEDED to fellowship. But it is NEEDED to felloship wit hthose filled wit hthe spirit, not jsut with someone who claims to be a chirstian.
Now again, if you ARE apart of A church that is operating the way it should, adn IS filled with Righteous, people growing in holiness, and if it is a Church built on constant repentance, adn contant GROWTH f the spirit, then Count your self abumdantly blessed.
If NOT, then PRAY heavily about what church, what congragation JESUS wants you in. Not YOUR OWN idea of it, but truly what HE wants. He may surprise you, and tell you that you need to come out. OR that your church is a dwellign place of Demons. ARe you ready to hear that? or would you rather just wait til the end. Never ask Jesus for anything, never acknolwedge him in ALL your ways, adn just see what he will say on the last day?
Think about it, and TRULY stop valuing opinion of MAN over opinion of GOD. ASK HIM! he WILL tell, show, guide, tell, SPEAK, and LEAD you. The CHURCH is the body. and the body is lead by the head. Jesus bless you.
