Regarding the Modern Earthly Churches and Who the True Church Is

[skillet]

"The Lord's perfect church, for and in His name, would be all one in Christ...

No divisions, no walls...

A bride without spot from the world.



With that being said, men are far from perfect; and so their creation of churches, imperfect. So the churches remain as they are, because of man's free will and evil in the world, which is against all things in and for Christ. So then, Christ does not forsake His Bride, though she wears many dresses... None being completely white, all are dirty. He only asks that they strive to become completely clean, in preparation for His return, which is very near. They will never become completely clean before His return. In fact, He, Himself, said many will fall away in the last days, giving heed to seducing spirits.



So the members, not the earthly church, become the true bride,
Because individually we can become completely clean, in spite of ourselves,
Because of Christ's shed blood which washes us.


He calls each of us to repentance,
And knows our hearts individually... Every one.


So then, when Jesus calls His people, or Bride, to Himself,
They will be a multitude from every tribe, nation, land, church,
And many, who are members of no church of men at all...

All together become the True Church and perfect Bride, on that day...
Because Jesus overcame the world, and we accepted Him as Lord and Savior.



But since the earthly church exists, and speaks for Him in His name, they are held to a much higher standard, because of the position in which they have put themselves. So The Lord must correct and discipline those He loves, and even more so, to those who would speak for Him and represent Him. The cleansing must start at the temple first, (we, as individuals, being the true temple of God), then that which man has built calling it the temple.
Many of those, who would find Him, seek Him in the churches... What a great responsibility the churches have. They must continually strive to greater heights of servitude in Christ, and be as the wise man who listens and gives heed to correction, so he may be wiser still. It is the prideful, arrogant man who becomes the fool, because he refuses reproof and guidance... Eventually dying through starvation and sickness, because he no longer accepts the food from God, but will only eat the food he has prepared with unclean hands, which has begun to spoil.

I am who I am, Lindell... A man who had lived in great sin, pride and arrogance. I was the dog who continually returned to his own vomit. NO LONGER! I am cleansed and made new in the blood of The Lamb, as I know beyond doubt you are. I now serve The Lord, as He would have me serve Him. If you turn away from me because of my message, which is not my own, you will not fulfill the purpose that God has asked of you and the reason He sent me to you. If I do not deliver the message God has given me to deliver, it is upon my own head; but if I deliver His message, it then falls upon the heads of those to whom it is given, to obey or obey not... My hands are clean.

The Lord's message to you is this: That you continue as you have been. Read ALL the Letters from God and His Christ. Continue in study of the Bible, with even greater effort and zeal. Come into greater discernment of God's Truth. Trumpet Christ's second coming. Finally, God wants you to be His catalyst, in the very church to which you belong, in all correction, guidance and change, in preparation for His return.

This is what The Lord says to you, "Make a straight path for The Lord to follow! You have been called and are now commissioned. What do you say, My beloved servant in Christ? You must see your church being separate, with My eyes, and you one in Me, before you can return to your flock and make them also as you are with Me. Feed My sheep and prepare the Bride, which you are and also love, and have become accustomed to. Lindell, I am with you... Even to the end of this age which is upon you.

  Greetings in Jesus name,


      Excellent word from the Lord. 

       
            Jesus warned us that in the last days, that many would come in His name claiming to be Christian, and decieve many.   It is only the Lord Jesus Himself that knows who  the true virgin bride of Christ is today.   There are MANY man made congregations today, filled with people that may know ABOUT GOD,  but do they truly have a proper relationship with him, knowing God.   Too many times in my life, I have seen, in the name of Christianity, people use their belief to manipulate and control others.  I believe there is a true virgin bride out there also, but I also believe that many, if not most, have pulled away from what we understand  is man made Christianity.

           I know the word of God states we should not forsake the gathering together of believers, but who truly are they?   i simply refuse to fellowship with a group of peope I know are being fed lies and deception, with them accepting them with open arms.


           WE need not go to some far or distant country to be in the mission field the Lord has called us to.  Our mission field is our friends and Neibhors, our family and relatives who know not God.  People don't want to hear words, but want to witness our faith in our lives as we live it.   This can only be done with people that are in constant contact with you.

Continuing this line of thought.

We know the 'wheat and the tares' were to grow up together and separated at the End.   Church goers are leaving or the church is kicking them out. The church believes the wheat is staying and the tares are leaving but in reality it is the other way around. The wheat is leaving and the tares are staying.

Warning to true believers: when the LORD returns don't get caught in Jerusalem! (churches) Flee into Egypt, (get out)  NOW and pray you not be counted among the heathen.
