Hello People of God, it has been a while. Since my last post God has blessed me to retire and I am really enjoying it .
I am excited to fulfill my purpose for the Kingdom of God and have plenty of time without any comitments that pull me away.
I will be updating "Pastor's Desk" weekly and look for some good word to build up believers in their relationship with the Father.
Love you all and be blessed
THE CHURCH
Ephesians 1:22-23 (KJV)
22 And (Jesus) hath put all things under his feet, and gave him (Jesus) to be the head over all things to the church ( the believer),
23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
Acts 20:28 (KJV)
28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
The organization church has seem to have taken place of the true church, the Body of Christ. The event of gathering on Sunday morning and a hour and a half equates to having a relationship with the Father. I have herd it called " I'm going to go and give God His praise".
I am not saying we should not assemble ourselves together, but that the emphasis should be focused on your everyday life.
God is God in everything that you do and His true power is manifested in your everyday lives. On the job, at school, in your marriages, in your neighborhood, in your health, in your decision making, in your finances, in your relationships, in literally every area of your lives..
The praise God is looking for is the actions of our everyday life. I don't know about you, but I don't want my wife to be partially committed to our marriage a couple of hours a week.
Jo Ann is my wife even when we are not together, when she is sleep, all of the time she is my wife and I am her husband. We do not only think about each other just when we are together, but at all time Jo Ann present in my mind. I consider her in everything that I do.
This is how it is with Father God, He is ever present and desires to have fellowship with us all the time. This is why Jesus came that we may have fellowship un-interrupted with the Father.
The concept of the Sunday morning experience does not replace the true daily relationship as sons and daughters.
Jesus prayed, Father make them one as we are one.
The purpose of the organizational church is to empower you as the "true church" of God. To reveal to you truth and light of the life in Jesus Christ as a believer. To encourage you and enhance your relationship.
Remember you are the the church that Jesus gave His life for and the power of God abides in you.
Just want to encourage you to know who you are in Christ
