My neighbor and brother grows the best corn around; it cooks up so sweet and full. My other neighbor brother has the best chicken coop I have even seen. The eggs are always big and the chicken meat always tender and fresh. My other neighbor brother grows the biggest tomatoes in the region. Now I must confess, I grow the best potatoes of anyone! There is a sister who takes in unwanted dogs; I'll bet she has over thirty of those dear animals, and we all look forward to stopping over to help her out! Other brothers and sisters in the area, all have their own specialty foods and services, and we all share together, as there is need. When it is time to take the corn, we all get together, and labor as one; as a team, and may I say, we have the best of times; in fellowship; in brotherhood. Occasionally someone has a song that comes upon their hearts, usually a praise song, and we all soon chime in, and sing unto the Lord together, within Gods creation, as we labor. Those in the nearby homes will hear us, and they come running into the fields, just to sing along. Of course, we all get a small share of the corn to take home to our own families, but that is not why we are there; that is not our motive for this fellowship. After all, we are brothers; no, not genetic brothers, we are Spiritual brothers, and we Love one another, and so we just enjoy the fellowship of believers. I look forward to the time when my potatoes are ready for harvest, because the whole gang comes over to my garden, and pitches in, and it is the best of times! In fact, the harvest times are just not enough; they only happen now and then. And so, we all get together, along with our families, most every weekend, so that we can fellowship, and sing together about the Love of our Savior; the Lord Jesus Christ; our Master Yahshua as His own disciples called Him! We love to share what God has blessed each of us, with each other, but we Fellowhip out of Love, not for a reward; a share!
We all long to see one another. Our time together on the Sabbath, is a time for us to cease from our labors; to give our backs and our hands, a break from the toils of our labor. But we don’t mind; we love the work, and we enjoy the fruits of all our labors, but, the body gets tired, and so we obey the Lord and purpose our rest. It also gives us the opportunity to sing as a Fellowship; oh how precious are the praises of those who Love Him! In between our songs, many of the elder brothers will share a scripture, as the Spirit moves to do so; perhaps a word of wisdom that the Holy Spirit has placed on their hearts. No one is restricted from sharing what is in their hearts; it is not a solo communication; we are, after all, a family. (We study Scripture, verse by verse, at home, or in a mid-week home bible study). Additionally, our Sabbath time brings us all together; we get to meet new people; see new babies; and most importantly, we get to see how our brothers and sisters are getting along at home; it is a time to network and to organize events, especially when someone is sick or if there is some other unusual need that arises. We can pray together for them, and also, organize times and whatever each will contribute, to help our brethren in need. And, at the end of our Sabbath day, we can all eat our evening meal together, as a group Fellowship. It is a treat to consume recipes that others specialize in and have mastered so well, and also to try something new! We do not charge any fee to come; in fact, there is never monies exchanged by anyone, during this sacred day that we give (of our hearts) only to the Lord! Who are we? We are the Body of Christ; the Disciples of Yahshua; the Fellowship of Messiah; those who simply Love and adore our Lord Jesus Christ, and thus, live simply so that the world does not distract us from Him, or from one another!

Though Jesus teaches us clearly, that it is the will of God that no one perish eternally (John 3), Jesus reminds us that, in fact, the masses will perish (The Broadway: Matthew 7). Only a fractional percentage of all humanity will be written into the Book of Life. No Indwelled person is comfortable with this reality; this math, but we must accept it as truth, nonetheless. As for me, as one Indwelled person living in the end times, (and within one of the most Godless, corrupt cultures to ever grace the face of Earth); finding other Indwelled humans, is both difficult and complex. The sheer numbers of humans on Earth, coupled with the extremely small numbers of the Elect currently alive on Earth, adding again, the culture I live in (USA); the odds are not good. And then there are the brand-names; the denominational walls that seem to find reasonable excuses to avoid the rest of the Body of Christ. Add yet again, the fact that Satan is (still) using the religions to snatch seeds from the hearers, replacing the Indwelling with the "sloppy agape" commonly experienced as profession-salvation. In other words, the religions teach one side of the Bible; the side where Jesus is Love incarnate, sacrificed so that we sin-soaked mortals can be delivered and Saved. The part attenuated, is how that Indwelling will lead to transformational epochs in ones corporeal course; that the Indwelling will drive us ever farther away from earthly things; earthy desires and pursuits. Instead, the doctrines are either outright materialistic (the Santa-god pathology and doctrines), or, quite subtle in their attenuations. That attenuation is this; that God Loves you, and because of this Love, all you have to do is confess that Jesus is Lord, pray, go to/support church, study the Bible, and then somehow, you are Saved (religious osmosis). Now, I'm a simple person; peculiar; I am not like the multitudes; what Jesus referred to as "the world". I believe lifestyle to be the fruit of Salvation, not ones devotion to a church-business and its prescriptions. Church becomes a place for the Godless-religious to go hide from the realities of true conversion; the cost that they do not count. Because I say this, the Godless-religious (who's god IS religion) must see me as an attacker of their god (indeed!); that I must be anti-church! This is necessary for them to justify their Godlessness while within church walls. But Jesus made it clear in Mathew Seven, that there will be many who will profess His name in all things, and yet, never know Him; never gnosis Him; never be Indwelled by the Holy Spirit: God: No personal relationship ever began, only a self-belief fortified by the works of religion! I go to church; I'm even a part of a sect, but that sect does not define my faith, for I know that the Body of Christ is not isolated to one brand, but rather, is a compilation of individuals globally, who are the Elect of God; chosen and separated by/for God. What the business of religion has become, is a place for the Godless-religious to flourish within, until the Day of Judgment as described by Jesus in Matthew Seven!

This "assurance of salvation" comes from the pulpit, not from the Indwelling. Consequently, people still live in the world; they are still party to the things of this world; they purchase the world's entertainment; struggle with emotion-centric issues: compulsions, relational abandonment, homosexuality, sexual deviances, materialism and its debt, and of course, assurance! They quote the Godless; follow the lifestyles of the Godless; on and on the list can go. The church-businesses actually profit from this now-spiritual dependency from its newly acquired Godless-religious (proselytes). But this has been Satan's plan since day-one of his countdown to destruction: get them addicted/dependent, and then lead them over the cliff (the proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing)! This is why Jesus gave so many (parable) warnings about it, and the Apostles reiterated concerning it. If all church-goers were Saved, then they would all be Spirit-centric, not emotion-centric and lead and controlled by the corporeal. They would be living much like the church Fellowships defined in the book of Acts. They would be free; they would be debt-free; they would be at peace, living very contently on this earth, with no trace of social or economic hierarchy. Instead, the religion-businesses have become entertainers for the bored, hospitals for the economically wounded; psychologists for the emotionally immature, and all the problems (relationally) stemming from that. But for the Indwelled, we live simple upon Earth; we have no consumer debt; no materialistic goals; no emotional problems that stem from carnal immaturity. We of the Indwelling live a Spirit-centric life; we see all of Gods creation as sacred, while the Godless-religious see certain "places" as sacred (Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Mecca, etc). The Godless-religious believe that God inhabits a church building or some section of land. They are oblivious to the fact that God created everything everywhere; there is not a square millimeter of the entire universe, that is not Gods, and God does not place any more or less value on any of it (only Humans do this). The fruit of the Spirit is Love; few, however, understand the Love of God; Spiritual Love; the Godless know only the word love as it is attached to one emotion or another. Spiritual Love (Gods Love) is not emotion-centric; what a person feels emotionally has zero to do with Love. Love is what we become via the Indwelling (the Holy Spirit being one person in the triune Godhead); God IS Love, and those of the Indwelling BECOME that Love. That Love results only in actions, and inactions; it is a verb! In essence, we become Love, and from that reality, we Love (everyone the same) as God Loves everyone the same, because the Indwelling Spirit IS God. This is a mystery to those without the Indwelling; those who may go to church and understand the Bible from an academic perspective. This is exactly why churches become ego platforms for "Bible Teachers" competing with (keeping up with) the Pastor Joneses for bigger churches; why they want their Ministry to center on study rather than on Fellowship: For the Godless-religious, ego, entertainment and education is what the church provides. We worship God in all we do; it is not just about singing or reading; it is the sum and substance of our very life: We worship with our time and resources. With the Indwelling (Holy Spirit), we are perfected; transformed Metamorphic; from mere bipedal hominids with complex brains/emotions, into glorious Spirit-centric beings, who are perfected.

You will have to do your own New Testament word-study on the word "perfect" (include perfected, perfection, etc.)! The perfect church is free; not only is it free to attend, but more so, free of the trappings of this world; no competition paradigms, no keeping up with the culture; free of superficiality and plastic people fitted in polyester raiment. The bottom line is this: In this life, there are givers and there are takers; you figure it out! The love of money is the root of all evil; the yoke of bondage, the tool/weapon of Satan to manipulate the masses. Satan has nothing Spiritual or eternal to offer us; to manipulate us with, therefore, Satan is called the Prince of this world, because this is all he has! Humans are also in this world, but when we are no part of it, Satan cannot control us, manipulate us, and win us unto him. But those who see this world and want it; Satan owns them, be it church-goers or not! The Shepherd/Pastor does not leave the flock; does not abandon them, and would even die to prevent it; he does not lock the doors after business hours and turn on the phone's recorder. The Indwelled Pastor/Shepherd guides the flock, protects the flock, bonds with the flock, but most importantly, keeps them all together until Jesus' Advent. The hireling is only there, playing a role for the paycheck; the hireling flees when the threat of loss comes to him! The hireling feels no real or profound loss when people come and go in his church fellowship, because it's just a business. And all businesses hope that you will come in, give up your money, and leave if you are not buying more! but please, do come back again and give up more; thanks for your patronage! The church-business is just that, a business, and not a family that the Shepherd would die for. The business of religion is fully carnal; worldly; materialistic! The perfect church is set free of this world, but the Godless church-businesses actually promote Capitalism, materialism, careerism and even riches. A career is an open statement unto God and the world, and it is this: What do I get out of this life? Careerism is a modern creation; established even before the Godless Industrialists trashed Gods Planet with their man-made pollutions (both mental & physical). Satan drove humanity into the Laodicean Age (which began at the IR) as a course of prophecy; that is, it must and will happen. The bulk of the human race, in these end-times, are lost, as the Bible teaches. All church-businesses are cults: Cults are isolationists; they do not yoke with the rest of the Body of Christ, for they see themselves as the Way! They isolate their proselytes by many manipulating forms (Heavens Gate and Jim Jones' Pentecostal cults are but two examples): our Bible version is the only right one; our theology is the one; our day of worship or even our Pastor, is the one and only. The cult mentality is Denominationalism at its core; while those of the Indwelling (the truly Saved) devotionally seek out others of the Body, the Godless-religious use "their church" just like they use materialism generally: to be better than; to be elite; to be special. They have egos with big holes in it; they need to be supplemented by the culture around them; they need to be praised by the Godless world! They seek out PMA dribble to fill their sagging egos and cheap encouragements to help them thru the inequities of life. But most people's problems center on the fact that they live Godless lives to begin with. The churches do not teach them the millstone necklace, eye-plucking truth; they breast-feed them so they get fat and remain ignorant: and spiritually lost. But hey, they keep coming back for refills, and thus they in turn, feed the tithe till. This is how Satan steals Spiritual seed; to make people believe they're going to Heaven via religion, rituals and church attendance: these are Matthew Seven Christians!

Popularism has been around since gossip began. Without a Spiritual life, the Godless hominid is bored, simpleton, compulsive and end up addicted to one thing or another. Gossip is one of many things that attempt to fill that void. Religion is also one of those things. Bored humans like crowds; they like to go where the action is; they like drama and the emotion-centric ferver it provides. This is why humans follow other humans; be it in pop-culture; be it in religion. After all, there is little difference being a spectator in one building or another, so long as boredom is attenuated for another hour or two. This is why big churches get bigger, not necessarily because of something God is doing, but rather, something the prince of this world is doing in Jesus' name! They promote the pop-culture and call it relevance; God calls it something else! These are end times folks, and the USA is Sodom plus Rome magnified, and so, the seed snatcher is working overtime, and exclusively where Gods word is being presented (Matthew 13). The masses (Matthew Seven Christians) seek out what's hot; what's popular, be it a religion, a restaurant, a shopping mall, a brand-name this or that (anything): a fad. Pastors (and other's in various Ministries) become famous as pulpit-entertainers, but in the Body of Christ, Jesus is the only one we care to boast about! But in the Godless churches; the accolades; the gossip, backbiting and deception are not only permitted by the Pastoral, they participate, I've listened to it from the pulpit; even over mass-media sources! I myself have been victim of Pastoral abandonment; it broke my heart for years after. Without a trial or a hearing, they conveniently un-welcomed me, and never made any attempt at leaving the 99 for the 1 (me in this case; nay, not even a call, an e-mail, nothing)! Pastors who utterly abandon those lost sheep that God placed in their fold to begin with, have no concept of shepherding; Jesus calls them wolves in sheep's clothing. Of course, now I know that they were not Saved anyway, but, when you Love someone, it does not matter if they're Saved or not (at that moment): I pray for their soul, but I know Scripture concerning them, and it's grievous/grave. And so this is the same process when seeking other Saved people. You would think they're everywhere, in many churches everywhere. But this is not so; I have attended churches where I met not one Saved person, no, not even the Pastoral. It is rather easy to know the sheep from the goats once the Indwelling abides freely within you. You see, the Pharisees were obligating humans to their church-businesses (the synagogues and temples) based on the Old Testament, or so it seemed! What Jesus saw in them, or through them, was that they were doing all that they were doing, not for God, but for their own profit; their own ego: The outward and the inward did not align! They were businessmen and salesmen who exploited God and the temple, for personal gain; to avoid labor and to be admired of men! This is why they made church attendance appear to be a necessary step towards knowing and communicating with God, and thus, getting Gods blessings; Gods gifts. They were the Santa Claus of their time/culture, and the greedy, immature Godless-religious, wanted more and more, labor-free if possible! One of my Paulverbs is this: "If you want to stay on top with God, you'll have to stay out from under people"!

To this day, there are humans who grow up and see the business of religion as a way for them to gain resources, or gain importance in the social setting they inhabit (exactly what Jesus exposed with the Pharisees). Likewise, and with very rare exception, everyone in the USA goes to church for some psychological reason, or for some socio-cultural reason (and indeed, economic reasons). Others attend as some guilt-centric obligation; to pay their Heavenly dues (as it were)! The Godless religions think they're the peddlers of Godly rights/rituals; day care centers where their kids can be Spiritually indoctrinated; even Bible schools and seminaries! As a business, they must keep things fresh (culturally relevant); they must offer something to sell; they must appease the masses. But the early churches and all Christ-centric Fellowships (to this day), center on just that: Fellowship (bonding, unity, blessing one another with time well spent). The Godless Capitalist is busy; they are so entrenched in the world that they require much time, money and other resources, in order to participate in the world. They are career-centric, and material-centric; both of these are mere consequences of the Capitalist culture; Jesus Christ would do no such thing. But you see, these people have not been set free by Christ, and so, they are slave to the socio-culture; to follow in its paths; trapped in the cultural cocoon and all the stresses and conflicts that are common within it. Consequently, they have a busy Sunday, and so the churches offer early morning services so that the families can basically, get in and get out; closing/locking their doors for business at the end of business hours. But the early Believers (as are today's true Believers) dedicate all day Sunday, unto Fellowship with other believers. There is nothing in this life more important to the Indwelled, than this precious time with others that we will be spending every second of all infinity with. And so, because the Godless-religious (and the Godless) see only what is front of them (like any other primate), they all fight over resources, especially land. The Indwelled see all the Earth as Gods creation, and have no greater or lesser valuation or respect for one piece or the other. Every square inch of Earth is Gods, which piece of Earth I live on is inconsequential. But to the Godless, territorialism is natural; carnal, and thus important. The religions have been fighting over what they perceive as holy land, or holy places like buildings, etc. But there is nothing made by the hands of humans that God has any part in, at all. In fact, many times past (and our certain future) God will turn to dust, everything on Earth, explicitly because humans compromised His creation for our own! Gods perfect creation is what Earth looked like before the fall; before Godless humans began their pattern of ecocide that continues to this day.

I go to churches to find others of the Indwelling; for me, I'm like a lost kid looking anxiously for his parents that he has been separated from, for far too long. My heart actually hurts sometimes as I enter into (yet another) church building, prayerfully looking about in the hopes that a Spirit-centric brother or sister will intrinsically reach out their (truly) Loving arms, and say, you are home brother. I am longing for that yoke; that Spirit-centric bond, wherein I know that I'm among my own. But it has not yet happened; and it may never this side of Heaven, and yet, I keep on seeking! I know this: what God builds, cannot fail. And so I know that Gods sheep are out there, but Satan is slick, and it will take some time to navigate around/within Satan's religious snares. Dreadfully, there are so many religious businesses out there, operating in the green because they have compromised to satisfy their culture/society and its expectations: And so, just when you think you may have found a haven of the Indwelled, you soon learn that it's just another den of thieves! The Pastor ends up becoming a salesman; The Bible teaches that we of the Indwelling, work with our own hands to support ourselves (and our wife and kids if we have), and our ministry; not the ministry supporting us. God does not want us to take money from others, we are to make something tangible; that is, God does not want Christians to be salesmen at all. There's too much opportunity for relational compromise once we get ourselves into the position of looking at other humans as our resource. For just one example, let us look at a car salesman: he has to say whatever is necessary for you to buy a car from him, because he makes the bulk of his income from sales. If he does not sell cars, he has no viable income. If he has great financial needs, he will say or do whatever it takes to sell cars. God calls him to build cars, not sell them! More accurately, God calls him not to participate with cars at all (not build them, sell them, buy or own them)! Jesus (and I) was/are carpenters, we provide housing for human habitation; the other apostles were providers of tents, or food products (and let's not forget Dr. Luke). When Jesus came across Matthew standing there taking handouts called temple taxes (of which he got a cut of), Jesus told him to abandon that, and follow Him: (He did)!

The world (the unregenerate) ignores the true Christians; they do not want to face actual Saved people; they relate better to the Godless-religious, who are like them in every way, except that they go to church and boast self-proclamations! In Capitalist America, the measures of success are in dollar increments. Thus, the Godless media seek them who have lots of dollars; who are popular here in Sodom 10. When there is financial dependency, there is the great potential for compromise. When the Spirit tells me to say a thing; to teach a non-positive message (like false salvation, or hell, for examples), I can stand up and say it without worrying if I offend anyone in a church service (even the word service comes into play here). I do not get my sustenance from them; they do not pay my bills, and therefore, I speak as God leads, and if the listeners get offended and walk out, let them alone (as Jesus said & did: Matthew 15)! I do not have to tenderize or attenuate my words to keep from hurting feelings; truth always hurts feelings: That's the way God made us; emotions are the brains way of dealing with reality, or not; conviction and repentance from a pure heart, precede conversion! Jesus made it abundantly clear that we of the Indwelling, especially the Pastoral, are to speak as the Indwelling leads, not as culture (political correctness) or emotions dictate: Can you imagine the Scribes of Scripture doing so? I can hear them saying to the Indwelling Spirit: "write down hypocrites, harlots, blind guides, generation of vipers, whoredom, and men with men? What?" Thankfully, they were obedient to the Indwelling, and wrote what they were told, like it or not; agree with it or not! This is what makes Gods word infallible (inerrant); Inspired. To teach the flock of God is to do just the same thing; to be obedient unto the promptings of the Holy Spirit, with absolutely no thought for how others will receive it. We are witness to an influx of cults that use Jesus' name in their workings: There are already men here/now, claiming to be Jesus Christ in the flesh, just as He said would happen in the (beginning of the) end-times.

And Jesus answering them began to say: Take heed lest any man deceive you: For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And when you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues you shall be beaten; and you shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. And the Gospel must first be published among all nations. But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what you shall speak, nor premeditate: whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that you speak; for it is not you that speaks, but the Holy Spirit. Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. And you shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be Saved. | Then Jesus said to those Jews which believed on Him: If you continue in my word, then you are my Disciples indeed; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. They answered Him: We are of Abraham's seed and were never in bondage to any man: why do you say: "You shall be made free?" Jesus answered them: Verily, verily, I say unto you, whosoever commits sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abides not in the house forever: but the Son abides ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed! (see also Romans 5 & 6) You adulterers and adulteresses; do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. (James).

Heaven is not a place God created for all those who simply DO NOT want to go to hell. Heaven is/will be the most exclusive Fellowship in the universe; it is not about exclusivity as witnessed in the hominids competition paradigms, it is a place of safely where the truly Loving beings can unite in an eternal bond that, far and away, transcends the corporeal. There will be no abandoners there; no takers; no heart-breakers, promise-breakers, rapists, plunderers, hoarders or others who cause humans to suffer in the here and now. Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortionists, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you; but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. I have been tuned into Christian media (TV & radio) for 2 decades; I even served in Christian radio, where (nationally broadcast) religious teachings abound. As a young Christian, I was spoiled by this: The one thing I am noticing today, however, is (what I call) the veritable repeat; the exact (or near exact) quoting topically. It is all, monkey see/do; parroting without soul. It is the too-many-chiefs syndrome, and they all just copy one another! Because they are loosing pew warmers/tithers, they turn to the world for material, just to keep people interested; tuned in! Ministry's not only employ the worldly (the Godless-churched), they even have the same hiring/firing practices as the Godless world does. Why? There is only one answer to this mentality: they are Not of the Indwelling! They'll hire a highly qualified person who claims to be Christian and has a tithe record somewhere, before they'd consider an Indwelled person with no "experience"; the question being (of course) what that experience really represents. The writers of the Holy Bible had no experience writing Gods Word; they were lead (rather suddenly and) exclusively by the Indwelling; this is the only qualification one needs, and should have! The religions require forms (paperwork) and background checks for 2 reasons: One: they have no Spiritual Discernment; no intrinsic idea, who is Saved and who is not. Two: they are so yoked with the Godless world, that they too, are subject to law-suits and other finincial attacks, and they're not in business to have that happen. Additionally, they often refer to the world (they reference the worldly); the Godless among us, who are popular only because they have cameras in their faces most of the time. But in truth; one only need the Indwelling to pick up on it all: to see it; to hear it; to discern it. Without the Indwelling, people are perfectly comfortable in the cocoon of corporeality; in the midst of the worldly and all its ways, fat and isolated within their own micro-experience. As a person called into a particular Ministry, I myself would not pay anyone to serve Christ, nor do I get paid: This eliminates any possibility that motives are worldly or materialistic. Thus, the perfect church is like the perfected person; it cares not for personality or vernacular; for physical beauty or handsomeness; for social stature, positive mental attitudes or great oration skills; it seeks Gods Love in/thru us, via actions and inactions! The perfect church is not a place (per say), but the end-result of a Fellowship of the perfected! When I hear people say that it does not exist, I know that I'm listening to a person who has not yet experienced the Indwelling Holy Spirit. The best example of a great Fellowship experence (in the USA) is among the American Amish (see my page on Anabaptist's).

Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That you may be the children of your Father, which is in Heaven: for He makes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love them that love you, what reward have you? Do not even the publicans do the same? And if you salute your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the publicans do so? Therefore, you be perfect, even as your Father, which is in Heaven, is perfect. | If you will be perfect, go and sell that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in Heaven: and come and follow me. | Can the blind lead the blind? Shall they not both fall into the ditch? The Disciple is not above his master: but everyone that is perfect shall be as his master. | Now I pray not for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one, as you Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that you have sent me. And the glory which you gave me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and you in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that you have sent me, and have Loved them, as you have Loved me.

Side-taking begins in public shools; it begins in childhood! Children are indoctrinated by adults, but the message of that indoctrination is typically the modem of the time/culture that adult is also indoctrinated in. As generations pass, the newer generations see issues-past, and either change them (breaking cycles) or embrace them (perpetuating traditions). In the issue of taking sides, this is a primal and carnal phychology (a base pathology) that exists in corporeality; in all time/cultures. All Godless humans are basically primal; they have no Spiritual life because they do not harbor the Holy Spirit of God. Spiritualism, therefore, has only to do with levels of emotions that the simpleton mind cannot differentiate: That is, anything non-physical must be spiritual. This happens in New Age religions as well as Christiandom. The child is made to take sides; this is child abuse, and yet, most adults live and die, oblivious to this fact: All Indwelled people understand it, simply! To be forced to choose, raises with it, a plethora of other problems. Even the parent will use their own children as a weapon in (and to) this "selection pathology". This is the core pathology of racism, gender bigotry, and indeed, all divisions possible within the human condition! It is called competitivism, and I write about it perspicuously. If you are a Baptist (or a 7th Day Adventist or any other sect), and I condemn or criticize the Baptists, you the Baptist, are offended. After all, you selected to be a part of the Baptist Faith, and so I am "attacking" your selection; the brand-name that you've made your own; that you identify your self with! Those of the Indwelling, see themselves as individual humans transformed by the Holy Spirit...period! This is why Satan attacks the "religion" side of the Faith:

Mark 4:1-20 (cev) The next time Jesus taught beside Lake Galilee, a big crowd gathered. It was so large that he had to sit in a boat out on the lake, while the people stood on the shore. He used stories to teach them many things, and this is part of what he taught: Now listen! A farmer went out to scatter seed in a field. While the farmer was scattering the seed, some of it fell along the road and was eaten by birds. Other seeds fell on thin, rocky ground and quickly started growing because the soil wasn't very deep. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched and dried up, because they did not have enough roots. Some other seeds fell where thornbushes grew up and choked out the plants. So they did not produce any grain. But a few seeds did fall on good ground where the plants grew and produced thirty or sixty or even a hundred times as much as was scattered. Then Jesus said: "If you have ears, pay attention." When Jesus was alone with the twelve apostles and some others, they asked Him about these stories. He answered: I have explained the secret about God's kingdom to you, but for others I can use only stories. The reason is, "These people will look and look, but never see. They will listen and listen, but never understand. If they did, they would turn to God, and he would forgive them." Jesus told them: If you don't understand this story, you won't understand any others. What the farmer is spreading is really the message about the kingdom. The seeds that fell along the road are the people who hear the message. But Satan soon comes and snatches it away from them. The seeds that fell on rocky ground are the people who gladly hear the message and accept it right away. But they don't have any roots, and they don't last very long. As soon as life gets hard or the message gets them in trouble, they give up. The seeds that fell among the thornbushes are also people who hear the message. But they start worrying about the needs of this life. They are fooled by the desire to get rich and to have all kinds of other things. So the message gets choked out, and they never produce anything. The seeds that fell on good ground are the people who hear and welcome the message. They produce thirty or sixty or even a hundred times as much as was planted.

Since day one (and to the last day), the evil one is dedicated to destroying the seeds sown to grow potential Christ-followers. There is only one place to destroy (Spiritual) seeds; where the sower drops them! Once a fully mature plant exists, there is not too much Satan can do, other than to try to stumble us. The Free Masons were required to believe in God, but no specific God is mentioned. The Nights Templar had to be Christian, but what that means is as ambiguous as we see religion today. We see the signs of Satanic worship (the pentagram) over the topography of Washington DC, and it has been suggested that they were (secretly) the followers of Satan, but claiming to be Christian. The "In God We Trust" was really the god of this world; his main weapon is money! (One great resource among many: Secrets of the Free Masons, a video from History.com) The reason that it is all secret, is because professing Christians would not knowingly follow Satanic disciples, and most early American Colonizers considered themselves Christian. The god of the USA is money, this fact is abundantly clear (Capitalism is the unabashed love of money), and so the messages of the early Colonizers was money-centric, for it is the money of this world that empowers the men of this world. The Knights Templar and the Catholic Church, had lots of money/power! Jesus Christ had neither, teaching us how strength comes in weakness; how self-empowerment is a fruit of the Indwelling, and that power is Love! We of the Indwelling, follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit, not the flesh. Eventually, that guide has more control over us, conforming us into the bondservants of the Lord Jesus Christ. Once we have lost all desires and dreams of/in this life, we surrender and sacrifice our earthly existence, in order to be available to serve God only!

If there is little or no monies in it for the Pastoral, that fact will eliminate most of the Godless self-professors upfront. But Satan is devious and will work around even that precaution, but not for long, for the worldly are motivated by physical things; the material world itself: They value this life and what happens here, far more than they value eternal life, because in truth, they do not really believe in it; they only use (and abuse) God and religion for personal gain in the here-and-now (the me-here-now syndrome: the self-centric mentality). This is the advantage for us of the Indwelling (the truly Saved): The discernment that God gives to us (via that Indwelling). Jesus told His Disciples not to carry money (scrip) in this earthly journey, but, you will not hear this sermon from the pulpits of the materialists; trying to teach the parable of the two masters simply eludes them! Now please (in balanced thought) understand this: I do believe it is possible for an Indwelled man to have a Fellowship Ministry, built in the USA that is God-centric. I believe that such a Ministry will be provided for by God, without any guilt-ridden appeals for funding; without the obligation-tray being passed about from person to person, during the time of worship. I do believe firmly, that we are to support our local Fellowship (collectively), but I do not recommend that you or I support anything with Jesus' name on it, if we do not know intrinsically and firmly, that it is of the Lord! I will say this plainly; most church businesses are not of God, but are of man. This is why I believe that, if a man is called into the Pastoral; he will work to support himself and his family, and let the Fellowship support itself, and God will provide for that with no begging needed. I can also understand that, as a man gets older and the mortal flesh begins to betray him (I'm beginning to feel it myself); that the Fellowship may need to step in, and help him especially in his elder years. But if a man is healthy and able to work, I believe that God expects him to follow the example/lead of the Apostles (Esp. Paul) with regard to Ministry (more about that in "Pastoral").

When the Holy Spirit ascended on Him following His Baptism, Jesus did not speak in unknown tongues, weep or wail (nor react upon any human emotion). He did not construct religious buildings or churches; He went straightway into Gods creation, the natural world, to fast and pray; to buffet the flesh; to be separated from other humans; this is how, when and where God speaks to us and gives us our marching orders! Satan followed along behind Jesus waiting for Him to get weakened in His flesh (hungry/tired from a solitary 40 day fast: try it sometime); what did Satan tempt Jesus with? You got it; things of Earth that will only benefit those of Earth (the worldly). Satan has nothing to offer of any eternal value, but he has much to offer for those of this world, who want the material things herein! Jesus selected suffering in the flesh over all the worldly power and possessions availed by Satan, even food when hungry. He taught us (of the Indwelling) our true value system, and most importantly; that the prince of this world will always motivate and redirect hominids with money/power. It's no wonder that the Gnostics thought of the physical world as evil; in a way it is. This is the example for us to understand the motives and directives of the evil one (Jesus Christ did not need to receive the Holy Spirit nor to be Baptized). Evil people (all who do not possess the Holy Spirit of God) are cocooned in the corporeal ("the corporeal cocoon" is a chapter title); they view the Godless, they're entertained, trained, taught and indoctrinated by Godless people: They know more about the Godless world than Jesus Christ or the history of the brethren. But without the discernment that comes naturally to the Indwelled, they are oblivious to doing do (unconscious of it). The "Christian" on the radio or TV media will consistently refer to (or reference) Godless people; its news is about Godless humans whom we only knew existed because of the invention of video tape (and cameras, and the Godless media that profits from it all). Their true motives; their true god, is manifest herein, for those with an ear! The rest will say "Lord, Lord" on Judgment Day: Matthew Seven Christians who will ride the Broadway far into the celestial abyss; outer darkness where even the light of the corporeal universe does not reach (eternal consciousness without form): No wonder there will be the metaphorical wailing and gnashing of teeth, and indescribable self-inflicted pain, to rehearse ones own Godless experience, with Jesus right there for them, all along this life, and they just did not get it (ouch)! To hear Jesus say to the self-professing believer: "I never knew you" must be the most horrific sound possible!

The test; the very fundamentals of a true born-again Fellowship (a church) can be measured:
1: How many other Christians do you live with in Community?
2: How many men pastor that Community?
3: Do you, as a Pastor, have at least a dozen other Pastors that you associate/bond with regularly, that are not affiliated with your sect in any way, other than being in the Body of Christ?
4: How many beds does the homeless shelter within your church building, house? Feed?

You see, the Litmus test, if you will, of being an actual, born-again Christian, is measured in ones level of dedication to serving Christ and nothing more; to have no personal agenda at all, but to be a bondservant. It is not a weekend event, it is the sum of our very being; it's all there is! We live it every second of infinity. Conversely, the Godless-religious are carbon-copies of their culture and its indoctrinations and traditions, and then, they attend church-services! The perfect church is any Fellowship that mirrors those taught in the Bible; that has no barriers to yoking with and participating in Christ-centric missions; they are a part of the Body of Christ, and not isolated unto themselves; not exclusive to their own brand-name church or denomination (which is the first-fruits of the cult). They/we are a comfortable with a stranger that also harbors the Indwelling Holy Spirit, as they/we are a close friend. The Body of Christ is not found in buildings, but in people, and thus, those of the Indwelling recognize this and live it. There are many brand-name religions out there trying to promote their own click, sect or denomination (even if they say they are not); this is fruit-evidence that they're not Saved; not One with Christ and with one another. The absence of unity in the Body is the evidence; look for it. This is why I consider myself an Indwelled member of the Body of Christ; all Saved people think and act likewise (John 17). Avoid exclusivity, brand-naming, or any other method of isolating you/I from the rest of the Body of Christ. Many church-businesses do this because they need devoted/dedicated givers to their Ministry's (or denominations) in order to pay all the debts they create therein, by operating outside the Biblical directives of/for Christ-centric Fellowship. Do not participate in churches where there are star-Pastors; where the Pastor/s will not be fully accountable; open to all, financially as well as Spiritually (there's no such thing as a rich Christian, but there are the religious-rich; they are Godless and may even be possessed by a demon). Remember, privacy and secrecy are for those who live in hiding from other humans; God (of course) knows all! I am not opposed to a Fellowship that expands out of the home-church beginnings (I'm in an apartment that cannot hold many people, nor is it allowed), but the group must agree to what, where and when, and, that there will be no paid Pastors, and no star Pastors. It should be an honor to serve, not a job: If people feel they need to be paid to serve Christ, they are exposing to the universe, that they do not have the Indwelling Holy Spirit in them! We labor with our hands to provide shelter, food and clothing; therein we are contented. It is the discontent that seek after more and more; mammon is how you get those things! And the Religionists who have taken their needs from the hands of others, have already been seared Spiritually; they cannot be reached, and they're certainly not going to give up the easy money, nor return that which they have extorted from the Christian community.

The are many tares that grow up inside religious businesses. It is the role of the Pastor/Shepherd to not only keep the flock of God together, but to protect them. But rejecting/abandoning (humans) is not the goal of the Shepherd/Pastor; they are to follow Christ and let the Holy Spirit within them, do all the work. If a wolf is in sheep's clothing, it's still a wolf, and so, it is the duty of the Shepherd/Pastor to flush out that wolf. How? Easy! First off, the wolf is there to take, not to grow up with the sheep in a life-long bond centered on personal sacrifice! In the Laodicean Age, the wolf is most often the Shepherd/Pastor, and so there's no one there to protect the sheep, and they scatter (one by one, sometimes over many years, but eventually most all). While they earnest seek out a Godly Fellowship to join, they invariably enter into one of these religion-businesses, and at first, the sheep seem white and fluffy: But given enough time, the big teeth start to show! Little Red Robinhood had better run, and not look back! Unlike the past, the wolf now runs the farm! You only need go into a church-business every decade or so, and you will see a totally different crowd each time. Conversely, when you go into an indigenous village; say, in a South American jungle; there you will find everyone still there (except the dead), as well as the new children. Why? Because they are a family, village-style; and so it is with true believers in Christ: the Indwelled. This is the case with all Christ-centric Fellowships; in fact, it is the fruit-evidence! When a church is a business, it looks like what you see when you walk into any market/store; completely different people there... coming in and going out... all the time! The Godless-religious actually suggest that they "equip" people to serve in "ministry" and then send them out. So-called mission trips aside, the Pastor fails each time, even when one person does not return to the flock. I know of "Pastors" who lose hundreds every year (I'd commit suicide before I lost my first 5)! Why does this not bother them at all? Because they are not of the sheep, they are the wolves. They build stages so they can put on the show of religion, and collect the tithe! I even attended a church that was once a theatre; how appropriate! The wolf puts on the show, so that they do not have to build their own home, grow their own food or labor with/in Gods creation, along side other laborers. The Godless-religious differ little from any other Godless person within their micro-experience. They too, want to be handed money, food and the key to their home; then in time, guilt motivates them to some ceremonial act of labor; the proverbial shovel of dirt, as it were! But their overall lifestyle is manifest; they are there to get you to pay their debts (debts for things no Indwelled person ever possesses to begin with), and, they prostitute Scripture towards that end-goal. These are defined in Scripture as "anti-Christ's", and their businesses a "den of thieves". They are there to puff-up sagging egos and allow those addicted to whining about the inequities of this life, a place to shine-n-whine! Even though God is demonstrating to the universe, that mass-materialism is unsustainable, the Godless-religious actually participate in the slow destruction of Gods creation, and they actually think, that it's what they think, that will assure their place in Gods Heavenly Kingdom. I call it self-belief-salvation, but Jesus Christ calls it something else (Matthew Seven Christians)! It goes something like this: "I do not want to go to hell, I want to go to Heaven, therefore, I will believe something in my mind and presto, I've got my ticket to Heaven!" The wolves of religion promote this pathology, and multitudes believe it... for awhile anyway. It's the quick-fix to eternal damnation, and the reason that most people are content with this, is because they really do not believe they will exist beyond the grave anyway, especially now in the Laodicean Age. The enemy of the Cross is working overtime, not to destroy seeds, but to allow them to grow and multiply, only now, Satan has genetically altered those seeds to produce a look-a-like stem of wheat, that is almost indistinguishable from a tare (Mathew 24 / Romans 16 / 2nd Thessalonians 2).

Avoid any churches or people that have mindlessly adopted the paradigms of the Godless Capitalists; look for the following terms: Executive Pastor, Associate Pastor, Reverend (that's especially disturbing), or any other "corporate-style" hierarchy. Church temple-building and the subsequent business hierarchy models, were started by the Catholics, and later adopted by the Protestants. The Godless Capitalists exploited the "Christian" influences in people as they Industrialized Earth for prosperity! Remember how we of the Indwelling relate: Jesus Himself considers us His brethren; His friend: Those of the Indwelling are egalitarian! Understand: It was Godless Capitalist's that built the hierarchical competitivism-culture that we Americans are now trapped in; we are to be in the world (all were/are born within worldliness, but we are not to become xenophobic), but also, we are not to conform to it all either! But the Bible teaches that many will conform (more than not), and will do so, not to win souls to Christ, but to win friends and influence people; to get their portion without labor: You figure it out! Before you listen to anyone or follow or learn from any human being on Earth (Pastor, Priest, Rabbi, Theologian or otherwise), look first at where he or she gets their daily bread (if you will), what is the source of their monetary needs and wants. And then (as importantly), look at what they own, possess, have or use. Are they carbon-copies of their culture/s, or are they radical recreations in Christ? If their monetary needs/wants come from a church or Seminary, they have no option but to promote the theology of the culture they inhabit (for good or for bad). We do not criticize or oppose our employer, for the fear of being fired and loosing our income, and they are no different. This is why we are called to work with our own hands; to eat our own food; to be content with a simple lifestyle; to live Christ in whatever circumstance God/life/fate hands us. We are called out of the world and its materialistic ways, not merely to adapt our religion to it. Study the History of Christianity: The Catholics lost their power to the politicians, and made sweeping changes in order to keep humans obligated to them. Rather than surrendering to Christ, and going back into the fields to labor, they kept their silken robes and labor-free lifestyles, by simply contorting/conforming God, doctrine and religion for this gain. No wonder the unbelievers stay unbelievers: The Godless-religious so prostitute God that the yet-to-believe, logically stay there in their disbelief. They do not see Jesus in the churches, and so they conclude that He is not real: But Jesus is real, and those who follow Him; look, act, live and think like Him: Everyone else just exploits His name for personal gain in the here & now! And so, the Bible instructs us clearly; do not fellowship with those who take donations, receive "tithes and offerings", or in any other way, takes/receives mammon that they did not earn with the sweat of their brow. The obedient church is a perfect church!

1st Thessalonians 2:9 | 4:9-12 | Eph. 4:28 For you remember, brethren, our labor and travail: for laboring night and day, because we would not be chargable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God. | But as touching brotherly Love, you need not that I write unto you: for you yourselves are taught of God to Love one another. And indeed you do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that you increase more and more; and that you study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; that you may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that you may have lack of nothing. | Let him who stole, steal no more, but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, so that he may have something to give to him who needs.

2nd Thessalonians 3:6-15 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; Neither did we eat any man's bread for naught; but wrought with labor and travail night and day, that we might not be chargable to any of you: Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an example unto you to follow us. For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing. And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother. Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which you have learned, and avoid them. For they that are such, serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. (Romans 16:17-18)

Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, you that are Spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For every man shall bear his own burden. Let him that is taught in the word, communicate unto him that teaches in all good things. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap. For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. | Do you not know that the Saints shall judge the world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know you not, that we shall judge angels? How much more things that pertain to this life? If then you have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? No, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? But brother goes to law with brother, and that, before the unbelievers. Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because you go to law one with another. Why do you not rather take wrong? Why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? | Before faith came; we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith, which should afterwards be revealed. Therefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith: But after that faith comes, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For you are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus. So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free. Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
