Confusion comes when you make your own conclusions and proclaim what your views or opinion is; again I will say it’s not our opinion; take the word as it is, allow the Holy Spirit, the teacher, guide, who will lead you into all truth. The Holy Spirit will never take you outside the word, it will stay within the confines of the word.

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32) I’m going to make a statement here; when people say in most cases, that is your opinion or interpretation, they simply don’t want to hear or acknowledge the truth. Read 2 Thessalonians 2:10. It tells us that because they would not accept the truth they would follow after lies and fall into error. (2 Timothy 2:15) To rightly dividing the word of truth; make no mistake, there is truth and there is error. People are not free because they really don’t know the truth.

Lets get back to the church. I find when I start to write about the church, and the Holy Spirit I really don’t know where to stop. I am going to try and clear up the church question, make no mistake, there is a true church, but it’s not a wooden structure as such that stands alone in some community with some sort of name tag, that can be so far from the truth. (Romans 16:5) Paul said to greet the church that is in their house. Made reference to the church as a group of born again believers not a denomination. Now I must agree that within some denominational setting we will find the church.

Don’t forget, Jesus is coming for a church, without spot or wrinkle, a people that’s not holding the world in one hand and a church pew in the other. Where I live we have 6 church buildings, now get real, everyone figures they are right. If that is so, then there is nobody wrong and everybody is going to Heaven; and it looks like nobody is bound for hell; then there are people who don’t believe in hell, will let me tell you, Jesus spoke just as much about hell as he did Heaven. Make no mistake, there is a real hell, in fact, I was allowed to get a little glimpse of it by the Spirit of God, so don’t get fooled, it’s there for those who reject Christ and the Blood that was shed for them to have their sins blotted out, and their names written down in the Lambs Book of Life.

The Bible says Christ is coming back for His Church, some are asleep, or dead while there are others who are alive. (1 Thessalonians 4:15 – 4:17) Tell me there is a separate people that will be identified somewhere down the road. The Bible says, that the dead saints or the church will rise at His appearing, but the rest of the dead will not rise until after a thousand years. Don’t be misguided; in closing this and I am quite aware there may be thousands reading this; it’s time for people to wake up. If you are a Pastor or Minister of some denomination and you consider yourself a member of the body of Christ, and you can’t accept another member or don’t recognize them, there is a big “?”

The Bible says, we are members one of another, come on don’t think that you can separate the Body of Christ and get away with it, wake up.

Now the question arises what, who, where is the Church? Be sure of this one thing, the Church that Jesus talked about, Paul talked about, was not an organized denomination as we see and hear proclaimed. Jesus said to Peter, upon this Rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it. We have seen denominations crumble, thus a proof that is not the Church Jesus talked about.

The Church is a living organism indwelt by the Holy Spirit, washed in the Blood of the Lamb, sanctified, separated from the world but live in the world but does not contaminate his or her self with the things of the world, that includes Hollywood. James 1:27 Read Psalms 24

If you think that you are a part of the Church, of the first born, if you can smoke, drink, play in a nightclub Saturday night and then partake in organized church activities on Sunday you better think again. No man can serve two masters, you cannot serve God and mammon. (Matthew 6:24)

The Church has one foundation, is Jesus Christ the Lord, he is a new creation by water and the word, the true Church does not hide behind some name tag; you cannot separate the body of Christ or the Church. The true body of Christ or the Church will not want to be separated from other believers. Paul spoke about the Husband and wife in relation to the Church (Ephesians 5:23-33) The body of Christ is suffering today for more reasons than one.

(1 Corinthians 12:26) If one member suffers we all suffer. The Church is suffering today spirituality and one of the main reasons, and I say this without fear of contradictions; that ministries that God hath placed within the body cannot function in the local organizations, therefore the whole body is suffering. I have seen it through the years, and am talking from experience not from what I heard someone say or read in a book.

Read 1 Corinthians 11:30. My friend believe this if you like, if you don’t recognize a member of the body of Christ, you could be in trouble. I am well aware there will be thousands read this, some may say, that’s you opinion, no my friend, I hate to use natural things to compare but I will in this; I have been doing electrical work, it could be fatal if I should use my opinion. I have to know what I’m at, it could mean someone’s life when it comes to the Gospel. It’s not a matter of opinion. Jesus said, you shall know the truth and the truth shall set your free. It’s only the truth of Gods’ word will set people free. The commission to the Church empowered by the Holy Ghost, to bind to loose to set men and woman free, to heal, to cast out devils.

I would like end with Joel chapter 2 verse 1. Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my Holy Mountain.

Time to sound the alarm, wake up behold the bridegroom cometh.
