			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have dwelt a little on the work of the Holy Spirit and the Church. The  work of the Holy Spirit within the Church, this in itself can be a  little confusing if you allow it to be, but really there is no confusion  with the Holy Spirit, because He is the spirit of truth. (John 14:17 : 1  John 5:6)</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 “?”</p>
<p>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.</p>
