Dear Brethren,
When the Lord first told me to go to Asia, I went in there acutely aware that I was to teach to the best of my ability the purest gospel. And to teach according to the Will and intent, written in the Word of God for His Church, not the traditions and doctrines of men. I was not going in there in the name of any religion or denomination but at the direct instructions of the Lord.
During that time I spent in these remote villages the Lord continually talked to me about His Church. He talked to me almost continually about Calling His Church to Order. Then He told me to write it down in a book and call it “Call the Church to Order”. I was not able to begin that work until my return to the states. When I thought the book was finished the Lord came to me and Commanded me to Gather His Apostles. I changed the name of the book I was writing, added the command and called it “Gather My Apostles”. And in fact, it was not a finished book in Calling the Church to Order. After more than four years of doing the work to Gather His Apostles, He instructed me to write another book and it is called “Call the Church to Order” w/subtitle Gather My Apostles. I have learned a lot in the Gathering of the Lord’s Apostles in the past four years. I hope to have it finished soon. In January of 2001 I heard the Lord tell me to just begin the work of Calling the Church to Order.
When we take the Gospel of Jesus Christ into some of these countries we have to realize that their religion, language and culture are all intertwined. When they decide to follow Jesus they have to forsake all of their traditions and sacred cows. Only Jesus can bring them to that place. It is not easy. It means that many are ostracized by the community and many times disowned by their families. Some families would rather see them dead rather than dishonor the family by being a Christian. Many feel like they would be doing their god a great service by killing the one who brings the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. There is a War going on Continually for the Souls of Man World Wide. It is life and death in every respect both in the physical realm and in the spiritual realm. It is not a game of any kind and it is not likened to a Country Club activity in any way.
Matthew Chapter 10 -
37 He that
loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son
or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And he that taketh not his
cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 39 He that findeth his life
shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. 40 He that
receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a
prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a
righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.
Just like those in foreign countries have to leave their own traditions and yes even families to follow the Lord. You will have to as well. It’s not easy but the Lord can and will lead you as you seek to follow his Will and Ways.
Satan has continuously introduced doctrines through men that would disarm and weaken the greatest people on the face of this earth. That is the Body of Christ led and empowered by the Holy Spirit of God going forth in the Name of Jesus of Nazareth. Make no mistake it is these doctrines of men and devils that has kept the Church of Jesus Christ from inheriting all that the Lord has for us to walk in.
Matthew Chapter 15 vs. 9, But in vain they do
worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Mark Chapter 7 -
6
He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you
hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but
their heart is far from me.
7
Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men. 8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the
tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like
things ye do. 9 And he said unto
them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own
tradition.
10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: 11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. 12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; 13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
If any servant of God in these days said this same thing to the Churches he would be accused of legalism and what that servant of God spoke, would be immediately dismissed by many.
Verse 15 says. There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
When
you receive false doctrines and fables into your heart you are defiling
yourself. We must always be alert and guard out hearts and minds. To know and
understand that you are walking in this kind of traditions of men and continue
on is a very serious matter.
The
Lord was speaking to the Pharisees of the time that were found guilty of
perverting the word and intent of God. They were accused by the Lord of
rejecting or disobeying the commandments of God so that they could keep their
traditions. This is exactly what is going on in the Churches the systems of men
today. It started in earnest in the Days of the Emperor Constantine in Rome. The
reformation started in 1517 and was a beginning to the road of reformation but
true reformation of the Church has yet to happen.
Before
the Lord Ascended on High, He gave commandment to His disciples. Matthew Chapter
28 Vs. 18 All power is given unto me in
heaven and in earth. 19 Go Ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Vs 20 Teaching them to
observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with
you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
This
Command is still in effect today. Many in this day think that we will receive
some never before disclosed revelation that will bring us to order and unity. In
truth those who are fully convinced their doctrine is correct are still waiting
for the Lord to be convinced and get in line with them. This has not and will
not happen. The Glory of the Lord cannot be given to a people who reject and
disobey the commandments of God to keep their own traditions.
If we
reject the leaders sent and appointed by God (Eph. 4 11-16), reject His Order of
Authority and His Ways to maintain our own traditions, we will not see the Glory
of God in our midst. We will not mature and could very well fall away from the
Faith altogether. The time of the Destruction of Mystery Babylon Mother of
Harlots and Abominations of the Earth draws near.
Luke
Chapter 11 - 47 Woe unto you! for
ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 48 Truly
ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed
them, and ye build their sepulchres.
49 Therefore also said
the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they
shall slay and persecute: 50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed
from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; 51 From
the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar
and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye
entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
The
Lord cursed the Pharisees and the lawyers and told them that He would send them
Prophets and Apostles, and some of them they would slay and persecute. Then in
Revelations at the destruction of Mystery Babylon we see in 18-20 Rejoice
over her, thou heaven, and ye holy Apostles and Prophets; for God hath avenged
you on her. In Verse 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints,
and all that were slain upon the earth.
These scriptures and more show us that the Pharisees were influenced by this
Evil Spirit Mystery Babylon Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth.
They were in direct alignment with her to pervert the truths of God and deceive
the nations.
Christian
Churches today have perverted the Word, Order, Will and Ways of God. Every
religion in this world is under the Influence of this Spirit who’s sole intent
is to lead the nations of the earth away from the Truth of God. Ultimately
stealing the souls of men from God. (all that were slain upon the earth.) The
warning “Beware the leaven of the Pharisees” was not heeded and indeed was
not even understood in times past. However we are in the very last of days and
these things are being revealed and brought to the forefront.
The
Lord gave me the understanding of What Mystery Babylon is in the early 90's.
The Lord tells us; to come out of her my
people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her
plagues. Rev. 18-4.
How can you come out of something when you don’t know what it is? There are
still many who teach it is just America or just the Catholic Church etc. Was the
Lord telling everyone to leave America? No! It is important that you understand.
This link will take you to the Chapter in the book Gather My Apostles. I hope it
will help you to see the truth here.
http://www.apostles-gathering.com/chapter10.htm
At
each of the Gatherings, the Apostles, those who were discerned to be true
Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ, stood and corporately began to intercede to
God to cover the sins and atrocities of all the Churches of times past with the
Blood Of The Lamb of God. We prayed for forgiveness for all that has defiled
God’s inheritance in times past. At the 3rd Gathering I saw a
sincere repentance coming from the men of God who stood there in proxy praying.
There was a better understanding than at any time before.
We
are not to have any sacred cows. We are not to have any other god’s before us.
The only one Sacred is God the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost and they are
ONE GOD.
I
have heard many wonder how this move of God to Gather His Apostles was going to
integrate into the current systems of men or Churches. I have not purposefully
come out to bash the Churches. I have been, to the best of my Ability in Christ
Jesus, teaching the truth. The Churches have fashioned themselves after the
order and doctrines of men that went before, generation after generation making
few changes.
Those who have tried to integrate the Apostles into the current systems of men have faced unrelenting persecution. It will not work. Let me give you one of the examples of our time.
A Brother I discerned to be an Apostle before the last Gathering who decided not to go because there was no clear prepared pre-written agenda, called me after the Gathering and began to explain what his Pastor was intending for them. I cautioned him not to buy into it, that he could not return unto Babylon. You all need to understand what is going on right now all around. My response is in bold lettering.
This Brothers letter to me, is first and then my response follows in Bold. This is not a game.
Cary,
Last week on the phone you cautioned me about "coming back under Babylon" when I mentioned assembling a five-fold team of men and having our senior pastor pray and anoint us with oil for ministry. I got your point and so cancelled the anointing service last Saturday.
This morning, in an emergency meeting, the pastor asked what I meant by Babylon? Where do you see yourself, Larry, in two years? Until we hear from God about the five-fold ministry and how it will change our local government structure, will you stay submitted to the pastor here at ----------? W------ uses Episcopal rule, not congregational rule or presbyters rule, are you okay with that while we consider the plurality of elders rule? I know of only four men I would call apostles, but I am willing to learn about it, are you okay with that, Larry? In the ---------- denomination we have district supervisors over several churches in a region. Are they to be considered apostles?
The pastor said, "We want to be your home church for when you travel and do whatever God has for you in the future of your ministry. We trust you, Larry, but we need to continue the present chain of authority until God clearly changes it around here."
So, Cary, I have a retreat house with my ministry and I am meeting Friday the thirteenth of this week for the first time with the five-fold team and our two worship leaders. I will pursue unity among this group of men, educate them about the five-fold, express our pastor's feelings, and seek the Lord. We have been chosen to do all of the teaching of the men at W------- at our Saturday morning and Thursday night events.
Dear
Brother,
We have to understand that the systems of men in place now make no provision for many of the Callings of God under the Lord's order and ways. It is not the Pastors fault. It is not the fault of any of us that desire to serve the Lord in these days. But the Lord is bringing His Apostles to the forefront in this time. I have received a very formal and direct command from the Lord to Gather His Apostles. The Lord has spoken to me for many years now about Calling His Church to Order. He cannot pour out His Glory on systems of men that are operating under the Spirit of Mystery Babylon, Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the earth.
This spirit is clearly described as the religious systems of men that deceives the nations from the truth of God. It is made clear when we see the Lord cursing the Pharisees and telling them that He will send prophets and Apostles to them and some they will slay and persecute. Then the Lord tells His disciples to beware the Leaven of the Pharisees.
In revelation Chapters 17 and 18 we see that the blood of the saints and of the prophets and apostles was found in her.
In Revelation 18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
Men over the centuries have not understood any of this. The Lord declared that the traditions and doctrines of men and devils do make His Word of none effect. Men throughout the centuries have structured the churches according to their own discretion and not according to the Order and ways of God. The Order and ways of God were clearly shown on the day of Pentecost when there was no strange doctrine of men to forbid Him. The Apostle Paul more than any other was used of God to teach Order in the Church. Satan has always known that if he could destroy God's structure and Order in the Church he could prevail over a people who had authority over him to cast him out. Satan convinced the Church that Miracles went away with the Apostles. In one fell swoop he destroyed for a time the God Ordained delegated authority and leadership in the Church.
We have come to the time when the Lord is getting ready to prepare His Bride and to show forth His Glory to be seen in His people, before the end of this dispensation. He can't pour it out on doctrines of men and devils and be true to His word that says it does make His Word of none effect. This applies to the traditions and systems of men that pervert His Order. We need to quit using the term five fold ministries. It is a term of men that usually refers to the Prophets and Apostles only. There are five ministries given by the Lord. All are important. If each one is given by the Lord then it is imperative that each one operating in the respective callings be called by the Lord and not birthed and approved of by a system of men.
There is nothing the Pastor can do. He should not in any way feel threatened by the Calling of the Apostle or Prophet. Any Apostle trying to assert authority to change the government structure of a system such as the ----------- Church has no understanding. The district supervisors would in no way be considered Apostles just because of their position in a system such as this. The Calling of an Apostle can only be given by the Lord. This is why we have been diligent to have the Apostles submit to the discernment process. It is not an Approval process.
Your Pastor like all of us is going to have to make some hard decisions in the days ahead. It means being willing to do it God's way and no other way. To accept the delegated authority of God, so that the Lord is free and legal to His Word, in pouring out His Spirit in a measure the World has yet to see. So that the World will know God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent.
The Pastors of the present systems of men that do try to hinder those in the Body of Christ from seeking to come out of Babylon will be placing themselves at risk with the Lord. Many Pastors will attack and persecute the Apostles calling them sheep stealers and much worse as the Lord calls His People out of Babylon and Calls His Church to Order. These words have already begun; Revelation Chapter 18 vs. 4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. I know that this is not easy to entreat, but unfortunately it is the truth. This is a very serious matter a matter of life and death to God's people in the earth. It would not seem strange if the Lord Called His Apostles out of Babylon first.
All the men who obeyed God in making changes towards God's Order and Truth have always been labeled as goats or rebellious by the systems already in place. It is hard. But we all must seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness. We must all strive to obey His Will and Ways. We are not in a time like before. Any man who thinks that we are not drawing very near to the end of this dispensation or that the Lord will not return is fooling himself.
What I am writing here is hard for all of us to accept. Mystery Babylon is not just Catholicism as some teach. It is not just America or the financial institutions. It is not the religious system of the Anti Christ. Babylon influences all the religions in the Earth to deceive the Nations from the truth of God.. And it has been in place a long time.
Just because something has been that way a long time does not make it true. Buddhism is older than Christianity but as wrong as wrong can be. And I can assure you they don't like any body telling them that. Some Pastors are trying to embrace this move of God to bring forth His Apostles. It makes for good Church and has the APPEARANCE of righteousness, showing the willingness to embrace the truth of God's Word. But the Pastors are insisting on being the covering and being in complete control over the Apostle or the Apostle must go. This is happening in many places at this time. Again this is just another perversion of the Lords Order and Ways. It will not work. And it displeases the Lord for false doctrine to be taught to His people by example. Trying to adopt God's Order and Ways into the now established systems of men without the systems abandoning their Order and ways, Will not work.
Your Pastor is not going to change the ---------- church or their govt. We are all in the same boat. We must do it God's Way in this time coming out of the influence of Mystery Babylon. To reject the Truth because it doesn't fit with your religion is folly.. Believe me I have sought the Lord about this many many times. We just have to abandon the doctrines of men and devils along with their systems. I am not bashing anyone. It’s just the way it is.
Love
Cary Goodwin
As I said in
the last letter and at the beginning of this news letter, I heard the Lord tell
me to just begin Calling the Church to Order. Just to get on with the work. There
is no reason why we can’t and there is NO EXCUSE IF WE DON’T.
For
everything the Lord tells man. Satan has another answer that usually is what man
wants to hear. This is the same deception that began in the Garden of Eden.
The Lord
established his ministries and his order of authority. Satan with military
precision goes to take out the Apostles and Prophets first. Example: “Miracles
went away with the Apostles” Neither
Miracles or Apostles were done away with. The Priest of that time teaching wrong
doctrine caused the word of God to be of none effect (null and void). The people
did not understand that and just accepted it. Result anyone claiming to be an
Apostle must be slain and persecuted. Spirit of God? Or Spirit of Mystery
Babylon?
Why would any who
love the Lord want to stay under the influence of this evil spirit Mystery
Babylon?? Why would any want to feed and nurture it and make sure it doesn’t
fail???
In each
of the Gatherings we have washed each others feet. Most of the things the Lord
does ask us to perform in our faith, come with promise. The washing of feet is
one example of this.
John
13:8, Peter
saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet, Jesus answered unto him, If I
wash thee not, thou hast no part with me... This right here, should be enough to cause us to perform the
washing of feet. It is a likeness of the Lord washing away our sins. It shows
the servant attitude of our Lord that we should adopt continually. If we wash
someone's feet we are showing the desire to have the Lord wash that person. We
should be asking the Lord to wash that person with His Blood as we wash their
feet. This is a very good example and position of intercession. It shows we are
willing servants to contribute to their salvation. If I wash thee not thou hast
no part with me. It is possible from reading that scripture that this act binds
the Body of Christ together in Jesus Christ.
John
13:13-16, Ye
call me Master and Lord; and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and
Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I
have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. Verily,
verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he
that is sent greater than he that sent him. If ye know these things, happy
are ye if ye do them....
According to the words of our Lord there is happiness in the performance of
these things. Why do we not take this more seriously? If you know these things
then you will be happy if you do them.
We have
seen this promise of happiness at work in the Gatherings. I’ve seen people
being very happy while washing the feet of the Brethren and having their feet
washed. There has been love in the room so thick you get the feeling a sinner
could not stay in the room and not be saved. In Atlanta, I watched people
actually being very happy, delighted smiling faces everywhere. It was a marvel
just to watch. There is also a very real bonding that takes place when we
perform this act of our faith. Can the mind of man understand how washing
another’s feet will make you happy? NO. Would satan want God’s people
practicing this? NO. The doctrines of men and devils says things like, we
don’t really have to do that. After all that was for that culture and time and
not for these days.
I’ve
seen people approach this as though it is to honor someone. This is in complete
error that is what Peter first thought when the Lord began to wash his feet.
I’ve seen at least one man try to wear the washing of feet like a medal of
honor. This is of the wrong spirit also. Nothing
the Lord tells us to do is just for religious ritual and caution should be taken
to make sure this doesn’t happen.
Before
I go on to the next subject, let me say that we are free to have church and to
worship 7 days a week.
The
greatest example of changing the covenant of God and probably one of the most
serious, is the Sabbath. Keeping the Sabbath is one of the Ten Commandments.
Jesus did not do away with the Sabbath. None of the first Apostles canceled the
Sabbath. In the time of those who wrote the Bible we read, this was not even an
issue. No one was suggesting it be changed. This was done in the Church that
Emperor Constantine founded, the Roman Catholic Church, Regulated by the
Government. We have discussed that it is Satan who works to change our doctrine
to keep us from the Power and Blessings of God's Covenant. This subject of the
Sabbath brings fierce indignation. Which leads me all the more to believe that
satan is truly afraid of us honoring and keeping the Sabbath.
Again,
this is a performance of the Covenant with Promise. Isaiah 58:13-14 If thou turn away thy foot from
the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a
delight, the holy of the Lord, honorable; and shalt honor him, not doing thine
own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words; Then
shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the
high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father;
for the
mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
Exodus
31:13-16 Speak
thou also unto the children of Israel, saying verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep
for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may
know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you. Ye shall keep the sabbath
therefore; for it is holy unto you; every one that defileth it shall surely be
put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off
from among his people. Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath,
to observe the sabbath throughout their generations for a perpetual covenant.
This means, the Sabbath and the command to keep it would not end. I
believe the Lord will enforce it during the millennium as He Reigns on the
Earth.
In
following the ministry of our Lord Jesus, we see that He healed many on the
Sabbath day. It was always a point of contention with the Pharisees. The
Pharisees were too legalistic about the Sabbath. They didn't understand the
Sabbath. It is just as legalistic
in Israel today. Flipping a light switch could be considered breaking the
Sabbath. Because God told them in the book of Exodus not to build a fire in
their dwellings on the Sabbath. So we can see today just how extreme men can
make things. This is a strong subject, it shouldn't be. The Sabbath is mentioned
one hundred and nineteen times in the bible. Under the law the penalty for
breaking the Sabbath was death but the promise of keeping the Sabbath is very
great. But then, the Sabbath is another part of the Covenant.
In Mark
Chapter 2:27, Jesus
said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath. If this day of the week is hallowed and blessed by God for man,
could it be the reason that Jesus healed so many on the Sabbath? Therefore the
Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath. The Sabbath in Israel begins on sundown
Friday and continues till sundown Saturday. The early church kept this part of
the covenant. We are not to be too legalistic, however we are not called to do
away with the law or our covenant and be a lawless people. Can you hear Satan
telling men, hey it’s not important just choose any day you want and the Lord
will honor that day.
I
submit this next scripture, just as an example of the Lord’s displeasure about
not keeping the Sabbath. Jeremiah
17 vs. 27 But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the Sabbath day, and
not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath
day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof and it shall devour the
palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
I have
seen many rationalizations and many false doctrines rise up to rationalize not
having to honor and keep the Sabbath. I know you have too. But if any one will
just do a word search on the subject of the Sabbath they will find there is just
no way around it without getting very creative.
Picture
a small child sitting down to a banquet left to his own will. He passes over all
the meats, all the vegetables, all the fruit and goes directly for this large
cake and begins to scrape off the icing, filling himself on the icing alone. Are
we not like this when we receive only those parts of the covenant that are
convenient, sweet and beautiful or only those parts we want.
In John
Chapter 15:10 If
ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my
Father's commandments and abide in His Love. In verse 12, the Lord says This is
my commandment, That ye love one another, AS I HAVE LOVED YOU. In verse 13, He
tells us how to measure this love;
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his
friends.
In the
definition of covenant, we see that it is a usually legally enforceable
arrangement between two or more parties. When the Lord gave this commandment, He
was also establishing the covenant between the brethren, the Body of Christ.
Your covenant is not just with the Lord but also with His Body, Your Brethren.
This is one of the most important aspects of your covenant walk with our Lord,
who gave His life for all.
The
Love of Christ among us is not proven or displayed by pretentious hugs and
smiles. Even the world does this with no effort. Anyone can do it. But we are a
special People and the Lord said, By this shall all men know that ye are my
disciples, If ye have love one to another. The
Lord wants the world to know, who are His true disciples and where they are.
I have
run up against what I can only call a Sunday School spirit or mentality many
times. It says that all things are cute and all things are acceptable. This has
been a real problem. Can you see the danger here. Would satan want to lull the
people of God into a Country Club or Sunday School mentality. Yes he would, it
is to his advantage if we do not understand the true ramifications of our faith
knowing It is about life and death.
I know
that I have offended some with this letter. It is strong. It is serious. But it
is important that we understand these foundational teachings. The Lord is
Calling His Church to Order and it is beginning now. There are many who will be
offended and many who will continue on as before. But there must be and will be
a remnant of God’s people who are willing to do things according to the word
of God and not the word or doctrines of men. Again this is not about legalism
but it is most definitely about getting into position to receive the Glory of
God on His remnant people in the Earth.
It is not
possible to cover everything that needs to be spoken in one of these News
Letters. I will be writing more that will bring things into more of a focus.
I have
heard some teach on Apostles, that there should be or will be an Apostle for
every Church or Fellowship. I don’t believe that. The Lord is not going to be
reproducing the systems of men by just changing the Pastors to Apostles. We have
located and discerned many Apostles in many cities in the United States and some
from overseas. The work is ongoing. But it will require all of the Ministries
called by God working together.
To come
to the Lord’s Order and Ways is to embrace it all as He has spoken. We will
start forming House Churches. But having Church in homes is not in and of itself
the answer. It is what we do with the Word, Order and Ways of the Lord.
I
don’t believe the Lord is wanting to raise up any new denominations. I don’t
believe the Lord is wanting to build any new Cathedrals. We do have to organize
and we do have to associate and fellowship. The thrust of the command to the
Church is to take this Gospel into all the World. It is to reach the Lost with
the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Lord will be calling many into the Final Harvest
and they must be sent.
As the
Apostles Gather in May in Oklahoma we will be discussing the details of all this
in greater measure. I don’t know exactly how much time we have but it really
isn’t much. The Day of the Lord is around the corner, a day of great and
terrible judgment. As individual members of this Great Body of Christ we need to
do all that is in our power to do right now while we still have time to work.
Being
under Grace does not excuse us to scrap the word of God and Covenant with God
Almighty. We are not saved by works but those of us who love the Lord and serve
Him in His Kingdom now, have a lot of work to do. Resist those doctrines and
FABLES that try to disarm you and keep you from being effective in your faith
and being prepared.
II
Timothy Chapter 4 vs. 3- For the
time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own
lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4- And they
shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
I hope
that you will make plans to be at the next Gathering in May in Oklahoma. We will
be discussing the “How to” of it all. It is important that all try to
attend. I will let you know the details as soon as everything is confirmed.
We are
still asking that all who say they are Apostles send an email telling us why you
say you are an Apostle and the testimony of your walk with the Lord. Put Apostle
Testimony in the subject line and include your phone number. We have been
interviewing men at the Gatherings but it saves time to do it before the
Gathering.
I do
love you all and I sincerely pray that you will seek the Lord and find His
understanding about this. Take Courage in the Lord our God. Honoring the Lord
with our lips and our hearts being far from Him, is not the way to go. It is
time to give much more than lip service to what the Lord is doing in the earth
right now. In Matthew Chapter 11 verse 6 Jesus said,—And blessed is he,
whosoever shall not be offended in me.
God
Bless You with the Riches of His Glory in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Love
