Folly in the Church

My heart is torn within me. There is a deception within the believers of today. Drawing away their strength, wasting their time, stunting their growth. Lord awaken within all who would read this a fire, burning up the doctrines of man. For they have infected the faithfull, pulled them from following You with their complete being.

The Lord has spoken "Heaven is my throne, the earth is my footstool." Do we not believe this? Where do you want to be? Before the throne? Or embroiled in the constructions of man? The earth here, dear saints, is not simply the dirt. The physical. Is God concerned with the physical? Is He a environmentalist? Do you lessen the supreme gift He gave man of a free will? And by that the desire of His heart to have man as a family? A people that would call upon Him, love Him openly and by choice?

Yet you judge what is important, weighing the nations of man, the events of history as significant to God. There is only one event that is significant, and that is the laying of the foundation of His family. The ministry of Christ before the Father, interceding on our behalf. Opening the way to eternal life with God, before the throne.

Yet you want eternal life here on earth, by some imagination of how He will bring about judgment of all you deem important. You want to govern the earth by the example you see before you, by believers in this office or that, ruling for eternity. Oh, I believe in the end of all things. In the final judgment. I believe we will rise at His call.

But why dear ones, do you persist in deciding how that will come about? Why do you focus on this realm? Looking for signs, praying for what you believe to be the beginning of the end? Exerting yourself, preparing yourself for a transformed earth? What a colossal mistake to focus on these things. Dear ones, do you not feel it? Do you not read it in the word? Every act, every step of the way, He is calling, desiring man to turn to Him.

We have no need of any other purpose. If you work for God, you work to build His family, not for what you think is appropriate as the coming judgment. If you live for a glorious eternity in His presence, then work to get in His presence now, and to bring others. Saints, if you have been anointed by the Holy Spirit, I challenge you to deeply seek His highest purpose.

The life in me, the very Spirit of God, leaps to serve the saints. It longs to worship God for ever before the throne, in the Holy city, in the uncountable number who have become descendants of our Father. That life is ever pressing me forward, pushing me toward a fuller expression of His fullness. It thrives in fellowship, grasps onto the faith in those I meet with. That Spirit burns my foolishness, torches away vain thoughts and emotional folly.

And that same Spirit brings great pain to my heart when I see dear ones placing their hope in this realm. Why do you long for the so called end times? The Spirit in me longs for the growth of Christ NOW! For the salvation of those around me, for the service of the body in this age and locality. What benefit is there in living for a day of judgment? Are you baptized into His death? Then you must live by His life. Of what concern is it to you how or when all things come to a close?

I will tell you now, the deceiver is at work in these doctrines. Giving credence to physical locations. Causing beloved saints to value heredity, culture, and the governments of man as somehow special to God. The essence of this draws one to look towards wars, famines, and disasters. Looking towards the physical Israel as somehow special. As some importance to God.

God loves each and every man. He paid a very high price, unknowable to you or I, so we could access Him. And He fulfilled His promise to the physical descendants of Abraham. He came to them first. Done. The door is open. All can walk into the presence of God. Praise God for all Eternity! The promise is fulfilled.

Have you fallen into a trap? Do you think God wants to save Israel more than Syria? Or Ethiopia? Or Japan? Any other place? Do you think He cares about a physical temple? Do you not know that you are the temple? You have been tricked, duped and led down a path of denial. Yes, denying the extent of His work. If you are His temple, do you then believe He looks someplace else? Is a Jewish reconstruction of some physical place any more important than a Budhist temple to God?

Will He return to respecting the physical? Will he forego the complete work of the new covenant? Or do you somehow not think it is complete? Because that is the evil result of such doctrines. Lessening the fullness of the Messiah's perfect ministry. Either you walk in it now, or it is just a incomplete work. And if the same Spirit dwells in you that fills my heart, if that amazing gift has come upon you, how can you look to the physical realm for any importance at all?

Do you know what will come to pass? Will you counsel God as to the future? Do you believe that a man, or groups of men in the church, however beloved they are, full of wisdom, full of the Spirit, can tell you what will come to pass? I do not discount God's ability to reveal the future through the body. Or denigrate any man, or groups of men, especially those in ministry. I am but a worm, dust under their feet. A very lone voice in a far off place.

But the life in me is resounding with passion, burning against the divisive promotion of end times doctrines. You who are enamored with this imagination, filled with hope and longing for the day, OPEN YOUR EYES!!!! You are blind, and can not see the Body of Christ right in front of you. Promoting any action towards this is vanity, empty work. A waste of time and energy. Turn yourself over to the Spirit and the Living Word!

Is He here? Where two or more are gathered, yes? So live like it! Have you received the Spirit of God? Then you MUST be part of the building! Built into that which is before the throne of God, in Heaven, in the Eternal realm. Express that life here and now! There is nothing to wait for, the promise of eternal life is here. Grow strong in it, live in it, be dead to everything else.

The folly of presumption is rampant in the church. The false imagination of speculation. Do you long for mansions of glory? Search deep for the source of that longing. Is it for your satisfaction? Do you long to be with the Lord? That the life you have now is just a temporary inconvenience until you are taken up? Fall on your face before Him. You are here for a purpose. If you have no joy in that purpose, have no fulfillment, no experience of God working through you than your walk is empty.

Use your will saints. Turn away from emptiness and to the fountain of eternal life. The water flows from the throne. Can you drink that water now? Can you? If you can, than you are getting into the Eternal Realm, getting into the Kingdom. Bring that life forward into this age, where you live! Be the expression of God now! Do not trust my words, ask Him yourself. Ask God "Lord do you want me to be a source of life in this place?" What answer do you expect? Inquire of the Lord even more. Be specific "Is it the end times right now? And what should I do?" Seriously saints, with the utmost honesty and fear, lay down before Him and ask.

I will end with this. I mean no offense to any who hold close to these doctrines. But prove them against what you absolutely must know is the highest purpose of God. That purpose is to draw man to Himself, and has been done in Christ. Who are we to decide when that ends? As numerous as the grains of sand. As many as the stars. I put my faith in those promises. In the redemption and salvation of all man in this age and those to come until the end of ages. Believing, placing your faith in anything else is a waste.

If you believe that God desires man, calls him to walk together, how can you then have decided for yourself when that ends? And in that decision, you have short circuited the faith. You no longer stand in the center of the powerful movement of the Spirit. You can justify yourself with interpretations of scripture. But you can not stand before the Lord with a open heart and say "I work for the coming judgment more than I work for Your expression of Eternal Life now."

Don't fall into this trap dear ones. And if I have brought offense to any, forgive me. The Spirit inside of me has pushed me, prodded me. And I intend to sharpen all of you. Focus on the now, on expressing the Body of Christ now. Be a functioning member in your community, on the strong foundation of His ministry. Our focus is toward the expression of His will, to draw all men, to heal, to comfort, to fill with life. This purpose is ten thousand times more important than any other. If I hear some interpretation of the end, I count it waste had I not heard of ten thousand messages filled with life for growth now.

And it is utter foolishness to promote this in the world. Judgment has been meted out upon the natural realm. It is cursed. The end of all thing is death and decay. Even those who dwell in the darkness can see that. Yet we, who live in the light, promote fear and imaginative fiction as a motivator to come to the Lord? How is that a light to those in darkness? And when so many stray into actually foretelling of this event and that event, then those times come and go, and the world looks to all with derision and scorn. As rightly they should! Such foolishness!

When I bring someone into the church, to find life, to get healing, to be ministered to in such a way, what do they hear in this day? Message after message about the end. Your natural man wants to know, and to appease that man, possibilities and speculation is proposed and feasted upon. That natural man lives in these imaginations, but the spirit is not nourished. Feed each other the life you find before the throne. And in that, those on the outside will be drawn to life.

Bless you all, Jesus is the Eternal King, and this realm, this age, is under His feet. Lord lead us from distraction, guide us to the expression of Your life here and now. Be the fullness in our midst. You cause us to grow. Grow Your city Lord! Grow Your Kingdom! Let Your family be increased! And be Glorified in this work forever.
