My Church

MY CHURCH

I want to start teaching on what My Church was like in the beginning, pre-Rome. So many lies abound on both sides, Protestant and Catholic and Orthodox. You are to reveal these as I reveal them to you, for they are a plague. Money, influence and power will always be behind the doors of a corrupted faith.   

Remember what I told My people concerning the Pharisees?  

“The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.” Matthew 23:2-3   

Yes, power, influence, wealth, and control have distorted much of what I have taught and what Holy Spirit has taught down through the ages.

Never did I choose to have one ruler lording it over My Church, as the Roman aristocracy did. All these forms and customs served their purpose for a short time, but quickly gave way to the private interests of the wealthy and influential. When the Faith went to Rome, the political ways of state began to overpower the simplicity of My apostles. Women were rejected in ministry and homosexuality was rife.

This is NOT the proper order for My Church. What is the proper order is the way it began, meeting together in the home, in poverty and simplicity. Cathedrals were not My idea; they are an abomination to Me. They are a place where the caste system is enforced and every level of moral corruption is used to gain influence.   

THIS WAS NOT MY IDEA. I cannot state this emphatically enough. 

Treasure simplicity. Abhor pretence and position. Do not seek these things, lest Satan make sport of you. Rather, seek to embrace the lowliness of a fisherman, and I will make you fishers of men.” 

Most of you are in the dark because you have been kept in the dark. Religiosity and Religious spirits have formed most misinformed minds. Departures from the Truth by many men seeking to start their own church have introduced error and misinformation into the churches they began. This has made most of, if not all of the Christian faiths seriously lacking in the foundation I laid down in Jerusalem. 

Firstly, I would like to make it clear to all that this church is My Church from its inception. I did not introduce politics, power and money to My Church—that was man’s invention and Satan’s premeditated plan. He knew that power and prestige would sweep through the Church and transform it into a worldly institution, making room for every kind of evil. 

I chose the Apostles who would be the foundation. I introduced the helps or sacraments that would give strength to mankind to overcome sin. And it was My Holy Spirit that descended into the upper room on Pentecost. That was the empowerment from on high that launched 'The Way' or My Church, which went by many names. It was My Church that went to Rome and became entangled in the ways of men, which I am undoing now—never, ever, to be brought to life again.   

“My Church is not in the halls of the great; it is in the hearts of the little who have received Me and live for Me. These are My living stones and they shall once again be the structure of My Church. And as I promised, the gates of Hell have not prevailed against these.   

Modern churches have turned the faith into a money-making industry. This is abhorrent to Me. I repeat: this is abhorrent, detestable, and nauseating to Me. How many people go into ministry to make money? More than you would care to know. How many sift the church for different programs to build up a prosperous company, not a holy place to dwell?  

I know well the nature of man, and that is why My Church must be made up of cells that function together well within the Body, being a support to one another. Not competitive TV ministries, big names, and big business organizations.  

My church was the olive groves, the beaches of the Sea of Galilee. My lessons were punctuated by lost coins, candles, sheep, and vinedressers. If you observe Me carefully in how I taught, it was always with simplicity and clarity that reached the lowest common denominator of men, women and children. I did not teach with long treatises, ten-letter words and the accent of the wealthy. I taught in total simplicity the most profound truths, that anyone in an agrarian society would instantly grasp. 

I am not condemning scholarly works. I am merely pointing you in the direction of My style of preaching. Today, you might use smart phones to illustrate a point, where back in the day, I used the leaven of the Pharisees or the an old wineskin with new wine. I am not saying you must be archaic from My days on Earth. But I am saying that your teachings must illustrate Truth, and at the same time, appeal and be understood to the common man.  

I have nothing against getting the Word or illustrations of the Word out to the people, and for this many are forced to use advertising. What I do object to is the monetization of these resources and the cults worshiping different teachers. And the arguing and in-fighting that goes on between teachings. 

If you, My people, could accompany Me into Heaven, you would see the highly exalted ones are housewives, street preachers, living a simple life. Missionaries. All who live for Me and take no thought for the values of this world. These are souls consumed with love of Me, not love of Money. 

Do you see, Children? Do you comprehend? The style of Christianity that is lived today bears no resemblance whatsoever to how I lived. Except among the missionaries of the world. Not all of you are called to this kind of poverty. But Kings and Queens have set aside their riches to live as I lived in the privacy of their quarters, because they found the meaning of Life in My company. If you have all the world at your disposal but have not Me—you are indeed a pauper. The lowest way, dear ones, is the highest. The last place is the preferred place. To wash My disciple’s feet was to Me a royal honour. I came to serve, not to be served. I came to obey, even to the point of an ignominious death. I came to give, not to be given to. Nor to collect the riches and perks of the World. 

So, I am giving you an opportunity to live very similarly to the way I lived, so that your entire heart may be focused on Me and our relationship. These restrictions are not privations; they are protections. Set the world outside your door but come to Heaven dwelling in your own tiny quarter, because we are together.   

‘Monastery’ comes from the word meaning ‘live alone’. But you are not alone. You are one on One with Me. So, this is the meaning and reason for Evangelical poverty. You live entirely on Providence and have what I determine you need. If I do not provide it, then it must not be necessary. This is the heart attitude I wish for you to live. 

Now about division in the Body, My People, please refrain from divisions. Do you know how Satan creates division? Very simply he preys on your individual tastes, fears and preferences. He gathers that data, then whoever he wants to bring down, he points out things contrary to your liking. If you are naive, foolish - without charity and wisdom, you then pick at that ministry because you don’t like what they are doing, though it is innocent and without fault. Take, for instance, worship. Each of you have preferences for worship. Each of you think yours is the best way. Each of you has divergent tastes in music, and each of you think your taste is the holiest and most effective. Oh, how mistaken you are! Satan sees your like and dislike and attacks that ministry through you because it doesn’t suit you.

Whether it be fear or ignorance, something in you doesn’t accept it. So you begin to believe lies about those who minister that way. You fall in with the dissenters and build a head of steam. Denouncers come forward, finding fault in everything that ministry does. They are all things you yourself are afraid of or don’t like. Or don't understand. So, you are eager to detract from them. Once you open your mouth against them, Satan collects two scores: a demon just entered through a door of criticism into your life - and now you will be sifted. Others are provoked into detraction and criticism and the ministry is injured. That means all the souls I sent to that ministry, because of its uniqueness to minister just to them, are attacked by lying spirits of division and calumny. Many of those souls are but babes in Me and cannot discern a lying spirit, and certainly don't expect Christians to lie about one another. So they turn away and go back to wandering aimlessly out of fear of deception, though nothing about that ministry was deceptive. They can’t find a home, but Satan follows them until they are so isolated and down-trodden that a kind New Ager can come along and show them compassion and draw them into false doctrines, which Satan applauds and does not undermine or send spirits of division to. So, in essence, you have become the devil’s tools to undo the work I am doing.

How tragic! You no longer work for Me, you have taken sides with the enemy. Recall how Paul handled the Scribes and the Pharisees who came against him before the Sanhedrin: 

“Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, ‘Brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee. It is because of my hope in the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.’ As soon as he had said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.” Acts 23:6-7 

So, you see, this tactic is age old, divide and conquer. You think rock and roll is in bad taste, another thinks Gregorian chant is too stuffy, religious and without meaning - so the devils pit you against one another. One is prejudiced against speaking in tongues, another is prejudiced against soaking prayer, another is prejudiced against a personal and intimate, pure relationship with Me and yet another thinks it is only fitting to talk with God on their knees from a million miles away. May I say I listen to and answer all, no matter what their preference is but you would take sides and condemn one because it isn’t your way? This is so grievous to Me. When will you unite yourselves together in My heart and stop these useless quarrels? Don’t you see you are being used? Played? All of this divisiveness is hurting Me and separating brothers and sisters who should be united.

Now about the My shepherds, many elders in the church have overstepped their boundaries not understanding that their role is to confirm and instruct but not take over the responsibility of directing a soul to do this or that, and certainly never insisting that their way is right and the soul is wrong. It is My job to convict a soul to do or not do something. So be careful, dear ones, how you handle one another so you do not presume on My role in their life. Humility, gentleness and patience are always the virtues needed when one is in question about important issues in their lives. From the dawning of time, I have worked through the conscience of men, women and children. They need not be told what to do, they know it in their hearts. You are there to help them discover that and get a confirmation from Me. Never insist that you alone have the answers. Pride is abhorrent to Me and much damage is done to tender souls when pressure is exerted inappropriately. 

When you are a minister and you are in pride, not only do you fall, but all the others who have attended you, listened to you, believed in you, they fall as well. Satan lies in wait for ministers, he provokes them to judge, then he despoils them.

To the rest of My mature Christians I say, consider your ways. Have you really lived for Me and answered My call, or have you preferred your comforts? Do you value Me enough to die for Me, or will you continue to walk away and protect them? For you, there will come a time when you are forced off the fence. Know that this time is at the door and your eternity is at stake.

Do you think that being a Christian by name will save you from Hell? Please think again. God will not be mocked. I will not be made sport of. Either you are hot or cold. The lukewarm will go through the fire and be saved only if they cleave to Me above their children, families, jobs, and even lives.

To you I also say: never doubt My presence and My eagerness to forgive you. I am always with you, waiting for that moment when you will see the seriousness of your condition and turn to Me with your whole heart.
