Christ Today Fellowship

We must face facts, and come forth with the truth as the Lord inspires us.

It is very obvious the majority of the organizations are as much politically motivated as the political parties. I am speaking of the denominations calling themselves Church. As far as I can see there is but one Church, and the head of it is the Lord Jesus Christ, and it includes all of mankind. I know there is strong disagreement with this statement. This is not new, Jesus himself had strong opposition from the religious leaders of His day. I know people expect us to name names of the ones politically motivated. This is not important as to their name, the important issue is to bring forth truth that the ones associated with this kind of order, may see the light and depart from them. We recognize we are a vessel the Lord has formed and breathed himself into. This is the day the Son of God will come forth in a body. His body is made up of many members, not motivated by the life of Adam, they recognize Adam is dead. Knowing who you are in Christ and who Christ is in you, will cause the light to shine forth as the noon day. Let Him that has an ear hear what the Sprit is saying. Some may disagree with what is being said. The seed of truth is coming forth, God planted each one of us in the earth. This seed will bring forth after its kind. Don’t you know you are the offspring of God. You are not going to bring forth any thing else but God. The end result is very good. Your life is hid in Christ in God. You live but my Brother\Sister it is not you but Christ lives, moves, and has His being in you. Therefore you live, move. and have your being in Him. Are you the fullness of Christ? Of course not, but joined to the rest of the body you are complete. God did not send His Son to save a few He sent Him to save the world. In the plan of God there is nothing that will be changed, added too, or taken from. You see it was finished before the foundation of the world. You were chosen in him and ordained for this day.

Now the question is who shall deliver us from the evil that is upon earth. It is not the politician, it is the promise of the Lord. The glory of the Lord will fill the earth as the sands of the sea. Don’t you know that glory, is the Christ glorified in His Saints. I know the teaching we were taught, is the Saints are the one that acknowledge Jesus as their personal Savior. Not so the Saints are chosen in Him from the foundation of the world. According to Scripture, man was crucified with Christ. All in Adam died. Therefore we are something beside Adam. Scripture also teaches we are a new creation Created in Christ Jesus. Therefore we are not our own we belong to Him 100% We know if we live or die, in the body of flesh or out of it, We are the Lords. Who among you can tell the Lord you are not His possessions? He lets us know we are not our own, we are His. There is not a person on earth doing anything that the Lord didn’t permit. He is the creator of both good and evil, and He take full responsibility for it. Most from an early age were taught, the out of control power of the devil, ramping and raging through the land causing God all kinds of problems. He is waiting to catch you off guard so he can cast you into a burning hell. I am sure that most of the older generation can remember the fear experienced when going to that wicked show, sitting there in fear, Jesus may come and you are sure to be left behind to suffer and eventually end up in hell.

This all may sound like I am coming strongly against the Church, when in fact I am saying it is important for us to realize, Jesus Christ Himself is the head of the Church, and He takes full responsibility for all that goes on among His congregation. His Church is not a building on the corner in some City. His Church is the world and all that is in it. I want to assure you He is in complete control of every portion of His Church. Out of one lump of clay He brought forth every Man, Woman, and Child. Every race came from the same lump, nothing can change this fact. In Christ you are all one. In His order and plan, He causes all things to function according to His will. He chose your genes and you will function according to His plan and will for your life. I want to bring in some Scripture concerning good and evil.

It is clear that God takes responsible for His creation. Regardless how we mull it over in our minds, He created all things, and is all power, both in heaven, and earth. He planted both trees in the garden.

Also when it comes to your free will, to serve God or not. He purchased you, you are not your own. He has given you a job to do to fulfill His plan. You can make choices as to what path you are going to take, but all paths lead to Home, just as all Rivers flow to the sea. There is a straight narrow way, or there is a broad way that has many hard and suffering experiences awaiting those who chose to go its way.

It is hard for the natural mind, in fact it is impossible for one to understand the things of God, when depending on our own intellectual ability. Reading the Bible is commendable, however this is not how we are enlightened. When we understand, Jesus, proclaimed us to be the Light of the world, we then can see the truth, and life, is not separated from us, but in fact is us.

Thus life, and truth, abides within, searching for answers outside of ourselves brings us to the realm of knowledge of good, and evil. This in turn brings the frustration of types, and shadows, which with the carnal mind is still a mystery, as to what God has completed, as far as creation is concerned. As long as man embraces teaching of types and shadows, and of a soon coming Lord, they are spiritually blind. Not having seen, nor has it come to their understanding, the finished work of the cross.

Because of the lack of understanding, and failure to accept the fact, we are Son’s of God, and we are set free from the bondage of sin and death.

Hear what we are taught in Galatians 4: 4- 7 “But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.”

The Law was a school master, bringing us to the place of maturity, where the promise of the Father was fulfilled, to redeem us back to Himself through the Lord Jesus Christ. He has given us the light and truth, of being complete in Christ. We come to the fullest state: the greatest extent, or highest degree as a member of Christ Body. He has appeared and we are like Him, for we see Him as He is. This in no way implies that Man is going to see us in the state of completeness. It is all in how the Spirit has revealed it to you, not intellectually but in the mind of the Spirit in the inner man. This working of the Spirit in the inner man brings forth the glory of the Father which shines forth for all to see. So like the Song my Friend Linda Musgrove sings, “He is working from the inside out.” Another Friend of mine Georgia Smith wrote the Song “We are Him” I wonder can we hear what the Spirit is saying not only in word, but song as well.

It is a fact there are those who have been raised to great heights, in the organized world of religious order. Ministering to the multitudes the acceptable words of their organization. But Father’s will for them was to come into a greater light. What do you suppose happened when they begin teaching the truths of the indwelling Christ, and the Love of God, for all mankind. The all inclusive Father, bringing all men to the light of His Son the Lord Jesus Christ. Leaving none out. What happens to a Minister who does this? He is disowned, not only by the head of the organization, but by His own congregation. Where once thousands gathered to listen every Sunday, Now there is but a hand full. God raises men up and pulls them down. He is God and He is responsible for all things.

We need to make clear the full manifestation of the Son’s of God has taken place in the Spirit of God. “He that is joined to the Lord is one Spirit”
