Today is Sunday. Everyone has an idea what church is and they are not disappointed. At it's very least it is a framework of vehicle, a space, where we can connect with God to the level we choose and let Him speak to us, and we can learn payer and we can learn the wonderful protoccols of singing praise, and singing truths.
Church is currently a
synagogue run by one teacher with additional elements according to the church. Either a belief and practice of baptism in the Spirit where more freedoms are involved, and we get to practice some measure of gifts of the Spirit.
The Old Testament priests carrying the Ark is some sort of meme for us.
6 steps then sacrifice.
This can be the basic concept of the week. 6 work days. 6 activity days. One day of rest.
Or you can break down each obedience activity into six simple steps God asks us to take, but the seventh step is Him.
The more spiritual people forget the steps. They forget the field with the treasure in.
The more practical people forget to believe through the seventh step of doing nothing.
As we grow , the idea is to take the spiritual sensitivity we have learned through spiritual gatherings outside the meeting room.
This is a 'young man activity' in 1 John 2.
Galatians 2.20 is taking the fact of our death in Christ right through every aspect of natural life. It's a superadvanced version of Proverbs 3.6 where we just acknowledged an out there God.
Now we do Proverbs 3. 6 not just with an IN HERE God......but acknowledging there's hardly an IN ANYTHING...because our main identity died inside Jesus Christ ....and the IN HERE at spirit level is Christ Chris. Christ Jane. Christ Ayo.
All of the Genesis 3 condition screams at the truth of the Blood of Jesus, the Cross of Jesus. And so they should.
It's the END OF ALL THE SATANIC LIE OF THE INDEPENDENT SELF.
But it sure makes for different churches.
We thought adding the Holy Spirit Genie changed our churches. But as we looked in the Spirit we could still see lots of people trying to add their Christinity , their church life on top of the dualist separation way of living.
The Father spoke into Darkness and said "Let there Be Light".
Do you know that the 4 LIVING BEINGS are scanned as TYPES across the human race?
This isnt a new idea, although as we share these things you'd have thought we were saying something really radical.
Choleric, sanguine, pragmatic and melancolic are descriptions that are really old. Now , as I keep repeating , many bookstores carry Surrounded by Idiots. Waterstones , Portsmouth UK were displaying these last week.
Every Spirit Word coming out of human mouths is fiercely contested.
The Mark Quartile feel it some of the worst because they aren't always that articulate . They are articulate in everything they do . But sooner or later , either by gathered experience, or passionate study into something or under the anointing of the Spirit , they become extremely articulate.
When Stan Warren first came into Bible House 47 years ago , he described the House as a runaway horse. His favorite Biblical maxim at the time was " Seek God and Live". Which is a cracker!!!
Eventually , as a leader type, he gained the articulation to begin calling the house into order.
Luke type people don't like uttering things until they feel they have the authority to, and their way of gaining that is reading and studying hard to get an all round grasp on the subject.
The prophetic Quartile , The St John Quartile are honoured and perplexed in equal fashion. Honoured to be able to vocalise things literally materialising on earth out of heaven. The Lord's Prayer is such an utterance. But until it crystallises we are often dumb. We can't begin to share or put shape to what begins much like a cloud the size of a man's hand.
For 20 years after meeting Norman Grubb's Zerubbabel group I did not have facility in being able to share about the third stage of Christianity. I got a break through in 2008 being the new expression on the earth called blogging , then Facebook.
In 1974 several of us from the UK, around 16 to 18, went for the summer youth event that Mother Basilea Schlink and the sisters of Mary ran on their grounds called Canaan, in Darmstadt, Germany.
One of the singers in the Christian Band 11.59 which played in the big 1972 Jesus Festival Trafalgar Square event of 25,000, was returning home on the train with me , and we couldn't really explain what we had just experienced and learned. It was really Romans 6 and 7 , which we could talk about later.
My Christian friends back home just called me superspiritual. I reminded the still living friend about this 50 years on, last summer, just simply because I think she needed to know.
One day in 1981 God granted me articulation in some way , in some measure with my Dad and Mum in Normal Heights area of San Diego where they were living on a teaching contract.
Truly we had lived from 1972 to 1981 without that portion of understanding about what I was really doing. I have written most about this here.....but I don't think any quartile gets off lightly. There are things we are called by God to say as completely different quartile functions that are equally difficult , because they are actually GOD STUFF. We can speak in the flesh as easy as anything.....but these are statements that are filled with the Divine power to change things on earth . Like acorns or mustard seed they may look really small , but they have God's DNA and Power in so they grow inordinately and unexpectedly.
A reflection from a poor navigator Yesterday, I made 5 navigational errors using an OS Map in my attempt to walk
from The Tradesman’s Inn at Scorriton to Chagford. It was always billed as a
long walk, 18.5 miles, but my unplanned variations added an extra 2.5
miles…and that was with an off-route shortcut in the final few miles to The
Chagford Inn, Chagford. In terms of time, the walk lasted over 10 hours – about 2 extra hours. The lesson? Many old basic map reading skills were put to the test. Distances, counting
steps, compass direction, landscape, shapes of roads, wearing glasses (!),
taking time at junctions…all in relation to studying the 1:25000 OS Map. Leave one of these elements out and…5 minutes later, and you’re way off track
and need to correct. A parable? There’s much talk from politicians, and activists such as Tommy Robinson,
calling on us to return to our Christian heritage, values, and belief, as if
we’ve strayed. The seemingly spontaneous Union Jack and English flag movements
marches, and protests are, of course, in direct opposition to the alliance of
the Far Left and radical Islamist marches chanting ‘Free Palestine from the
River to the Sea’ and calling for the destruction of the State of Israel; the
aim of both groups. This in turn, is a reaction to the Israeli actions in
Gaza, killing 70,000 Gazans in an attempt to rid the menace posed by Hamas who
orchestrated the murderous attack against unarmed civilians in Israel on
7th
October 2023, taking hostage 251 and murdering 1,195. How to process this spiritually. Most English and British folk know they are not Muslims, and are not
attracted to Islam, certainly not the version of Islam that exports terror and
death to anyone who fails to submit to Allah and Mohammad i.e. infidels. But it is equally true to say that most English folk rejected the form of
Christianity that required attendance at Sunday services for Communion, ie
‘organised religion’. Christianity, for many, was hollowed out and became a
shell of the original firebrand glory associated with the miracles and mass
following of Jesus as recorded in the New Testament. Into the spiritual void has poured materialistic alternatives such as
atheism, agnosticism, and humanism. And for those who see through materialism
to an unseen spiritual dimension: Buddhism, Eastern mysticism, New Age,
spiritualism, Yoga, and many variants, has attracted thousands if not millions
of thirsty for inner illumination and soul food. With arch atheist, Richard Dawkins, describing himself as a ‘cultural
Christian’, acknowledging that his whole moral framework within which his
moral sensitivities are exercised, is derived from our collective Christian
heritage, we seem to be facing an uncomfortable truth. That truth is simply this. The Law of Moses as handed down in the Old
Testament, and the gospel of grace in the New Testament has been the roadmap
for England and the rest of the Unite Kingdom and much of Europe, for over ten
centuries, shaping our culture, its institutions, and traditions – for example
Christmas. If you visit a bible-believing church of any denomination this Sunday (there
are plenty churches that have long since dropped the notion of scriptural
authority) you will quickly pick up the two guardrails, even if left unsaid,
that act like an OS Map, and keep us on track. 1. We are no longer under law but under grace Rom 6v14 2. The Law acted as our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ so that we may be
justified by faith Gal 3v24 One further verse will give us a window into the spiritual pinch-point that
we are currently experiencing. ‘For the Law was given through Moses but grace and truth came through Jesus
Christ’ John 1v17 The gospel (Greek for good news) is this: the law is good but it can’t
produce perfect behaviour or spiritual maturity in us. It accurately points
out our faults, transgressions, and sins, and shows us that although we are
trapped in sin, it can’t save us or deliver us. All that sin was placed on
Jesus on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice, and so, by having faith
that this is so, we are given a priceless gift (grace means free gift); if we
repent from struggling on our own (Christian or not), and receive the gift of
eternal life and righteousness. We emerge forgiven, cleansed, and live a new
life relying on Christ not ourselves. But right now, in 2025, there is a real need to revisit Gal 3v24, and
reacquaint ourselves with the Law – in essence to go back to school. Not, I
must add, to be placed under the law and regulate our lives by self-effort to
do the right thing, or resurrect organised religion, and end up duty bound to
observe a range of sacraments or rituals, but to rediscover the moral
framework, which we fail to meet, so that we’re brought to Christ
Himself. This walk I am on, the Two Moors Challenge, Coast to Coast, is a seven day
trek with taking Saturday, today, as a sabbath, a rest day. It is forcing me
to go back to school – navigational school.
Britain will not return to Christ by waving flags, by marching, by
bemoaning our lost heritage. The harder miles will require us to open our
bibles and read Deuteronomy, read the OT commandments, find out what God
loves and what He considers to be detestable, or abominable. Sparks will fly
when this is at odds with our Parliamentary Law. The gospel – the good news – can only be truly appreciated when it dawns on
us that the Law is good, but that we cannot and have not kept it and need
forgiveness an the new way of grace and truth contained in Christ. If, and only if we take this journey, will our churches be filled with
those who have been well-schooled by the law and sing for joy that they have
been led to the escape route which is Christ Himself and the love of God,
not a false version of Christianity that preaches law without grace; Moses
without Christ, religion without Jesus. To conclude, Richard Dawkins is right. He has inherited his moral compass,
not from some vague Christian heritage, fading as it might be, but from holy
writ, the Bible. But, whilst he is looking to the past, the past is not the
right place to look. It’s the wrong end of the telescope. No one needs to
look at the retreating tide of historical Christianity, that admittedly gave
us so much; church buildings built in the shape of the cross on which Christ
died for us, is one visible heritage. No, to start requires two simple steps. One is to convert your questions
into the cry of the human heart and open up, direct your thoughts,
frustrations, longings to God – even if you’re uncertain whether He exists
or listens. Secondly, walk over to your bookshelf, and take your bible off
the shelf, or download a free version of an online bible, and start reading.
I suggest start with John’s gospel. Tomorrow, I take to the road again, confident in one thing; it’s likely
that I shall still make navigation errors but that my map, compass, and eyes
will come to my rescue, if I stop relying on my instincts alone.
We were designed at two levels , that's why materialism is the great thief .
Nevertheless Jesus spent 30 years getting the natural realm under his belt in the Father .
Then He was baptised in the Spirit and learned the protocols of ' His Master's House / His Abba Father'. He trained a pioneer 12 in Zöe life or heaven originated natural living , and in the brand new priesthood that was not Levitical .
So the 12 learned 30 years of life skills off God come in the flesh plus new Holy Spirit priesthood protocols freshly learned by Jesus, but admittedly down to the wire , with their crucified and resurrected Teacher , in only 42 months.
Ecclesia was this brand new vessel in the earth of 12 1 John 2 father level co -teachers and miracle workers , training the 120 and the thousands of new believers in the new and living way .
This living process which is Revival Presence based just as OT wilderness people were Pillar of fire and pillar of cloud based , is described in Revelation 12 as a Woman being OverShadowed by the Holy Spirit to bring forth a ManChild .
The ' begetting ' is in two forms .
Birthing new born again believers .
Forming Galatians 2.20 believers this time in their souls as their new spirit man grows into the whole of their life .
The mystery of ecclesia lost for generations is the formation crucible of 1 Corinthians 12.
1. Holy Spirit contributions from all
2. Holy Spirit contributions from ministries ( 14 types in Pauls 3 lists )
3. Holy Spirit direct operations .
All of this plus communion in ch 11( yup Im puzzled by the headcoverings still ), plus the revelation of how different the Body parts are (1 Cor 12:14-26) are the training in the single eye we lost in Genesis 3.
Who is ready for real ecclesia , real single eye training , real Jesus loving and following , and One Ecclesia under One Head emerging and manifesting in every location ?
Our generation got to secondlevel churches quite quickly , but we had no thirdlevellers as skilled in zöe living as heavenly protocols .
The Untold Truth Behind Michael W Smith's Rise to Fame
I chose the 13th Minute , ironically not for this particular 1991 album "Go West Young Man", because the albums that connected big time with the Crossover from Charismatic to All of Life, to The third level were these Michael W Smith i to eye Amy Grant - Lead Me on U3 Joshua Tree Whiteheart Freedom
We are running a bit separately to the States here in the UK. The Pastor King model has featured here including sattellite TV then online TV, but it hasn't had the impact of the big mega platforms, and already as early as the period we were at university in the 70s, and during the Input that came from the Fort Lauderdale Bible Weeks , there was something else happening.
A friend from one of the other Exeter University halls, as well as Raymond Short's daughter (BBC Songs of Praise Producer) who had married Peter Ashton, these pople had already become part of the thirdlevel message church that Sam Fife had been used to found at Fishers Pond Colden Common near Southampton.
Music was trying to make the whole of life leap, but the real keys were articulated only later in 1985 in Norman Grubb's book Yes I Am.
Norman you remember wrote the Missions book of the Co founding of Worldwidw Evangelisation Crusade WEC on CT Studd former England Cricketer turned Congo missionary. Norman wrote Rees Howells Intercessor, one of the key books which recall the growth stages behind the Call to Disempower the Three Dictators around World War Two , who unchecked would have made the last 60 years missionary progress nearly impossible.
Personally I have spent 38 years puzzling my way between the secondlevel charismatic realm , and deeper life Evangelical realm , into a workable ecclesia like the one Jesus formed with not one but 12 thirdlevel leaders who had been to the bottom and the foundation upon the Rock was their own testimony which I beleve John is referring to in 1 John 1.
Only the anointing can break through mismatches in the belief realms. And this is already what is happening with Michael W Smith's first albums. They weren't American Christian as a musical form. Neither was U2 Joshua Tree coming out of the experience of the division in Ireland, having one Protestant parent and one Catholic Parent as did Bono. How important was the song "Bullet the Blue Sky " exposing America and Noriega. I have no clue how Bono picked up the details or may be he only picked up the spiritual echoes. It was only later in the 90s that Cathy O Brien was testifying to MK Ultra and her role with the President in opening up the drug lanes from South America into USA. Essentially treason agains their own people, in cahoots with one particular Freemason Lodge that Juri Lina researched for his book Architects of Deception. And later Shaun Attwood uncovers the fact that THE Klaus Barbi took up a corporate role in making these drug lane connections.
So we see from the outset that as Christ and His Light makes inroad to our souls personally then He also uses us in the role of exposing Darkness. Romans 1 tells us that Darkness or The Lie or Genesis 3 SUPPRESSES RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Two hundred years ago that meant helping to end integral slavery. Well slavery may nonger be under cover of law, but Satan has just gone underground with Tavistock BBC and the CIA and Mengele to form international brain washing and the development of MK Ultra.
The 20th minute is about 9/11 and America to this day refuse to believe Aaron Russo's account of what the young Rockefeller told him about that day. Completely home grown. Here the 20th minute has the Bush central figure, who with his Dad and Mossad arranged it all using state of the art explosive wired in traditional dewmolition format.
