WHO IS PART OF THE "TRUE CHURCH"

                                                                     

From God to you:

The church of Christ is not an externally recognisable building, it is only the union of profoundly believing people who are in most intimate contact with the founder of the church, with Jesus Christ, and thus are also enlightened, guided and permeated by His spirit and are also truly able to work remarkably with the spiritual strength.

Secular organisations who claim to be the church of Christ on earth, as mentioned by Jesus Christ, generally just represent the outward appearance and not its essence.… They indeed teach the Word of Christ, nevertheless only living faith gives God’s Word the right meaning and the right value to the human soul. And this living faith can exist in every clerical organisation but it can also be absent from it, however, only the human being who calls this living faith his own is a follower of His church.

Anyone with a right and living faith, which is the result of a life of love, will also know the truth, because the fire of love emanates the light of truth…. And he will also discern between divine and human teachings.... he will more and more let the divine teachings become the principle of his life and ignore the human teachings….

The church of Christ no longer numbers many followers, and the more love grows cold amongst people the smaller the flock of true Christians will become, because love must definitely be practiced in order for people to be regarded as true Christians and to provide a fellow human being with a shining example of the true church on earth, which does not require any official affiliation with a denomination but only a life according to the divine commandments, which first of all call for love, but which then will also exhibit the certain characteristic that demonstrates the founder of the church...Amen

And as long as the congregations fight each other they lack this living faith, because then they will also lack the understanding of that which I regard as the church founded by Me.

 Strong faith and profound love prove the affiliation with the church of Christ and only its followers will survive the final battle of faith, because they will be the ones to fight alongside  Jesus Christ  and will, therefore, also be victorious over the one who opposes Christ, over God’s adversary and his vassals.... Anyone who professes to belong to the church of Christ shall also live like a Christian, otherwise he is no credit to it.

However, many people will pay lip service, they, too, will belong to churches which claim to have been founded by Jesus…. If they live according to divine will by fulfilling His divine commandments of love then their strength of faith will be strong as well and they will stand firm during the final battle of faith and profess His name before the world…..

Your faith will go through the final test!!

The time is almost apon you, for the last battle faith is close at hand and then you must be forearmed…. you have to stand firm when those who hold on to an external belief fail, who deem themselves living in truth without ever contemplating what they are expected to believe. They will waver and fall away, but the ones who stand firm and provide the evidence that an inner, living relationship also results in a living faith which will provide them with the strength to endure to the end…. Amen

What does God think of our church services without a living faith.

Isaiah 58 (summery)

Worship the Lord as He Wants to Be Worshiped.

In spirit (love God) In truth (love your neighbour)

 1)      I give to you the truth word for word in plain language,

To tell those who call themselves God's children (church, Christians) why they are spiritually

Robbed and enslaved, why they are fair game for all, and no one to protect them.

 2)  " They go to church and seem delighted to learn about my ways and commandments".

     " They act as if they were my children that has done what is right,

 You would almost think they are a righteous people that would never

Abandon its God".

"They love to make a show of coming to me, asking to take action on their behalf".

"They want God to be near them".

 3) "We have worshipped and fasted before you, they say, why you aren’t impressed".

"We asked you for forgiveness for our sins, why you don’t hear our prayers".

"I will tell you why, it’s because you live only for yourself, even while you fast and worship".

"You keep right on oppressing those below you".

 4) "What good does your praying do while you constantly fight and quarrel amongst yourselves, this kind of fasting and worshipping will never get you anywhere with me".

 5)"You bow your head before me like a blade of grass in the wind in external humility, you repent with only your lips

But your hearts are far away from me."

"Is this what you call worshipping, do you really think this will please the Lord".

 6)"The only kind of worshipping I want from you is, take a stand for righteousness, do not oppress those who work for you, treat them fairly and give them what they earn".

 7)" I want you to share your food with the hungry and reach out to the lonely, give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from your relatives who need your help".

 8)" Help those in trouble and stop making false accusations and spreading vicious rumours”.

"THEN YOUR LIGHT WILL SHINE FROM THE DARKNESS, AND THE DARKNESS AROUND YOU WILL BE AS BRIGHT AS DAY, YOUR GODLINESS WILL LEAD YOU FORWARD, AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD WILL PROTECT YOU FROM BEHIND, AND WHEN YOU CALL ON THE LORD, HE WILL ANSWER". "YES I AM HERE" HE WILL QUICKLY REPLY!!

But there will only be a few of them, only people who live a life of love will be able to muster this strength of resistance against worldly powers who plan to eliminate everything that is associated with a belief in Jesus Christ, the divine Redeemer. And only then will the human being prove that he is a Christian, only then will he be able to consider himself a member of the church founded by Jesus Christ, which subsequently will also profess Jesus Christ before God, the Father, as He predicted.

How easy it is to sing God's praises when all is well always. It’s even easy to sing God's praises when all is well often. But will you keep on singing God's praises, when everything goes wrong often and rarely anything well at all. It is at such a time you'll be tested as a lip worshipper or a heart worshipper.-Sad roG
