Abandonment
The spiritual replication of evil occurs in the unforgiving heart of victims of injustice.
Werewolves, vampires, zombies all spread the demonic identity by infecting their victims with their bite. If people are cruel to us and we fail to heal through true forgiveness we may become like that which cruelly bit us. If we are betrayed or abandoned as a child we may repeat that pattern in relationship after relationship until we bring back balance with repentance in action.
Everyone who is on these Network email groups should understand that these groups are here to help you form a Living Network of local CORE assemblies where people can seek to do what the early Church did - to love one another through mutual service in the character of Christ.
If you want to congregate with existing congregation let us know and someone can contact you.
People who are congregating can volunteer as contact ministers and if their minister thinks they are ready we can give them a moderator position on the group.
Apostasy of the Heart
At the time of Christ the Levites, who had been the Church in the wilderness, had been corrupted by false interpretations of the Torah. Christ was not just a reformer but would take the government away from the Pharisees who were a art of the corruption and appoint the government to another called out group.
But that called out early Church was doing things much different than the Modern Christians. Why should we think that the modern Church can have so many things wrong and expect to find the same type of fellowship in those who are seeking the kingdom that we once had in those churches.
Wen they come in congregation they often complain that they do not feel the love they are looking for. I am sure that Jesus did not always feel loved.
Do you gather to be loved or to love others. Often people who have suffered the abandonment of love are the first to leave a congregation.
Jesus warns about such love.
- "For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them." Luke 6:32
The Bite of Abandonment
Yet, at the first sign of conflict or even less than the warmest of affectionate fellowship people often abandon the congregation they say the intend to love. This is nothing more than the spirit of abandonment often results from unresolved past trauma trying to find a home in your own hearts.
What is the cure?
As always forgiveness in action.
So therefore brothers:
Be thankful for an imperfect congregation for they challenge your ability to love others like Christ who said ".... Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;" Matthew 5:44
What parent can stop loving their children the first time they are less than saints. Did God the Father abandon you the first tie you sinned? Did Christ abandon the apostles as they fell short and bickered among themselves?
- "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him." John 14:21
We are to Keep the Commandments, one of which is to love one another as Christ loved us.
- "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." Hebrews 10:25
The spiritual replication of evil occurs in the unforgiving heart of victims of injustice. The cure is the tending to the weightier matters in congregations of faith and hope through charity which is love.
