Revision as of 07:36, 18 July 2014
For the last forty years I have preached a one line message.
Repent! Seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness.[1]
This is what John was preaching but few understand today what that meant. After thirty years we are now getting ministers who actually seem to have some idea of what that means. They are meeting and discussing and striving to do what John, Jesus and the apostles said to do and are beginning to operate more like the early Church in the world but not of it.
There is a big learning curve to seeking that kingdom like the early Church did and these ministers have been learning by doing and those in their congregations who participate will be hearing from them.
But the ministers are only a small part of the church in general. Elders of families and men and women seeking the kingdom of God are both a part of and the purpose for the Church. Those elders and networking ministers are a lawful assembly.
Why is a lawful assembly important?
Because Jesus knows Matthew 20:15 "Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?"
A lawful assembly is lawful when it is a righteous assembly.
The whole world went back into bondage some time ago and that bondage is sealed in debt. God warned us over and over that if we did contrary to His will that He would not hear us.[2]
They have done this because they have not been righteous like they should be. Of course the adversary of God wants you to think that you do not have to do the will of the Father and that you will be saved anyway. This is contrary to what Christ said.[3] The people have been slothful[4] in the way of righteousness.
I am always asked by people, "How do you get out of the system?" But though the answer is simple it is not practical.
Getting out is a little like jumping over the side on a pirate ship or walking the plank. Unless you can walk on water you might want a different strategy.
Christ gave us that blessed strategy to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
He did not incorporate the kingdom but he appointed the Church. The Church was fashioned after what the Levites, the church in the wilderness were supposed to do. They were to be the asylum state so that the people could gather and have a government that did not exercise authority one over the other[5] but could still supply the services of governments.[6]
The Church is "one form of government". It is not engaged in trade or business. Not because it does not look like trade or business but because of the status of the ordained ministers acting as overseers of Sacred Purpose Altars of divine trust. Those who have studied the Free Church Report may understand what I am saying.
People use terms like pure trusts but they do not really exist because men are not "pure". There are nexus connections everywhere and though I might let you off if I were judge, the judges of the world will protect their assets and not let you go as individuals. Christ and Moses had a plan. It was the same plan. Jesus made it better but we must decide what part we want to play in that plan.
The Church is the institution of Christ to provide services within His government. It was appointed to His "little flock".[7] It is His company, His Pure Trust... The thing that makes His Church a pure trust, a Sacred Purpose Altar of divine trust, is that it is doing the will of He who established it, Christ.
If His Church ministers are not doing what Christ said to do then we are not His Church.
He said be ye separate.[8]
Feed My Sheep.[9]
Keep the commandments.[10]
Love one another.[11]
The Church needs to be the social welfare and health care of Christ.
The FEMA of Christ,
The educational system of Christ.
The church established by Christ.
That means we need to have ministers and elders working for a common goal in an unselfish servant/service oriented protocol that strengthens the poor.
What does that look like?
Free assemblies that come together for the purpose of serving one another with freewill offerings and ministers who do the same to provide all the benefits of government but by charity alone. They all come to serve in whatever capacity they can.
People who focus on the idea of being free rather than the idea of being responsible will miss the boat.
There is no way to get the elders out of the system now that I can see. Pharaoh's heart is too hard. We can build the "asylum state", the Church. That Church needs to be manned by the prodigal sons and daughters who are willing to come back to their Father's house to be servants/disciples under His terms like the vow of poverty which we explain in the books.
When the system is collapsing the elders will come out but the seas will be roaring and it will take many miracles to survive...
What they must do now is work to build the righteous house of the Lord by coming together and serving one another.
That is repentance.
That is turning away from what brought us into bondage. If we will do that then God will hear our prayers and bless us.
Do not seek to get out of a system by forming some pretense of a Lawful assemblies by filing papers or making claims.
Seek to get into the kingdom by doing righteousness and loving one another in service like Christ said to do. That is the blessed strategy.
