1. INSTRUCTIONS FOR A REAL CHURCH / CHRISTIAN

     This is somewhat a continuation of the blog God's Misfit Children, but I've wrapped up my original breakthrough, with a few legal issues pending and am starting a second as I believe this will focus on my next project or asignment.  It's been incredibly helpful for me to write postings because in so doing, I'm researching the Bible and learning much and most of what I learn needs to be shared with the world.
     Here's an email from a very knowledgeable young friend who provides much advice that I need to take and most other of us christians as well:

That link explains the truth about the real Christian. The remnant of God. In the video one preacher said something along these lines... "If you are a real Christian, having a burning heart for God, then you will not be satisfied in Church. You will not be okay with the three point sermon on a slide show. Clap your hands and praise God in a service. Moreover, people like to hear what tickles their ears. They like to hear a three point sermon that has no Holy Spirit Power. Following the church service, they talk plainly as if they are apart of the world and enjoy coffee and doughnuts. 

You know... like if God is real, then how often do you see Him manifested in the Church? If we serve of God of power and His Holy Spirit is with us, then where is He? 

First of all, The Bible tells us that God inhabits the praises of His people. 

Secondly, The Holy Spirit must be Honored. 

Thirdly, The Holy Spirit is easily grieved. 

This leads me to believe that the steps to allowing the Holy Spirit to move are quite simple, but people are blind to letting Him move. On the other hand maybe they do not prefer to let him move because they like to be in control. 

What must the church do?

1. Repent

2 Surrender all control to the Holy Spirit.

3 Present themselves as a living sacrifice. 

4 Always be Humble.

5 Fear God

6 Do everything in Love 

In addition to all this, no one should try and take control of what is happening in the room. The Holy Spirit is in Control. Rather everyone should operate in agreement based upon what they hear the Holy Spirit saying. Let each others words be confirmed and allow it to line up with God's Word. That way everyone can be sure and know that they are operating in Truth. 

Today people are afraid to speak what they believe the Holy Spirit might be saying. Others are almost clueless about prayer or are in need of learning to pray. Finally, people are talked to like robots. They listen to and follow only what the pastor says or what they have heard. They depend on someone else other than God to be the voice of God in their life. 

Try and explain this in a Church and see how far you get... Its treated more like a good idea. Others might call it witch craft. 

     The young man who gave me this is a quiet, unassuming guy who works at Wal Mart and has had some seminary training.  He ought to be in a position of upper leadership in a church organization. Perhaps he will be.  The tribulation comes soon, possibly this fall.  According to Friend Ian here, true christians will get through it unharmed while most are going to have some serious suffering.  My friends, it's probably a good time to get serious about accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior and start following this young man's advice.

In His service, a Misfit child of God
