I LOVE the Church of Yeshua Christ .....
I truly and sincerely
LOVE the church (of course the people not the system) with the LOVE of
GOD and HE has given me the burden and MANDATE for their growth in these last
times. NOW I consider myself an (Immature) Disciple of YESHUA HA’ MASHIACH
disciplining myself to become a mature one, even as I work towards conforming into
the image of Yeshua our LORD in my SOUL(psuche).
Church has always
been into transition period ever since the protestant movement started around
1500 AD and will stay in
transition from one movement to another until we reach the same standard of the
First Century Church. NOW in the
beginning of 20th century – 1906 Azusa Street Revival by William Seymour,
Pentecostal Movement came into
existence and the Pioneers of this Movement preached on the Baptism in the HOLY
SPIRIT with an initial evidence of speaking in tongues as one of their revelation
teachings and encouraged the church to receive the baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT and
speak in tongues as in ACT chap 2 (on the Day of Pentecost). Till here all was
well, Movement spread faster than any previous movements, all good. Later, the
enemy of the church used some of the people and made this movement as a Christian denomination, which was never
intended by GOD.
There is no harm in using the word "Pentecostal" however there is no mention
of Pentecostal Church in the Bible. Logically speaking, attending Pentecostal church don’t
make us Pentecostal.
Argumentatively speaking, if
I am baptized in the HOLY GHOST with speaking in tongues, I am a Pentecostal, even
if I don’t attend Pentecostal church.
However, Praying in the Spirit or tongues should be emphasized along with Meditation of God's WORD with LOVE being the CORE of all practices.
We as a CHURCH need
to learn and accept the Unconditional LOVE of GOD, and know who WE are in Christ, sonship, CHRISTLIKENESS,
speaking in tongues, Knowing GOD etc,.
Religion(Religious Prayers) has replaced GOD, Entertainment has hijacked
WORSHIP, Programs have replaced the PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT and the MEDITATION of
GOD’s WORD is lost, lastly FASTING is used to move GOD to fulfill our agendas.
Fasting doesn't move GOD in anyways, it moves us to remove unbelief and doubt
so we can receive from GOD, what he has already given to us through CHRIST
JESUS.
We would rather be called a disciple than being tagged with any church system or denomination (Of course we need to be a part of church fellowship).
These are the last
days, let’s be sensitive to the voice of the HOLY SPIRIT. HE wants us to become
more like JESUS both in CHARACTER and POWER.
BE ready for HIS
coming!
