The world today has its own religious dictionary of definitions of God and Spirit and Church and Heaven and Hell and a hundred other things, and they speak and think within the framework of these definitions. But GOD SPEAKS A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE and has a different dictionary of definitions by which He speaks to His people and according to which He works. If all the multiplied practices and methods employed by the churches today were suddenly swept away, it would in all probability cease to exist. If the churches had to drop all of their rituals, forms, programs, and ceremonies; all their confirmations, baptisms, and communion services; all of their special singing, organ music, and altar calls; all their organization, titles, and church buildings, they would feel as though they had been stripped naked and could not serve God in any way. All this simply demonstrates the terrible fact that the faith and dependence of the churches is not in God, but in the trappings they have accumulated to themselves over the centuries. Lest someone accuse me of being brash, vindictive, or extreme, let me remind you that when the early apostles went out and turned the world upside down for God, THEY HAD ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THE THINGS MENTIONED ABOVE. All the had was God - the power of the Holy Ghost sent down from Heaven. But today, the thought that God if perfectly able and fully willing to run HIS church without anything in the way of fleshly contributions is found to be abhorrent to the average church member, and even more shocking to the average preacher! The sons of God are manifested for the deliverance of all creation (and creation is groaning now for just that) they will have none of the worlds instruments, and that is just the reason that God is dealing with His elect so severely in this hour to come unto Him without the camp bearing His reproach. As I have said many, many times before, I am not anti Gods real Church, the called out body that worships Him in the simplicity of Spirit and Truth and is not in bondage to man made religion with all of the insteads of Jesus...but I am totally opposed to playing church, having a form of Godliness but denying the power, the entertaining of the saints instead of perfecting the saints, the hyper organized services, and focusing on the work instead of focusing on Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God and seeking to follow Him where ever He goes. Gods true Church, in contrast to the false religious systems of Babylon, has never been contaminated by the world. Blessings!!
