Christ is the kingdom of light. Satan is the kingdom of darkness.Jesus is the door. Many tried to come in another way. He called them thieves and robbers. You can only know the Father thru his son. The clergy-laity system started in the Catholic Church.Priesthood example. Priest were the only ones who could speak for God. We are all priest according to Christ. This hierarchy--meditorial--pastorial system came into Protestantism.Hierarchy in rank of order. Meditorial in replacing Christ as the one mediator between God and man.Christ headship is denied by this system. One Body of Christ is now divided up by divisive spirits.This spirit of error has caused so much apostasy. Look a the Pergamos Church. They held to the teachings of Baal and they held to the teachings of the Nicolaitans(Clergy-Laity System.) No divine order of God's church in this clergy-laity system. False Leaders bringing in destructive heresies. Christ is the head of his church. Darkness and light cannot dwell together. Spiritual Idoltary should not be practiced.Everything the Father has not planted will be uprooted. The end of all things is near.Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray. Babylon means tyranny. Where the spirit of the Lord is their is freedom. You started in the spirit. Do you think you will finish in the flesh? Flee Judaism. Christ is building his church on the outside of the Religious system. As the body meets together Christ will equip and renew our minds. Put on the mind of Christ. The IC which is the clergy-laity sytem==Nicolaitans. And if we in house churches refuse his headship authority we two will be as Babylon. Come out of Babylon! Come out of Babylon in your mindsets! Titus 2:3 You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine. Clergy-laity==seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. 1 Timothy 4:1 The Spirit clearly says that in latter times some will abandon the faith and follow deceivings spirits and things taught by demons. The love of many has waxed cold. Let us return to our first love Christ and than his spirit will keeps us loving our brothers and sisters. This clergy-laity sytem is corrupt and evil. Offering freedom when they are bound by Satan. Follow Christ==Not Baal. This system says evil is good and good is evil. Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. 2 Cor. 4:6 For God, who said,Let light shine out of darkness," made his light in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. Please contact me in Seattle for fellowship in his light. Do not let anyone deceive you. Test all things. God is light and in him is no darkness. Come out of the darkness of the clergy-laity system. There should be no division among us. Obey Christ and keep his commandments. Study Romans 16:17 and Titus 3:9-11. Lord make us one in you. Obedience is better than sacrifice. To the church in Pergamum Rev.2:16-17===Repent therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churhces. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it.

I was born in the French province of Quebec, Canada. It is an area where we had more Roman Catholics per capita than in Rome itself. I was born in 1958 and was number 12 of 14 children. We had the highest birth rate in the world and since 1960 there's been a steady decline. By 1975 we had the lowest birth rate in the world according to the UN and to the tax man. Beleive or not, many children per family was encouraged by the Roman organisation as a mean to produce the votes to defeat the English democratically. The simple way I used to settle the whole matter came when I found out the meaning of the word Catholic. Catholic means universal, which the Lord is the source of, in that "it has been pleasing to God to make the fulness of all things visible and invisible on earth and in heaven to dwell in Him." The universe cannot be contained nor ordained from Rome. Catholic is not a name, it is a quality that describes our Lord's nature and conplete reality; Rome is a city at the junction of humanity's history. Because nothing escapes our Lord's attention and supremacy, I am of the opinion that among other reasons, the Lord has allowed the RC to come into existance "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness”; and again, “The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile. Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours: whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come—all are yours. And you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s." It is a mean by which He catches the wise in their own craftiness that the Roman institution exists. We can see this meeting of history with destiny in terms of what the present offers, when we saw in China's position to be the only ones to refuse to go to Pope John PaulII's funeral. The wise's craftiness is in place and the line is drawn as to where the real battle of nerves over world powers lies at the moment. At the same time, our Lord is moving with the teachings of Watchman Nee and of the House Church's movement that got revived in China and that now spreads around the world. Rumors of the truthful kind have it that there are more people now in the House Chuch of China than there are Communist Party people.
Here is how I understand the history of what happened regarding Rome versus the House Church of the beginings, when institutionalisation began and how such contrast can come in full view all the way from Moses and the people of Israel connecting back then with the "perfect" structure for Empires, namely, Babylon. It is a power structure of command and control that can only self-destruct from within. It was completed as the model for a structure of human's command and control under the Roman's Caesar and carried out ever since until the return of oue Lord...exept in one note, free and easy, feeling so free like a breath, rippling by... At the bottom of a mountain, God provided Moses and the people of Israel with an anecdote of what is the reality of hearing God's voice with our physical hearing. Very little did He speak, but the people begged Moses to ask God to never speak to them directly again for fear that they would surely die. In several different explanations, anecdotes and analogies, Jesus and the apostles are all very clear on the fact that no one gets close enough to God to hear His voice, without being guided there by God Himself. Yet, Jesus is also clear that those who are His, know His voice. Humanity's attempts to mediate the divine and the human natures are and will always be left to re-invent God after our own limits. Through the history of early Christianity, the existantial nessecity of the human's corruptible nature to keep distant from God's voice, combined with the sharpest animal instincts of survival brought on the alliance of Mammon with Roman Empire. That alliance adapted and adopted a tradition imitating the High Priesthood of Aaron, in the name of Christ teachings. Tradition took over the simplicity of the communion guided in God's Presence by God's voice.
When the Christian reform consolidated in the name of Martin Luther, the renewal was again halted by labelling as "enthusiasts", all those who advocated for the completion of the reforms until it reached the simplicity of the communion guided in God's Presence by God's voice. Instead, the reform got lost into the renaissance of all human interests, still excluding God's direct governance in our midst, born of our abiding in Him so that He may abide in each one of His children.
Belief is from the nervous energy by which we can conclude, make up our mind and have an opinion of our own, with or without the truth. Beleif brings us to sound conclusions of our own. Then comes the need to know that I am known in such a way as I may also know that I know. This is when Faith draws beleif into revelation. This distinction leads to observe two opposing accesses at the basic fundamental levels of sourcing the human thought generating and processing, and consequently, at the source of the very health of personal identity development and interactive qualities. The spirit-driven mind is the experience of organic-spiritual unity where all quality of living are. The soul-driven mind is where beleif refuses the revelation of Faith and turn societies into herds of peer pressured humans, spending our existence under the "peacefully oppressed order" of military intelligence, to maintain the animal soul driven nature of humanity under check. Psychiatry is only just coming to terms with the conclusive observations in the curative powers of Faith for a variety of conditions where the patient is relieved from past beliefs that find themselves at the root of the condition that needs treated. From Faith, the mind is at peace with an imaginative screen that feeds from the balanced creative participation of both, the subjective and the objective state of being fully developing together, into the revelation of being relevant at the source of being one with all in all.
Therefore the response I seek to provide is the simplicity of His Presence and of His Voice, so that whenever or wherever anyone asks any question concerning God, He is then always available to be pin pointed amongst His own human manifestation of His Promised Covenant of Justice, Peace and Joy by the Spirit..."for he/she who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." The reward is to know Him and to commune at the Source of Being, Identity and Presence...amen...
PERMANENT AVAILABILITY of the POWER of the CROSS of the CHRIST JESUS ACCORDING to the EXPERIENCE of the BIBLE
The incarnation of Jesus from eternity into the temporal human existance, absorbed the constance of the dissociative energies of matter. That which Adam brought on himself, Jesus took it on when He incarnated with us, humans. Although He was Son, He had to learn obediance through what He suffered. He was equipped with the same mortal vessel, limited as we are. "Why have you forsaken me", is one recorded statement said to God by Jesus while on the cross. When death came, the Trinity instituted The divine power of NO. When Jesus raised from the death, bore witness to His own, ascended, was exhulted by sitting at the right hand of the Father until the Father makes of all His enemies His footstool and sent the Spirit, the Trinity had then instituted the divine power of YES with humanity, from eternity. God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.
Trinity curses Adam then Jesus takes upon Himself the rejected human body which is isolated and detached by Their own power to curse, then brings that cursing power to an end by taking it on with His incarnation, with His living, with His dying and resurrecting = to Divine NO.
Resurrection, ascention, exhultation gift of the Sprit=Divine=to YES.
"Therefore, the cross is the power of God for all of us who are BEING saved", says the apostle. "Deny yourself, pick up the cross daily and followm me", says the Lord. NO and then YES; such is the order of the one faith, one baptism, one Spirit one Father of all...amen More specific. In the Covenant, God state: "I will put my laws into their hearts and into their spirits." Then there is the soul and body which are left to be saved by the discipline to "deny myself". No one can do that if the the cross and resurrection are not available to eliminate that which I am guided daily to deny. To deny means that I co-work with God Who already commune with me in my spirit and in my heart by His own work of revelation. But He wont rape my soul and He wont invade His own temple, which is the body of His children. Both soul and body must come into sync with the Spirit in my spirit and from the live revelation in my heart to my soul. So every morning, I awake within the limits of my awareness, I receive God's daily salutation in my spirit and in my heart, I welcome the Divine power to apply NO to the mortal limits of my soul and of my body (I pick up the cross) and I follow in the renewing of my mind that comes from following the resurrected Christ. Paul says: "By the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live because those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you have received the Spirit of Sonship. And by him, we cry Abba Father." Peter says that the judgement begins by the house of the Lord. The cross is God's verdict upon His own verdict. We now live in the Day of the Lord, the Day of Salvation. His family is being sanctified (set apart) by the purification of our souls and bodies that He offers and operates within the temporal dimention of the material universe with the activation of His Divine judgement of the cross. The first chapter in the initiative of ...cleansing our vision of the Crown... is named: "...quest for home... It means that home is the daily quest of seeking and finding God by denying myself, picking up the cross and to follow the resurected Christ in the deployment of my day. The Day of Salvation is my tuning fork. The obediance of the Son that I experience is the divine music playing of my temporal day into His eternal day. Each day, His Crown of Justice and of Peace becomes brighter and shines forth from upon my head in His, and lights up my path in the Glorious glow of His unity with us, the "Land of Immanuel" where Easter's celebration cannot be interrupted, for He lives and He is with us to the ends of the earth. Jesus walked up the hill of humanity's agony, ended it. Now God transports us in the heavenlies and invites us to come down that hill, to be guided in His Presence to carry in His blessing to our souls and bodies. Organized Christian religion, for the most part, are still trying to climb us that hill of agony, instead of accepted the finished work of the cross and the simple discipline, as prescribed by the Master The just shall live by faith and there is only one faith; that's the elevator of God in our heart and spirit, with which we bring to our soul and bodies the healing of the meaning, where abides the Faculty of Living by the revelation being ministered to by the Spirit. "The cross is the power of God to us who are being saved", says the apostle. From this experience, my heart and spirit are gifted to provide my soul and body with the universal Spirit of power to love my enemies, to bless those who curse me, to do good to those who hate me, and to pray for those who spitefully use me and persecute me, so that I may be son of my Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if I love those who love me, what reward have I? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if I greet my brethren only, what do I do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? Therefore I shall be perfect, just as my Father in heaven is perfect. Such is the catholic House Church...amen to Your Yes oh Lord...
