Update

Just a quick update here.

I don't know that I will be updating this blog much more, as most of my time will be taken up with the DRP and that blog/idea.

So, maybe this will be the last post here, and I wanted to conclude on the matter of the church in my community.

They remain steadfastly unwilling to hear me. They have found a new pastor, a man, whom I have met very briefly. Seems like a likable fellow, but looks can be deceiving...

The Church is still in apostasy and has no allegiance to Christ.

It is getting cold so I have not been going and standing outside during services as a testimony against the church. That and I don't think it made much of a difference, as the congregation is still very small, and the members know of me, and have sided with themselves and their agenda against I and the LORD.

They have been working overtime and meeting regularly at the church. Which testifies against them, since they will not accept He who the church is suppose to work for.

What they plan to do, and I really can't verify this, it's just a feeling I have, is turn the church into a humanistic outreach community center that will ultimately do more harm than good for the community though for years it may seem otherwise...because I believe the world will help them in worldly endeavors. They'll find the financial assistance, and neccessities to succeed for a time in fulfilling their own wills and agendas, and they will succeed at the cost of innocents who don't know any better. No change really, this is what they have been doing for years now, they just didn't have much support nor will. Now they have a spiteful will to succeed because the LORD does not approve of them. And so they will...for a time...

One decision could change the whole scenario-kneel at the Cross.

Maybe they have accepted correction but are unwilling or unable to accept the LORD at this time...

I just know that the Whore is behind all this and She is such a stubborn, spiteful Beast, She never allows the right people to lead...She uses their advice and prophecy in a self destructive way, that, for a time relieves the groaning of many and seems to be working reconciliation and healing, but She doesn't come to Christ, She doesn't admit sin, She doesn't think She is guilty, because all are guilty, even Jesus. If She can somehow destroy all, She might save all? No, not going to happen. God will raise those who were or are truly penitent. All fall short of the Glory. None, not a single one can make it without God, and She is always trying to get everyone to strive without God. That, and that alone could damn them...and She's going to succeed in damning many, because they don't have Faith. They believe in what their eyes can see, hands can touch and bellies can feel. She provides...

The Township and Community are mostly glad to welcome Her in, because it means a cure for boredom, lots of change and quickly if they can get the right people out of the way...which means, me and others who stand in the way of "progress."

But that is exactly what could make this Town and Community so worthy, it's their willingness to REST in Him...it would be like unto Goshen, and Eden amidst the tumult of Sodom and Gomorrah, and these two opposed entities want to move in in a big way and She will provide a route...Anyway they can get at the lambs, they will...And She has the shepherds so confused and discomfitted they can't unite and stand firm...but it's not Her fault, it's the shepherds who are unwilling and unable to come to Christ. They will not receive His Authority...they can't. Allegiance, at this time, must be a cowardly striving with state and idiotic pride...none can be so brave as to step out of the world and it's trappings and really stand for God and Country, because that would seem like a step backwards to a world that doesn't realize that they are already going backwards at a lunatic pace...

What does the Word say?

Jerimiah 6:16-19 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken. Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them. Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.

Who, in our world can hear this? Not many.

It's the stubborn asses we have to thank for our survival, no matter how upset we grown with them, they and their steadfast distaste for the world is saving Grace...You'll know it one day and thank them...For now, they seem to be a burden and a obstacle...I tell you, they are Saints...The more frustrated by jackasses you feel on a daily basis, the more grateful you ought to feel. Anything that slows the madness down, you ought to be at your knees thanking God for...

The changes this church need remain the same. Healthy diets, healthy habits, healthy worship, healthy space in which to worship...the Agenda of the LORD, His Oeace and Rest for His Children. Puritan Ethics. Forgiveness, Grace and Sound Judgment.

Our Light needs to Rise out of obscurity. I've been in a funk since not being accepted by this congregation, in and out of sin and despair...and it really irks me that this is the kind of attitude that kills believers wills to strive and live for Christ. It makes me murderously angry sometimes...To think that they will not even take the time to sit down and speak with me, is unforgivable hatred...They are lost and they want others lost and dwindling with them. Real Faith would deliever them overnight, but they've never had It and don't believe they are worthy of It. All are welcome, and they are only willing to receive those like themselves-bitter roots...

I don't plan to become one with them...but, neither did Solomon...

Pro 5:1-23 My son, attend unto my wisdom, [and] bow thine ear to my understanding:

That thou mayest regard discretion, and [that] thy lips may keep knowledge.

For the lips of a strange woman drop [as] an honeycomb, and her mouth [is] smoother than oil:

But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.

Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, [that] thou canst not know [them].

Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:

Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours [be] in the house of a stranger;

And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, [and] rivers of waters in the streets.

Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.

Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

[Let her be as] the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.

And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

For the ways of man [are] before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.

His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.

He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
