The heavens move according to God's plan. Day and night continue from the beginning of Creation until the end. The rain falls, seeds germinate, and the earth yields its harvest today just as it did thousands of years ago. The seas occupy their space and the land its own. Heat is replaced by cold and replaces it in turn. Spring and summer, autumn and winter, rain, drought, flood, and fire. Each of these things, though they seem to be in conflict at times, follows the plan set by the Creator at the beginning. They do as they were once commanded without complaint, without struggle, and will continue to do so until they are commanded to do otherwise.
Why then, do we fight with one another for position, for honors that have not been ordained to us? Why are we, who reflect the image of the Creator in function and form more than any other of His creations, struggle so hard and continuously against the purpose for which we were created?

Ok, ok, I admit it, I confess my 'sin'!:
Yes, I did (and do) seek to respond appropriately to the Word of God
ㅤto obtain & maintain the commitment to the purity and the mutual accountability
ㅤㅤthat is required of every single, ordinary 'brother' in the Body of Yeshua,
and I did (and do) seek to respond appropriately to the Word of God
ㅤto obtain & maintain this same commitment in others,
ㅤㅤthus becoming aware of as many as I can 'brothers' and ‘sisters’
ㅤㅤㅤthat God Himself has united with me worldwide
ㅤㅤㅤㅤthrough their commitment/partnership with Him and with His Son.
For this obedient response to the Word of God,
some authoritarian religionists want to ‘discredit’ me,
ㅤsuggesting I'm some kind of heretic creating a 'new cult' or something.
In my humble opinion, sirs and ma’ams,
such religionists have presumed to have authority in the Body
ㅤand are not even members of the Body
ㅤㅤbecause they do not have the Body's commitment.
They stand to condemn people who, without them, have become righteous
ㅤthrough the faith, the faithful allegiance, the partnership, the Way of Yeshua's Body.
Why do they condemn?
ㅤBecause their facade,
ㅤㅤtheir man-made authority system that exalts them above their fellow believers and in society,
ㅤㅤㅤis crumbling because of people like me
ㅤㅤㅤㅤwho show that obedience to God is quite possible without them!
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤwithout them being above others and collecting others’ money!
ㅤI’m a threat to their man-made authority and their income!
If you or anyone reading this
ㅤㅤwants to embrace
ㅤthe partnership
ㅤㅤof Anointed Yeshua’s
ㅤㅤㅤBody/people
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ/assembly/’Church’,
let them thumb up this post,
ㅤand I will make a chat
ㅤㅤwith a confirmed brother
ㅤㅤㅤwho has the partnership,
and we can there check
ㅤㅤand make sure
ㅤthat we are all
ㅤㅤin the partnership,
ㅤㅤthe one called 'the fellowship
ㅤㅤㅤwith the Father
ㅤㅤㅤㅤand with the Son'
ㅤㅤㅤwhich 'we are possessing
ㅤㅤㅤㅤwith each other'.

Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war.
Revelation 19:11
#yeshua comes in judgment and war, but He is faithful, true, and righteous in executing judgment. He is the Word of God, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. He will refine his people, but never destroy them.
#revelation 19:11-16 #jesus
Government happens. That’s not a complaint; it’s a simple statement of fact. God instituted government when He created order in His universe. We know how human governments operate, and the record isn’t very encouraging. That’s why we may be apprehensive about God’s government in eternity. How should we prepare for it?
