Classic Christianity – We The Church – Part 1 – 9-22-25

We The Church – Part 1 – 9-22-25

~ “And you, being dead in your trespasses and sins— in which once you walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit now working in the sons of disobedience, among whom we all also once lived in the desires of our flesh, doing the things willed of the flesh and of its thoughts; and we were by nature children of wrath even as the rest.” Ephesians 2:1-3

~ When a person places Faith in Jesus God, and understands what God did for you at the cross, Took Away ALL your sins, and understands that He is no longer counting any of your sins against you, He makes you alive by sending His Spirit to indwell you permanently for ALL time. That is when a person becomes born again of the Spirit of God and has Eternal Life living in them for ALL eternity. And it is at that very moment that a person is placed into the body of Christ, The TRUE Church of Jesus, not some type of Man or demon created church, but the Church that is of God.

And make no mistake about it, there are lots of churches today that their members worship a false god, based on the testimony of Man and the doctrines of demons, which we have been eye witnesses to every day (especially recently). For most people are actually involved in the church of the world and politics and have no clue they are worshipping a false god. They have no idea what an entity even stands for. Oh, because some pastor or minister vouched for them, after they heard a snippet, that makes the demon a child of God? Get real. Guess what folks, those snippets were prerecorded staged events to get you to latch on to a false teacher, and blindly promote them as though they are saved. People today are following Man and demons instead of being led by the Spirit to understand ALL TRUTH today. And once you have the Spirit of TRUTH living in you, He begins to point out the lies of the world church and shows the signs that prove they are false teachers. And if a person is not willing to test the spirits, and does NOT see anything wrong with the other churches, there is a real possibility that they do not have the Spirit of Truth living in them. And note this, the more indoctrinated a person is with seminary training, as a pastor for example, the more difficult it will be for them to repent (change their mind) about anything today.

Put it to the test, and many of you have indeed put it to the test. Many of you have shared truth with a pastor, and they either said that is not correct, and tried to silence you, to make sure you don’t tell anyone else about the reconciliation of God in a Sunday school setting for example, or they have kicked you out of their so-called church to get rid of you. Praise God for that by the way if that happened to you! Because you listened to the Holy Spirit instead of Man. And yet there are those that trust in the teaching of seminary taught pastors, and will lean on what their pastor says instead of the Word of God. And they even promote known false teachers in this area of forgiveness, online or in person because they say, “Most everyone teaches the ongoing forgiveness by God doctrine, and I’m going to overlook that. Because we can’t throw ALL of them out.” News alert, a lie is still a lie even if everyone teaches it. Why settle for being taught by a known liar, when we should be taught ALL Truth by the Holy Spirit Himself? And we who have been around sometime now, who know exactly what is being said here, should be speaking the TRUTH no matter what. Is it loving to be silent on the issue and have people go to their death beds having only believed the lie, and to remain dead forever? Is that love?

Folks, we were all deceived in the world. Those of you that are long time listeners and supporters of the ministry know this from experience and having come out of the deception of confession for ongoing forgiveness yourself. Yet every mainline denomination teaches satan’s lie of the forgiveness vending machine by God. Plop in your coin requests to God, and out plops forgiveness. That right there should be at the bare minimum of a test of whether you should even consider listening to a pastor teach on other things. But sadly, many settle for listening to the teaching of Man and demons rather than God. And make no mistake about it, that if they are off in this main foundational teaching point, they are off on most other things also. Because they have built their foundation on sinking sand. And yes details do matter in the Word of God. We know Jesus did NOT atone for sin (no matter how many people say that he did), but we know from the teaching of the Holy Spirit, Jesus God TOOK away the sins of the world. Yet most do not actually believe that. They place no faith in the fact He TOOK ALL their sins away at the cross.

So, there is a key difference between belief and faith. What a person says they believe is a reflection of how one applies faith to the equation. If someone says they believe in total forgiveness by God at the cross, and yet continue in promoting false pastors, are they really exercising faith and do they really believe in what they say they believe? If they are not willing to speak Truth to their local pastor or anyone else caught in the lie, are they really exercising faith? What is Faith? Responding properly to TRUTH. Faith is from first to last. Faith is listening to the Holy Spirit teach you and train you for the ministry.

…..

And a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, having done what, will I inherit eternal life?”
And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good, except God alone. Luke 18:18,19

~ “Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.” 1 John 5:12

~ Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; the one believing in Me, even if he should die, he will live. And everyone living and believing in Me shall never die, to the age. Do you believe this?” John 11:25,26

Pray to God:

Do you really want to know the WHOLE Truth of what is going on today?

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.” Matthew 7:7

Lord Jesus, teach me the truth of the world today and give me the wisdom to know the truth and identify the lies of the devil. Thank you God.”

~ “Now, guys, there’s a difference between believing and putting faith in it. I can believe that that chair will hold me, and I can believe that, and I can walk over here and say, That chair will hold me, and you say, No, it won’t. You say yes, it will. And say No, it’ll hold me. Are you sure? Absolutely sure. And I walk away. What have I done? Well, I’ve said it’ll hold me. But have I put faith in it? No, I pull this sucker out and I hope it stands and I sit in it. Now, what have I done? I have put my faith in what I said. I believe. Now, there are many people who are believers, but they have never put their faith in what they say they believe. You pray in order to come to God, you must believe, first of all, that he is but then you also have to believe that he’s a rewarder of those things the ones who seek Him. So Faith is an absolute ingredient of salvation, not just a belief system, but faith.” ~ Bob George

Let’s turn to the book of Ephesians. The Book of Ephesians, chapter two. Guys here again, we’re talking about Paul explaining this mystery, or what’s called a mousterian, which is a secret of God that was held in the heart of God until such time that he was ready to reveal it to you and me, we talked about these things over the last few weeks. And this mystery was that God was going to take both the HEBREW and the Gentile and to make them into one new man called the ecclesia, or the church. The church, Amy and I were talking about that this morning. You hear people saying, and it just kind of turns my stomach. Welcome to the house of God. Well, I got news for you. This ain’t the house of God, and if you would have seen it before we bought it, you’d been glad this wasn’t the house of God. You are the house of God, not this building, but you see, that gives us the idea that I’m going to go visit grandma on Sunday, I’m going to go to grandma’s house, and we’re going to spend an hour, and then we’re going to leave, we’re going to leave grandma at home, and we’re going to leave grandma’s house at home. That’s how we perceive church. This is the house of God. I’m going to come visit it on Sunday, maybe see a few people there, but I’m going to visit the house. Folks, nothing could be further from the truth. It makes me sick of my stomach when I hear this stuff, because it’s wrong. This is not a house of God. This is a building. This is a building that can be destroyed. What happens when a house of God burns down, gets destroyed? This is a place where God’s body comes, where God’s body gathers, but this is the building where it gathers. Thank God, is paid for. That’s wonderful because it enables us to continue a ministry to people. But my friends, the ministry to people isn’t saying this is the place guys come to the church. I heard testimonies today of this to come come to church. The church to church is what the church did. The church did. I got so tired of going out and visiting and going to lunch with people and hearing about the church and a church and a church, a church, a church meaning the building, and I feel that what happened to people? God didn’t come to save churches. He came to make people born again, and we lose that when we put our emphasis in a building or in an organization, God didn’t come to save organizations. He didn’t come to save America. He came to save people. And we put the emphasis away from people and on organizations, and we lose the whole dynamic of what God’s about.

And so Paul is trying to get our minds straight in regard to these truths. And so he says, starting in verse chapter two, verse 11, therefore, remember, he’s wanting us to remember, especially right now is addressing the Gentile world. Now, guys, before we go on, I want to repeat again from God’s category. He divides humanity up in three divisions, not all the divisions we divide people up in. He could care less what color you are. He could care less how old you are. Thank goodness. He could care less about all those things. He just divides you up by Gentile, HEBREW and Ecclesia. Ecclesia meaning church. That doesn’t mean a building. It means people, people who are what, born again HEBREWS, Gentiles and born again Jews and Gentiles. The Jew and Gentile is our natural heritage. This is what we got from mom and dad. I will always be a Gentile. You cannot make me into a HEBREW. And a HEBREW will always be a HEBREW. You can’t make them. Into a Gentile that is their natural heritage. It can be a HEBREW born in Russia, and you’re called a Russian HEBREW. You can be a HEBREW born in American you’re an American HEBREW. You can be a HEBREW born in Japan, a Japanese HEBREW. You can be a Gentile born in Japan, a Gentile person, a Japanese Gentile, a German Gentile, a French Gentile, but you’re a Gentile, and I will always be naturally a Gentile. God says I got a better birth for you than that. That’s what you got from mommy and daddy. I got a better birth for you, it’s called a new birth. It’s a birth that comes not from human passion and plan, but a birth that comes from God. You can’t create it, sir, you cannot earn it. Ma’am. This is a gift of God that comes from God as a result of grace. And when you come to Christ, and you understand the truth of the gospel, and you understand this truth that I can’t I can’t earn salvation, I can’t buy salvation, people tried recorded in the book of Acts. People tried to buy it. People tried to do anything with it. It’s a gift of God, not as a result of works, so that no man can ever boast. So salvation comes when we put our faith in Jesus.

Now, guys, there’s a difference between believing and putting faith in it. I can believe that that chair will hold me, and I can believe that, and I can walk over here and say, That chair will hold me, and you say, No, it won’t. You say yes, it will. And say No, it’ll hold me. Are you sure? Absolutely sure. And I walk away. What have I done? Well, I’ve said it’ll hold me. But have I put faith in it? No, I pull this sucker out and I hope it stands and I sit in it. Now, what have I done? I have put my faith in what I said. I believe. Now, there are many people who are believers, but they have never put their faith in what they say they believe. You pray in order to come to God, you must believe, first of all, that he is but then you also have to believe that he’s a rewarder of those things the ones who seek Him. So Faith is an absolute ingredient of salvation, not just a belief system, but faith.

I don’t know about you, but I believed in Jesus about all my life. You’ll hear people who say, Oh, I’ve been a Christian all my life. No, you haven’t. No, you haven’t. Nobody’s been a Christian all their life. There’s come a point in time when you put your faith in your belief system. You didn’t come out of the mother’s womb saying praise Jesus. You’re not born spiritually alive. You’re born spiritually dead. And if you’re dead to God, you need life. And so there had to come a time in your life when you became cognizant of your lost condition, and you became cognizant of the fact that Jesus came to correct that lost condition through His resurrected life, and that you, by faith, put your faith in what he accomplished for you at the cross, taking away eternally the cause of spiritual death, which is sin, and to then offering you life resurrected. That resurrected life that Jesus had is now passed on to you and me, so that we’re born again of the Spirit. I came that you might have life. Why do we need life? Because we’re dead, I’m the WAY and the TRUTH and the LIFE. Why do we need life? Because we’re dead, He who has the Son has life. He who does not have the Son of God does not have life. If you don’t have life, what are you? Dead. Don’t have to be a genius. Figure this out. But the whole issue of salvation is not getting your sins forgiven. The issue of salvation is receiving the consequence of sin, which is life over death. But in order to get that life, he had to eternally take away the cause of death and what caused spiritual death? Sin. And the reason that you and I have eternal life, my friends, is because of the eternal consequence of the cross, where there He who knew no sin became sin for me, so that I could become what? The righteousness of God In Him folks, this, this message that had anything to do with a building, it had anything to do with a building. Didn’t have anything to do with lights and walls and carpet and table. Angels. It has to do with a person who has seen his condition of lostness and come to Christ for salvation.

Now, so he said, Remember, remember the formerly, you who are Gentiles by birth. Now that’s your birth. Gentiles by birth, natural birth, you were called uncircumcised by those who call themselves the circumcision that done in the body by the hands of men. The HEBREWS, part of their law had to be circumcised, and that was one way that you could spot a HEBREW if you wanted to look that deeply. Now, what happened with the women? I don’t know, but I do know the men. And so they called Gentiles the uncircumcised, and they called themselves the circumcised. Remember that at that time, you as a Gentile, we would be talking to us. Most of us in this room today were separate from Christ. You were excluded from citizenship in Israel. Foreigners to the covenants. Had no idea what about the covenants. Had no idea about the Old Covenant, had no idea about the new covenant. Didn’t even know anything about any of them, the covenants of the promise. You were without hope. You were without God in this world. So he’s saying you were lost. But now, now there’s the contrast before and after. But now Jesus, Christ, who you once were far away from, you have been brought near through what guys? The blood of Christ. You have been brought near to God by the fact that your sins have been taken away, enabling you to walk boldly into the throne of grace, calling him what? Daddy, Father, the most intimate of terms.

It talks about that in regard to the curtain in the temple, and only once a year, the high priest could go into the Holy of Holies on his own. When he went in, they had a rope around his ankle so that in the event that he had a heart attack or died, that they could pull him out, because no one else could go in. Now that Holy of Holies was a place only for the high priest. When Jesus died, what happened to that curtain? It was torn. Was it torn from the bottom up, or was it torn from the top down? Now, guys, that was a high curtain, so there isn’t any of us tall enough to reach it. God had to do the tearing, and he ripped that curtain from top to bottom, enabling now all people to enter into the Holy of Holies, the place that is only available to the high priest and call him what? Daddy, Father, Abba, Father. If you go over to Israel today, you’ll hear the little kid saying to their father, daddy, abba, abba, Daddy, Daddy, the most intimate of terms no longer this barrier, but to be able to go boldly, boldly into the throne of grace and calling him Daddy, Father. Isn’t that something.

Do you think and you look back on the presidents of the United States, that’s a pretty powerful office, getting weaker by the day, but it’s powerful. Do you think that Obama’s kids are going to have to go through a security guard to get in to the president’s office? Think you’re going to have to say now, before you come in, you little squirts, do you have any unconfessed sin in your life. Have you done everything necessary to come in here? You say, Well, I thought it’s your child. I thought that would be what I did necessary. I was born your child. No, no, no, it’s your behavior. You think so? No, no. No, no, I’ll guarantee you they just like John Kennedy’s young John, John and kids just walked boldly into the throne of grace, into the Oval Office, the most powerful office in the world, and say, Daddy, daddy. Why? Well, because they’re his kid. And you say, well, you dumb kid, don’t you know this the President of the United States of America? Yeah, I know he’s my dad because he’s my daddy. I have access to the throne room.

Now, folks, that is precisely what God did for you and me. He took the curtain and ripped it open and said, Now, as a child, walk in. My pride is not in the fact that I was born a Gentile. And I hope your pride isn’t the fact that you were born a HEBREW. That’s putting the importance down here. God said, I got something better for you than a natural inheritance. It’s called a spiritual inheritance. I’m going to call you a child of God. You see, don’t we take that away when this is the house of God. You see, no, no, it’s children. You’re a child of the living God. That God has called you my child, and we can call him my daddy. It sounds almost ludicrous, isn’t it, to think that the God of this universe that made this universe and the vastness of it, which our head, our heads can’t even comprehend, is big enough to make the universe and then small enough to live in our hearts and say, call me daddy. That’s really unbelievable, isn’t it? But that’s what he said. And so he says that we were without hope, but now in Jesus Christ, you were who once far away have been bought near through the blood of Christ.

For listen to this, guys. Look at this. For he himself is our peace now. We can have the Peace Corps, and we can have peace signings, and we can go on and on and on. You can go negotiate, or you cannot negotiate. But I want to tell you something. There is never going to be peace in this world until the Prince of Peace comes back and every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. He is our peace. Peace is not something that happens. Peace is a person. Peace is Christ. There is no peace in the world until you have peace in your heart. And believe me, there is no such thing as peace in your heart, until you have the prince of peace in your heart. So he’s our peace. Now look what he did. He has made the two who are the two guys? The HEBREW and Gentile, into one, into one, new man. We should be glorying in that, not that I was born a HEBREW or I was born a Gentile. Who cares? You’ve got people on there arguing whether the HEBREWS are this or whether, who cares you’re lost. You got lost HEBREWS, you got lost Gentiles, and you got saved HEBREWS and you got saved Gentiles. Who cares about the history of the HEBREW or the history of the Gentile? People want to get involved in all that. Just get all prideful. Who cares? The issue is you’re here, and the issue is you’re lost, and the issue is, if you’re lost, do you want to remain lost or you don’t want to be saved? There’s the issue. I don’t care what your background is. We make big deals out of that, sit there and study our backgrounds. Well, I don’t know. I don’t want to go very far back into my background. And aren’t you glad that people don’t know enough about you to really tell what you’re like? I’ll not go any further into that.

He is our peace. He made the two Gentile and HEBREW, one, one person that we call what to as many as received him to them. He gave the right to become what guys, a child of God, not a HEBREW Christian, not a Gentile Christian, a Christian a child of God, not a HEBREW child, not a Gentile child, a child of God, a born again from above. Child of God made the two one and he has destroyed., guys, the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility. Now, guys, what is hostility? When you’re hostile toward somebody, it’s an enemy, isn’t it? And you’re hot, you have hostility toward one another. There’s a fear of one another. There’s hostile feelings toward one another. You’re not together. When you have a hostile relationship with your mate, you ain’t get along too well. And so it says here that he destroyed this barrier. So there was a barrier between HEBREW and Gentile, and it was a dividing wall of hostility. In other words, it divided what God wanted to do, and that was to bring the HEBREW and Gentile under one head. And instead of that, enmity was there between the HEBREW and the Gentile. Well, what caused the enmity between the HEBREW world and the Gentile world that God had to destroy? It was the law, and it goes ahead to say, by abolishing, now, guys, when you abolish something, the dictionary says it’s to destroy it and to do away with it and to make it void. Are we clear on that issue? He abolished, he destroyed, he did away with, he voided out the law. That what it says. Do you mean? Do you believe it? Why are we still teaching the law? Why are we still commingling law and grace in our so called Christian teaching? The Bible told us as ministers, that we’re to be ministers of the New Covenant, not of the old that kills. Why? The old covenant kills. The law kills. The only thing the law can do for you is kill you. Law can’t give you life. Law can’t make you righteous. Law can’t make you holy. All the law can do is kill you. That’s what it’s there to show you. It’s there to show you you’re a sinner and that you’re dead. That’s what it’s for. Has the law in all of your lives done its work already. If you’re saved, it has what did it do? Showed you you’re a sinner. Showed you there’s a consequence to sin called death, and you’re dead. And God says, Yeah, but there’s a solution to that, and that’s my resurrected life. And we have come to Him for what He came to give us the solution to the wages of sin, which is death, which is life. He received by faith that life and are born again, free from now what we were in bondage. So He abolished, did away with, in his flesh, the law, with its commandments and regulations. Now, guys, is there anything wrong with the commandments and regulations? Are they holy? Paul said they were said, nothing wrong with the law. It’s good and holy. But what’s the problem? When it flows through me. What does it do? It kills me. Nothing wrong with the law. I’m the problem. I’m the problem. God forbid, we’re the problem. And so he said that abolishing in his place the law with its commandments and regulations, nothing wrong with them, but as long as they’re there, it kills you. So what was his purpose in all this? Well, it says his purpose was to create in himself one new man out of what the two one new man, new man out of a HEBREW and a Gentile. That’s to take the Jew and make him a child of God, and to take the Gentile and make him a child of God.

Now, does it sound like that we’re supposed to go around now bragging on our natural heritage? I don’t see it. I don’t see it. He said, I came to make one new man, a new man, till your glory will be in the new man, that whether I was born a HEBREW or whether I was born a Gentile, that I am a child of the living God, and we are brothers and sisters. Whether you’re a HEBREW or Gentile, irrelevant. We’re brothers and sisters. Why? We got a new heritage. Any man knew any man is in Christ. He’s what a new creation. Old things have passed away, and behold, all things have become new. Got a new relationship with my Gentile brothers. I got a new relationship with my HEBREW brothers. We’re brothers in Christ before we were separated, alienated, hostile toward one another because of this law, to the HEBREW people back in those days, and to a degree in some segments, although it’s been watered down, there wasn’t the different kinds of HEBREWS back in those days, there was only the the HEBREW that performed everything, the people that wore clothes a certain way, people that had all these HEBREW regulations. Orthodox HEBREW orthodoxy was the HEBREW faith that separated them terrifically from the Gentile world, just as it does today. You go over in Israel today and to the conservative J@@, they don’t like the Orthodox. They think they’re really out to lunch, and you know what they are. They still walk around and if they’ll still shuttle and walk like this, so they won’t lust. If they’re married, there’s a sheet between them. I won’t go into the detail of that. Not allowed to touch. There’s a Shabbat elevator that you can’t push the button to get up to your floor. You can’t have milk and meat at the same time. All of these regulations, what does it say? With its commandments and regulations that was against us? So all of those are still in effect, and it separates them from the whole world and the whole world from them.
