The fear of God is not present in the church because the church today is man made. People aren't saved, their religious. The movement today isn't complicated, God is calling people from religiosity to salvation, to Himself, to Christ as Head. Only then, when people are actually saved, will they gather together in one mind, spirit and body under the absolute headship of the living and risen Christ. Most of what you see out there today is nothing like God's church that is born naturally from Christ and operates naturally by Christ. Just as Eve was created from Adam while he was asleep and lived as a soul mate to him, so we, the church, are born by grace through faith alone, from Christ to live in Christ and for Christ. People describe church through physical expressions: buildings, pastors, pulpits, pews, ministries, boards, clergy, etc. Whereas the true church is first and foremost a heavenly living organism. Raised up with Christ in the heavenly places here and now we operate from the inside out. His life within from the heavenly places overflowing into this realm to carry out the powerful work of the Holy Spirit in us. Our job? Only to stop, listen, and commune with our personal Lord and Savior by faith. We got saved by grace through faith alone, we can only live by grace through faith alone. Col 2:6 Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him.. As we seek the face of Him who made us, saved us, and moves in us, we will reflect Him to a lost and dieing world.
Eph 2:1-10 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, 2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. 3 Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. NASU
May God's message for today's church be heard loud and clear.
