NOW this is church

Definitions: S=Gods Spirit and s=mans spirit. Sspirit=Gods Spirit and mans spirit co-joined

Yesterday I was reading Acts 5:42
And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

This verse is a wonderful example of the difference between spirit and natural church. Lets state why and then give some modern day now examples of what is happening. Firstly a person who is natural in default will admire Peter and the other apostles approach here. They would read how daily they were in the temple and in every house and they would aspire to copy such. They would see this as a verse for house church or such and totally miss the spirit in the verse.

If we are going to talk about the Sspirit in this verse we best use the example of someone here. As Fred went about his life he was visiting his uncle in England he had not seen in many years. His uncle now has dementia and a bunch of health issues. Basically the uncle is fighting death and was waiting for its cold grip to overpower him. As Fred sat making small talk he noticed the many theological books on the book shelf and commented how he had read many of these himself but now sees them as useless as they are just a gathering of knowledge. Fred went on to share with his uncle about romance of the Sspirit and how is surpasses knowledge in-fact it is the knowledge of God that limits us. His uncle seemed to snap back into being a coherent man and it was as if there was no dementia . Fred had been speaking to the man’s spirit and his spirit came alive. His uncle called his wife into the room and was so excited telling her Fred had just given him the missing piece he had been wanting his whole life. Fred and his uncle wept together as now this man had finally arrived home and joined the true church of Jesus Christ, made up of those who worship him the bible says in Spirit and in truth.

Really truth is something to many that is so subjective and transitory. But when approach in Spirit truth is absolute unchangeable and life. We can never know truth in our heads as our heads are so influenced by life, circumstances, emotion and this world. But when in Sspirit church, truth is who we are and walking in truth is life. If one thinks he can worship in truth by attaining knowledge of what God wants he is a fool. There are so many denominations spouting the truth of their persuasion. Yes of course each is equally more correct than the other as they have Spirit that brings truth. The problem is the Spirit has been relegated to knowledge in their lives. Knowledge of the bible, knowledge of rights and wrongs and so forth. They live in the law and profess to be free taking pride in their years of gathered experience and knowledge. Such are deluded by the default of the carnal natural man.
But here was Freds uncle with a degenerated mind. The mind of a man who had received Jesus in his life previous and spent a lifetime gathering knowledge of what that means. Now beyond the debenture decay of his natural mind the Holy Spirit spoke and life IS.

Next he was in a religious commune his parents live on and the Sspirit life that flowed there was amazing maybe you can ask him to share. He drove literally from house to house visiting old friends and family. In each place he had Cchurch. Not by plan or organizing anything he just was being Matt and Sspirit IS. He sat in the airport and students sat with him as he shared Sspirit. Now understand sharing Sspirit was not knowledge it is who Matt IS. You see modern evangelism says share about Jesus but Sspirit evangelism says be Yyou and lives are changed. He flew back in from England and two days later ended up in Chicago visiting another brother. Being stuck in the airport Fred spent the day again sharing his life with whoever came along. Oddly enough it was students again who were drawn to him and they sat and spoke of life. Sspirit came up as how could it not when it is who you are.

The next day he was sitting at what some would call his work. The trouble is Fred collects no pay. He goes to a work place as that is where God puts him some days. He stopped paying himself months ago really. He is just there as that is where Sspirit life takes him, his boss is being romanced by Spirit and Fred longs for the day he surrenders control relaxes and enters true life. So now he spent his first day back sharing with a woman about Sspirit life. This woman was trying to understand Spirit in her life and the light came on. She wept and left a new woman now understanding the God wooing to romance that she had been experiencing.

Fred had been away for a few weeks and spent his rent money. I remember when he left his comment was God will take care of it. He even told his landlord he had no clue where rent would come from. Well I guess money turned up in his account and his rent got paid.

I could go on and on but you get the idea. Fred is church and the world is his chapel. Really we could say the world is his church and a Sspirit koinonia person is life wherever they go. Church is being discovered in ways we have never seen before or imagined and as we refrain from making patterns and formulas of the carnal life IS. Yes the religious are always looking for ways to control such and let’s be frank they have controlled Spirit so much look at the mess we have now. They cry and wine for God to fix the mess, they struggle to understand why the results of their sacrifice have not been greater and are completely blind to the self righteousness they live in the default of. Yes they may have bottoms on seats in pews but are devoid of a Sspirit lifestyle and they know it. These folks are program orientated as they constantly needs challenges and action around them to get validation from. Validating themselves to themselves they are what Jude says
These people are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm—shepherds who feed only themselves. They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted—twice dead.

So lets talk Spirit church to a natural defaulted person they would come to visit us and say these people have nothing going on. To a Sspirit defaulted person when visiting there would be a celebration like no other as the happenings called life are astounding our natural man.

The Sspirit life flows coming in are from an excited generation of koinonia changing the world by being Mme. If you want testimony you miss the point the testimony is called , Fred, Matt, Scott, Daniel, Joe, John,etc
