5/17/13: What is a True Church / Praise Report

Greeting All Beloved:

 

Five Wrong Definitions or Impression of A Church:

1. A church is not a building with the cross on the roof; a Church is the Body of Christ.  A church is the believers of Christ of two or three gathering together and God is in the midst of them (Matthew 18:19,20).   Your salvation and personal relationship with Christ has nothing to do with a group of people in a building.  People with like mind and same heart and spirit will draw together for fellowship.

 

2. A church is not just a pastor/a priest (one man like a keynote speaker or president) behind the pulpit preaching on Sunday or Saturday; it should be included the revelations and work of other gifted ministers of faith: the Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Teachers to work with the pastors as the Holy Spirit leads (1 Corinthians 12, 14:1-3, 26-33, Ephesians 4:11-17, Acts 13:13-16, 46 (both Paul and John rose and spoke on Sabbath Day), 21:8-11 (4 virgin daughters and prophet Abagus prophesied)).     

 

3. A church is not just a gathering place in a physical assembly hall on Sundays or Saturdays but is a Spiritual Sanctuary of God (Spiritual Tabernacle) any day, any time, and any place for gathering to praise and to worship in spirit and in truth; it can be at a home, in a restaurant, on top of the mountain, in the park, etc. (John 4:23,24, Acts 1:12-14, 2:41-47, 16:13, 20:7).

 

4. A church is not the beauty of the outward but the inward (mind, heart, soul, and spirit) of every believer (Galatian 5, Romans 8).

 

5. A church is not like an organization of the world to make profits but is truly a House of Prayer (Worship, Praises, Thanksgiving, Fragrant (Sacrificial) Offerings and Petitions to God) for all nations (Isaiah 56:7, Mark 11:17, Romans 1:10, 12:12, 1 Thessalonians 5:17).

 

Attention: Please pray against the traditions, formality, religious rituals, and the carnal minds and worldly ways of any churchMay God restore all churches who are in the wrong direction!  We pray in Jesus' name!  

 

I discovered in different occasions, some came to our ministry location or parking and drove away without walking in for whatever unknown reasons (i.e. could be a wrong image of a church as I discussed above).  During our last Saturday worship service, the Lord told or reminded me that those who should have been in my ministry didn't show up to meet His divine appointments and as a result, they always have problems that came the same day, the next day, or later such as being sick for a week, a broken car (mechanical failure), the loss of finances, accidents, or major illnesses.  God knows the future and he is able to protect you from all losses and harm by making a way like having me to serve you, pray for you, and feed you His Word, etc. 

 

I wrote to two recipients: "Hearing the prophets means hearing God.  Fear and have faith in the Prophets. 2 Chronicles 20:20 says "Have faith in the Lord your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful.”  "... the people obeyed the voice of the Lord their God and the message of the prophet Haggai, because the Lord their God had sent him. And the people feared the Lord." (Haggai 1:12).  1 Samuel 12:18 says "So Samuel (a prophet of God) called to the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day; and all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel." "  I don't curse but warn, bless, and pray for people; ultimately, it is God who judges and says "I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you." (Genesis 12:3).  Also Jesus in Matthew 10:40, 41 says "He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me. 41 He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward..."  So be blessed by obeying and blessing prophets and anointed ones of God!

 

Honestly speaking, God has chosen me for a great ministry that the people including leaders and pastors whom I met can be ministered well in a deeper personal way.  I do not desire a great number but whomever God sends because especially today, the people need personal attention, spiritual guidance, and caring that may consume much of my time during the service time on Saturdays and the weekdays.  I must obey God to make them true followers of Christ (disciples) as the Lord has commanded in Matthew 28:19, 20.  We have a real church with the presence of God.  As a prophetess, I oversee other churches besides my own for I am called for that purpose and have been very obedient and faithful to God's calling.  I have been taught by God Himself and I only teach the sound doctrine of the Bible, not men's theology and ideas, psychology, and philosophy.  Glory to our Lord!

 

One Powerful Testimony: One brother said he has been blessed for coming only three Saturdays.  He even told me that he wants to tell everyone about my ministry.  A week before last Saturday, we missed one helper;  I prayed to God for help; this brother showed up early 9:15 am to rescue me.  He said God told him to come early without knowing my need for help.  During our prayer, God asked me through a vision to give him $20.  I obeyed; then I found that he needs $20 for a new belt and other things.  Wow!  Who knows?  God may even give him $20,000 or $200,000 somewhere and somehow and much spiritual blessing if he continues to obey.  Due to our obedience, we experienced miracles together in just one morning.  PTL!

 

Please do not mainly come to church for healing, for provision, for a pastor, for a friend, or for other personal reasons but for Jesus,  Him alone.  Jesus Christ is the healer, the provider, the deliverer, and the restorer!  He owns everything you need!  Do you get it?  He is the way, the life, and the truth! (John 14:6).  You have all you need if you have Him, the true source of all perfect things from above! 

 

Urgent Prayer Requests: Please pray for the major U.S. issues of IRS, Benghazi attack, subpoena of AP phone records.  May God continue to expose everything to those in authority.  We have been praying for justice and God answered!

("..questions over the administration's response to the Benghazi attack; the IRS' practice of targeting conservatives; and a recent Department of Justice secret subpoena for two months' worth of AP phone records."   I believe those violators in authority should go to jail like other criminals (Romans 13).  I agree with what Boehner said.)
