God gets us doing stuff en route to exercise our faith muscles , show a bit of love and manifest Presence . There's candlestick and there's Khavod .
The " en route " is not the target .
The young man stage is not the target in 1 John 2.
The turning valleys of weeping into early rains is not the target . Psalm 84.
Europe became a Catholic dominion of Hapsburgs.
America became a slopeshoulder place of Commander in Chiefs .
People believe for revivals . They preach as commanded .
But who, as a people learn Presence living ?
Living outside heirarchy .
Praying the Lord's Prayer . Expecting the Kingdom.
The Kingdom must kind of happen where the three inner prayers are addressed . Kingdom doesn't really come . It's here now being fused out , short circuited out by WILL not doing the will being done right now in heaven .
We have quite a lot to learn but our training is ecclesia . Ecclesia is lived live with a Head off Creation .
Catholicism , Anglicanism Orthodox is not ecclesia
Evangelicalism and charismatic is not ecclesia .
Ecclesia has one basic rule that Jesus spoke .
Where two or three are gathered in My Name there am I in your midst .
Ecclesia has 3 basic rules in a larger form , written by Paul in 1 Corinthians 12.
All is led by the Holy Spirit in a manner Corinthians had learned as pagans moved by false spirits .
In the Old Testament they were positioned round a supernatural pillar of fire and cloud .
In all churches except modern Quakers , people sing to establish Presence . We enter His gates with thanksgiving in our hearts . We enter His courts with praise . Fallen spirits hate praise . But we can't also say Jesus is Lord but by the Holy Spirit .
Sure we can mouth the words , but they are hollow until we have established God's Presence among us .
The sacrifice in praise is in saying , no matter the confusion , the conflicts , the lacks , the bad relationships , yet I will praise the Lord . The truth is Jesus is Lord .
A lot of what doesn't appear properly as Kingdom , are quite simple reasons that can be rectified .
But they are reasons controlled by principalities and powers . As we praise , we confirm our position in Christ . He has made us to sit with Him far above all principalities and powers .
Let's take an example .
Pakistan has loads of problems. They also have generational Brick Kiln slaves like India .
Both India and Pakistan are one of the last cultures on earth after 1839 ruling by William Wilberforce and 1989 when Switzerland , filled with Occult dynasties , finally banned slavery themselves , leaving these Asian countries as some of the most backward countries on earth .
But Pakistan's problems are simply rectified. Their government is squandering 70% of the people's spending on military budget . The Prime Minister Imran Khan who attempted to change this insanity has been imprisoned for 14 years .
Often the Devil makes causes of problems seem unfathomable and God very far off , but God hasn't changed, a whole country are submitting themselves to utter fools who are not carrying out the will of the people and International law is in place to see correct forms of governance .
The earth belongs to the sons of men not to Principalities and powers squandering resources for continuing war , suffering and Loosh which gives them energy .
To the extent that Islam and Catholicism do not seem to change this , is the extent they manifest that they are hooked into Principalities and powers and not the God of heaven.
So we begin by praise . We refuse bitterness which eats into our own agency in God . And we come Into the God of Order who sees the suffering of every last person begging in Pakistan .
The psalms of ascent take us into authority where in the power of the Spirit we can begin serving the Lord by night or in the Dark circumstance , and speak blessing out of the true heavenly Zion , of the Throne of God.
That was a digression as an example of establishing the Holy Spirit as the One who leads gatherings .
And to continue , Paul says there are 3 major DIVERSES by which the Holy Spirit has us learning ecclesia and by extension, the flow of the Holy Spirit in all our life .
1 Corinthians 12 says , the Holy Spirit can move anybody at all in spiritual gifts . ( People are born again and Baptised in the Spirit as we were in the 1970s Jesus Move see 2023 film Jesus Revolution )
The Holy Spirit can move any ministry gift through a common eldership ' revealed before God in Zion ' ps.84 Pastor is a gift , but there is no one person in charge . That's what ecclesia means as a word .
Paul uses 3 lists of around 14 different ministry types . 1 Corinthians 12:27-28. Romans 12:6-8. Ephesians 4.11 One is called simply leader , but it doesn't say there is one leader , nor the realm in which he leads . Stephen led in the area of helps ministry .
The third DIVERSE is called operations of the Spirit .
This is Sovereign . This is the stuff of revival Presence . This is to do with keys for each meeting .
What is the particular purpose of that gathering .
Each gathering itself can be likened to
Outer Courts ..... absolutely anybody led by God
Inner courts ....the Holy Spirit using the giftings of the ministries
Holiest Place where the Holy Spirit takes over .
Sometimes , like the Lord's Prayer , it's a total takeoff in praise and worship , the last phrases.
Or everybody flat on their face in awe.
Or waves of healing and deliverance .
Or people coming to Jesus .
Or signs like glory cloud
Who knows at this point , as we relearn thirdlevel Church where one man is nolonger in charge ,but we learn our role as Melchizedek priests under the Great High Priest of this order , Jesus Himself .
Disclaimer . My information about Imran Khan comes from a Pakistani Muslim student working here .
Christians point out that Imran Khan worked against them . He is even seen on YouTube declaring that Jesus Christ is fictitious .
The Koran itself doesn't even claim that .
Perhaps Pakistanis know for sure whether the charges against Imran 1. Are true .2. Are true but even so The Government are squandering 70 % of the populations taxes on their military rather than using them to benefit the population and pay for legitimate Government costs .
3.Are false, and lies about misappropriation of funds .
Trying to get straight answers about Wilfrid Wong a solicitor imprisoned for 4 years in the UK while trying to rescue an abused child to safety is difficult enough . He is a Christian and has led a number to the Lord while in prison . All the public information supports the imprisonment .
