i believed that "Our Father" wanted me to post this letter i had written almost twenty-one years ago, and then i know and believe that HE helped me find a copy of the letter. Father Help! and HE does....... September 10, 1991 "A Community of Believers", "Trust in YHVH with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge HIM, and HE shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear YHVH and depart from evil." (Proverbs 3:5-7) "Oh YHVH, I know the way of man is not in himself; it is not in man who walks to direct his own steps. Oh YHVH, correct me, but with justice; Not in YOUR anger, lest YOU bring me to nothing." "Lead me in YOUR Truth and teach me, for YOU are The GOD of my salvation; on YOU i wait all the day." "Wait on YHVH, be of good courage, and HE shall strengthen your heart; wait, i say, on YHVH!" "I am weary with my crying; my throat is dry; my eyes fail while i wait for my GOD." (Jeremiah 10:23-24, Psalms 25:5, 27:14, 69:3) "Wait upon The LORD", "Let patience have her perfect work", "They who worship GOD must worship HIM in Spirit and Truth"! "Let all things be done decently and in order"! Question? "Who is able to order the worship of GOD"? "Is it in man who is not able to order his own steps"? As far as i can see, and i may not have seen others, there is only one place in The New Testament that speaks of brethren coming together with the intent being to worship GOD. What is written in 1 Corinthians 14:26-40 i believe to be simple, and easily understood by all who have not been indoctrinated into another way, apart from GOD's Way. Now, is man able to order the worship of GOD in Spirit and Truth? Must not The Holy Spirit lead and guide into all Truth? There are many who have the song, song, prayer, reading, sermon, prayer, collection, song, benediction "mentality" masquerading as "spirituality". An order established of man, for man. Is not The Holy Spirit able to order the worship of The Only True GOD, with all brethren open to the Spirit's leading? The Testimonies speak, "When you come together Brethren, every one of you has a psalm, has a doctrine, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation." Now, "Who are the every one of you"? Has The Holy Spirit put a time limit on the worship of The Only True GOD, or has man? Can anyone say that the worship of GOD has to be for a specified amount of time? A busyness keeps time, should the worship of GOD in Spirit and Truth be organized liken unto a busyness? Does not "The Body of The Messiah" have The Holy Spirit to lead and guide them into all Truth? Are there to be time constraints put on such a "weighty" matter as the worship of The Only True GOD? What would be "wrong" with a twenty minute or three hour time of worship? In a mere twenty minutes GOD could work innumerable miracles if HE were allowed to work HIS Way, through HIS Spirit, and not the spirit of man! Would there be unrighteousness in silent prayer and waiting upon GOD? If Brethren were open to the leading of The Holy Spirit, and The Spirit would lead none to speak, then such silence would be a blessing indeed! Any time ordered of The Holy Spirit would be a blessing! Tell me, "What spirit is in a clock"? or "having lunch on time"? Oh, how i pray that i could make clear that which is in my heart. Oh, the perverseness of mankind and his order! Oh, the evil of this day! Oh, the abominable commandments and doctrines of men that have brought to naught The Power of GOD in the life given them! Oh Father, help us to see only THEE, THY Spirit, THY Word! Oh Father, help us to be vessels empty of all vanity and philosophies of mankind, to be empty of all doctrines and commandments of men, so that you might fill us with YOUR Holy Spirit, fill us with YOUR Word, YOUR Way, YOUR Truth and The Life! Father Help! and HE does...(this last line was not in the original letter) Peace, in spite of the dis-ease(dis-order) that is of this world and it's systems of religion....... And HOPE IS! For TRUTH IS! Our Father, HE yet communes with HIS children!
They can simply read all of those and a whole lot more in the Bible. But it would have been good if you had addressed what Jesus commanded us to preach, and ask, are we doing what He said? But that's another subject.
Ezek 33:30-32 "Come, I pray you, and hear what is The Word that comes forth from YHVH. And they come unto you as as people come, and they sit before you as MY people, and they hear your words, but they will not do them, for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their covetousness. And, lo, you are unto them as a very lovely song of one that has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument, for they hear your words, but they do them not!" Matt 15:7-9 "You hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, "This people draws near unto ME(YHVH) with their mouth, and honors ME with their lips, but their heart is far from ME. But in vain they do worship ME, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." So it is that all systems of religion but carry on the legacy of the pharisee's )-; "Come Out of her(babel>confusion<>babylon<>world<religion), MY people!"
