I think the Conclusion* of the IK4 book that you have written is one of the greatest things I’ve ever read/heard. It took me some place that I couldn’t leave. It really was a love letter at the end, as someone said, inviting souls to be loved and to live, versus the alternative to life that is being offered by the institution of Christianity.
At the end of the second page, you said the way out of that abomination was “obedience.”
I LOVE that because it puts so many things in order. It means that we are not at war with Christianity; it is not our enemy, nor is its destruction the goal of your work. As you have said for years, “They can have Christianity; I just want God’s people out.”
Your work shines a light on where Jesus really is—in a life lived in Spirit and in truth—outside of that institution.
Your work sounds a trumpet and shines a light for God’s spirit-filled children to follow, if they will just obey his voice and come out. That is our job. To be what Jesus is and to shine with His spiritual light in a world that will ridicule and despise us, so God’s children can see the way to Him. And he is not a “place,” but a Life.
If all the heavenly things that God teaches us does nothing else, it makes us burn brighter if we’ll become it, and it makes us more visible to his wandering children. Wow. So, all these things given from God aren’t just for us, even if they are only given to us. Because if we consume them, we become brighter lights in this dark world. Brighter lights for God’s children everywhere to see. What a beautiful responsibility!
I’ve got to go back to work.
