Pastor John<\/span><\/p>\n

I think the Conclusion* of the IK4 book that you have written is one of the greatest things I’ve ever read\/heard.\u00a0\u00a0It took me some place that I couldn’t leave.\u00a0\u00a0It 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of the second page, you said the way out of that abomination was “obedience.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I LOVE that because it puts so many things in order.\u00a0\u00a0It means\u00a0that\u00a0we\u00a0are not at war with Christianity; it is not our enemy, nor is its destruction the goal of your work.\u00a0\u00a0As you have said for years, “They can have Christianity;\u00a0I just want God’s people out.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Your work shines a light on where Jesus really is\u2014in a life lived in Spirit and in truth\u2014outside of that institution.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your work\u00a0sounds a trumpet\u00a0and shines a light for God’s spirit-filled children to follow, if they will just obey his voice and come out.\u00a0\u00a0That is our job.\u00a0\u00a0To 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.\u00a0\u00a0And he is not a “place,” but a Life.<\/span><\/p>\n

If all the heavenly things that God teaches us does nothing else, it makes us burn brighter if we’ll become it,\u00a0and it makes us more visible to his wandering children.\u00a0\u00a0Wow.\u00a0\u00a0So,\u00a0all these things given from God aren’t just for us, even if they are only given to us.\u00a0\u00a0Because if we consume them, we become brighter lights in this dark world.\u00a0\u00a0Brighter lights for God’s children everywhere to see.\u00a0\u00a0What a beautiful responsibility!<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve got to go back to work.<\/span><\/p>\n
