Morning!<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you for sending the notes out from last night.\u00a0 I took lots of notes last night!\u00a0 It is so good, and I love how clear things are becoming with us.\u00a0 When you went over one of the biggest things the Lord has shown us about how Christianity did not start with Christ, never was of God, not even from its inception, it made me think of Sister Donna’s testimony when she was first learning about Jesus.\u00a0 The Spirit said to her, \u201cEvery way you think of me is filth before me.\u201d \u00a0It was resonating in my heart how precious that word from the Lord was to her, and to us when He speaks.\u00a0 He was not kidding.\u00a0 It takes us a while to catch up to Him sometimes, but God means what He says.\u00a0 He said, \u201cEVERY WAY you think of me is filth before me.\u201d\u00a0 Donna has a degree in Christian Education and was a faithful Christian at the time, so the “way\u201d was all the Christian thoughts she had about God and His Son.\u00a0 When she started to follow Jesus, the voice that was talking to her brought her out of all those ways! \u00a0(Ha! I\u2019m telling Donna\u2019s testimony, but it is so good!)<\/span><\/p>\n

What touched me so much about it last night was that we know how God feels about Christianity.\u00a0 He\u2019s been saying it to us, but when you take it in and\u00a0believe it, it takes away a fear and intimidation\u00a0and respect toward Christianity that doesn\u2019t belong in the hearts of God’s children.\u00a0 We can think the thoughts that God has toward a thing, and be free!\u00a0 This last time going through the Iron Kingdom book 4: “The Synthesis”, really opened up my mind and heart to the nothingness of church religion.\u00a0 The only thing in it that is good is God\u2019s people, and the Spirit is calling them out of it!<\/span><\/p>\n

That thought of knowing how God feels about Christianity is as precious as someone who has received the Holy Ghost outside of Christianity.\u00a0 If you can receive God\u2019s baptism outside of church religion, you don\u2019t need it.\u00a0 And many have!\u00a0 What Jesus does is sufficient. That\u2019s what he says about his baptism!\u00a0 If the other way of baptism is \u201cfilth before him\u201d, it\u2019s not his baptism.\u00a0 What other things have we learned that we can do without from Christianity?!\u00a0 You can apply it to any of the truths of God we have learned.\u00a0 When Jesus makes it plain, it just is!\u00a0 Like you said, and have said many times before, it\u2019s not our fault what Jesus has shown us, but thank the Lord he did!\u00a0 He had mercy on us.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whew, we have been on a journey, “working the road” as you said last night.\u00a0 Jesus is really trying to get through to us and to his people\u00a0everywhere to go beyond just \u201cbelieving that Jesus is Lord\u201d.\u00a0 You said last night, “You don\u2019t have to repent to believe God – demons believe.\u00a0 Jesus said, He that comes to God must believe, [first] that He is, and that He is a Rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.\u00a0 You seek him because you believe He is there.\u00a0 But, believing is not the reward Jesus gives.\u00a0 If you diligently seek him, you will go beyond seeking!\u201d \u00a0And that is where God\u2019s Spirit, the Holy Ghost, which His Son died for us to have,\u00a0 is\u2026..that\u2019s what comes next \u2013 the reward.<\/span><\/p>\n

I sure wish God\u2019s people, our brothers and sisters, would believe that, and take it into their hearts.\u00a0 Do the research.\u00a0 Find out the history of their religion.\u00a0 Care enough about your own soul to do it.\u00a0 The answers are there waiting.\u00a0 Like you said last night, \u201cYou are betting your life on whatever it is that you believe.\u201d \u00a0It\u2019s worth finding out.\u00a0 And there is some really good things to be discovered!\u00a0 Jesus IS exciting.<\/span><\/p>\n

I could go on and on, but I just want to say how thankful I am to know the truths of God and see them the way God sees them.\u00a0 Without Him showing us, we wouldn\u2019t know anything.\u00a0 Like Sister Willie said last night, \u201cI am out of Christianity as much as I know, but if there is anything still there, I want it out!\u00a0 I want no part of that.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is sister Donna\u2019s testimony if anyone would like to hear it.\u00a0 I listened to it this morning.\u00a0 Wonderful! \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n
