The deceiver has been very clever in building church systems over the past several hundred years that offer the sheep artificial substitutes causing spiritual malnutrition, but being similar enough to fool the soul of many.
I’ve said for years and it is worth repeating, when the adversary realized he could not defeat the Ekklesia after a few centuries of hard persecution by the Roman Empire, he decided to erect a false substitute look-alike system of “church” instead, so the followers of Christ would be fooled and trapped in it, and become fruitless for the Kingdom. By doing so, he has kept people thinking they are serving God and being fruitful, when in fact they are participating in a tremendous scam being passed on from generation to generation.
But, there has always been a remnant in each generation that refused the margarine substitute and would only be satisfied seeking first the Kingdom of Heaven and the sweet and thick honey butter of the glory realm made from the milk of El Shaddai and churned by angelic hands guided by Ruach HaKodesh.
Religious spirits lie to people imprisoned in religious systems of “church” and tell them they cannot taste the good stuff yet, they must wait until they die. The same people that will rigorously insist a doctrine of belief be biblical will assert this belief though Scripture says no such thing. There is no such rule ever mentioned in Scripture. There is no such limit ever placed on the Ekklesia of Christ that can be found in Scripture, that to partake of the reality of goodness of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with the angelic hosts and the rest of mankind born into the Kingdom of Heaven, you must first physically die.
In fact, Scripture says something the carnal mind cannot grasp. It says we are already dead when naturally born into this experience of the first death and this darkness of the world full of condemnation, afflicted by evil on every side. What people call life, when speaking of the mortal body, God does not define as life. He defines the existence mankind fell into as death. We’ve been eating the wrong fruit and following that crafty deceiver in death. Only those who become free indeed in Christ, born anew of the Holy Spirit, new spirit children of El Elyon, are considered living by God.
We are alive. And those of us who are alive in Christ cannot abide in death, neither can we stomach the food from the table of death, no matter how religiously nice the deceiver displays it as.
The more we grow in this, the more the artificial churchianity makes us sick. I came into Christ in 1985 and remember it like it was yesterday, as you should too if you were made a new creation. It is not an experience one can easily forget. You either were, or you were not, transformed by Holy Spirit into a brand new creation. We are speaking of the spirit, not the flesh. The flesh and soul remain the same and become transformed by renewing as we work out our salvation. You look in the mirror and you look the same. But inside, you knew you were brand new, a whole new creation in Christ, or you didn’t. Religious conversion is worthless when eternity is considered.
I didn’t understand it in my natural mind, but from 1985 on, there was a real distaste I developed for churchianity. In fact, as I grew into my teenage years, I couldn’t understand why people calling themselves Christians and saying they had experienced what I did could stomach it. They kept trying to feed it to me every Sunday and Wednesday, but I just couldn’t eat it. It made me spiritually vomit. You get a baby used to good ole sweet breast milk from the mother, and the baby will not want formula. Only babies never raised on the good stuff will not know that the substitute isn’t right and is of lesser quality and taste. I had suckled on Mother Ruach and when churchianity tried to give me formula, I just couldn’t swallow it!
Then they tried feeding me some kind of Spam from a can of religion, and I couldn’t stomach that either, because I’d already feasted on the flesh of Christ. They tried giving me that watered down grape juice of churchdom, and I couldn’t have it, because I’d already gotten used to the real deal, the wine of the covenant! In every stage of growing up spiritually, the artificial never was appealing, and it made me wonder at those who loved it so much, but rejected the real deal when it is offered by God’s grace. Is such a person really His child? I’m not the Judge, but it doesn’t make sense to me.
As a natural teenager, I’d gotten so fed up with the garbage dump of religion, knowing it just wasn’t right, I was supposed to be feasting at the King’s table as one of his blessed children, that I fell into a trap of rebellion. Though the desire to rebel against the satanic counterfeit of man’s churchianity was good, the enemy came and used that desire to tempt me into worldly teenager type of rebellion. Once in that trap, I ended up headlong into unrighteous living in the world like one of the world’s. But, having been a son, and waking up to find myself hungry one day in the pig pen, which at that time happened to be in Nashville :0), this prodigal decided being a servant in Daddy’s house would be better than living in the muck and eating the slop of the world.
So, I repented and ran home to Daddy’s arms of love and was offered grace again. And boy oh boy did the good stuff get served at the party, which has been going on now for 9 years! At this party I’ve been feasting on the delicious lamb Father has prepared, the perfect bread of the covenant buttered with Mama El Shaddai’s special recipe, and drinking the supremely intoxicating wine poured out from big brother’s wounds!
I was a youth pastor at a church here in Ohio. First-love passion is odd in most churches of the west, you dig? I tried to get others in on the grand feast, which I had to spend hours partaking of a day. It was just too good to pull away! I found that most weren’t interested. Just a handful of youth showed some level of real interest, though others may have been secretly. Everyone around me seemed completely satisfied with the artificial stuff of churchianity and a lukewarm existence. Churches say they want revival, but they mean only on their own terms. When the real stuff of heaven comes down, even just a little, they reject it. They’ve gotten so used to the artificial substitutes, the real heavenly stuff seems to be wrong.
This is not a put down on people. This is a wake up call! The problem is the adversary and his deception. We love the people who are being fooled, as we all have been at some time, but want them to have the Light shining in their direction to show what the tangle of webs of deception they are in. Knowing something is wrong is the first step to getting it fixed!
If you read this, and you have been satisfied with churchianity in the world, and do not get fat and intoxicated spiritually on the feast and wine of heaven, why? There is no good reason you should continue being satisfied with artificial substitutes the adversary and his men have made up. Heaven has laid out a perfect and fully satisfying banquet for all men to partake in if they will, in Christ! He’s not asking you to be religious, unless speaking of true religion which is helping the needy. Help the needy, by all means! But speaking of religion as the religious systems of religious institutions, why bother? Why put that garbage in you? You may have not realized it is garbage yet, but now you should, and the anointing of God confirms it if you want the Truth.
Just say no to artificial substitutes! Drink the pure milk. Eat the heavenly honey. Feast on the flesh of the lamb of God, and drink the cup of wine of his blood. Drink until you are inebriated! Then keep drinking and stay inebriated on the love of God poured fourth in that cup, by the shedding of his blood.
Drink until your mouth is bloodstained! This cup of the covenant is supremely intoxicating. You will know you are actually drinking by faith when you are being intoxicated from the inner man, all the way through the soul. If you are somber and what others would call religious all or most of the time, rather than intoxicated most of the time, you are partaking of the wrong stuff. You need to change your diet and drinking habits and say no to that filth religious institutions pawn off on you, that have some outward likeness to the real thing, but do not contain the power of the real thing. If the drink you are drinking isn’t powerful and knocking you off your donkey, it is a fake!
A little helpful hint here: Religiousness tells you that you have to be holy before you can properly partake of the Lord’s table. It tells you that you should not partake unless you are worthy and remain worthy. The truth is that it is partaking of the Lord’s table of communion that makes one worthy. The outward ritual of communion only typifies this in the natural for us to see. The real communion is spirit and truth.
He makes you holy. He makes you worthy. In fact, he already made you holy and worthy when he said, “It is finished!” The veil was torn, because the Way is open for all who will enter! The only way to partake in the Lord’s table unworthily is to wear the wrong garments to the supper. That is, your own garments. Garments of self-righteousness. Garments of religion. Garments of unbelief in what Christ did FOR us, that we cannot do ourselves. Ignoring what Christ has done is what disqualifies someone from the Table. That is all that can disqualify us. No sin is stronger than the sacrifice of the lamb made for it already. Any doctrine that says different is false and antichrist. Churchianity is full of such doctrines of devils.
Be free, be blessed, be full on the feast God has prepared for you!
