I believe that organized religion has been the single most division between God and his children. If one falls short of the dictates of a religious sect it's no wonder... And every religious organization will tell you that they are the one, the way to Heaven, the club to belong to, the right people. These are created by man, not by God's hand. Genesis has no passage or verse that said, "then God created Church.." but God is with us always, in the kitchen and in the bathroom, in the closet and in the car, in the market and where you eat, in the light and in the dark, He is there.
As a young child, I ran wildly from church to church, trying to find the right umbrella under which to stand that was encompassed by God. I was baptized, saved, born again, and baptized some more, and still confused and a sinner by some means under every one. I think I was ready for the psych ward when walking home from catechism realizing I was already condemned to hell yet thinking I had not lived long enough to bring about such punishment (about age 9) .
The Holy Father gave us the book. All we need to know is in it. Whatever you need is in there. Right there, in black and white (with a bit a red and blue, depending on your version). What God needs us to know was written down for all to see. It is God's word.
I was told by Jesus in the days just prior to my healing, that I was to bring as many people to him as possible. I have planted many seeds, though find prominent resistance. I believe this is the wreckage of some church that immediately flashes into their minds. That they couldn't measure up in that in church, doesn't mean that they can't measure up to God. They are his children. Of course they are good enough and He loves them all.
Now I attend a Bible based church and it is wonderful. There is joy, song, and dance, and high praise to the Lord and to God. It isn't an oppressive thing; but total freedom and love ;D . It's the only place I have actually felt Jesus drawn to communion. It's the only place I have seen the Lord with my eyes.
Please pray with me that the Divine Holy Spirit be known, over this temporary earthly experience. The best is yet to come.
God's immense blessings to you all,
Grace
