“Wisdom and Knowledge”
through
“Spirit and Truth”
By the Grace of God He has given me more than I could ever ask, for He knows my needs. Spiritually in the wilderness with Him by His Grace and Holy Spirit he humbles me. It is easier for me the hear the Gentleness of His Holy Spirit in my Life and the pain that Christ endured on the Cross for what type of man I was before God called me to His Son. It is easy for me to say, Jesus Christ the Son of God is my Salvation and through Grace given to me I am called to Christ to see Eternal Life through Him. For Christ is the only way to Abba, Father, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The God of Israel.
I trust in Him for He has given me Insight, Wisdom and Knowledge to understand the depth of the body of Christ and the Foundation which He has laid. He is the Cornerstone, Peter was the Rock and as he and the other Apostles have built upon that foundation, we the body of Christ through Spirit and Truth have “Entered Into Their Labor” for the foundation has already been laid.
Many do not realize they are tearing down the Foundation that Jesus Christ laid the Day He rose to His Glory and now sits beside God on His Throne. Division is evident in the world today and leads many astray. Many shepherds minister to Itching ears, are entertainers, and love gifts that are the tokens for preaching the Word of God, making merchandise of those seeking the Grace and Salvation of God through Jesus Christ the Son. Riches, Stardom, Glass Cathedrals, Gold Cups and Idols, and Tangible Statutes are the fore front to be seen of men’s glory, rather than seeking God Eternal Kingdom in “Spirit and Truth” through Jesus Christ the Lord.
The Church is the body of Jesus Christ and if the Holy Spirit dwells in the body, that body is “one” with the Body of Christ. By the Spirit of Love which is God, if we have the Holy Spirit within men, we shall discern and know the Elect of God by their fruit. And “We All are One in the Body of Christ” if we are in the Spirit of the Lord and the Spirit dwells in us.
But divisions, religions, denominations tare down the bond between Christ and His True Church, the Foundation which was laid by His Blood on the Cross.
The day Jesus Christ looked up to Heaven and said, “Abba, Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. Into thy Hands I commend “My Spirit” and He “Gave up the Ghost”.
That same “Ghost” the Holy Spirit He gave up, we now have in us to them that believe in Faith, Worship Him in Spirit and Truth. No Man on this earth can take that from us, For the Church is in “Us” for “Christ is in Us” which is His Spirit, He gave the Gift of God, to men on the day of Pentecost and now today continues to give the Gift of the Holy Spirit to those that believe on the Son of God and are called by God to the Son. We are not saved by going to so called “church”, for “WE” that are called and chosen are the “Church” come together to Glorify His name and fellowship the Hope, Joy, Love, and companionship of each other through a bond that can not be put into words.
The carnal man can not understand this bond, nor can it receive the things of God and the Spirit for they are spiritually discerned.
Romans 10:17 – So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God
We do not physically need to hear the Word of God in our ears.
For the Spirit of God calls the Heart by Grace. This is the hearing by “Faith” the Faith we have to Hear His Calling and following that which we hear in the heart by “FAITH” we must move toward that sound we heard when he called us to the Son, Jesus Christ by God the Father in order to be saved and grow in His Grace.
God gave men ears to hear an audible sound, yet some that are deaf can not hear by the ear, but by the Calling of God in their heart by His Spirit. Yet there are many who can hear in the ear, but can not hear or see for they are blinded by the cares of this world and are still carnally minded never changing or renewing their mind. They go to buildings and places that are soothing to the itching of their ears. Continuing after there own lusts of the flesh and richly gain which shall perish with it using.
A servant of Christ should not ask for money to speak the things of Christ Jesus the Lord. For these things have been given to them freely by God‘s Holy Spirit.
Christ did not have a place to lay his head, He was beaten, stoned, cursed, spit upon. Yet he forgave, blessed, healed, and Gave Eternal Life to those who heard in their heart by repentance and have seen with their eyes the Son of God come on earth to save mankind.
The many churches (buildings, religions, theologians and denominations) of this day seek earthly wisdom and knowledge man’s wisdom and knowledge which is earthy not that which is from above. That Wisdom and Knowledge that come direct from the Throne of God.
This is why Christ said, Matthew 7:14 – Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
But the man made religion of today shall come to nought, when the King of King comes to take His True Bride home.
1 Corinthians 1:19 – For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
The many of the man made churches of today no longer give freely the Word of God! But behold the day is now upon us the famine of the hearing of the Word of God shall come in the land and is already here in many places on this earth. Then those who have the Word of God in their “hearts, grafted in their minds and souls” by the Spirit of Christ shall be able to stand in the last days.
But the buildings, and religions that preach with long speeches to receive the praise of men and get rich by extorting to give to their need and build large buildings that shall come tumbling down by the Word of God shall perish.
Maybe, this is why some of Gods Elect do not want to go to “church”.
When the Church is where Christ is in the midst the central point of Worship and Fellowship in His Body and the Elect equal in “Spirit and Truth” bond together saved by Grace unto Eternal Life through Jesus Christ the Foundation.
God bless you all the Elect of God chosen and grafted in the natural olive branch, new creatures born again into a new life by the Indwelling of the Holy Spirit and the renewing of your mind by the Grace of God.
Your Brother in Jesus Christ the Lord,
Martin Thurman Sr.
