Very
shortly after I felt the calling of the Lord to go forth and to minister I
began planning 5to build Him a great and mighty Church. I had drawn out the floor plans and the basic
idea of how I thought the structure should look like. I had put many hours into the drawings and had made arrangements
to collect the money needed to build it. Just then, the Lord took me to an open
field and He began to instruct me.
At
first we just stood there looking at each other when the Lord commanded me to
pick up a tree limb that had fallen near by and a stone that was laying on the
ground next to me. After I had picked
up the tree limb and the stone the Lord told me to throw them into the air and
command them to become a church building.
Tossing the stone first I commanded it to become the foundation for the
church building then immediately afterwards I tossed the tree limb into the air
and commanded it to become the church structure. As the stone hit the ground it became the foundation for the
church then as the tree limb landed on top of the foundation it became the
church structure pews and all.
Then
the Lord told me that if He wanted us to build Him great and magnificent
cathedrals He would have built them himself. He pointed out how He took His ministry to the where the people
lived. Then He reminded me how He
taught from boats or from a rock along the seashore while His disciples baptized
people in the Sea of Galilee. The Lord
told me that we are to hold ?Church? whenever and where ever a crowd is
gathered to hear His words.
Yeshua
told me that he tried to have a church service indoors. He even bought a house to hold it in but the
crowd became so large that people ripped the roof off the place just to get to
Him. Now that is what you call bringing down the roof. He laughed and he spoke.
My
own disciples wanted to build a great and mighty building on the mount of transfiguration. Now that would have been a sight to
see. If the Jews hadn?t destroyed it
the Romans surely would have. I?ll tell
you just how gullible most men really are Yeshua explained to me. They have build a church at the place they
believe I was buried. Well I was never buried
in that tomb. That tomb was attacked by
grave robbers who removes everything that was in it. The person who was buried there was very rich and he was buried
with many of his possessions. The robbers
wanted his gold so they broke into it and they took everything they could carry. Then the dogs went in, drug the body away
and devoured it. A fitting ending for
the man and the people who choose to memorialize every thing, even the grave of
a very rich sinner.
Then
Yeshua said, ?My Brother the size of a man?s congregation does not lye in the
greatness of a building. For what good
is the greatest building if it houses sinners and evil men? No my Brother the size of a man?s congregation
is the sum total number of people he has ministered to and whom have taken his
work to yet others. For the man who
seeks to lead others to me and in doing so establishes himself as least among
men will be the greatest man among them all.
For whomsoever seeks to build great and mighty building has his just
reward.
Remember
this my Brother my house is in the hearts of men, my alter is the tongs of men
and the only accepted sacrifice is the praises of men. This my Brother carry with you always for I
do not seek after great and mighty buildings.
Your churches have become an abomination unto me and you worship
services are nothing more than the swine and the dogs devouring each other. The Spirit which my Father has given you
cannot be imprisoned behind building made of brick and mortar but rather is
housed within the hearts of men.
