The Gospel is that God brought us into himself. We are in him he is in us. There is no separation. Nothing NOTHING can separate us from the Love of God.
There’s even a scripture that says if you are in the depths of hell God is there with you. You can’t go anywhere he isn’t. You can’t hide or do anything to make him turn his back from you...
Yet we see over and over in churches, first the Catholic Church but we Protestants do it as well, we set up separations between the people and God.
We make “special” people to go in between us and God. Oh Teacher teach me about God. Or priest please forgive me of my sin how much do I owe you?
The Catholic Church didn’t even let people read the Bible in their own language because they weren’t special enough or educated enough to understand the things of God.
Protestants don’t do that, do they? Of course we do. I was in a church before where I had a decent sized “Dream” ministry starting and the other Leadership o the church shut it down because I hadn’t read the right books.
I was also one of the main people that people went to to get prayed for at the front of the church, until I wasn’t allowed up there anymore because I refused to take the right classes to get certified.
There was also a school that you had to pay lots of money to attend where the real God stuff was taught. There are seminaries you must go to to become a “Pastor”
There are seats up front that you can’t sit in because they are for the anointed ones the pastors. The majority of the congregation sits there and learns from the few...
The Religion or the Organized Church is always creating barriers or separation.
Also you will hear people talk about reaching a “Next Level” or “Going Deeper” or having a “Greater anointing” things like this that make some “More Special” that create a them and us.
Some who are thought of as “Closer” to God that others because of some Mystical Encounter they have had. Some travel around the Nation and World telling their story and receiving money from people.
It’s Human nature to do this. To create separation to desire someone else to go before God for us... It happened with Moses in the beginning at the Mount.
Did you know that it wasn’t Gods will for just Moses to come before him? Nope. He said everyone come to the Mount and I will meet with you all.
When they did God seemed so scary to them that they were afraid thinking that God was going to be mean or hurt them. They said Moses you go talk to God.
So God said we need to clear our image problem up lol let’s actual come in human form so people can once again see who and how we really are...
So He sent Jesus it Emmanuel God with Us. And we get the Image of the Invisible God visible in Jesus.
We see Jesus saying Let the little children or the least of you come be first. Everyone you didn’t value Jesus made an effort to embrace and exalt.
He said you must become like these children if you are to know God. Simple. Love, Joy and Peace. The Kingdom of God which we try to make so complicated and distant, he said it’s “Right Here, it’s at Hand”
We need another Revolution in the Church. You and You and You are the Representation or Ambassadors of Christ to everyone around you. You have been given The Mind of Christ, the Spirit of God and a new Heart.
Every single one of you God is in you and you are as close to God as you will ever be so Rest in Him and Him in you!
