Nevertheless the gloom will not be upon her who is distressed, As when at first He lightly esteemed The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, And afterward more heavily oppressed her, By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, In Galilee of the Gentile. Isaiah 9:1

The church of Christ has to believe in the Scriptures.  Ever since the coming of Jesus, the holy people are free from darkness.  Today, the position of those who believe in the Lord is noble.  Everything that comes from God was given abundantly to the Church, even His Holy Spirit.  We cannot remain silent before the attacks of Satan.  We must put him in his right place, which is under our feet.

In the early times, after the deaths of the faithful apostles of the Lord, with the tough persecution lead by Hell, in the person of the Roman Empire, the Church was becoming wicked, straying from the example of Jesus to create human laws, in order to counter the apologists.  Thus, it was led into confusion of doctrines that clearly disrespected biblical commandments.  It is time to return to the first love, to complete observance and obedience to the pure commandments of our God.

Anguish began intensively with Edict of Constantine, who established the Roman Church as the official church of the empire.  So being, those that serve the Almighty in truth had to abandon that church.  The distance between it and the Gospel was so great, that the lost mocked the way they honored God. The practices that were abominable in the Scriptures were becoming praised, and what the Lord despised was now acceptable as being divine.  This way, those who remained in the corrupted religiosity did not serve the Lord.

Apostasy is one of the lies of the enemy that has prevailed. However, in recent times, with the sacrifice of Jesus, the true Church, made up of those who heard and believed in the Good News is being revived in all corners of the globe, under the direction of the Holy Spirit.  Do not be deceived by the false stories from anybody.  Take hold of what God speaks to you through His Word and you will be blessed.

The time has come for the land that became worthless to reclaim its glorious place and reject its mistake in seeking political power and return to being the beloved Shulamite. The very one who, seeking her groom through the streets of the city, was found by the guards of Jerusalem and beaten (Ct 5.7).  Those that love the Lord are being lifted up to assume their positions in the Kingdom.  When the Church assumes its position, it will do the work according to the example of the Master.

The position of the church that remains faithful is one of complete sovereignty. The Lord nourishes it and fills it with power to take the Good News to the world.  She has nothing to do with the associations that gather to increase their number of members, but it has to do with leading the wicked and lost to be born again, to leave their sins and to follow the path by the sea.  God’s work is very different from man´s work.

The mission of the gentiles of Galilee is to love the people.  Leaving material weapons, the Church must lead those who are afflicted and oppressed by the devil to their Refuge. Father and Son live in the hearts of those that keep His commandments.

In Christ, with Love,
