“But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?” Ministry Genesis 3:9

“And he (John the Baptist) shall go before Him (Jesus the Messiah) in the spirit and power of Elias(Elijah I Kings) to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” Apostolic Luke 1:17

“And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.” Matthew 23:9

JESUS OWN FATHERING MISSION: Resembling, Hero Role Modeling His Uncompromising, Respecting Heavenly Creator Dad

WONDERING: HOW could a SINGLE MINISTER, who had never been married, MODEL THE FATHER’S HEART to so very MANY?

A: It was the LOVE of the FATHER “shed abroad in His heart” which the people PERCEIVED and DISCERNED spiritually, yet had JESUS ACTIONS been disrespectful, demeaning, biased, superior,elitist or superiour PROUD..then the discerning genuine searching, suffering, true PEOPLE would have (inwardly) known that, too.

WE need to remember:
GENESIS 3: Respecting, non Accusative, Not Demeaning Creator Father back in the Garden as He confronted His Only Begotten HUMAN Son, ADAM (meaning: back in that Pre-Fall Sin Free Leader Time)

AND ISAIAH 11:3 THE NONACCUSER LONG PROPHESIED MESSIAH:(which I went through throughly in PART 1 of this series) “He will not judge by the sight of His eyes, nor make decisions based on what He hears.”

AND MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, JOHN: The GOOD NEWS “GOSPELS” being mightily Hero Modeled by CHRSIT as He “went about doing good, healing ALL who were oppressed by the devil” Acts 10:38

BUT ALSO (far too many accounts to describe here) if you take time out to READ THROUGH all 4 Bible Books, to see the many accounts of JESUS CHRIST, in each one of HIS RELATIONSHIPS (his mother, disciples, fellow believers, all kinds of women, all types of “non believers’ “publicans’ “chief sinners’ non submitted non believers..one can find that THE ONLY TIME JESUS CHRIST “stood up, rose up and tossed over a few money changers unclean tables, were IN SIDE HIS OWN FATHER’S HEBREW then OVERSEER PHARISEE “BIG BUSINESS RELIGIOUS “WE CENTERED SYSTEM”

MEANING: contrary to much POPULAR WORSHIP CULTURE MEDIA (WRONG) OPINIONS..no where in the NEW TESTAMENT is CHRIST ever recorded /described as threatening NON CHRISTIANS, persons who OPPOSED HIS DIVINE CALLING, nor did the nonaccuser MESSIAH ever accuser find fault, berate, display any type of racial, gender, bigotry.

And, if some of the popular (calling themselves as among) CHRIST FOLLOWERS are indeed accurate: then WHERE does the New Testament Bible report any time when JESUS organized His first 12 chief apostles to hold placards, to scream at, to demean by religious name calling, the NON BELIEVERS, “CHIEF SINNERS” or even THE RELIGIOUS OVERSEER ALWAYS NOSY, MINDING EVERYONE ELSE’S BUSINESS PHARISEES as they walked in to the temple to report to work?

YET…IF YOU CAN SEND IFFM VERSES TO SUPPORT THIS (that Jesus Christ DID that): Email: tcreativeleadership@gmailcom

CONCLUSION:THERE WAS NO SPIRIT OF GOD THE LOVING NONACCUSING FATHER ANYWHERE TO BE FOUND IN TEMPLE MINISTRY

1.Meaning: it was all about religious rules obeying which then created superior pride (Goody Goody We Are Abiding by ALL of the Local Pharisee governing RULES. Pat ME on the HEAD)… unloving achievement to attain “Levitical Perfectionism” and much more…

2.This wrong emphasis on RULES FOLLOWING, tended to give birth to many persons (Levitical leader and lay congregation) removing their eyes from GOD and not putting them primarily onto keeping busy body “over seer” tabs on everyone else.

3. This also tended to spawn “taking self righteous superior pride in one’s own accomplishments” not to fail to mention, “Keeping Up with the Levitical Ministry Joneses” other centered, competitive, divisive, unwise comparisons, spiritual fruit (or was it fallout rather than taste fruit?). All of which tended to resemble and enable the ACCUSER “I saw Sister Sally and she was NOT wearing SLACKS like WE DO!” “THEY do not attend CHURCh like I do” “HE,she is NOT under “OUR OWN FORM” of SPIRITUAL COVERING RELIGIOUS AUTHORITY” (Goody Goody, comparing, “I Am the Doctrinal WORLD” human pride)

SUMMARY: THE BIG RELIGIOUS OT PHARISEE BIG RELIGIOUS SYSTEM resulted in a form of DEATH..which now was sorely in need of RESURRECTION.

AND it was into this devoid TIME FRAME of human history that THE CREATOR HEAVENLY FATHER interjected non critical, not bossy or religious, certainly NOT mercenary: THE MESSIAH, JESUS THE CHRIST.

MAIN POINT: At this particular EPIC period of Time, as CHRIST the MESSIAH was born, then grew, then “increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man”(Luke 2:52), and senior apostolic ministered..there was NO “FATHER’S HEART HOLY SPIRIT ANOINTING” anywhere to be found under the Old Testament Levitical Spiritual tasteless abiding FRUIT.

MAIN POINT: TEMPLE HOUSElegalistic attending was based on persons being “accepted” only IF they met certain PERFORMANCE, RULES KEEPING CRITERIA.

THE (MAIN) MAIN LEADER POINT: JESUS CHRIST came to announce: “By grace are you saved, not through works, for it is a FREE GIFT from (Father Creator) Good GOD.(Ephesians 2:8)

MAIN POINT: And New Testament declares of MESSIAH JESUS CHRIST that He came to “fulfill the Letter of the Law” (Romans 10:3) and to accept EVERYONE..unconditionally “Ephesians 1:6 “He has made us accepted in the beloved” (a relationship term)

ALSO: Ephesians 2:14 “He is our peace who has broken down every wall of partition to make us both one.” (another relationship term)

AND: Galatians 3:28 “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (diverse subgroups who often have a difficult time in their relationships)

ASKING: WHY is there so much divisive “PARTY SPIRIT allowed by many in MODERN MINISTRY during this End Times (perceived as indeed EPIC) Period?

RELATIONSHIP, THE SPIRIT OF GOD THE FATHER, UNCONDITIONAL INCLUSIVE IMMEDIATE ACCEPTANCE: IN JESUS CHRIST

PURE HEARTED, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, ACCEPTANCE THROUGH will only be accomplished if INDIVIDUAL HUMAN PERSONS each purpose to ACCEPT CHRIST AS THE SAVIOR. This will then give them the deposit of God’s Holy Spirit which will assist each person as they God to God to seek His help in overcoming, unconditionally forgiving and fully accepting EVERY OTHER HUMAN BEING (Who are made in God’s image Psalm 139)..

UPON TAKING RESPONSIBILITY to do that, then there will be an ongoing need to keep an even keel, which is often Biblically referred to as “ABIDING in the VINE.” While this is a very unusual term, it implies “intimate connected/heart to heart RELATIONSHIP” which is NEW TESTAMENT and NOT under Old Testament RULES and FEAR CONSCIOUSNESS.
a
(The FEAR comes from FEAR of what YOU think might happen to YOU after YOU or I fail, sin, fall into sin, do something stupid, etc)

GOOD NEWS (New Testament Victory Stance)”Perfect LOVE casts out all FEAR.” “Fear(anxiety, realistic worry, abject terror,etc) “Fear hath torment”

WE NEED TO REMEMBER: “God has not given us a spirit of FEAR but of power, love and a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7 (test each “feeling” “presence” by 2 TIMOTHy 1:7 and also JAMES 3:37 “The wisdom that comes from above is first of all pure, peaceable, easily entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.”

AND due to the “LIVE INSIDE US” “Must be spiritually discerned and perceived”) governing, guiding Spiritual GPS (akin to) gentle Holy Spirit “the inward witness” “the voice of the Good Shepherd who gives life to His sheep”…is revealed, disclosed, spiritually downloaded, and released, unveiled all inwardly by the unfathomable, eternal deeply abiding, Holy Spirit.

MAIN POINT: EACH OF OUR APOSTLE’S APOSTLE CHRIST was big into RELATIONSHIP and the Bible uses many “relationship terms” to express JESUS CHRIST as well as Senior Local Ministry which then gives rise to Hebrews 10:25 “do not forsake fellowshipping with the (true?) saints.”

He only got righteously MAD when He watched how His own people’s TEMPLE HIGH PRIESTS made “Church attending” more about MAMMON and GETTING INCREASE rather than about KNOWING AND LOVING GOD.

Ironically the Old Testament Sabbath, if purely kept under Jewish Levitical Law, would produced the following COMMANDED SABBATH BLESSING, along with it’s accompanying spiritual TRUE FRUIT, “I will take you to My holy mountain, I will make you joyful in My house of prayer, your burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted upon My altar, and My House shall be a house of prayer for ALL (MANY DIFFERENT STYLES,COLORS) of (real, hurting, human) PEOPLE.” ISAIAH 56:6

YET when the appointed fulfilled TIME of JESUS CHRIST arrived, the local Pharisee Controlled Holy House (ESAU TEMPLE HIRELINGS as previously mentioned) was more like the “den of thieves” which Jesus Christ declared as He tossed over the money makers tables out in the front lobby.

APOSTOLIC SELAH.

IN MANY PARTS of Christian Senior Ministry,there are doctrines regarding GOVERNMENT, SPIRITUAL TRUE /FALSE AUTHORITY, SPIRITUAL COVERING, FATHERING and THE ROLES OF MEN AND WOMEN IN CHURCH, FAMILY DWELLING.

WAY TOO OFTEN, as this spiritual covering man made teaching is mixed in with good “doctrine” it can transform “going to church” into a formula driven religious Do’s and Don’ts mixed in with Old Testament Levitical Partiarch, OT Phariseeism, minding each others business. Self appointed Overseers often demand to hoops jumping, human pleasing,traditionally passed down, apostolic ministry religious stereotype, however well intentioned.

IFFM takes the NON LEVITICAL LAW-NEW TESTAMENT FREEDOM MINISTRY APPROACH. AND this is based on Apostle Paul’s many writings but also in MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE and JOHN’S ministry, life, servant leader chief apostle’s role modeling in both MINISTRY, MARRIAGE AND FAMILY, MALES AND FEMALES and in ALL RELATIONS the Isaiah 11:2 “Messiah who would not judge by the sight of His eyes nor make decisions based on what He had heard” who was a NONACCUSER, who respected ALL KINDS of human persons and who respected women and elevated ALL who were formerly oppressed. (Acts 10:38 “Jesus went about doing good, healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for the Lord was with Him.”

IFFM SERVANT APOSTOLIC MINISTRIES top prioritizes all Bible RELATIONSHIPS. We believe in ongoing RELATIONSHIPS taking first place OVER “making a lot of money” “achieving” and “owning many possessions.” IFFM believes in”success” and that “organic Bible TRUE PROSPERITY lies in between every persons own two ears…and must be based on a pure heart, clean conscience and not on greed,lust, covetousness or materialism. IFFM firmly believes that “Godliness with contentment is great gain.” I Timothy 6:6.

AND that owning possessions, make up, looks, purchases, house, lands, buildings is a PRIVATE matter based on the God revealing His desires to EACH LISTENING ONE based on their private HEART AND CONSCIENCE.

PREMISE: In order to Set the Stage for the (God’s Holy House,Safe Accepting Spiritual Sanctuary) to fully become ALIVE..then it first demand a supernatural HOLY SPIRIT RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD.

And this was exactly what the HOLY TEMPLE BIG RELIGIOUS ACHIEVEMENT SYSTEM badly needed way back when JESUS entered TIME…yet it is ALSO what much of the born again loveless performing Community (legalistic accuser CHURCH) also needs JUST NOW…in order to RESURRECT and fully LIVE. .

GOING THROUGH SELAH.

And he (John the Baptist) shall go before Him (Jesus the Messiah) in the spirit and power of Elias(Elijah I Kings) to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” Apostolic Luke 1:17

“And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.” Matthew 23:9

APOSTOLIC SPIRITUAL GOVERNMENT AND SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY LEGALISM WILL GOVERN OR HINDER, POSSIBLY DEFEAT GOD’S TRUE GOOD NEWS END TIME MIGHTY REAL TIME MOVE
And he (John the Baptist) shall go before Him (Jesus the Messiah) in the spirit and power of Elias(Elijah I Kings) to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” Apostolic Luke 1:17

“And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.” Matthew 23:9

ANALYSIS OF OFTEN QUOTED “PET” SENIOR MINISTRY BIBLE VERSE…WITH REGARDS TO LOOKING FORWARD TO “GOD’S END TIME HARVEST, SWEEPING NATIONAL REVIVAL”

First we may all need to chose to REVIEW (using Bible only, no commentary) the JESUS CHRIST ACCOUNTS in the GOOD NEWS (GOSPELS) of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John.

to find out HOW Jesus interacted, with whom and with whom was He upset and angry and NOT.
To find out how Jesus Christ fully respected ALL different human people groups, his own Mother, Mary, all leader women, all nations, races, persons of high and low state: and then see how WE regard each one of these same self styled big, small groups.
to notice if “current popular widely accepted GOOD, WELL MEANING doctrines ARE actually in the NEW TESTAMENT or NOT…or being combined, mixed in with OLD TESTAMENT Levitical Rules Keeping..or not.
to find out if all of this titles, overseer hoopla, 5 fold office genuflecting and hierarchal, super spiritual “apostles OVER each one of us” is TRUE..and if SO, who is over THEM on this earth. (The Top Most High Gimlet)..Then if any of you know, please email me that persons’ name so that I may want to beUNDER him/her TOO. (but mostly likely will NOT…but still am curious…) JESUS CHRSIT and FATHER GOD simply put it best: “God’s love covers…a multitude of sins (errors,stupid mistakes and dumb stuff,etc)

FINALLY: Let us Bible expound on LUKE 1:17 “THE GO TO REVIVAL END TIME HARVEST” VERSE

1. The EPIC DAY in which GOD chose to send down JESUS CHRSIT (all parts 1-3 describe) was NOT ONLY a day of “book of Acts,Holy Spirit Prophet ELIJAH full fledged power (signs and wonders, healings, miracles, etc) but also was one which affected and transformed ALL RELAIONSHIPS. (“turn the hearts of the fathers to the children.”)

THE WRITER submits that “TRUE” REVIVAL must also bear fruit of the this RELATIONSHIP HEALING:

v.17b” To turn the hearts of the fathers to the children”
DIVINE RELATIONSHIP AND RECONCILIATION among the old and the young (the writer believes this to also apply to natural family generations, chronological age groups, but ALSO to SPIRITUAL GENERATIONS (past,current, rising future) AND IFFM would name all of this (as well as role model it) as INTERGENERATIONAL MINISTRY. (meaning no age bias, be they young or old, REAL RESPECT for ALL, and a lot more later..but not in this series)

APOSTOLIC FRONT LINES:AND rather than Apostolic (mostly ground level, middle class high falootin’ grass roots) Hoops Jumping “abusive spiritual fathering commanded LAW” governing what ought to be welcoming SAFE HAVENS (“automatically, empathetically accepted in the beloved Ephesians 1:6) where there is primarily an emphasis on KEEPING ALL OF THE LOCAL IN HOUSE CUSTOMS, TRADITIONS, AND OT LAW , GOVERNING “RIGID RULES”..

The SPIRITUAL GOVERNMENT will be “self governing, self control” with “respectful observation of all boundaries” and Ephesians 4 (too long to delve into but worthy of reading) and Ephesians 5:21 “Mutual submission in the fear of the Lord” with the head of the ministry, head of family serving the others as “tie breaker” and policy establisher.(Now surely that seems to omit a lot of the struggles involved with may persons)

AND this “FREEDOM IN CHRIST” will resemble the ISAIAH 11:3 nonaccuser MESSIAH who did not view people from afar and accuser judge nor make presumptious criticisms about others based on “believing the evil report” (gossip, tales, leader rumors) nor would Jesus Christ even tolerate any of His early church disciples sharing presumptious accusations with Him.

v.17 c It “will turn the disobedient to the wisdom of the just”

NO, this verse states that it won’t be the RELIGIOUS RULES and REQUIREMENTS which draws the rebellious, the backslider, then negative anti Christian,naysayer, but rather it will be the SPIRITUAL TRUE FRUIT which LUKE 1:17 says has trickle down effects from

Good Spiritual Authority
1. True mantles of accepting, trustworthy, spiritually perceptive FATHERING (done by males, females in the last not legalistic End of Days)

3. Feeling accepted and well integrated (cross Bible, natural generations) and the overflow of good natured, good Christian will, and Godly contentment, (see Ephesians 4 fruit produced in the unified community, just following v.12 5 fold servant leader offices) will begin to be discerned, observed, better understood by the backslider, the curious and the spiritually seeking, deeply suffering and unaccepted. (They will feel like an invisible magnet is drawing them to God’s safe haven spiritual safe sanctuary.)

v. 17d “to make a people prepared for the Lord”

PREPARED: God’s prepared PEOPLE: instant in season and out of season; outward, other centered witnessed, who remain ever ready for His Soon Return (zero foolish virgins among them); ministry representing an accurate good role model of the non accuser ISAIAH 11:2-3 (FILLED with all of God’s SEVEN FLAMING HOLY SPIRITS, but in sharp, quick of discerning, accurate in leader perception, in the “abiding Holy hear of the Lord” and non Accuser resembling in spiritual doctrine, lamp stand oracle preaching, leader lifestyle.

IN CLOSING: MINISTRY ISAIAH 11:2-3 KJV

“And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;

And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:”
