It is so foreign for us to just sit at the feet of Jesus and be totally lead by His spirit because of how much generational idolatry has taken us away from His truth! I do believe however that those who are sitting at His feet will find that truth and receive it! It will completely blow our minds! Praise God & bless you all! :) We spend so much time being ‘Martha’s’, doing the things that we think are good to be doing for God instead of being like ‘Mary’ and receiving the ‘part that cannot be taken away!’ - Luke 10:38-42.

Now, being of limited intelligence, I know I cannot go to "Church", for I cannot go to me, the Church is me. Now, does the church meet, yes, it "Gathers." There is no such thing as house Church....anymore than a cathedral church, because Church is people, not a place. The Church gathers at home, school, bar, work, restaurant, hospital, funeral home, and etc. Remember this, please.......where is Jesus physically....right hand of god. Yet, in Gal. 2:20/Phil. 2:12,(And 35 more scriptures) who is inside us???..........HOLY SPIRIT!!!!! God controls us through HOLY SPIRIT, all we have to do is surrender, and let HIM direct the church....ME....where every HE wants to, any way HE desires. It is not up to me to give GOD a program to run HIS CHURCH.....me. He already LIVES IN ME!!! Think about this, please. It really is not that hard. It's all about JESUS, and Holy Spirit running our live......if we let him.

What does it take to bring people to the end of looking to others and begin learning Christ through the Holy Spirit? How will God deal with His Bride's idols? What will bring people to look to the Seed within them-Christ and to understand more deeply what happened when God the Father planted that Seed into them? We must come out of the institutional structures and go into HIM. His Body will form as He deals with each one individually. I think we are too quick to make a Body for Him.
