WINESKINS
I have come "out of the system", as you say, several years ago. I have found that by coming out of the system (likened to Egypt), that I have found time and great need to fellowship with the Master. I have not lost a "church", I have found The Church, the true Body of Christ. I have found that our Lord and Heavenly Father leads us almost daily to come together with other Believers and share and have true fellowship with one another. We are reaching out and helpings one another, exhorting and strengthening one another, and sharing what we have in excess with others that have not enough, and God is greatly blessing us. We don't always meet together, and most usually don't, in the same building or places, but as we meet, He is always there, in our midst..........teaching us and guiding us and building us together........one with another into His most glorious temple.
It is one that is not made with man's hands. It is being formed now, one of us as a "living" stone, joined with another living stone, and then another, and another. If you can let go of all that has been programmed in the mind in the past decades of what we know as "church", and take a good look at the church that He is building, you can see a beautiful, functional and alive Body that is being formed that looks like Him in nature, walk and actions. Folks, He is coming again in a way that the "religious" minds can not recognize, as they are not looking for Him, they are looking for a system, something that looks like the way the world would do it. He is not of the world and what He is doing right now does not look like and will not look like what the world builds. Come away with Him, Beloved, and sup at His table and taste His New Wine, as He makes in us a New Wineskin!
