This is now next page, continuing after 3 5 3. Please read that page first, together with my newest page 2 7 9. This newest page, was also seriously written, on this whole topic – but does also cover other things, on this subject.

Please read these, before reading this new page 473. Then read this 473 page, before reading the completion, on Page 4 7 4.

How will the New Jewish Church, step up, to this level of Love?

The Worldwide Virus, has now greatly messed up our lives, and will have changed our thinking immensely – of how we now live our lives.

This change now, is showing the effect, of what I wrote about earlier – up to year 2 0 1 7. That writing, was before our new time now, of the years 2 0 2 0 to 2 0 2 2. I will now briefly, add this next appropriate comment, to our time now – in 2 0 2 2.

Do we have wrong priorities, in our:

– Jobs?

– Bank Accounts?

– Sport and Entertainment Interests?

– Hobbies?

– Personal Goals, Objectives and Future Plans?

– Families?

The Fact is, that our True Priority of Life, should be – on this here, as in Matthew 6: 3 3.

“To Seek First the Kingdom of God, and His Righteousness”.

Our Priority, should be putting God, and His Purposes for our lives – First. This Priority, should be ABOVE everything else, even Families!

Heaven and Jesus, which is the everlasting Presence/Power of God, is the only thing our heart can lean on – for Eternity. It can never ever cease to be wonderful, for all Eternity. Therefore, those we can love, for a very short time on Earth now – are nothing in comparison, to this far greater life, that we will soon experience.

What does God want?

God wants the Church, and its individual members, to grow in Grace. He wants them to PUT GOD FIRST, live in the knowledge of Him, and put others in the Church – before themselves. They should never, ever, just put their family needs First – without ever considering, the Truth, of the Church people’s needs.

Although they should take proper care, of their Family, they should never ever – put their Families First, BEFORE God. God must always COME FIRST, in the way we live our lives. AND NEVER, should the GOVERNMENT, come first.

It is TRUE, that the Government should be served, as well as it can be, by Christians. But that must always be, while Christians are FIRST being obedient to God, and putting Him First. This order of service, must be followed, if the Christian church – can grow on the Earth, as it should.

How will the New Jewish Church, step up, to this greater Level of new Love – during the soon, last 7 years?

If we properly put Jesus first, then even our Families will benefit even more, because we are putting God first. Everyone, who puts God first, vastly improve their loving lives naturally – because of God’s amazing help to them. We are informed in Bible scripture verses, that the correct order, should be this. It spells JOY:

J esus first

O thers Second

Y ourselves last.

This order, can be seen, in the Bible. Here is now, more details.

Jesus.  Matthew 6. 3 3. This teaches about, putting Jesus first.

Others.  Mark 1 2: 3 1. This teaches on, Others second.

Yourselves.  Philippians 2: 3 – 4. This explains, why yourselves come last, in the list.

Now read: 2 Peter 3: 1 8. This States, how we must Focus, on putting Jesus First – in our list. This by placing our whole lives, into God’s hand, serving Jesus first – and foremost.

“But grow in the grace, and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. To him be glory, both now, and forever! Amen.”

These next verses, tell us, that we need to become “one” – in unity and love. John 1 7: 2 1 and Philip 2: 2:

“That all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. … May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me”.

“Then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind”.

You need to also, follow these other things. For individuals, to become Complete: and in: 2 Tim 3: 1 7, Fully Equipped, for Every Good Work. Acts 1: 8, states: “And church to be witnesses,  to the uttermost parts of the earth”.

The Bible is clear: “DO NOT LOVE THE WORLD”.  But we must love God, and put Him First, in our Lives. When we do, we will be wonderfully blessed by Jesus. Our eternal life later, will be MUCH GREATER, than can now be experienced.

For the True Born-Again Christian, this World cannot offer anything Worthwhile now. Everything now is Pointless, and Passes away, but for True Christians after death – will become absolutely amazing, once they arrive in Heaven.

The End result on this Earth, for Everyone, is Death. So why get so caught up, in something which will pass away? We need to focus, on the Latter Eternal Things. We are told to focus our minds, and concentrate on this: “Seek those Things, which are Above”. We are to stay focused, on that treasure.

We Christians, are here on Earth now, to save the World from Hell. This is the Reality, and Priority. Therefore, we need each other, to be able to do this – now. Please see Luke 1 7: 2 1.

Jesus said, “the Kingdom of God, is within you”! The kingdom of God, is these things, in the Holy Spirit – as mentioned, in Rom 1 4: 1 7.

1. Righteousness 2. Peace 3. Joy

This means, that the Church is God’s Temporary Kingdom, on the Earth. That is, with all True Born-Again Believers, working together. It is the:

1. Salt of the Earth

2. Representation of Jesus on Earth

3. Ambassadors for Christ

4. Called THE BODY OF CHRIST.

Jesus is the King, as Head of His Body. The Church is the vehicle, for Jesus’s ministering on the Earth. That is, if they are filled with the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, if this above is our Priority, we need to change the way we think – about our lives. We need to change the emphasis.

Our Life’s Decisions should start, with these following thoughts:

How can I overall, serve God?

What does He specifically, want me to do?

How can I be a Part, of bringing Salvation, to a Lost World?

What Church does He want me, to commit myself to?

Every other decision we make, should also, seriously take these above decisions – into real consideration. This means, that we should focus our attention, on finding accommodation – as near as possible, to the Church, that God wants us to go to.

We should not focus our thoughts/time/mind, on finding accommodation, NEAR TO WORK. We need to look for homes, nearest to God Ordained Church. Remember, God must always come first in our thinking, regarding where we live. Our jobs, should never come first, in deciding where we live.

If the Church, (that God wants us to go to), is too far from our jobs – then we should seek the Lord first, regarding finding nearer Jobs to our church. We should always look for, newer and closer Jobs, to the Church where God wants us to go to. Therefore, the jobs should be closer to our homes. This to enable us, to give more time to the CHURCH.

To clarify this, in a more Pointed out way. Please read this next part again, to make the point, even clearer.

These Jobs, should be within much closer distance, of our new homes. The homes as said, should be more in relation, to the church – that God wants us to go to, and for us to focus our time, in that church. These words here, are evidence, of how we should be “Kingdom Thinking” – in how we live our lives, and not putting too much focus, on our Jobs.

If you do not change things, then your distance to Church, may not give you the time – to have Proper Fellowship, within the Church, that God has called you to? Nor will you be able, to do as much in that church, that you should. If you do not change things, then you do indeed, live too far away – from serving God properly.

Therefore, this should be your choice order, of where you live:

1) Live Near to the Church, that God wants you to Serve in, in the best Bible way.

2) The Home you find, must give you all the time you need, for attending and serving the Church far better.

3) You should then find a Job, that gives you enough time, for your Church.

4) Once we find the best place to live, near to the best Church, then we find the more applicable jobs. This to match, 1 to 3 above.

We need to change our thinking, and do as mentioned above. The fact is, our accommodation, should be where our Church is – and not where we work.

Most of us, think incorrectly, regarding this. We have incorrect reasoning, on where we should live. Hardly ever, do we put God first, but seem to mostly have Godless (Jobs) reasons, for where we live. This is what we should do:

First, we should choose the Church, that God wants us to attend. Second, we should look at a place to live, that is near to the church. Then Thirdly, look for Job, as near as possible to your new home.

However, we tend to figure things out, totally wrongly. We tend to base the Church we choose, more on the wrong place we live in. The place we live, is wrongly and actually based, much more – on where we work. Is that really, the most important thing in our lives?

That does, wrongly come first in our thinking. We tend to live near our jobs, as first priority. So our lives revolve around our jobs, rather than revolve around the kingdom of God.  Let’s PLEASE, get our perspectives correct!

Details regarding, where we currently Work.

If you live in England, the best paid jobs, tend to mostly be in London. Most of the Churches, that God calls us to, are within easy travel reach – of London. Easy travel into London, is mostly up to one hour. If you spend more than an hour to work, and back home again, you are wasting too much time travelling – and not enough time left, for Church.

We cannot ignore, any parts of Bible Scripture. If the BIBLE says it, we must follow it, with no excuses – and never try to explain it away. Let us correctly, examine our hearts, whenever we wrongly try to explain away – the clear teachings of scripture. Why are we running away from the Truth?  Is it because we don’t like, what the Word of God says?

The Bible, IS THE WORD OF GOD, whether we like that Fact – or not. That is, whether it makes sense or not, to our impure minds.  We need to accept this Word, and let it change our lives. We also need to compare scripture with scripture, to ensure, we do not build a doctrine – around isolated verses. We need to get the whole teaching of scripture, in best context.

Some Churches, are excellent at:

– Exposing Bad Doctrine

– Revealing Deception/Heresies

– Teaching Sound Doctrine.

Because of this, good/proper and understanding believers, are being attracted to the real truth. They have their eyes opened, to the truth. They have become aware, that it is not enough, to be just “Hearers of the Word”. But, they should also be “Doers of the word”, too.

So let us also continue, to not just expose things in a hidden way, but to actually Reveal LIVE truth. This includes, Evidential LOVE for each other, and TRUE Fellowship – with our whole being.

In the light of the above, we can no longer be indifferent to each other. We need each other. Even more so, when we consider the “Terrible Times” that we are now in. Also if we consider, the increase, in these things below:

– Confusion

– Deception

– Persecution

– Tribulation (Which will soon, increase greatly on Earth).

The Fact is, that we are not Fellowshipping, or Behaving as the True Body of Christ. This is true, when we consider, that all we do  is  “Services” and “Meetings”.  Let us rediscover, HOW we should Fellowship, and build Everyone up – much better/closer. This to be done, far more in our Faith, with one another.

We need to rediscover, True Fellowship, in the terrible days that lie ahead. We will find out (to our cost), that if we don’t learn it now, it may become too late – once persecution hits us, and the last 7 years start. We need to start practising TRUE FELLOWSHIP NOW!

Let’s look at how the Early Church Fellowshipped. What were their Meetings/Services like, and how often did they meet?

How did the Early Church Fellowship?

Acts 2: 4 2 – 4 7. I now write the whole 3 sections, of the Word of God. But first, look at these FIRST 3 PARTS of Acts 2: 4 2 to 4 7. “And they continued steadfastly, in the Apostles Doctrine and Fellowship, in the Breaking of Bread – and in Prayers.”

This was the very start. Then Fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done, through the Apostles. Now all who believed, were together.

They:

1. Had all things in Common

2. Sold their Possessions and Goods

3. Divided their Possessions, and Goods, among all – as anyone had need.

“So they continued daily in one accord, in the temple – and breaking bread from house to house. They ate their food with gladness, and simplicity of heart, praising God – and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church, DAILY, those who were being Saved.”

The Following Passages, show how Powerfully, the Christian Life would be Run – if Governed by God.

Acts 4: 2 3 – 2 4. “And being let go, they went to their own companions, and reported all that the chief priests – and elders had said to them. So when they heard this, they raised their voice to God, with one accord”. Then they Prayed.

Acts 4: 3 2 – 3 5 “Now the Multitude, of those who believed, were of one heart and one soul. Neither did anyone say, that any of the things he possessed, was his own. But they had all things in common. With great power, the apostles gave witness, to the resurrection (from Death) – of the Lord Jesus”.

“And great grace was upon them all. Nor was there anyone among them, who lacked, for all who were possessors of lands or houses – sold them. They brought the proceeds, of the things that were sold, and laid them at the apostles’ feet – and they distributed to each, as anyone had need.”

Please, also read, these other Bible verses.

Acts 5: 4 2. “And daily in the temple, and in every house, they did not cease teaching – and preaching, Jesus as the Christ.”

Hebrews 3: 1 3 “But exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today” “.

Acts 1 6: 2 5 “But at midnight, Paul and Silas were praying, and singing hymns to God”

1 John 1: 7 “But if we Walk in the Light, as He is in the Light, we have Fellowship – with one another”

Acts 2: 1 “When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord, in one place”

Philippians 2: 2 “Fulfil my joy, by being Like-Minded, having the Same Love – being of One Accord, of One Mind”

What can we learn from the above, and throughout the New Testament?  Remember, the believers (or Church), met together DAILY. This was every single day, in which they:

– Prayed

– Sang Songs

– Learnt Serious Teachings, from the Scriptures

– Met and Loved Each Other

– Had meals with each other, regularly. Maybe every single day.

They were of ONE heart, and REALLY got to know each other, very well.  This is indicative, by the phrase: “In one accord”. This type of unity, can only occur, through being able – to know each other better, and very well.

This is Close Personal knowledge, and is intimate. Of course, they would know each other very well, because of the Closeness of that Fellowship. That Fellowship: – Is Strong – Is on a Daily Basis – Includes, Encouraging one another.

Another thing we learn, is that the Church, DID NOT Hold any of these: – Planned/Organised Meetings – Formal Meetings – Services.

Everything they did, seemed to be informal, and spontaneous. There was No Set Liturgy, or Services.

Paul and Silas had learnt, that you cannot easily, by format – just switch on/off Worship/Praise.

They Praised and Sang to the Lord, in the most dire of consequences, because they were in constant relationship with the Lord. It was a matter of spontaneity, from full hearts, to informally Praise the Lord.

Jesus had said: “Where two or three of you, are gathered together in My Name, there am I – in your midst”.

There was never, a set ordered program, whenever the Church was gathered together. The unset purpose of gathering together, was to:

– Pray Together

– Be Taught by one Person, the best way to live, according to the Bible

– Encourage and Edify one another. With everyone sharing with each other

In Fact in some cases, the meetings had become so chaotic, that Paul had to write to them – to tone it down. The reason for the tone down, was to bring some order, out of chaos.

This did not mean, that every meeting, had to have the same format! Of course it did not, as it was openly led by the Holy Spirit, and not controlled – by weakened, imperfect earthly men.
