A Letter From the Former Assistant Pastor of ALWCC.
It is Christ that works in us to both do and to accomplish his good will. Without God we are of all men most miserable. This site was created to bring to our remembrance the memories of the former days of old. Jesus said, "Where 2 or 3 are gathered together in my name there will I be in the midst of them". I truly believe we and all the Brethren that have the revelation of the last day, have indeed sat together with Christ in heavenly places during the time of prayer and ministry at Aboite Living Word Christian Church. My prayer is that Gods Blessing and the Truths revealed in his Word will continue to bless the hearts and souls of those that are seeking a higher level of spiritual growth and understanding.
I also pray for all that do not have spiritual eyes and ears or the anointing of the Spirit of God to both see and hear God's commandments and the revelation of Jesus Christ. I pray that all would receive their healing and their day of visitation from God.
I would also like to thank the Pastor, and the Congregation of Abundant Life Tabernacle whom God has used in my life to bring me to a fuller knowledge of the Great Commission, The Gospel of Christ unto Salvation, Acts 2:38. And also in whom at the first we assumed position of an extension ministry of Abundant Life Tabernacle, as we warred in the spirit for the souls we were blessed to minister to and witness to in Roanoke IN area.
Sometimes for God to mold us into what we are to become for his Glory, requires us to be broken or to fail, or to feel as though we failed, that we should feel the depths of his sorrow even the heaviness of death, as those that we see around us and love slip through the cracks, and lose out on the opportunity for Salvation. Christ has a great love for humanity and would that none would be lost.
However securing an exact number of saved souls is probably just about the only thing Jesus Christ did not take upon himself at Calvary.
Until you perform the funeral, or bury someone you knew or loved, and see the finality of their days come to pass with little hope for their soul, because they never knew God the Father, I don't think the weight of Christ's compassion and sorrow for even one (1) soul will be a significant motivator to do the right things. I believe the depth of love Christ has and has displayed for us at Calvary would not have been any different if there had only been one (1) soul to redeem.
I went into this ALWCC ministry knowing it would not be easy and with the understanding that it might be hard to revive and sustain a place of worship in this rural location. Yet I believed and had faith from the beginning as I do today in Gods ability to salvage lives that have been plumaged by Sin and false doctrines and even another Gospel that the Apostles did not preach.
I expect the unexpected, and deemed possible the impossible, that Christ should be Glorified and his purpose to redeem those that are lost and make them heirs of the great Salvation, should be fulfilled through the preaching of the gospel. There are no regrets at all. I just hoped that more people would have recognized the love God showed for them by placing this precious pearl of great price, in there midst. This Great Truth of the Gospel, that the Apostles of Christ preached was the same saving Gospel that was also preached in the midst of this community.
It was well worth the time, expense, and work it took to make it so. And I'm still blessed in my spirit today that God allowed me to be a part of it. This experience has not only worked to encourage others, but still encourages me today. As this ministry has been a witness to me through various struggles since the doors closed on this work in Aboite. The memories, the taped bible studies and songs God gave us to share during the former work in Aboite has been uplifting to my spirit and has inspired me if no body else. Praise God!
Sometimes overwhelming circumstances is the tool or weight that breaks us and make us weak that he in us (Christ) will be strong. That we might find God's Greatness in the smallest of things and the abundance of the kingdom in the crumbs that fall from the Masters table. We should not despise the crumbs that God gives us for without them there could never be a whole cake.
I believe nothing done in this ministry was in vain and I also look forward to reunion day in heaven when we shall see the spiritual fruits of our labors here on this earth.
I believe everyone will have a chance to be saved from eternal damnation. But many, as Christ said, "Many will hate you for my name sake." many I have found despise the Gospel message of Acts 2:38. The call of Repentance, and water baptism in the Name of Jesus for the Remission of sins and the infilling of the Spirit of Christ. This is the only Gospel I find that the Apostles actually exampled unto us to preach.
This Gospel is everything to do with Jesus and it glorifies God and is the highest display of God's Mercy and Salvation through Grace by Faith and obedience to the perfect will of God. Salvation through Christ and his name alone according to the Bible is the only Gospel ever revealed to us, that will bring us under God's right arm of redemption.
Anyone with little skill can twist the Scriptures to insinuate whatever they want to believe them to say, Satan twisted the words of God and used them to beguile Eve and created a following or a people for his name (Sinners), and his purpose in the earth, and there's more of their numbers then of us (Sons and Daughters of God) presently in body on this earth. Satan has a congregation in this world you better believe it!
Preach a saving Gospel message and have a move of God in the midst of them and they (Satan's Children) will get jealous because they are envious at losing grip on the souls of the lost. They will try to anathematize you and destroy your witness, talk about you in ways that Christian folks would never do if they had the Spirit of Christ on the inside.
The bible says, no man, Can Call Jesus Christ Lord (OUR GOD AND FATHER) except the Spirit of Christ the Holy Ghost be in him. And no man can call him accursed unless the Spirit of God is not in him. And only those that hear Christ's voice and obey and follow him are of his sheepfold.
Those who are controlled by the Man of Sin on the inside need the Power of God unto salvation to save them from a devils destiny.
Twisting the scriptures and using that kind of deceit against man to take the Glory of God from us is the devils work, and requires leaving some things out usually, or adding some things in, or throwing the baby out with the bathwater so to speak (forget the bible all together). These will refuse the witness of other qualifying Scriptures also. Satan did this when he beguiled Eve in the Garden of Eden. The Bible says this will happen that many wrestle the scriptures to their own destruction.
2Pe.3:16
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own
destruction.
