Being Post Cat Food - Im Risking Here

Ok - im now post cat food crisis, and am now driven yet again by where i am going, and so, i have remembered what i was gonna say.
Ok... THIS IS VERY CONTROVERSIAL....i am by nature, generally a 'mediating' person, i am a bridge between where we have been and where we are going, i am for the whole church, the church in transition and the church transitioning through.

So..... this is something God has provoked me with BECAUSE AN ADJUSTMENT IS REQUIRED IN THIS SEASON.

I was in a setting where two people really shocked me (and i needed shocking). They said, No - The Church As We Have Know It Is Utter Poison - Something that gives life in part - is not life at all, something that gives promises of helpign you to run then holds you in is utterly utterly evil and ungodly - there IS NO MIDDLE GROUND, You Cannot Be Both And Be Called Church.

Another said, No, its not ok to leave people in that, we need to see it for what it is, ITS A PUSHER, ITS A DEALER OF DEATH, You would not allow someone you love who is going through rehab for heroin addiction to go back to their dealer.

I do feel, however controversial - that there is something truly prophetic in this, i think its a cry of desperation and clarity from Gods heart more than it is a black and white statement. I have wrestled with this a lot, i can tell you - it has not sat well with me at all, but that doesnt mean its not God.

So here is what has come out of that for me, as a lover of all things the body:

I have spent a long time finding 'mediating' language for the mainstream church to understannd that we are 'for' the body, and fully alive in christ - believign the same things and having transitioned into another way of being churhc for FULLNESS OF LIFE and for MISSION.

I have sought to justify - i have sought to gain approval and acceptance so we can continue to have open doors of communication. Whilst i still value that and operate like that to some degree, THERE IS A TIME COMING WHEN WE CEASE TO SAY - "HEY WE ARE CHURCH JUST LIKE YOU - PLEASE ACCEPT US", and instead begin to make declarations with apostolic unction and authority WE ARE CHURCH, BUT WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU, because we find a place of honesty and an ability to say.....much of what you are doing is counter productive and a constraint to the saints comign to fullness in all of life............ some of it is counter kingdom folks, and as such is ANTI CHRISTIAN.

Now, im sure you will appreciate, i have said that to no-one as yet, but it has taken me off the back foot where there has been seeking of acceptance in a wrong way. You know what - thats just bowing to Empire, end of story, if there is a percieved someone 'above us' with 'more rights and more rightness' than us - its just empire and control by another name.......... and that means comign under witchcraft. Wherever we seek to craft the future of others to our own will - thats witchcraft.

See - so hot it burns your hands and causes terrible discomfort - but search your hearts. I know it sounds spooky - but are my hands clean of dealing death and crafting peoples future with send agenda - or even to maintain our organisats personnel and gift needs. how many businessmen have i valued on the basis of tithe and being able to do the pa desk, and not invested intot heir life setting calling as a ministry gift enbaling them to come to fullness in works of service, not works in my sunday service....or cell....or anythign else centred in need of hands.
