GLORY BE

“Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. (Ephesians 3:21, King James Version [the church]).
Greetings In The Holy Name Of Jesus,
My sisters and brothers, “For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.” (Romans 11:36, KJV [all things in Jesus]). “That's a cult!” said a woman, then another woman said the same, from one church to the other. When you hear those people who practice hate position Christ Jesus, not first in their lives and mock him with a second place, the mystery that Apostle Paul spoke of to the Ephesians (3:4), “Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ.),” reveals truth important to each member of the one body. More importantly, the Gentiles---those of the same body, the one body---the church stand as fellow heirs to partake of his promise in Christ by the gospel (3:6). Many of you already understand that there are many people of the same body, which is Jesus Christ---that do not want you there in church, who have hidden agendas---darkened priorities that they are convinced of that means that you stand in the way of them getting their needs met so they must annihilate you---destroy you---war with you right there in the church every chance they get they intend to meet you on the battlefield [It's hard to imagine battle lines drawn between the pews and aisles in the church but the battle lines are drawn and war is fought every time the one body gathers together for all activities]; you must face the truth that Jesus faced that many folks do not want the Spirit in you or for the Spirit to strengthen your inner man (3:16).
You know those folks do not want to share in the riches---do not want God to “grant to you according to the riches of his glory...”(3:16) and there is no stone that they will not turn over or nothing that they will not do to block your love of Jesus, hinder your love for Jesus---even go as far as to reject your love for Jesus. If they did it to Jesus---denied he was the Son of God then they will do it to you--- accuse you of all sorts of blasphemous activities based on nothing but lies and their greed driven by the bed of corruption that they lie in. My dear ones, I feel no joy in telling you about how the haters and evildoers killed my family pets continuously---too many to name and the last killing was to place the mother of the pups in a large can to smoke her like a chef would smoke a pig in order to seduce her pups to feed on their own mother---now, that sounds satanic but oh, how true it is that of recent it happened to a beloved pet named Faith [Incredibly, one man said, “That was a fine dog.”]. When I tell you that there is nothing that they will not do to stop---halt the Spirit from strengthening your inner man by keeping you preoccupied with their constant attacks, I mean it as truth, however, it is mere deception that led those delusional folks to believe that they hold control over the Spirit and that they can stop the Spirit from strengthening your inner man. So, the haters are just as possessed as Judas Iscariot was who betrayed Jesus unto death.
Glory Be! Who can stop the glory of God! Who can stop the glory of Jesus! Who are those people who feel they can? My friends, throughout the scriptures you hear “according to his riches in glory” (3:16; Philippians 4:19) that your needs shall be supplied.
Is it still a mystery? Do you still consider why they push and pull---bucking for power and authority over you in the church...the same body, one body of Jesus so that they receive the lion's share not spare any expense for their private concerns and leave you---those of the one body, left out, behind, without a share---the sufferers, the long sufferers---those who quietly await the time they will step into the glory of God to receive as promised? I heard one beloved saint say she was never invited to her pastor's home. This was after the pastor received a very expensive home from a very rich donation and he reasoned that he needed the home for the barbecues and other social gatherings that he held at his 2
home. Glory Be.
Most importantly, with that said, there is no amount of maneuvering known to man that man can do that will stop, Glory Be. It sounds like a command that glory will be. So, definitively it will be and we hope objectively it calls on the carpet justice in the church. Glory Be. In The Name Of Jesus.
Lord have mercy. Christ have mercy. To God be the glory. Glory Be. Amen.
