THE FREE WORD MINISTRY
Freely ye have received, freely give! (Matthew 10:8)

Introduction Part One

Holy greeting in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He who is, He who was, and He who is to come. 

I have found it necessary to Introduce Myself and share the reason for my Ministry "The Free Word Ministry" and the reason for my Website. My Ministry is about Spiritual Growth and Development. Accountability (being responsible for one’s self to God) and Spiritual Maturity in Christ Jesus our Savior!  My Ministry is about bringing Christians from the Infancy state of thinking, to an Adulthood state of reality and independence (total reliance) on God and His word.

You have been believers so long now that you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things about God’s word. You are like babies who need milk and cannot eat solid food. For someone who lives on milk is still an infant and doesn’t know how to do what is right. Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong.

                            Hebrews 5:12-14 (New Living Translation)

I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God’s throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books. The sea gave up its dead, and death and the grave gave up their dead. And all were judged according to their deeds.

                               Revelation 20:12-13 (New Living Translation)

For the Scriptures says,“ As surely as I live says the Lord, every Knee will bend to me, and every tongue will confess and give praise to God.” Yes, each of us will give a Personal Account to God.

Romans 14:11-12 (New Living Translation)

You have come to need milk, not solid food. For everyone who continues to feed on milk is obviously inexperienced and unskilled in the doctrine of righteousness (of conformity to the divine will purpose, thought, and action), for he is a mere infant [not able to talk yet]! But solid food is for full-grown men, for those whose senses and mental faculties are trained by practice to discriminate and distinguish between what is morally good and noble and what is evil and contrary either to divine or human law.  

                                                         Hebrews 5:11-14 

If you are on My Website and you are still on milk, you may get offended with what I am saying because immaturity and maturity sometimes don't mix! When I was called into ministry thirteen years ago, the milk stopped immediately! And I was placed on solid foods. It did not take me long to eat meat because the person feeding me was not a man but a Spirit, The Holy Spirit!

My Website and Ministry is for Mature Christians like myself.  For those who do not need a Pastor's guidance. For Mature Christians who know the Voice of God and can be effective in their spiritual walk with or without going to a physical building.

 Believers have been lead to believe they need to be under a Human Covering. This is not true but a lie! But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

                                                       (1 Corinthians 11:3)

Christ is the Head of every man and woman, meaning He alone covers His Church.  There is nowhere in this scripture where Pastors are to cover anyone but their wives. If they have one. The only people a Pastor have been given the authority  to cover (rule over/headship) are those in his own household, and most of them are not doing a good job at that, yet and still they have the audacity to say they are a spiritual covering for God's Church?

We have Pastors divorcing and remarrying. We have Pastors children running wild and out of control, yet and still they have the audacity to say they are  a covering? How can they be a covering when their own lives are tore up from the floor up! We cover each other in prayer and in Love! But the Spiritual Covering (Head Ship) belongs to God all by Himself.

Let me take you here! and the word of God says:

THEN JESUS said to the multitudes and to His disciples, The scribes and Pharisees sit on Moses' seat [of authority]. So observe and practice all they tell you; but do not do what they do, for they preach, but do not practice.

And they take pleasure in and [thus] love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues,  And to be greeted with honor in the marketplaces and to have people call them rabbi.

But you are not to be called rabbi (teacher), for you have one Teacher and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone [in the church] on earth father, for you have one Father, Who is in heaven. And you must not be called masters (leaders), for you have one Master (Leader), the Christ. He who is greatest among you shall be your servant.

Whoever exalts himself [with haughtiness and empty pride] shall be humbled (brought low), and whoever humbles himself [whoever has a modest opinion of himself and behaves accordingly] shall be raised to honor.

 But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders (hypocrites)! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces; for you neither enter yourselves, nor do you allow those who are about to go in to do so.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders (hypocrites)! For you swallow up widows' houses and for a pretense to cover it up make long prayers; therefore you will receive the greater condemnation and the heavier sentence.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders (hypocrites)! For you travel over sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes one [a proselyte], you make him doubly as much a child of hell (Gehenna) as you are.

Woe to you, blind guides, who say, If anyone swears by the sanctuary of the temple, it is nothing; but if anyone swears by the gold of the sanctuary, he is a debtor [bound by his oath].

 You blind fools! For which is greater: the gold, or the sanctuary of the temple that has made the gold sacred? You say too, Whoever swears by the altar is not duty bound; but whoever swears by the offering on the altar, his oath is binding.

You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar which makes the gift sacred? So whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. And he who swears by the ⁱsanctuary of the temple swears by it and by Him Who dwells in it.   [I Kings 8:13; Ps. 26:8.]

And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by Him Who sits upon it. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders (hypocrites)! For you give a tenth of your mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected and omitted the weightier (more important) matters of the Law--right and justice and mercy and fidelity.

These you ought [particularly] to have done, without neglecting the others. You blind guides, filtering out a gnat and gulping down  a camel! Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders (hypocrites)! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the plate, but within they are full of extortion (prey, spoil, plunder) and grasping self-indulgence.

You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and of the plate, so that the outside may be clean also. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders (hypocrites)! For you are like tombs that have been whitewashed, which look beautiful on the outside but inside are full of dead men's bones and everything impure.

Just so, you also outwardly seem to people to be just and upright but inside you are full of pretense and lawlessness and iniquity. 

                                      Matthew 23:1-28 (Amplified Bible) 

God's Word says, that we are Not supposed to call Men our Spiritual Fathers! (Spiritual Covering) we are to be called Brothers! When you have totally learned how to rely on the Holy Spirit you have  One Teacher, One Master (Leader) and One Father! You know longer need two Instructors. You know longer need a Pastor or some one to guide you because; you are being lead by the Holy Spirit within.

 If you think about it, who had your back and kept you covered when you were out in the world doing everything and anything you wanted to do? Do you think that changed because you started going to a building someone called church? Going to a building doesn't stop you from sinning!

 The devil is a liar! Christ covered you then and He is covering you now,  inside or outside of a building that someone calls a church building.......Please!! The same rain that rains on the Saved also rains on the Sinners there is but "One God" meaning "One Covering" and that (One Covering) is a Spirit and not your Pastor and not His or her building.

Buildings my Sisters and Brothers have nothing to do with your Salvation. What these scriptures are saying is that you do not have to go through a man who calls himself Pastor to get to Jesus.  Christ saves not that building you attend every Sunday Morning.

Going to church on Sunday mornings is a tradition, not a  commandment from God for your Salvation! Do not get traditions and the reality of God's Word twisted. There is a Big difference between God's Word and the traditions of man and I am the one to tell you!

Pastors and Spiritual Leaders have used this verse from the bible to keep believers stuck inside church buildings for years. Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching      

                                                   Hebrews 10:25

Pastors fail to teach their members that they can assemble themselves anywhere at any time IN or OUT of a building and, it does not take a large group to  fellowship in  Christ but two or three touching and agreeing in the Name of of the Lord!

You do not have to be in a building to touch and agree this is 2010 we have telephones today, we have televisions, we have computers and radios today, we have Cds' tapes, and videos. 

One day while I was driving to St Pete, I put in one of T.D Jakes tapes and the anointing I received in my car was awesome! There was  an agreement made while I was driving between The Father, The Son, The Holy Ghost, T.D Jakes, and myself. God is Omnipresent, He is everywhere at all times. To think that you have to be in a building to be touched by God is......... Foolishness! And don't get it twisted!

You do not have to be in a building to exhort one another! Neither do you have to be in a crowd to lift up the name of the Lord! Most of my encouragements come from people from the telephone, emails, text messages or from my computer. Not from a church building. I out grow the traditional building a long time ago. 

Again I say unto you, that if Two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

                                                   Matthew 18:19-20

The only thing that building you attend on Sundays can cover you from is the weather if the building is strong enough. How can a building be your covering when Pastors lose their buildings all the time? So when your Pastor is put out of the building because he or she cannot pay their rent or mortgage I guess there goes your spiritual covering.

 And, as for the Pastor himself or herself, he or she can not cover you because they are not perfect themselves. And tell me what are they covering you with? And please tell me what are they covering you from? What does these People have that you don’t have, or can’t get from God for your selves?

I guess when your Pastor dies your spiritual covering dies as well. Then you will have to find someone else to cover you who sooner or later will die also.  Also what happens when your spiritual covering ends up on the News for beating his wife or molesting little girls or boys?

Pastors in the news is common these days! once this happens then you will have to go find another person to cover you who may be worse than the last one. You had better learn how to trust and rely on the inter man within or you will find yourselves in a mess!

Anyone can start a Place of Worship.  All you need is a vision and a name. Just because someone starts a church gathering doesn’t mean you have to put their business before your own needs or the needs of your family. This is crazy and does not make sense to me. Neither does it make sense for intelligent people to give someone their money every payday year after year to keep telling them the same things. What is up with that? Christ never told anyone to do this.

 You can have church and bible study in your own homes. Going to a social gathering is a choice not a necessity. Second what is a church assembly? A church assembly is a place where two or more believers gather in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, touching and agreeing. 

And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was mark; where many were gathered together praying.

Acts (12:12)

It doesn’t take a large crowd to have church. The building is not and has never been The Church. The Church is the people in the building. If you take the people (The Church) out of the building the building becomes another unoccupied piece of property.

There are too many Christians who feel they have to go to a building with a name on it to be saved. Any building that has a name on it belongs to someone; it’s their business. You do not have to go to a person’s business to be saved. Too many Christians get bent out of shape over someone’s corporation. You have Christians who will fight or be willing to give up their lives over a business/ministry that’s not theirs.

And when the day Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Acts (2:3-4)

The Holy Spirit has no preference. He will be wherever there are believers touching and agreeing. Jesus’ ministry was not inside a building with a name on it, and neither were the Apostle’s ministry inside a building. Most of their work was done outside or in homes. The blind was healed, the lame man walked, and demons were cast out. The miraculous works of Jesus and His Apostles were done outside. Most of those that came to Christ came from the streets, they were saved outdoors.

Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them. There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks and them whic` were vexed wit` unclean spirit{: and they weve healed everyofe.

Acts (5:15)

The Eunuch was in his chariot when God sent Philip to preach to him. The apostle Paul was on his way to Damascus when he was saved. Peter was sent to Cornelius home to save those that he had gathered at his house. I was called by God as I sat with a patient in the hospital while she slept. Simon, Peter and Andrew were called while fishing. Gideon was called while threshing wheat. Elisha, the son of Shaphat, was plowing with twelve oxen’s when he was called. The God we serve is everywhere at all times. He does not and will not ever need a building to save.

And at mid night Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s band was loosed.

Acts (16:25-26)

Not only did God visit Paul and Silas at prison. He also saved the guard who was watching over the prisoners. And not only did God save him, but all his household was saved. On the day of Pentecost they were all filled with the Holy Ghost. Where? Inside a house. God doesn’t care where you serve Him. All He wants is for you to call on His name.

Jesus met the woman at the Well. He went to the graveyard and raised Lazarus. He went to the ruler’s house and raised his daughter from the dead. He never told them to bring them to a church building. Jesus healed someone who had been sick for thirty-eight years, near a pool. Zacchaeus was in a tree when Jesus called him and saved his house. Jesus was at a gate in town when He raised the dead.

Jesus healed many on Simon and Andrew’s door steps. Blind Bartimaeus was sitting by the highway when He was healed. Jesus healed some as he came down a mountain. Buildings do not and will never impress Christ. While the Holy Spirit is in the mega churches, He is also in the smaller churches across town.

I have heard Pastors and church goers quote this scripture "Forsake not the assembling of youselves together." They tell you this so you can come to church and bring your money with you. You do not have to be in a building to be assembled with other believers. It’s your choice.

Women of God, you can be your own first lady in your own home and your husband (if you have one) can be the Pastor. Your children, family and friends can be your congregation. You do not have to go a building to lift up the name of Jesus, all you need is two people touching and agreeing, and Jesus said in His word that He will be there.

Put on some gospel music, close the widows, and have yourselves a Holy Ghost good, time in the Lord, in your own homes. By doing this you have fulfilled this scripture.  Take that ten percent that you give every payday and sow a seed.  Save and invest the rest into your own Ministry. A day is coming  when you are going to wish you would have listen to Prophetess Roberts and saved that ten percent that you give ever payday.

And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Hebrews (10: 24-25)

When the Apostles said, Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. They did not have a church building to gather the disciples in. They met in homes or other places where disciples came together.  Jesus and the Apostles preached and taught mostly on the outside of buildings.

 Christians are brainwashed into thinking that the building they worship in is going to save them. If you sin before you went to church then you are a sinner when you go to church if you did not repent for that sin. Going to church doesn’t wipe your sins away don’t get it twisted.

You can go to a building every Sunday and still be lost. There are no guarantees that you will be saved because you go to a building every Sunday morning. The church may not know what you are doing undercover but God does.

Christ saves, we cannot save ourselves without relying totally on the Holy Spirit to guide us into righteousness. Change starts in the heart and in the mind. Changes start when you make up your mind to release that negative spirit that causes you to sin in the first place. Sinning is a choice. We sin because we choose to sin. Many Christians try to cover up their sins by attending church.

By attending church those who sin feel self-righteous by going, but in reality the sin is still there and needs to be dealt with. There are Christians who feel sinners are those on the outside of the church.  They are the ones on the inside; "undercover sinners" and "in the closet sinners."

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon.

Matthew (6:24)

Church goers have never impressed me and never will. I watch their behavior when they are not in a church building, for this is what determines a real Christian. The word of God says “By their fruits ye shall know them.

I am not putting down going to a place of worship, but most believers go for the wrong reasons. Many go for a quick fix, a Spiritual High, and once church is over they find themselves back in the same depressing situation they were in before they came to church. This same cycle continues year after year like a rollercoaster ride.

Up and down and up and down and up and down. You see sooner or  later you will become dizzy and become confused because you have been on that rollercoaster ride for too long. It is time to get off that rollercoaster and get a grip on life and that is called Spiritual Maturity in Christ Jesus.

You go to church to get something, that something is called deliverance from whatever situation you were in before you got there. You could be feeling down and depressed, or having marriage problems, financial problems, work related issues, sicknesses or death. Church starts before you get to church.

You should be so focused on receiving something from God that as soon as you reach the door you should know that God has answered your prayers. You should never come to church and leave the same way you came.

Soon as you walk in the door you should be slain in the Spirit and wake up knowing that you have your deliverance from whatever the problem was before you got there. Too many church goers, play church, they have no idea what church assembling is all about. You go to church to lift each other up in the word with prayer and in Love. You come to church to be empowered!

You hear about Christians going to church, but you do not here about them being set free or delivered from their sins. The reason is, most Christians see church as Sunday morning entertainment and nothing more.

There are believers who believe the building they worship in belongs to God. There are also believers who believe God dwells inside these buildings, and soon as something happens they run to a building with a religious name on it.

In other words, they run from the interman within (the Holy Spirit) and run to the man on the pulpit! It doesn't make sense to me! Then again I am not on milk, I eat solid foods! You brought Christ with you when you came to that building and when you leave the Spirit of God leaves also.

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple are ye?

                                                 1Corinthians 3:16-17

Now the main point in what has been said is this: we have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.

Hebrews (8:1) NASB

God is not impressed with your church home. You may be, but God isn't. God can care less where you are when you lift up His name. God’s home is in heaven and the earth is His foot stool.

Thus says the Lord: heaven in My throne, and the earth is My footstool. What kind of house would you build for me? And what kind can be my resting place? For all these things My hands has made, and so all these things have come into being [by and for me], says the Lord. But this is the man to whom I will look and have regard: he who is humble and of a broken or wounded spirit, and who trembles at my word and reveres My commands.

                                                            Isaiah (66:1-2) Amplified bible  

Personally, I feel the church building should be for sinners. It should be for those who are not saved and would like to get to know Christ as their savior. In other words, those who are lost and seeking salvation. For the son of man came to seek and save that which was lost!! Luke 19:10  

When you go inside the House of God today you cannot tell the saved from the sinners....... why? Because the "so called to be saved" Christians are sitting in the House of God with the sinners. The saved should not be inside the building but on the outside of the building in God’s harvest doing greater works. I will say it again! The church building is not for old converts who say they are saved. 

And the Word of God goes on to say:  Concerning this we have much to say which is hard to explain, since you have become dull in your [spiritual] hearing and sluggish [even slothful in achieving spiritual insight]. For even though by this time you ought to be teaching others, you actually need someone to teach you over again the very first principles of God’s word. You have come to need milk, not solid food.

For everyone who continues to feed on milk is obviously inexperienced and unskilled in the doctrine of righteousness (of conformity to the divine will purpose, thought, and action), for he is a mere infant [not able to talk yet]! 

 But solid food is for full-grown men, for those whose senses and mental faculties are trained by practice to discriminate any distinguish between what is morally good and noble and what is evil and contrary either to divine or human law.       

                                                          Hebrews 5:11-14   

Basic common sense! The church building should be a place where you bring your children because the bible says raise up a child the way he shall go and he shall not depart from it. You bring your children to church to be disciplined in the House of God, and you bring your children in the House of God to learn about salvation and Christ. How does it look, grown folks sitting in church with their children? You should feel embarrassed as an adult.  

 Also, the House of God should be a place to come when you are running on empty and you need a spiritual uplift in your spirit to make it another day, in other words, a place to be recharged and strengthened in the Holy Ghost.    

But let me say this! Mature Christians know how to be recharged daily by getting into the word and by speaking the word of faith in their spirit and in their lives! Mature Christians do not have to wait until Sunday to go to a physical building to reactivate their faith in God because they are mature enough to know God is in them and all around them at all times.    

The church building should be a place where saved and unsaved can come for counseling. A place where drug addicts, alcoholics and prostitutes can come and be set free and delivered. The church building should be a place where demons are cast out and the sick are healed.  

Healthy Christians should not be inside the church building unless they are the Pastor or administrators working inside the building, keeping the doors to the church opened. Even then they should be busy working in their own individual ministries and callings.

Like I said before, the church building should not be for old converts who claim they are saved. Old converts should be outside the building working in God’s harvest doing greater works outside the physical building.  

It is a shame before God that you have old converts who have sat in church for years and do not know how to minister to the lost. After Jesus taught His disciples He sent them out in pairs. He did not keep them in a building to collect tithes and offerings.

Jesus' agenda for dying on the cross was not money, title, position nor power and do not get that twisted! Anyone with common sense knows you go to school to be taught something. Once you become educated in that area that you went to school in, you then go out in the field that you were taught in and WORK!

The Church should be about Ministry!! Visiting the sick, feeding the hungry, prison ministry, rehab ministry, nursing home ministry, missionary work, seeking the lost, street ministry....... in other words the Church should be heavily involved in outreach Ministries!

True Christians are about hands on..... Not pew sitting! And don't get that twisted!  Come out! Come out! Come out of those buildings says our God!! Come out and work in His harvest! Our Lord says the harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few. Come out! Come out of those building says our God and work in His harvest!! 

You do not go to a physical building that one calls a "church home" to stay. Where does it say believers are to find a church building and call that building their church home? Find church home in your bibles!
