Denominational Differences – Gods Design? ??

Why are there so many  Denominations?   There is only God, yet we have hundreds of ways we Worship.  Some really understand Praise and Worship.   Others are so quietly reverent, shouting in Praise is almost sacrilegious.

Some practice healing,  tongues, prophecy, the gifts of the Spirit.   Others acknowledge the Spirit  but let’s  not get too spooky.   There are free Spirits and ridged rituals. Some who  protect and believe their Denominations revelation and think there is none other.

I will once again ask you to take your Denominational glasses off and understand the Word of God.  Some like to think that Since Jesus saved us from the law of sin and death, that we don’t need to understand the Old Testament,  behold all things became new.

Gods character, desires and design is the same throughout the entire book.  He desires a people who will Worship Him in Spirit and truth.  A people who will walk in and consider His testimony, hearken diligently to His Word and obey.  Give themselves  to Him in all they do.

So let us see how that works out.  As it was in the Old it remains in the New.  There were millions of people, brought out of Egypt  and led to the promised land.  God spent the first two years in the desert  teaching them to be sanctified, consecrated,  holy before Him.

When they heard the voice of God, they asked Moses to be their intermediary.   When it became time to enter the promise.   All but two had an evil heart of unbelief and never entered the promise.   Joshua and Caleb had a different spirit, because they had a relationship with God.

If we look at the configuration of the order of march in the desert for the next 38 years we find out it looks like a cross.  There is order in the way they are positioned  around the Tabernacle.

The leader is always  Judah,  Praise,  God is holy and inhabits Praise: 
Psalm 22:3
King James Version (KJV)
“But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.”

The Tabernacle and Sanctuary  travel in the midst  of all, the children of Levi caring for it. 

One tribe carries the fabrics that make up the rooms of the Tabernacle.

One tribe carries the hardware and rods, boards and hard structures of the  Tabernacle.

The third tribe hand carries the Sanctuary.   The alter, candle sticks, mercy seat,  implements for sacrifices.

All other tribes are surrounding and protecting the house of the Lord.

The point is all have a particular responsibility.   We todays believers, are the Levites and Priest’s,   we are to carry the Word, guard the Word, respect and have reverence for the Word.

Act on the Word.  Praise the Lord, pray for the sick, comfort the brokenhearted,  walk in the Spirit,  the light, in wisdom towards them without.

The Denominations should all be working together,  to proclaim the year of the Lord.  In one accord about the Spiritual.   This one thing:  “God is, and is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. “

That is why the early church grew, the church would grow today if we really believed.

Please look to the Spiritual,  the things on earth are fleeting,  gone in a moment.  Set your sights on that which is above.  Love and share the Love of our Lord.

Love Jesus?

I love the Lord. So why am I uncomfortable when I see home made signs of love. Why are these folks strange and I’m not?

Lord forgive me, make me bold but loving in my witness.
