Do Religious Experiences Validate Church Reality?

  

Do religious experiences experienced during programmed-event-driven meetings, no matter how solemn or boisterous the atmosphere, resemble true Church reality? What passes for Church in Sunday-event-driven meetings is so far removed from what Church reality is that it fails at even being a cheap imitation. 

Some institutionalized churches bring in big name speakers, big name singers and set aside time for special meetings and call what takes place in these event-driven meetings, "Church reality". The meetings are set up by denominational organizers who, in some cases want to do a great work for God, but fail to see that Church reality is about God doing His great work in and through 

​His Community of the Redeemed​

in their

​ daily​

living of life.

Institutionalism has reduced Church to being a popular belief or assumption that has evolved around man-invented ideologies that is accepted as the norm and is confined behind four walls of a building doing event-drive-meetings, while God is looking for His Community​

​of the Redeemed ​

to fill the earth with expressions of His glory. This can never be accomplished behind the segregated denominational walls of segregation. 

Whatever the institutional walled-in church accomplishes for God due to man-made effort is of little value in fulfilling God's plan for

​the Community of Humanity​

.

Institutions build large grandiose structures and call them "churches", we invent a myriad of programs to keep people in the buildings

​  and sin-conscious​

, but have little God consciousness and little understanding of His purpose and plan for humanity. We have more denominated trained professional ministers graduating from religiously denominated seminaries than ever before  who have little understanding of Who God is

​ or Hid eternal plan​

. We have seminars on spiritual warfare, how to defeat the devil, prosperity and healing campaigns and spend huge amounts of money on advertising to get people to attend these meetings. But where is the fruit of the

​living Christ​

?

We pride ourselves of in that we are bible knowledgeable without realizing our doctrines are polluted with

​ man-made​

denominational influences. The knowledge we think we know has made us arrogant and obstructs our view of Christ who taught us it is being loving that edifies. We have no song on our lips and no hope in our heart because we have replaced true spiritual reality with religious hyperactivity. Our spiritual elite denominated theologians sit in their leather chairs and hand out directives as rules to be obeyed by the spiritually depleted pew-warmers so they can be spiritualized to the hierarchical acceptance of what spirituality is.

As 

​religionists​

we are power-hungry and covet hierarchical  positions as if climbing the corporate ladder to success is a spiritual objective. We place much value on numbers, programs, doctrines, rule following and budgets and little value on loving people. Those who are invited into leadership positions are denominationally trained to promote their denominational preference or are famous and influential. We forget that spiritual authority is not given to the savvy professional but to those who have the Spirit of God within them and share in His is ministry by working with Him.

Where are the people of God who are sick and tired of being sick and tired of the spiritual bankruptcy

​of people who​

​

​claim to be followers of Christ​

?

A true relationship with God brings us not only to the end of ourselves, but brings an end to religio

​usity​

as well. We will prostrate ourselves

​before God​

, where we lay down our selfish hopes, dreams and ambitions and He transforms us, and transfers us

​from the pre-cross law living ​

to

​post-​

cross

​grace living ​

where we rest in His love because of His grace as He does His work through us as the C

​ommunity of the Redeemed​

 

​in​

bringing hope to

​the Community of​

​ ​

​Humanity in daily living of life​.
