Introduction - The Invisible Church.

1. The Invisible Church - Introduction Card 



Good day to everyone.


I am John.

I expound on 'The Invisible Church'.

I am 70 years old.

I have been a Christian for 60 years.

I gave my life to Jesus when I was 10 years old. 


At the age of 26, I was made aware of the Holy Ghost.

This was when I was led to the Baptism of the Holy Ghost.

I knew NOTHING of the Holy Ghost.

They prayed for me and I felt like I was being filled up with water.

I began speaking in an unknown language.

I didn't believe it.

But, a Turkish friend of mine, translated my tongues. 

So, still with unbelief, I realized that speaking in other languages was REAL.


I have studied the Bible much.

I have read the Bible much.

I have analyzed the Bible much.

I have considered Worldly concepts in relation to the Word of God.


I have come to a logically deduced reason that Jesus was Resurrected. 

If you want me to explain that to you, I can. We would need at least 2 hours, to begin with.


But, short of calling me a liar, a carnie, a clown or a troubadour, I beg you to believe me.

Yes, I know, that the 'church' has become a vexation, a carnival, a circus and an entertainment center.

But, believe me...... Jesus is Alive!

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater!!

Use your brain.

Believe in what I'm saying to you!

If I'm standing here lying to you........

What have I to gain?


The central event in human history is the resurrection of 'Joshua the Nazarene' (ie. Jesus).

He is a Jew. 

Born in Bethlehem.

From Nazareth.

It's NO joke !!!


NOW !!

Turn to Jesus, instead of turning away from Him.

He can save your soul.


You see, we all have a body.

We all have a spirit.

But, because we are sinners, our spiritual relationship to God died.

AND,

We all develop a soul (ie. our mind, our personality, our belief, our character).


Now, in order to save our soul, God asks you to accept His Son's death on the Cross.

He asks you to believe that Jesus paid for your salvation.

It's free.


Why on earth would you reject it?


All God asks is for you to accept His Son's sacrifice on the Cross, as payment for your life.

IT'S A FREE DEAL.

IT'S LIKE WINNING THE LOTTO.

But, you gotta get a ticket.

NO TICKET, NO PRIZE !!!!

TAKE THE TICKET !!!

For my sake, for your sake and for God's sake!

He loves you and wants you to WIN !!


God does everything except override your will (CHOICE).

God will not go against your choice.

If He did, we would be robots.


Devil worshippers ASK Satan into their lives.

That is how the spiritual life works.

There are bad (evil) spirits and there is One Holy Spirit.

Turn to Him !!

Ask HIM into your life.

When you turn to Jesus, ask Jesus into your life the Holy Spirit comes into your life.


You have a choice.

Choose wisely!

It's a matter of life or death.

It's a matter of Heaven with God or Hell with the devil.


Yes! 

God does everything for us.

All we have to do is ASK Jesus into our hearts.


THEN THE MIRACLE HAPPENS !!!!


Your spirit is brought back to life by the Power of the Holy Ghost.

Then your Soul is saved.

This is called REPENTANCE and SALVATION.


Now, after that, DELIVERANCE happens.

The Holy Ghost works in you to save your SOUL.

He never leaves you.

He helps you to RECOVER your Soul.


You are TRANSFORMED. 

Like those electrical boxes you see on the electric poles.

They TRANSFORM one type electricity to another type of electricity.


Yes, your soul is transformed from a dying soul to a living soul.

It's called being BORN AGAIN !!!!


DO IT !!


AMEN and HALLELUJAH !!!!

I expound on 'The Invisible Church'.
I don't preach 'Religion' (ie. trying to find God).......I preach 'Relationship' (ie. God finding us).
Pray to Jesus....He hears every word!
Be at peace!
Amen!

'Augustine of Hippo' on the "Invisible Church"

Augustine of Hippo (354–430 AD) is one of the most influential theologians in Christian history, and while he did not explicitly use the term "Invisible Church," his writings laid much of the groundwork for the later development of this concept in Christian thought, especially in Reformed theology. ### Augustine's View of the Church For Augustine, the Church was central to Christian life and salvation, and he deeply engaged with issues related to the nature of the Church, particularly in the context of his struggles against various heresies, such as Donatism and Pelagianism. #### Key Themes Related to the Invisible Church 1. **Two Aspects of the Church**: Augustine viewed the Church as having two aspects—an earthly, visible institution and a spiritual, invisible reality. The visible Church consists of those who outwardly participate in Christian worship and sacraments, while the invisible Church is composed of those who are truly predestined for salvation by God. 2. **Mix...

'Clement of Alexandria' on 'The Invisible Church'.

Clement of Alexandria (c. 150–c. 215 AD) was an early Christian theologian and philosopher, deeply influential in the development of Christian thought, particularly within the context of Alexandrian Christianity. While Clement did not directly speak of the "Invisible Church" as it was later conceptualized, his writings contain ideas that align with the concept of an invisible, spiritual Church. ### Key Ideas in Clement's Thought Relating to the Invisible Church 1. **True Gnosis (Knowledge) and the Spiritual Church**: Clement emphasized the idea of **gnosis** (Greek for "knowledge"), which, in his Christian context, referred to a deeper spiritual understanding and connection with God. He believed that true Christians possess a kind of spiritual knowledge that goes beyond mere outward observance of religious practices. This aligns with the concept of the Invisible Church, which includes those who possess true faith and spiritual insight, beyond the visible, instit...
