We ARE LOOKING FOR AN AUTHORITY - Julius Fann, Jr

Between November 17 and 22, 2018, the angel of death visited our family, taking three loved ones from us. They who once walked among us, now live on only in memories.

One was an Ordained Minister who preached the saving grace of God and died of cancer. I wonder often how those who preach God to others every Sunday being a healer can cope with the reality of their words when they realize they were not immured. The second family member was an evangelical Missionary who passed on at ninety-eight years of age quietly in her sleep. The third member was a layperson who also died in their sleep. The latter two died a day apart. 

As I gathered myself for the week ahead preparing for their homegoing service, I realized all humanity of flesh is seeking an Authority that would give them ("the word of his power" Hebrews 1:3) they could speak ("but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.” - Mt.8:8) to cast down the last enemy by breaking the chain death Scripture states occur that was put upon mankind by our ancestral parents of flesh -Adam and Eve-. When we find it, the secret place of the Word within us, we will understand exactly why no human authority has been sufficient to perform permanent healing of all kinds in the world of matter. We will also understand why God's authority can never be found outside of our being. We will also discover when we consciously enter our ("temple not made with hands" - 2 Corinthians 5) touch God's authority, we will have discovered the path of revelation, and realize when we are told "What, know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you," these words are referring to your entire physical, mental, and spiritual body, the Holy Trinity of you.

So, I ask myself what is faith now? What is the value of faith when we do not understand the Spirit implication, nor the meaning of Mt.8:13: "Go thy way, and as thou hast believed, so it is done unto thee." Who reading this knows the value of their belief, their spoken word? Who here claiming belief in God, or being filled with the Holy Ghost, or even claiming to have the "same Spirit of faith" as Christ unerringly displayed can "speak the word only." See-2Cor.4:13, Mt.8:8.

The composite of man's illusion is his belief and faith in the material world are more real than God. What is, is invisible. There is nothing in the material world that will not decay. ("Belief in God is not enough until the mystery of God, man, and the universe is an open book. The late Herb Fitch advocated. "Until this mystery overrides every human belief, we will continue to squander our life's substance while praying to a god who doesn't answer our prayers. Unfortunately, the ways of the world today are not Sonship with God. Hardly any of us can claim to have penetrated the realm called the kingdom of God, and yet the message of Christ is: My kingdom is not of this world" - John 18:36.

Christ also states "If ye love me, obey my commandment." Who then of this world has obeyed His commandment? Who then in this world can say whatsoever I ask in His name He is doing? Who can wave a magic wand and bring peace to this world, who knows the way to purify the air we breathe? To prevent the fires that come like a thief in the night. Who knows the way to prevent disease, who knows the way to overcome death? Who knows the way to eternal happiness?

And so, we discover that the Bible, and fifty million more Bible, and sermons, and prayers have turned away from the commandment, has lost the way, and religion itself has found another way, not the way of Christ, for there is no demonstration of the way of Christ in religion at all, or science, or on this earth. Where will you find Christ demonstrated? In what home, in what city, in what country can we say there is the Christ incarnate, there is the purity of His teaching appearing as the joy, the peace, the truth, the miracle of God on earth?" Words of the late Herb Fitch).

Never give power to anything a person believes is their source of strength - jufa
