   Releasing of the Assembly of God   
   30 Sep 03 20:21:12

                        Releasing of the Assembly of God   
      
   You can read in 1 Cor. 12:12-31 about the Body of Christ, and the   
   fellowship of the limbs. The devil interprets this in his own way.   
   He means that since the limbs shall have fellowship, they must be   
   bound together. The head cannot say to the feet, I do not need you.   
   Accordingly, the devil takes out the rope of a lie and tries to bind   
   together the head and the feet. And the fingers shall have fellowship.   
   Accordingly he glues together the fingers.   
      
   In that way the Body of Christ has, figuratively speaking, been   
   bound to hands and feet. The Christians are bound with strange   
   bonds that do not belong to the Assembly body. But the Christians   
   are so used to these bonds so that they comprehend this as something   
   normal. They cannot see the difference between these unnatural   
   bonds and the limbs' natural connection with the body.   
      
   When someone wants to leave a church, then other members ask,   
   "Do you think leave the assembly? Do you think leave the   
   fellowship?" If someone begins to cut off the bonds that the body   
   is bound with, then many become afraid and think that now the   
   body falls in pieces, and the limbs become separated from one   
   another. If someone washes away the devil's glue from the hands,   
   then they think that the fingers fall off.   
      
   To be able to live a normal life and do God's will, the limbs must   
   have an individual ability to move about one another. And when   
   the Lord sends the sharp double-egged sword, which is God's word,   
   then many become afraid and think he will cut into pieces the Assembly.   
   But he will cut off only the devil's bond so that the Assembly be   
   free. That is nothing that be afraid of and it is only to praise the   
   Lord and feel happy.
