前言：真正的教会是在心灵和诚实里敬拜上帝，而不是在砖瓦结构的建筑中。
属世的教会和人们都争相在他们自己的组织中赢得一个好名称，比如教师长老，执事主任牧师。然而属于上帝的属灵的教会并不在意这些名声，他们在谦卑和公义中把自己看为普通的弟兄姐妹。我会在这个视频中仔细的解释一下这是什么意思。
正文：
赞美归给耶稣。主耶稣基督正在引导着他的一小群羊，就是他真正的教会。他们就像羊一样认识自己的老师和引导人的声音。现今世界存在两种不同类型的教会，一种是属于世界的教会，而另外一种是属于圣灵的教会。属世的教会有各种不同的类型。他们遍布各个城市和街角。人们去这些教会就像去酒吧一样。这些属世的教会越炫酷，音乐越动听，人们穿的越光鲜，教会越有钱，就会吸引更多的人加入这个组织。今天的教会办的越成功，他们就必须在世上做的越好。否则谁会愿意去一个不够拉风的教会，谁会愿意去一个牧师穿的破破烂烂，没有钱的教会呢？想要吸引人进来，就必须与世上其他的机构竞争。
这就是教会加入属世的竞争中的原因，他们想要像摇滚表演一样炫酷，他们想像酒吧一样引人流连忘返，他们要有引起轰动的名人效应。所以这个世界办的越好的教会，他们的衣着打扮越像这个世界。但这些教会和神的国度完全没有关系。那这些教会有什么呢？他们确实有等级关系。他们有长老，他们有执事，他们有主教，有牧师，有教师，他们也有传教士。就是保罗在提摩太前后书和提多书里提到的这些职分，以及使徒行传提到的，他们试图模仿那些教会，这样他们就认为自己是合乎圣经的了，因为他们遵循了圣经，把这些职位分配给牧师和各个教会成员。因此。他们自信可以继承上帝的国。但是我们跟随的灵是上帝的灵，是属灵的，他的身体也是属灵的。加入他真正的教会是加入这个属灵的教会。而不是进入一个砖瓦建筑中，也不是一定要在周六或周日去到某个地方。
如果你想羡慕教会中的真职分，想明白作为一个教会的长老执事或者领袖真正的含义是什么，你不需要参照成为属世教会中的职分的流程，他们需要去上学，受到专业教育，得到神学学位，然后才能被按立。即使你属于世界，你也可以通过这套流程获取教会职分。我也曾是一名有执照的神职人员，我也受过专业教育，获得了神学教育证书。我可以做一个专业的牧师，我知道如何运作一个教会。我曾是教会执事委员会的一员。
我知道教会的各项事工是如何运作的，我知道如何架构一个教会，用怎样的演讲方式，怎样作一个假冒伪善的人，让人认为我和神有正确的关系。这些人正像我过去一样，是属世教会的领袖。他们在骗你，他们说你需要交十一奉献给上帝，骗走你的钱。他们也在欺骗你的灵魂，他们对你撒谎，说你需要加入他们的教会组织，他们会引导你进入天国。你需要他们带你去天国，他们会陪伴在你的身边，也会接上你，他们的牧师会给你讲解上帝的正道，教会的会员也都会对你负责。但如果你离开他们，你就像树枝被从树上截断了一样，你就与天国无份了。所有的这些都是撒旦的谎言。这就是撒旦怎样偷走羊群并操控了你，让你加入了一个虚假的基督的身体中。
真正的基督的身体是什么呢？使徒保罗，还有其他的圣徒们为他们的教会定制了一些规则，是属于他们那个时代的特别的规则。但是今天我们却看到人们对保罗的教义变得墨守成规。保罗不允许妇女在他的教会中担任教师或监督。因为在他那个时代，许多女性喜欢八卦闲聊，她们离婚了，或者丈夫过早去世。所以这些妇女忙于管闲事说闲话，说一些她们不当说的话。所以当时保罗制定了这些规则，设立了执事，但都是针对那个时代的。如果我们在今天的这个时代，完全套用同样的规则，并以此来表现我们所行合乎圣经，把保罗的话完全植入我们的生活中，那我们很可能只是在遵循保罗的规则，遵循人制定的规则，把这些当成了上帝的诫命来遵行。耶稣并没有呼召我们跟随保罗、提摩太或提多，他呼召我们来跟随他自己，由他的圣灵来带领。
所以如果我们想知道成为耶稣基督的肢体。究竟意味着什么？我们需要直接走向耶稣去问他，我们需要做什么。基督的肢体中确实有教师，有长老，有执事，但并不是你在今天的教会中所见的这些。
耶稣说不要让别人称呼你们为老师或导师，因为只有一位是你们的老师和父，就是基督。这并不是说我有孩子，我就不能让他们叫我爸爸。也不是说我不能成为学校的老师，或者与你分享我在基督里的经历。而是说，对你来说，我绝不能替代圣灵。但是许多牧师却正想要这样。他们想要作为圣灵来引领你和指导你。这完全是异端邪说。今天的教会把自己放在了摩西和上帝的位置，夺取了你本应献给上帝的真实的信心。如果你降服在他们那不是出于神的的权威中，那你正跪拜在撒旦的脚下。
或许这一切是从你不确定的事情开始的。也许你正在思考，为了与上帝和好，或者我需要加入一个教会。如果你不加入教会，你就觉得很内疚。开始你是清洁无辜的，单纯想做正确的事。但是当你真正加入教会，你会注意到人们，牧师们正在做一些不敬虔的事情，他们带着贬低的语气对女性说话，还有一些人暗地里通奸，一些人关起教会的大门偷情，但是，“我想是上帝带我来这个教会的”，虽然你的初衷是好的，可是你却与这样的一群人纠缠在了一起。就是这个时候魔鬼开始欺骗你说，做一个假冒的伪善的人是没关系的，你生活中犯点罪也没什么的，毕竟教会就像是医院，到这里来的都是有病的人，你也是病人，他们也是病人，上帝都接纳了你们的罪。就从这个时候开始，撒旦就把虚假的福音的种子撒进了你的心里。就从这里开始，他偷走了你真正的信心。
我想要给你指明今天的教会和使徒保罗在那个年代所提到、提摩太所认识的教会，毫无关系。今天的教会完全就是一个企业，他们就像世界的其他组织一样运作着。
但是在一世纪初代的教会都是在人们的家里聚会。如果你回头去读圣经里的书信，你会发现他们都是在个人的家里面聚会的。他们一起掰饼，一起分享从上帝那里得到的启示，出于爱彼此分享。在那里做老师的人并不会因为自己在某所的学校受过教育而高看自己，认为自己有能力。他们与人分享的，都是圣灵分享给他们的。而那些在教会中做长老的人，也仅仅是因为他们比别人年长，所以才会成为长老，他们帮助年轻的人学习与耶稣同行，就像彼得他们一样。彼得绝不会自视有权威而凌驾于他人之上，也不会告诉他人他是第一任教皇，并整晚身着白衣头戴高帽，以显示自己的虔诚。他非常谦卑的认罪悔改，而且当他被圣灵充满之后，每日与主同行。因为耶稣住在他里面，所以通过他行出许多神迹。他与主携手同行。
而且在初代教会中，当出现了一些问题时，才产生的执事一类的职分。但这并不是我们必须要遵循的规则。现在的教会认为每一个教会都必须有一个主任牧师，必须有唱诗班和领袖，必须有执事，也需要一个像犹大那样管钱的人。
所有的这些基本条件都要备齐，最少需要120个人，这样才算是一所教会。这就是律法主义，这就是死板的宗教。无论在哪里有两个人，只要上帝的灵在他们当中他们就是教会。如果我是单独一个人，有人用大铁链拴住我的脖子，把我扔进海里杀死了我，但我的心与耶稣有正确的关系，那我就是殉道者，而且即使在深海的海底，耶稣依然与我同在，有没有人与我在一起都无所谓，我仍然是他的教会。
我现在给你读一下在使徒行传中出现的这个情况。使徒行传第六章记载了执事的由来。
那时，门徒的人数与日俱增。当中有些讲希腊话的犹太人埋怨讲希伯来话的犹太人，说对方在日常分配食物的事上怠慢了他们的寡妇。 于是，十二使徒召集所有的门徒，对他们说：“我们不应该忽略传上帝的道，去管理膳食。 弟兄姊妹，请从你们中间选出七位声誉良好、被圣灵充满、有智慧的人来负责膳食， 而我们要专心祈祷和传道。”(使徒行传 6:1-4 当代译本)
现在你的猜测可能和我一样。如果他们在委派这些任务方面是做的对的，也许他们应该更加谦卑，他们自己去照顾那些在食物的方面被怠慢了的人。但是也许他们所行的是对的。也许那个城里的领袖们知道自己不能又负责膳食分发食物的事，又要上街传福音，或在家中或哪里传福音。他们所处的是一个比较特别的时期，因此他们设立了执事，设立了监督，来照管当时教会会众的需要。但是现在的教会说他们必须要有一模一样的形式，也要有这些规则，必须在周日设立一位牧师讲道，必须有唱诗班和指挥们，有长老，还要设立不同的人来管理不同的款项，最终教会就成了人来管理的组织。在我自己的生活中，我是我家里的头。上帝让我成为家里的头，并不是说我要凌驾于上帝之上，因为耶稣基督是我的头。他设立我来掌管我的全家。我带领我的妻子，她也跟随我。在我外出工作的时候，我妻子就是家里的执事来照管孩子们。我偶尔也会与主放在我生命中的其他人有团契交流。但是我们并不把自己叫做有组织的教会。我们不是每周日都聚集在一起，也没有这些形式的东西，而是出于我们内心的爱，我们有时间的时候就会聚集在一起我们会一起团契交流、分享、彼此帮助。当我们遇到其他人需要帮助时，我们也会出手相助，我们会帮助那些需要帮助的人。与律法无关，与规则无关，也与是否符合圣经没有关系，并不是一定要用圣经的命令来约束，而是完全由圣灵来引导，我们并没有人宣称自己是牧师或是领袖或是长老或是执事，因为在主里我们都是弟兄。如果你期待加入真正的教会，那我鼓励你去寻求没有实体的属灵教会。他们在真理和圣灵里聚会，他们在真理和灵里敬拜上帝，他们在主里彼此谦卑。
当我们是在被圣灵引导的时候，他引领我们，他会把使人与主和好的职分赐给我们。他会给我们每一个人属灵的恩赐，他也会给我们每个人需要做好的职责，如果你想加入真正的教会，你需要先求他的国和他的义。而不是加入一个骗人的假教会，行为模式如同商业机构，一直引用圣经的经文和使徒保罗的话来为自己的荒诞不经来辩护。愿耶稣的恩典与你同在。
The true church worships God in Spirit and in truth not in bricks and mortar. While churches and men of this world are striving to have a good name in their organization such as Tacher, Elder, Leader or Head Pastor, the SPIRITUAL Church of God does not strive to take on such names, but in humility and righteousness consider themselves brothers and sisters. In this video I try my best to explain what this means practically.

Praise Jesus today. The Lord Jesus is guiding his little flock, his true church. They are like sheep and they know the voice of their teacher and their leader. There are two different churches that exist. The church that is the world. And then there is the church that is of the spirit. The church of the world has many different churches. They are full in the cities, they're on all the street corners. People go to these churches, like they go to bars, and the more cool the churches in the world, the better sounding the music, the better dressed the people are, and the more money the church has, the more people will be drawn into that organization. Churches today, if they succeed, they have to do really well in the world. Otherwise who is gonna go to a church in the world That's not cool, that the pastor is not dressed well, That doesn't have money. If something people or gets their attention, it has to compete with the rest of the world.
And that is why churches are in competition. They want to be every bit is cool as a rock show, every bit is cool as a bar, Every bit is cool is a celebrity. The churches that are doing well in the world look in dress exactly like the world. But those churches have nothing to do with the kingdom of God. But I'll tell you what those churches do have. they do have a hierarchy. They have elders, they have deacons, they have bishops, pastors, teachers, they have missionaries. All of the things that the apostle Paul speaks of in first and second, Timothy, Titus, everything that it speaks about in acts, they try to emulate those churches. And they think that because they're biblical, because they follow the bible that these different offices that they give their members and their pastors. They think that they have an inheritance in God's kingdom. But the the spirit that we follow the spirit of God is spiritual, and his body is spiritual. And being part of his true church is being part of a spiritual church. It is not bricks and mortar. It's not about attending somewhere on Sunday or on Saturday.
So if you're looking for the true offices of the church, what it really means to be an elder or a deacon or a leader in the church. don't be looking for those physical offices or those physical positions that you can get by becoming educated, going to school graduating with a degree in theology, and then becoming ordained. Because you can do that in the world. I was a licensed minister, and I'm also educated, I have my college education. I can be a professional minister, and I know how to run a church. I've been part of the diaconate board.
I know how the ministry in church operates. I know how to play church, I know how to speak their language, but I also know how to be a hypocrite and make everyone think that I'm right with God. and Such people, as I was, are the leaders in the worldly church. They are duping you, they're taking your money saying that you need to give tithe the God. They are deceiving your soul, lying to you, saying that you need to be part of their membership that they will guide you into heaven, that you need them in order to get you to heaven, because they say they will come along side of you and pick you up and their pastor will give you the loyal word of God, and their members will hold you accountable. And if you leave them, you'll be broken off. As a branch is broken off of a tree and you just won't exist. All of these are lies from Satan, because these are the ways that Satan fleeces the flock and manipulates you to get you into a false body.
What is the true body of Christ? The apostle, Paul, and the holy disciples, they lay out specifically some rules of their church. But the thing was that was specific to their time. and What we've seen in the modern day time is people become very legalistic about the teachings of Paul. Paul said things like he does not allow women to be teachers or overseers in his church. But during his time, a lot of women were gossiping, they were divorced, or their husbands had passed away at a young age. It made those young women into busy bodies running around gossiping, saying things they shouldn't. So the rules that Paul was putting in place and the deacons he was setting up, were specific for that time.
But if we try to impose those same rules today and act as though we're biblical and doing things the biblical way by implanting the words of Paul onto our life today, then maybe we're just following Paul's rules and rules of men, acting as if they were the precepts of God. Jesus did not call us to follow after Paul or Timothy or Titus. He called us to follow him, led by his holy spirit.
If we want to know what it means to be part of the body of Christ, then we have to get into Jesus and start asking him, what we need to do. It is true that there are teachers, there are elders, there are deacons, but they're not the sorts that you see in church.
In fact, Jesus said, don't let any of you be called a wise teacher or leader, because one is your teacher and your father. He who is the Christ. That doesn't mean that I can't call myself a dad because I have children. That doesn't mean I cannot be a schoolteacher or share my experience of what Jesus is given me with you. But I by no means can be the holy spirit for you. and A lot of pastors wanna be just that. they wanna be the holy spirit who is guiding you and leading you. And that is heresy. The churches that set themselves up in the position of Moses, in the position of God are stealing away genuine faith from you. If you submit yourself under their ungodly authority, you'll be sitting at the feet of Satan.
Maybe at first, it starts out as something that you're not even sure of. Maybe you think in order to be right with God, I need to join a church. You feel guilty because you're not part of a church, so it starts out in innocence that you're wanting to do what it's right. But you get into this church and you notice man, the pastors doing some things that are ungodly. The way he talks to women is scandalous. There's people committing adultery and running all kinds of affairs behind closed doors in the church, but, "man, I think God wants me in the church." So by your own good conscience, you get wrapped up with these people. And then that's when the devil starts lying to you and telling you it's okay to be a hypocrite. It's okay to have some sin in your life because after all church is like a hospital for sick people and you're sick, they're sick, God accepts your sin. And this is when Satan starts to put the seed of the false gospel into your heart, and he steals away genuine faith from you.
I wanna submit to you that the church is today have nothing to do with the apostle Paul was speaking of during his time. What Timothy knew to be the church. the church today has become a business and they operate like any other worldly organization.
But the churches in the early days in the first century were meeting in people's houses. If you go back and read through the epistles, you will notice that they met in individuals houses. They were breaking bread together, they were sharing what revelations they had from God and out of the love of their heart, They were sharing things with one another. People that were teachers they were not thinking that they're a high and mighty teacher that's educated at such and such a school. They were just sharing with people what the holy spirit had shared with them. And people that were elders in the church, were only elders because they were older than others, and they were helping younger people to learn such people that had walked with Jesus like peter. He wasn't lording his authority over others, telling people that he was the first pope and dressing all night, nice with white in a tall hat to appear Godly. He was humble, he was repenting of his own sin. And when he was filled with the holy spirit, he was walking daily with the lord. He was do miracles were worked through him because he was abiding with Jesus. He was holding Jesus his hand.
And in this early church, things emerged like such as deacons as problems started to arise. And these are not it's not a rule that we're following. Churches think that every church has to have a head pastor, a head worship arts leader, they have to have deacons who ...or they have to have people who deal with the money like Judas.
And then once we have all the elements and at least 120 people, then we're a church. That is legalistic, that is dead religion. where two people are, If the spirit of God is with them, they are the church. If I am alone and someone straps a chain to my neck and froze me into the sea to kill me. If I am right with Jesus in my heart, then I am a martyr and Jesus is still with me at the bottom of the ocean, And I am still at his church. It doesn't matter if no one else is with me, and we are his church. But I wanna read to you one situation that came up in Acts. This is Acts chapter six, and this is where deacons came from. Acts chapter six.
1Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Hellenists, because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution. 2Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, “It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. 3Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business; 4but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
Now, your guess is good as mine. If they did right in delegating these tasks, maybe they should have been more humble and themselves taken care of those people that were being neglected food. But maybe they did what was right. Maybe the leaders in that town knew that they could not take care of tables and delegate food out. The same time they were preaching gospel out on the streets or preaching in their homes or wherever they were. So that was very specific to the time they were in. And they met a need with these deacons or these people, these overseers to take care of one element of the people of their congregation of that church. But to set up this rule, every single church and say this needs to be a pattern. We have to set up a pastor preaches on Sunday.
Now we have to have worship arts leaders, elders, and all these different people taking care of all this different money. It ends up being an organization of men. in my own life. I am the leader of my house. God has enabled me to be the leader of my own family. That doesn't mean that I am above God, but the lord Jesus is my leader, but he has put me above my family. I lead my wife and she follows me. My wife, then in turn is as a deacon to my children when I go out working.
There are other people that I occasionally fellowship with, that the lord has also put in my life. We don't call ourselves and organized church. We don't get together every Sunday, nothing like that. But out of the love of our hearts, when we have time together, we fellowship together, we share and help on each other's needs. And when we come across other people that need help we give and we help the people and we meet the needs of people where we need to meet them. It's not about legalism, it's not about rules, it's not about being biblical or pulling out a chain of command out of the bible. But it is about being led by the holy spirit. None of us claim that we are a pastor or a leader or an elder or a deacon. But in the lord, we are all brothers. So if you are looking to be part of the true church, I encourage you to seek after the spiritual church that has no physical walls. They meet in spear and in truth and they worship the God that is in spirit and in truth, in the lord were to be humble before him.
As we are led by the holy spirit, he guides us, he gives us the ministry of reconciliation, he gives each of us spiritual gifts, he gives us duties to complete. If you want to be part of his true church, you need to seek first his kingdom in his righteousness, but don't be part of the false churches that are deceiving people, Acting like a business and pulling out all the scriptures and words of the apostle Paul to justify their own heresy. May the grace of Jesus be with you.
