Psamm 75:4-7
Amplifed….

“I said to the arrogant, do not boast; and to the wicked, “do not lift up the horn (of self-
Glorification) .

Do not lift up your (defiant and aggressive) horn on high, do not speak with a stiff neck.”

For not from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert comes exaltation.

But God is the judge; he puts down one and lifts up another.

*** SO MANY ARROGANTLY SEEKING POWER, PRESTIGE , INFLUENCE, AND RICHES. ***

*** THEY LIFT UP ALL THEIR AQUIRED INFLUENCE AMONG MAN FOR SELF-
GLORIFICATION. ***

*** DEFIANTLY AND AGGRESSIVELY, THEY SPEAK WITH A STIFF NECK. ***

*** YOUR EXALTATION BROTHERS AND SISTERS COMES FROM THE LORD
ONLY. ***

*** GOD IS THE JUDGE, HE LOOKS ON ALL YOUR SITUATION AND YOUR HEART TO BRING ABOUT HIS RIGHTEOUS JUDGEMEMT. ***

*** IN HIS SOVEREIGNTY HE PUTS ONE DOWN AND LIFTS UP ANOTHER. ***

*** KEEP THINGS RIGHT WITH HIM AND HE WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR YOU. ***

*** HIS FAVOR WILL LIFT YOU UP ABOVE YOUR ENEMIES. ***

Over the years in living my life for the cause of Jesus Christ I have developed a yearning desire. I want to see people free from religious bondage and man made divisions in the “BODY OF CHRIST”.

A place in life free of the “COMANDMENTS OF MEN”, THE TRADITIONS OF MEN”, and the
“DOCTRINES OF DEMONS “. A state of being where anything is possible through Jesus Christ. Where his teaching is honored and the Holy Spirit flows with power in everyone.

We can have this if we choose to do so. It comes with loving God and following the teaching of Christ. His kingdom works for us when we stay connected to the “VINE”. We are the “BRANCHES” he is the “VINE” and father God is the one who tends the pruning
and watering and fertilizing and care of his much loved “Vine”.

“IN CHRIST FELLOWSHIP” is for everyone who wants to be vitality connected to the life source of the “VINE”. This goes beyond denominations, local church congregations, personalities, and organized Christion religion as it is commonly known to be.

This “WEB ” site is a good place to stay updated and informed on important teachings from Jesus (THE VINE). Your bible is your resource guide. Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth. Father God does the pruning to bring about healthy growth.

“I WANT YOU TO PROSPER AND BE IN HEALTH AS YOUR SOUL PROSPERS”.

“TRADITIONAL WAYS” has many different meanings depending on your race, tribe, nationality. It’s drawing power is that of getting back to your roots or when your people were stronger, better off.

It seems that many want to reach into the past to find their future. For Indigenous Peoples ln America this really is compelling.
Think about it, we were rulers of our own destiny under the Great Spirit. We were not prisoners of war or conquered people as in reality we are today.

A return to the old way is popular among many Native People. We want to feel good about ourselves and find our purpose. Why has organized Christianity made it so hard on us? Did not Jesus die on the cross for Native People?

JESUS DID DIE ON THE CROSS FOR US. GOD HAS A GREAT LOVE FOR WINTU, WIYOT, YOROK, PIT RIVER, AND ALL OTHER INDIGENOUS TRIBES AND BANDS.

We are second to none in his eyes as he does not favor one people group over another. The big problem is that men masquerading in the guise of Christ have treated us horribly.

NOW…….back to what I know about Jesus and what he came to do. HE HAS REVEALED WHO GOD IS. His character and what he wants to accomplish in and through man kind. Jesus has set us right with Father God.

For me personally…….he lives in me! I here his voice speaking within me, showing me the way. I talk to him as my friend who I respect and trust with my life. Nothing is impossible for me. He upholds me and makes my path straight. I AM MORE OF A COMPLETE NATIVE MAN NOW THAN I EVER WAS AS A TRADITIONAL.

Last night my mom Genevieve Seely was honored by the City of Shasta Lake, Ca. She is a 93 year old Wiyot woman born on the Table Bluff Rancheria in California. Some of her Native students requested it as she was a public school teacher for 50 plus years.

It was a great night for our family to see mom recognized for her many achievements. A Native spiritual leader of the Wintu said a prayer in his Native language to open the event.

There was a slide show of some of her life and some personal words mom wrote that were read by one of her former students. One thing that stood out to me was her thoughts and experience with Christianity.

She said her mom sent her to sunday school one time. She felt so out of place by the way people were dressed and did not understand why “Indians” were thought of as inferior with pagan beliefs. My mom has been personally hurt by the Christian doctrines of
“DISCOVERY”, “MANEFESTDESTINY “, and
“COLONIALISM “.

My mom’s mother was murdered by a white man who beat her to death. Her mom’s sister had 4 murders in her family with no one brought to justice.

It is hard to spread the gosple of the love of Jesus Christ in your family when your dealing with deep hurt and resentment. I myself am discriminated against because I love Jesus.

Are all you believers good with all that? Are you good with the way Jesus has been portrayed to Native People? Are you all right with how Indigenous People have been treated in America? Let me just say this…..i love Jesus Christ and I still remain hopeful for his people to represent him in a good way.

Galatians 5:1
Amplified….

It was for this freedom that Christ set us free
(completely liberating us); therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery (which you once removed).

Galations 5:15
Amplified….

But if you bite and devour one another (in
Bickering and strife), watch out that you (along with your entire fellowship) are not consumed by one another.

*** PAUL IS ADDRESSING LEGALISM IN THE BODY OF CHRIST, THE CHURCH. ***

*** SPECIFICALLY THE LAW OF MOSES BEING FORCED ON THOSE WHO ARE FOLLOWING CHRIST. ***

*** LEGALISM IN TODAYS CHURCH CAN TAKE MANY FORMS BUT IT’S CHARACTERISTICS ARE THE SAME. ***

*** A LOT OF NIT PICKING AND WAY TO MANY DOES AND DON’TS. ***

*** SUPERFICIAL RULES EXALTED THAT CROWD OUT WHAT JESUS WANTS US TO FOCUS ON. ***

*** PEOPLE WHO ARE UNDER LEGAISTIC TEACHING BITE AND DEVOUR OTHER BELIEVERS. ***

*** THEY ARE ALWAYS A SOURCE OF BICKERING AND STRIFE. ***

****************************************

*** THERE IS ABUNDANT FREEDOM IN CHRIST. ***

*** WHEN YOU FIND IT YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART YOU WILL NEVER GO BACK TO RELIGIOUS BONDAGE OF ANY KIND. ***

*** STAND FIRM IN ALL HIS WONDERFUL FREEDOM GIVEN TO YOU. ***

*** HAVE YOU FOUND THIS FREEDOM IN CHRIST I AM TALKING ABOUT? ***

*** ONLY YOU CAN ANSWER THIS QUESTION……ARE YOU FREE OR IN RELIGIOUS BONDAGE OF SOME KIND?

Psalm 41:11,12
Amplifed….

By this I know that you favor, and delight in me, because my enemy does not shout in triumph over me.

As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and
You set me in your presence forever.

*** SOMETHING WE SAY AROUND OUR HOUSE…..”WE DON’T MEAN NO HARM”. ***

*** WE ARE TO BE WISE AS SERPENTS AND HARMLESS AS DOVES. ***

*** GOD UPHOLDS THE MAN OF INTEGRITY
AND SETS HIM IN HIS PRESENCE. ***

*** NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST YOU SHALL PROSPER AND EVERY TONGUE THAT RISES AGAINST YOU IN JUDGEMENT YOU SHALL CONDEMN, AND OUR VINDICATION COMES FROM THE LORD. ***

*** MAN OF GOD, JUST KEEP YOUR HEART RIGHT WITH GOD, AND DO GOOD. THE LORD WILL FIGHT FOR YOU! ***

Ephesians 3:9-11
Amplifed….

And to make plain (to everyone) the plan of the mystery (regarding the uniting of believing Jews and Gentiles into one body) which (until now) was kept hidden through the ages in (the mind of) God who created all things.

So now through the church the multifaceted
wisdom of God (in all its countless aspects)
Might now be made known (revealing the mystery) to the (angelic) rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.

This is in accordance with (the terms of) the eternal purpose which he carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord,

*** PAUL AND US ARE TO BE MAKING IT CLEAR TO EVERYONE THAT JEWISH PEOPLE AND NON-JEWISH PEOPLE ARE ONE PEOPLE, ONE BODY, ONE
CHURCH. ***

*** THAT MEANS ALL HUMANITY ARE WELCOMED BY GOD AND ARE ONE, UNITED IN CHRIST. ***

*** WE AS THE CHURCH, ARE TEACHING ANGELS AND PRINCIPALITIES THE SAME THING AS THIS IS THE PURPOSE OF JESUS CHRIST. ***

*** CHRIST JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO PEACE ON EARTH AND GOODWILL FOR ALL MANKIND. ***

*** HE HAS TORN DOWN THE MIDDLE WALL OF SEPARATION BETWEEN ALL PEOPLE ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH. ***

*** THERE IS NO WAY THAT ANY CHRISTIAN SHOULD BE ADVOCATING RACISM, PREJUDICE, DISCRIMINATION, INJUSTICE, SEGREGATION, GENOCIDE, CIVIL WAR, OR ANY THING CAUSING SEPRATIONS IN HUMANITY. ***

One of the greatest safeguards in your life, and for all society is the ability to think things through. Your mind was given to you by God to use for good, noble, healthy purposes.

The sooner you gain a healthy view and
self-awareness the better. This comes from knowing the Christ in you and your purpose in the “PLAN”.

My book, “LIVING THE TRUTH WITH GOD AND YOURSELF” brings this vital aspect of kingdom living out with clarity. It takes guts to stand on your own two feet, rather than going along with the crowd.

Your anointing and significance shines brighter when you need God to help you stand! When you confront the religious crowd in your stand for Christ is when God shows his pleasure.

Father God needs to change organized Christianity in America desperately! Read the letter in Revelations to the church of Laodicea, with an eye on America Christianity and think about it.

Paul was the safeguard for the spread of the gospel to all nations on earth.

Galatians 2:11-18

Paul had to stop blatant hypocrisy by the Apostle Peter because he was “CAVING”
to religious pressure from uppity up men!

We would not have the pure teaching of Christ for us today if he had not made the stand! Everyone was “FLOWING” with Peter twisting the truth like a pretzel until Paul called him out in front of everyone!

We need real men in this hour we are in. The time of “MAN PLEASING CHRISTIANITY ” is
In it’s death throws. I can hear the ONE WITH THE SHARP TWO-EDGED SWORD SAYING….

“YOU HAVE A LITTLE POWER, HAVE KEPT MY WORD, AND HAVE NOT DENIED MY NAME…….BEHOLD I SET BEFORE YOU AN OPEN DOOR THAT NO MAN CAN SHUT”!!!

Galatians 3:25
Amplifed….

But now that faith has come, we are no longer (the control and authority of) a tutor and disciplinarian.

Galations 4:12
Amplifed….

Believers, I beg you, become as I am (free from the bondage of Jewish ritualism and ordinances), for I have become as you are
(a gentile). You did me no wrong (when I came to you; do not do it now).

*** THIS IS THE “NEW COVENANT ” SPELLED OUT FOR US BY THE APOSTLE PAUL. ***

*** “IN CHRIST”, HAVING FAITH IN ALL THAT FATHER GOD HAS DONE THROUGH HIM, WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER OUR “OLD COVENANT “. ***

*** JEWISH BELIEVERS NO LONGER MUST FOLLOW JEWISH RITUALISM AND ORDINANCES. ***

*** NON-JEWISH BELIEVERS ARE FREE FROM ANY CONSTRAINTS OF THEIR RELIGIONS AND BELIEFS BEFORE BECOMING “IN CHRIST”. ***

*** PAUL, A JEWISH MAN OF THE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN PUT IT THIS WAY SPEAKING TO THE NON-JEWISH BELIEVERS…..”BECOME LIKE ME, FREE FROM THE BONDAGE OF JEWISH RITUALISM FOR I HAVE BECOME A NON-JEWISH PERSON LIKE YOU. ***

*** THIS IS HOW CHRIST HAS MADE PEACE
BETWEEN ALL NATIONS OF PEOPLE. HE HAS TORN DOWN THE MIDDLE WALL OF SEPARATION BETWEEN US, MAKING US ONE PEOPLE. ***

*** “IN CHRIST THE HOSTILITY BETWEEN NATIONS HAS BEEN CANCELED OUT. ***

*** THE SOONER EVERYONE WRAPS THEIR HEAD AROUND THAT THE BETTER. ***

Colossians 4:17
Amplifed….

And say to Archippus, “see to it that you fulfill (carefully the duties of) the ministry which you have received in the Lord.”

*** IN MY BIBLE I WROTE MY NAME AND HIGHLIGHTED IT UNDER ARCHIPPUS. ***

*** I AM REMINDED THAT PAUL IS SPEAKING TO ME JUST LIKE HE DID TO ARCHIPPUS. ***

*** HOW MANY ARE FULFILLING THEIR MINISTRY DUTIES THEY HAVE RECIEVED FROM THE LORD? ***

*** I GUESS ARCHIPPUS NEED A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT BY WAY OF REMINDER
TO ACTIVATE AND DO HIS MINISTRY. ***

*** EVERBODY IS TO BE INVOLVED IN FULFILLING CAREFULLY THE DUTIES OF THE MINISTRY YOU HAVE RECIEVED IN THE LORD. ***

*** ATTENDING CHURCH SERVICES AND GIVING 10% OF YOUR INCOME IS NOT WHAT I OR PAUL OR GOD IS TALKING ABOUT
HERE. ***

*** JESUS GAVE US…..APOSTLES, PROPHETS, EVANGELISTS, PASTORS, AND TEACHERS ….

Ephesians 4:12
Amplifed….

(And he did this) to fully equip and perfect the saints (God’s people) for works of service, to build up the body of Christ (the
Church);

*** ARE YOU INVOLVED IN WORKS OF SERVICE IN THE LORD? ***

*** ARE YOU BECOMING MATURE IN THE LORD? ***

*** ARE YOU BUILDING UP THE BODY OF CHRIST? ***

*** “IN CHRIST” THERE ARE NO SPECTATORS. ***

*** EVERYONE IS TO BE INVOLVED. ***

*** ONLY IN “ORGANIZED” RELIGIOUS CIRCLES IS IT PRESENTED AS A SPECTATOR EVENT. ***

*** I ENCOURAGE YOU TO SEEK FROM THE LORD YOUR PURPOSE AND GIFT “IN
CHRIST”. ***

*** FULFILL CAREFULLY YOUR DUTIES OF MINISTRY YOU HAVE RECIEVED IN THE LORD. ***
