I can speak from my experience of being a traditional Native Man that Has embraced and recieved Jesus Christ as Lord. It has always been this personal relationship with my Lord that I have longed for.
Having him “IN” me filling the empty part of my heart and making me whole is what I wanted. Having someone that truly understands my and loves me really makes
“THE” difference.
I see that a tremendous amount of the “CHRISTIAN CHURCH EXPERIENCE ” has actually been counter productive to this.
Much of “IT” is a soul crushing, unnecessary,
test brought on by religious confornists.
As a Native Man with a mind that knows right from wrong, much of the focus in Christianity
tested my values. I see that emphasis has been on a dominant European mindset. Propaganda might be a better word.
I want Jesus, but I don’t want to conform to Christan religion. I want relationship with him and my Father God, but not superficial rituals and a lifestyle that only mimic him.
“HAVING THE FORM OF GOD, BUT DENYING HIS POWER IS NOT FOR ME.”
I am “RELIGION FREE” now and my two way communication with God has never been more clear and honest. I am free now because Jesus has “SET ME FREE”. I no longer carry the bagage and need to make excuses for things that are just plain wrong!
This way I choose to live is for my own well being. So I can look in the mirror and respect what I see. I am the “LIGHT OF THE WORLD” to those who want who I have in my heart. My life calls out “YOU CAN BE SAVED, BORN AGAIN, WITHOUT THE NEED TO FOLLOW THE RELIGIOUS CROWD AND THE FORCED MARCH THROUGH “CHRISTIANITY”.
"THE place for you to grow in grace."
