Community

Social critters, us. Some of us will be in the wrong place just to be someplace.

What would it be like? Let's you and I think for a minute. What would it be like if that thing was permanently satisfied?

Do you mean finding the perfect community, realizing it, committing to it, being in it and of it?

"For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth."

We can find God the Spirit in and in the midst of the community of believers. We can find satan there, too. There is a perfect community where satan is not welcome and believers are. Seated in heavenly places.

We want the Spirit to invade our meetings. We "invoke" the presence of the Most High. We ask Jesus to manifest Himself. We live for a touch of the Heavenlies.

All the while, the veil is gone. He said, Draw nigh. He said, Come unto Me. He said, My son was dead, and now is alive. Bring shoes for his feet. Put a ring on his finger. My son turned off the well travelled road and came up the lane toward me...so I ran to meet him. This is what the Kingdom of God is like.

The perfect community where there is perfect satisfaction of every social need is right here. Seated in heavenly places.

What will it be like in human communities, and in communities of believers when everyone is satisfied before they arrive? I heard the teacher (Carl Koch) explain about the church as a camel parking lot where everyone who has been blessed brings their camel loaded with the excess of their blessing, to distribute to everyone else who comes. But he did not talk about the state of the camel leading believer. This believer comes to the meeting utterly satisfied by his community with God.

Thank you, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Thank you for Your Kingdom.
