The Church and the Rock

Matthew 16:13-19
13
When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”

14
They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

15
“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?”

16
Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

17
Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in heaven.
18
And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.
19
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven

I just wrote about this recently. I am certain that the understanding of this is holy that i share. But the religions of today weaponize these passages to suit themselves.

*The raised Son, the living Word; is the Church, just as the Rock it is built upon is the willnof the Father. The Church(temple), was destroyed and raised again in three days. The will of the Father is what that Church is foundes upon. Clear as the day.*

There is no man made religion that can encompass the will of the Father by His Truth. *We are to die of ourselves so that the Truth may live and act through us by the kingdom. Clear as day.*

Any house that stands apart, will remain apart. And individuals who bear witness of the truth that lives in them, are themselves within the truth. They who testify to it here, will have the truth testify for them in heaven. *Those who would separate themselves; believing they are favored above other believers, will not be recognized, as we are all parts of the same body which Christ is the head.*

The Spirit of Truth acts through those who deny themselves in recognition of it, and by recognizing the truth, they themselves are recognized by it. And the truth only does the Father's will. *So the body of the temple are the acts of the Father's will. As no one can come to the Father except through His Truth, Amen.*

And those who ask, receive, because those who ask, only ask because they are asking by the truth that speaks through them, and what they receive is in the form of fruits and gifts of the Spirit of that Truth. Fruits and gifts of the Spirit that comes by the kingdom; that is the same in heaven, as it is on earth. *So what is loosed is holiness and what is bound is wickedness, and both because it is by the Authority of the living Word, which only does His Father's will.*

Do not be deceived. I write this in sincere concern for those who define themselves by a house built of deceit. *Pray to the Father, mention me, have the Holy Spirit speak to your heart and mind as witness to this understanding which honors the Father through His Son.*
