some links do not work. More new posts are here: http://preparinghisway.blogspot.com/   We also post often on FaceBook Some leave church because they are bitter. Some leave because of sin. Some leave because they finally wake up and see the emptiness or the phony showmanship. Some just grow weary and leave. There are many reasons, but our hope is that we are speaking to those of you who are at some stage of what we and others have been through and your hearts desire is to follow Jesus...   like you did at the first.    Why this website? To help you find God again at home with no hired pastor, choir, "service", pulpit, or offering plate.  Our message then is: 1. to point out how the church world is in great apostasy 2. To compare modern church practices with what the church of scripture did and said as they obeyed the teachings of Jesus.   3. To point God's people away from traditions of men and back to the scriptures. 4. To help us believe and do what the church of scripture did.  See this shocking list of common traditions passed off as Christian. In order to understand what the church WAS, we must filter out the leaven, traditions, and worldly thinking that has blurred, obfuscated, and obscured what the House of the Lord is.  To restore us to what was before, we must understand what this leaven is that defiled what we thought was Christian.       We love God, love His people, and love the church which is the body of Christ and have forsaken secular work in order to serve the Lord by serving His people. ONLY ONE Covenant   Ours is better than the Old and all others. It is an amazing, wonderful, superior, and eternal covenant. It does FOR us what NO OTHER COVENANT has or can do. Do you know what it freely gives us?       Tithing is NOT New Testament  Did you notice that a nice emotion-moving song service is a great way to prepare for the offering plate to be passed? Have you ever questioned why the songs THEN the plate is passed?      Where in scripture did the apostles or Jesus ordain the "order of service" commonly employed in the church?     -No dear one, it is NOWHERE in scripture.      However, it has become institutionalized psychological manipulation and the typical congregant (like us) dutifully play their role.   Tithing is a false doctrine, easily dis-proved once you see the truth.  None of the apostles of Jesus ever told any church or saint to tithe,  none of them reminded others to or testified of paying 10% to anyone or God.  Tithing Revisited  Why Jesus never tithed. Biblical tithes were always ag products, never money.   The Simple Truth on Tithing  Honest answers     Withhold the unscriptural tithes, salary, or church paycheck and you will soon find if they are really serving God.   Rory's Radio Interview with Georgeann Hughes "The Byte Show" 6-27-10

Reasons for judgment upon the church-USA.     Christians and Politics        Does our country's future depend on right politics?                                  the 501c3 Patriotic Church  Is your church 501c3 registered?                                   WHY judgment?             The USA is falling.   a MUST READ! it begins at the house of God when the church departs from the Way of the Lord...It includes open borders, Obamacare, and more.   The divorce rate in American Christianity is equal to non-Christians, secret abortions and the curse of out-of-wedlock birth is also common in the church. Christian men struggle with porn addiction, rich preachers are an abomination to God and contrary to His Word, the average Christian spends more time with the television, sports, and movies than they do with God and His Word. Most Christians today do not even speak Gods' Word, and the desire for comforts and material GAIN take precedence in the lives of most church goers. Judgment is here now and the typical Christian goes shopping and looks for a dubious rapture to avoid hard times and persecution. .

sickness, infirmity, afflictions, broken relationships, debt, enemies, "accidents", lack, sick children, skin disease, cancer, troubled mind, torments, depression, barrenness, tendency to miscarry or related female problems, breast cancer, bone problems.......                                                                          The Curse of the Lord  was put upon the world, a nation, a state, a city, a family, and an individual that errs from the way of the Lord. Included is sickness, broken relationships, "accidents", personal enemies, debt, loss, afflictions, even aliens coming across the borders. The curse was created to correct and chasten, and turn us back to blessing, health, peace, and deliverance.      Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow,       an undeserved curse will not land on its intended victim. -Prov. 26:2 2 Ps. 39:10 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thy hand.                (11 When thou with rebukes do correct man for iniquity Did you ever wonder why so many Christians are sick with cancer and other disease?       We did and God tells us why.  Why Would God Do THAT to Me?    What does the Word of God say? Does The Curse Alight On Christians? Can our sin cause our children to suffer? How God deals with our sin.  Debt and the Curse         Meds and the Curse God HATES Grumbling and Complaining     Do the kids, neighbors, or politicians, provoke bad thoughts?  Murmuring     Grumbling, complaining, and grudges.  A connection to ailments? Hate Crimes   "Who detests his brother is a murderer and no murderer hath eternal life..."  There is no room for grudges, unforgiveness, and malice in the heart of a Christian. If Christians are not under any curses, then why are Christians suffering from the very things God said were part of the curse?

"The Ministry" is not the Bible-College certified, hired and titled pastor-administrator-CEO position.  Many find a "church" but fail to find God in the hopelessly fragmented, sectarian, competitive, church world as boxed and packaged church "services" are served behind walls and in comfortable pews  What is the fruit of the institutionalized, titled and clergy-dominated church?  Denominated Christians are conditioned to follow pastor(s) and/or priests, rather than God. Most Christians never find their personal calling and place in God's Kingdom.  church routines and hired pastor's sermon replace study and listening to the voice of the Lord. No signs, no real faith, and no real trust in God's Word. The local church has become a safe-haven for demons who are not discerned, exposed, or cast out. Thus God's people are sick, unhealed, and plagued.  Pastors have not one verse giving them sole-authority in an assembly and most are corrupted by the position and lucre they receive for doing so

a prophetic Word we received Jan. 2008: "Because my people have not used my blessings of abundance to meet the needs of their brethren,  they will learn to meet the needs of others from the little they have left. When they had much, they gave little,                                                                        and that into the hands of those who deceived them.                                     Now I will fill their world and their eyes with those in need                     and thus will they be purified of their greed."                                    Where are My Wings and Where is My Ark?  a powerful word for the spiritual man. excerpt: Where are my wings? Where is my ark? Are they not my Words, is it not my Covenant? for therein shall ye abide. Consume me, consume me, or I shall consume you.  I shall both consume and spew out, therefore be zealous and repent..... A Dream of  God Separating the Sheep    Which group is for you?
