On gathering together unto the Lord in simplicity

So, I think the first step is, try to help these brothers and sisters to be human. Don’t try to make them spiritual, in other words, they have tried. It’s man-made spirituality, it’s not real, but the poison is still there, because they think if you don’t do these ‘things’ you are not spiritual. The poison is still there.

So, unless by the grace of God, they are willing to get rid of all these concepts…you really need to get rid of all these concepts and thank God that you can get your being. That’s where the deliverance comes. 

Then, on there, you can base, gradually, instead of centered upon a person or a teaching, you can come together and just center on Christ and encourage each other in the Lord and gradually you can be healed.

So, if the Lord has really given you a burden, I do believe that the Lord will use you to help some of them. Humanly speaking or looking back into history, probably a great many will be just forever wrecked. It’s very sad, it’s very, very sad. Ask the Lord to really clear you completely from the past. I’m afraid the past: you’ve come out of it, but probably it hasn’t come out of you completely. You really need to ask the Lord to let everything in the past really come out of you. 

So, when you come together and seek the Lord it will not be trying to return to: ‘the good old days’ as it were. Don’t have that kind of outset, it will be impossible and it should not be. I personally feel that when you come together, be as simple as possible. Don’t try to aim high. Just be natural as the Lord enables you and just come together. Love the Lord together and love one another and try to be human and gradually your human faculties can be restored.
