Dear Mr. Phillips,
Thank you for your honest and informative writings. I am writing on behalf of myself and my bible study friends. We are excited to see that the Lord is confirming what He has been teaching us over the last 7 yrs. with yours and Bro. Roach's Pathfinder teachings. We have also been led out of our churches to start a home type of fellowship among ourselves where we can continue to be fed my Him alone. But, this is very new to us and we have a lot of questions. Our main question to you is about other "kingdom teachers" who are teaching the same things that the Lord has revealed to us and through The Pathfinders, but they say that the Lord is establishing His government on the earth and therefore we need to learn what the structure of that government is and be ordained into it by the laying on of hands to promote us to a higher level of authority. This is where we feel a contradiction between knowing that we are called and ordained by God aside from man made church structure and the need to do things in the order that the Lord has set up for His body. These teachers call themselves apostles and prophets and us a lot of words like "networking". Have you dealt with this before? We would love to hear your insight into this matter of church government.

Dear Monica and friends from Pasadena,
The questions that you asked are indeed the hardest to answer because of the portion of truth in each one of them. As you are on your journey out from the bondage of religion there are many who want to put you back into any kind of bondage so that they will be able to take pride that you are dependent upon them for your trip out from and into what ever their form of bondage would be. Yes God's Kingdom is on this earth BUT right now you must know that YOU ARE THIS EARTH. The Kingdom of God is not meat nor drink but righteousness peace and joy in His Holy Spirit. The kingdom of God is where God is king. I am aware that you want God to be king within you and your lives and don't want to be led astray or away from Him being the one to direct your every aspect of this life.
As long as you see your self as a physical being you will be inclined to be led astray into works that you require yourself to do and be. You are physical but that is like saying that your shadow is really you and trying to live out of your shadow failing to perceive that you work in vain with the wrong part of you. If you want a hat on your shadow that will stay then you must put that hat upon who you really are. You are a spirit being With a body that is a shadow of the true one which will be like the body that Christ Jesus had at his resurrection and has.
When the church was being established there was a scripture that has to be understood as the basis for everything that is to follow, and yet so few today can grasp it or can relate to it and it's all importance.In Galatians 2;20 Because GOD put us in Christ in His walk upon this dimension and we were IN HIM when He was crucified we have got to know that;[I have been crucified with Christ; and it is NO LONGER I WHO LIVE, BUT CHRIST LIVES IN ME; AND THE LIFE WHICH I NOW LIVE IN FLESH I LIVE IN THE FAITH OF THE SON OF GOD, WHO LOVES ME AND GIVES HIMSELF UP FOR ME.( a more correct trans.)
Until we grasp that We are spirit beings and are the house of \GOD\ WITH CHRIST SITTING there at his side, all within you right now you won't be able to have a close relationship with Him like He desires. He may send a donkey or me or others into your way that will have words that will confirm where He is leading you. For right now as you have such a trying trip coming out from all that indoctrination of the religious system I would not get involved with any who aren't telling you to just hug up to God who is no longer out there but is right there inside of you wanting you to know His voice and desiring for you to be His body where He can be what He wants with your body. He has bought you with a price and He is responsible for dragging you more into Him. Just trust Him and His faith to take out of you that heart of stone and place within you a new heart that will be His government on your earth. A spirit-physical dimension where He and you are one as you bring peace between the two dimensions.
My recommendation at this time for you is to write to Preston Eby at P.O. Box 371240 El Paso TX. 79937 and ask for his series on [just what do you mean}
There will be no charge for this or any literature you order from any whom I might tell you of. Gary Sigler P.O. Box 26695 Winston-Salem NC 27114 where you can order:[ The reality of Righteousness] are great to reveal a greater God in your life.
Happy trails into Him and please keep me posted on your trip.
In God"s love yours
