The Lion Is In The Way

The Lion Is In The Way From our last discussion : “The Church Trimester 2: Implementing the Way – part two,” we explored how it wasn’t easy for The Way to reach all of us Christians.   In fact, it took almost 400 years of bloody persecution before we, around the world, could receive God’s plan, The Way, for the course our lives to follow.   God’s plan was to create a global ecclesia—a worldwide community of Christians joined together at the heart of Jesus Christ.   But when the “first batch” of Pentecostal disciples became “comfortable” in Jerusalem, it ignited an almost 400 year (A.D. 54 – A.D. 313) inextinguishable fire that would by no means surreptitiously spread the gospel. And this question was asked : So is it still not understood that persecutions, in varying degrees and forms, will strike us until we move back to The Way, and recognize and hear His Voice, thereby properly function in accordance to His pattern for success identifying w...

The Lion Is In The Way The Church Trimester 2: Implementing The Way Globally – part two From our last discussion: “The Church Trimester 2: Developing the Way – part one,” we examined how God took meticulous energy to develop our cognitive structures, that is, how we think and relate to one another.

Part One identified how Our Creator constructed the cognition of the Church.   This discussion, Part Two, involves how God put The Way into action, or implementation, so that His children—Christians—could apply it ...

The Lion Is In The Way From our last discussion (blog): “The Church Trimester 1: Preparing the Way,” we envisioned the physical formation of our Church Body through cultural, political, religious, philosophical and immediate preparations. These preparations marked the first trimester of our Church Body.   In the second trimester, God takes meticulous energy to develop our cognitive structures, that is, how we think and relate to one another. In Madam Patience Osei-Anyamesem’s “The Classroom Laboratory” (© 2004), a course she designed and instituted for training teachers, she defines cognition as The construction of intellect: how we learn something, how we keep (store) it in its original template (schemata), and how we implement what we’ve learned into our everyday lives to make it work well for us. Her Master, Our Creator, designed and instituted THE WAY for us via the cognitive conception of His Church Body, and placed its precepts (rules, or “how ...
