Heart of Faith: Epilogue

Epilogue

Nothing precludes bringing your heart of faith into your church. You are the one to decide if God calls you out of, or into, or alongside, any existing institution. We should hope this teaching is not divisive in the sense of fracturing any organization, or creating sectarian tensions within it. Perhaps you realize that any such thing tends to negate the teaching in the first place. Yet, by the same token, you realize that nothing prevents you building your own new faith group around this teaching.

At a bare minimum, this teaching will demand a new consciousness of religion. Again, religion is the human response to the moral imperatives in your heart. God gave us a mind to organize and implement the demands of faith.

Heart-led faith is your direct connection to a parallel universe, as it were. Within that universe, you should be aware that everything is entirely voluntary, dynamic and alive. People become leaders simply because others follow, but a heart-led faith would never result in following anyone too closely. It’s rather like sheep in a flock keeping line-of-sight contact with whomever serves as the shepherd. In heart-led faith, you are likely to follow different shepherds at different times for different reasons.

In that alternate universe, the character of Christ is the only rule. No human is permitted to define that for you, nor you for them. When your heart senses His Presence in another, you hang out together and travel along that invisible path in fellowship. You owe all to Christ, and thus His love is the only thing you owe to anyone else. There are lots of people who live this way and simply call it something else, so keep your heart-eyes open.

A genuine heart-led communion doesn’t form on this plane of existence; it simply manifests here in the burning bush of that moment. The only thing consumed by the holy fire is your sin. The only objective is your continued journey while you remain in this fallen realm.
