Haven of Grace…NO LEAVEN ALLOWED!

Before we get serious again, hope you get a kick out of this...

On a more serious note:
Later, I plan to post more comments regarding the rest of the introduction of “Meetings in his kingdom”. For now, I want to say something else.

I certainly do not claim expertise in my review of the Mihk book of Mike Peters. I hope some of what I share proves to be helpful to others for understanding or discerning what is behind the curtains in Mike’s little kingdom wrought with legalistic control measures (he is quite a smith in this regard). It is my desire and my request to have those of you with other insight feel free to express your thoughts here for others in the public to see without the onslaught of Mike‘s wolves sent out to make false statements about and bring distracting attacks on those who make comments on this blog. You are safe here as far as that goes, for I will not permit their assaults to post. If they speak reasonably and honestly --as appraised by the discernment God grants to me or my multitude of counselors in Christ-- then we may permit this only. Legalistic liars have ample opportunity, as they have proven in places where it is “documented”, to express their character to the world in other venues, so they don’t need my blog for us to be “fair” to them. For to me “my blog” is not my own, for Christ owns me, my blog, and all that He has put in my stewardship for His glory and purposes. I will not permit the yeast or leaven of Mike Peters' cult or any other graceless cult on this blog, except to expose them for what they really are. This blog is set apart for God’s Liberty, Truth, Grace, and Glory. Therefore, one reason (certainly not the only) for this blog is to give others --from many locations here and around the world-- another public place to share the truth of what they know or have experienced regarding Mike Peters and the trouble he has inflicted on individuals and families. And also for those people to have a bit of fellowship where we are “by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God”.

This is not done in secrecy but this is done here in an atmosphere of grace and understanding for what individuals or their families have been through. For that matter, anyone may post anonymously if they think this is wise. It will still minister to some others and I personally believe that God may have some of you do this for a season. Yet, when the time is right and God has strengthened you--it is true that real names will promote (through grace) a greater sense of believability in the hearts and minds of those who are on the edge of going one way or the other in their temptations to legalistic “ideology” as opposed to seeing the freeing “Truth of the Gospel of Grace in Christ Jesus” for His Church.

This Scripture will apply here:
2 Cor. 1:3-7
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ. Now if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation.”

The “any trouble” in that passage could be from that which Mike Peters has produced and this is spoken of in this passage of Scripture also:

Gal 5:7-10
“You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you. A little leaven leavens the whole lump. I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is.”

God has been judging --in various ways-- Mike Peters and those who willingly feed on and enforce this man's leaven. This is justice for those who have endured much trouble in this life from his influence. As Hosea has said of another matter: “For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind”. Mike has sown his “wind of doctrine” which has tossed many innocent people around, but it has come back on Him with a force founded on the Power of our God’s Grace in Jesus Christ! Legalism crumbles at the Cross of Christ as His resurrected Life can not be imitated through strict conformance to codes and rules brought on through cunning but graceless interpretation of the Holy Scriptures. Mike is smart with the Scriptures, carnally speaking, so many unknowing believers fall for his craftiness with the word of God. The same can be said for ANY other man centered religion that neglects the WONDER WORKING POWER of Grace and Truth that sets men free, cleanses them, keeps them from falling, and conforms them to Christ's image by the work of the Holy Spirit of God.

In the case of Mike’s group, he is their “Un-holy spirit” which brings condemnation to enforce control rather than Grace and freeing Truth which is found only in the Holy Spirit. As many of you know, people with Mike have yet to experience the genuine and beautiful work of the Holy Spirit to give grace in our times of need. It is a pitiful existence in there as they rely on a mere mentally twisted man as their "un-comforter". Talk about YUK!

“Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake. For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” (2 Cor 4:1-6)

As said earlier, here is an opportunity for us to be “by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God”.

Speak the truth here according to the love you have in your hearts for those who are misled or those who are hurting because of the trouble produced by Mike Peters or other false leaders in a place of dictatorship where their “persuasion does not come from Him who calls you”.

Enough for one post. I look forward to sharing more on the intro to Mihk soon. Please comment below as you are at liberty here. Your comments can be removed by you if you choose to later, as long as you don’t use an anonymous name. At your request, I will personally remove any anonymous comments if you choose to do so later.

If you wish to intrude with “another spirit” here you will not be welcome. Otherwise, let us follow this Scripture properly for “Where the Spirit of the Lord is there IS LIBERTY”.

God Bless you with Grace from Jesus our Savior!
