As you mock the fact that I used the wrong word for "Know -No" and you hide behind a veil of being anonymous.<BR/>As I stated my sin was my own personal failure. If you participated in it then that was your own choice. I have nothing to hide but I fail to see how what you seem to want to "present" here would be a blessing to anyone. If you would like to personally communicate with me via email. pursuingtruth@nc.rr.com I would be happy to discuss whatever you would like.<BR/>You are not really interested in the truth but interested in trying to discredit me. Like I said you don't know what the truth is, and you know nothing about me. You obviously have an inflated opinion of yourself because you don't have to deal with the same things I do and must still have bitterness in your heart. If I have offended you I am truly sorry and have expressed this sorrow many times to those involved. Mt:6:15: "But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." 1Jn:4:20:" If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?" This blog is not about me but the teaching of Gods word and His prophetic message. If you want to take issue with what is being taught, then your opinions will be left up. This post is the truth as it is what happened and was written while I was pasturing Sonshine Farm.PursuingTruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09714893182234786346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10876487.post-3112393987797512802008-03-04T13:23:00.000-05:002008-03-04T13:23:00.000-05:00Lancelot, I am very happy to discuss the truth wit...Lancelot, I am very happy to discuss the truth with anyone that has a heart for truth and the love of Christ in their heart. I would remind you that the scripture teaches us that Satan is the accuser of the brethren. If your intent is to attack me as the messenger, then be careful as you may be found fighting against He that sent me. In that case decide if what is being taught is of God and according to Scripture. Rom:14:4: "Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand." Rom:11:29: "For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance."<BR/>I will not keep the truth of God under a bushel because of my own failures and I am well aware of what they are. You on the other hand have know idea what the truth is concerning Sonshine Farm. You only know what you have been told. You know nothing about me. <BR/> This is an open public forum for the seeking of Gods Kingdom and the truth of His word. Personal attacks are not of the Spirit, and will edify no one and will be deleted.PursuingTruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09714893182234786346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10876487.post-64702338277673737972008-03-02T19:20:00.000-05:002008-03-02T19:20:00.000-05:00"The sin that I committed was personal and had not..."The sin that I committed was personal and had nothing to do with anyone else."<BR/><BR/>Peter,<BR/>You brought this to a public forum. <BR/>Are you willing for the truth to be expressed here?Lancelothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18009493516591711038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10876487.post-42083835108925746232008-02-01T14:33:00.000-05:002008-02-01T14:33:00.000-05:00If you'd like, I can remind you how you condemned ...If you'd like, I can remind you how you condemned the church ..."pride (The down fall of all christians and ministries)" was an interesting thought, considering how strongly you deny the touch of pride within yourself. You also said "Christ loves his body it may not be what any person or "prophet" thinks but it should be,but is His." So Christ was promised a perfect and pure bride but will just have to settle for the harlot church, hmm?<BR/>You used this idea of the imperfect church in your warning, also your very stance against Peter and this blog is another condemnation of "the church", whether you want to recognize it or not. You have bypassed the stage where you would plead your case of condemnation for the teachings here, and skipped right to the verdict of "guilty". And now, without ever explaning your disagreements, you are leaving? Was is this, a drive by judgment?<BR/><BR/>I have already explained how you justify yourself. What part does light have to do with darkness? We both confess to see and know the light, and yet we do not agree between ourselves. I'm reading the same Bible you own, so what's the story? You insult and then deny wrongdoing. You accuse without real explanation. You disagree for no scripture-backed reason and you still think that you are of the light? I implore you to seek the real light, to seek after God and pray to be rid of any blindness that might plague you. If your position is right, there will be no change, but if perchance you are wrong, you will be saved from the spiritual darkness that has truly overcome the established church. Don't dismiss or forget the warnings to the seven churches in the book of Revelation. And don't overlook the messages within each letter to those who "overcome" the plights and worldly pitfalls succumbed to by those churches. That is scripture.

You seem to claim it is to set the record straight. <B>("This is not a hate note but a disagreement of what is represented at this site concerning the "farm".This was another problem of the "Farm" people could not disagree without being labeled divisive or rebellious. We can disagree and still serve Jesus.")</B><BR/>In case you did not know , what is written here was written approximately 30 years ago. It was taken directly from the brochure that we had written and used at "Sonshine Farm" There are no distortions. Your comment about not being allowed to disagree is also an error. I know in my heart as I stand before my Lord, I never felt that way about anyone but one exception, and that was a person that lived across the street from the farm. It was also not my decision alone to "Label" this person, but was a unanimous decision reached by the body of the "Elders." We are called as the body of Christ to be of one mind, Phil:1:27: "....stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;" Amos:3:3: "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?"<BR/>This is not a matter of one trying to lord it over another by insisting that one be forced into conformity, but a desire on all sides to seek the truth. If there is disagreement between brethren, one must not just bunker down in your pride but find the truth of the matter. If two have contradictory ideas they can not both have the truth, they could however both be wrong.<BR/>I know you think you know what went on back then but unfortunately you only know what you have been told. You really have no idea, but my Heavenly Father knows and He will be the judge. <BR/>I would like to ask again what your motive is that you may inquire of your own heart. Do you think you are going to stop me from teaching Gods word? That will never happen again, I must be about my Father's business. The truth of the matter is that you want to attack me because you have not yet forgiven me for the sin you think I committed against you. Rom:14:4: "Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand." Even if I had trespassed against you, Mt:6:15: "But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."<BR/>I don't need you approval, I only need Him that sent me. You quoted our Lord when he said "The Kingdom of God is within you" but He also prayed Mt:6:10: Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.<BR/>I am not called to teach those that are not hungry, but those that are hungry for more. 1Cor:3:2: I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.<BR/>If these things are not for you, may the Lord bless you; but be careful of making statements that these things are not Biblical without pointing out where they are not.PursuingTruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09714893182234786346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10876487.post-45343680511529003612008-01-30T15:57:00.000-05:002008-01-30T15:57:00.000-05:00Youner Bro., thanks again for your response.

I think that's pretty ironic by itself, but more fascinating and relevant is the parable that Matt 22:2 does introduce. Please take heed of this message.<BR/><BR/>Matt 22:2-14<BR/><BR/> "The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding feast for his son. The king invited some people to the feast. When the feast was ready, the king sent his servants to tell the people, but they refused to come.<BR/><BR/> "Then the king sent other servants, saying, 'Tell those who have been invited that my feast is ready. I have killed my best bulls and calves for the dinner, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.'<BR/><BR/> "But the people refused to listen to the servants and left to do other things. One went to work in his field, and another went to his business. Some of the other people grabbed the servants, beat them, and killed them. The king was furious and sent his army to kill the murderers and burn their city.<BR/><BR/> "After that, the king said to his servants, 'The wedding feast is ready. I invited those people, but they were not worthy to come. So go to the street corners and invite everyone you find to come to my feast.' So the servants went into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.<BR/><BR/> "When the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man who was not dressed for a wedding. The king said, 'Friend, how were you allowed to come in here? You are not dressed for a wedding.' But the man said nothing. So the king told some servants, 'Tie this man's hands and feet. Throw him out into the darkness, where people will cry and grind their teeth with pain.'<BR/><BR/> "Yes, many are invited, but only a few are chosen." <BR/><BR/>May God draw you closer to his light, to fill your heart with a hunger for his righteousness.young brotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07762877133297398396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10876487.post-85284760786465795562008-01-30T14:37:00.000-05:002008-01-30T14:37:00.000-05:00Perhaps my misunderstanding stems from your choice...Perhaps my misunderstanding stems from your choice of words. The character of your message, to my eyes was a rebuke to Peter's former and current attempts to manifest the power of Christ's promises by doing what the church no longer does and working to build a community of believers that works together for the common purpose of serving God. You called his faith "pride", and you are still justifying your pride as "boasting in the Lord". You wrote in condemnation of all churches, while speaking of the perfection of the Bride (as though that purity was a current manifestation) and finally justifying <I>your church</I> as "a viable expression of Christ". That is hypocrisy. It is settling down for much much less than the promised glory that's been forgotten. That is presuming to have arrived already (remember the post is titled "A Vision to Come Again". What those words tell me is that you are defining Christ by the spiritual standards set by your church, not defining your church by the standards of Christ. You have made Christ less important by this, and yourself more important. I know we have not arrived. I know that we can all improve in our ongoing work to carry our cross and follow Christ. This is actually a warning to you not to stay too comfortable in your wonderful church. "The harvest is plenteous, but the workers are few." And in the world today there is a lot of work to be done. Prov 10:5 "Those who gather crops on time are wise, but those who sleep through the harvest are a disgrace."<BR/><BR/>If you seek and follow after Christ, then do so with all of your heart. You will come to an understanding of your role in this world if you merely ask him for it. <BR/>But there is a shaking going on right now that has been intensifying for years. It is the hand of God moving in the world, calling for people to come back to Him and give Him glory. <BR/><BR/>We are called to "seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness" This full commitment to Christ is a price too high for many church-goers to pay, unfortunately. They want God to be the sugar in their coffee, not the Lord of their Lives. Many "christians" will refuse to repent, just as many Jews refused to repent in the days of Christ and John the Baptist. <BR/><BR/>The church has been and continues to be asleep. How do I know? Because I'm awake! (Praise the Lord) Do I condemn all the people who go to church by saying this, no! I know that God is calling to his children within the church as well as those on the outside of it.<BR/>But the example set forth by the modern church is very far from the power of Christ. If you continue to deny that, it is because of your pride. God has a plan that is now in action. His power is being demonstrated for all who look for it, and yet his signs and warnings are being ignored by many <I>exactly as the scriptures said they would be</I>.young brotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07762877133297398396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10876487.post-37207190305044957112008-01-29T23:06:00.000-05:002008-01-29T23:06:00.000-05:00younger bro. you have completely misunderstood my ...younger bro. you have completely misunderstood my comments.It is not pride to confess that a church is an expression of the Lord any more than it is pride to confess one is a christian. I am not bragging of my righteousness but of A Savior!! I am boasting of the work of God within a group of people! <BR/> Therefore as it is written: "Let him who boast boast in the Lord." 1Cor. 1:31 <BR/> Pride is the down fall of many and if you don't think you have it in you- you are already deceived.<BR/> I would never nor would any true follower of Christ crtisize any one for trying to raise a standard for Jesus. You have misunderstood.<BR/>but I think you falter in understanding of the Word. Jesus said people error in not knowing the Scriptures or the Power of God.Mat22:2 Those IN CHRIST are new creations they are not perfected in all areas but in Christ they are spotless and without blemish.This is the Justification we have as believers.I don't think everyone is a believer that confesses or goes to church Wheat will grow with the tares. The "wheat" I know has been transformed miraculously from all types of sin.It is pride to accuse believers of any church that you have not met that they are not reaching after as much as yourself. You need your bros. and sisters in Christ.<BR/> The eye cannot say to the hand,I don't need you!"And the head cannot say to the feet,"I don't need you!" On the contrary, those parts of the body that seems to be weaker are indispensable and the parts thatwe think are less honorablewe treat with special honor. 1Cor.12:21-23<BR/> I disagree strongly with your rebutal and your stand. I am not condemning I am disagreeing and warning! You may raise up a wonderful expression of the Body but it will still be a place with saved and sinner alike and you will not always know who they are. Or will there be someone who will always be able to seperate the "wheat" and "tares". The work of Jesus starts in the heart and we are not privy to that.

You begin by confessing that pride is "the downfall of all christians and ministries" and continue by reiterating the imperfection of church groups and communities. <BR/><BR/>You also chastise Peter for aspiring to something greater than the flawed and blemished modern expression of the mainstream "church", calling his hope and faith "PRIDE". And yet, throughout your message, you speak down to him, belittling his efforts without showing any examples of his apparent sin. And you conclude by justifying your own church as "a very viable expression of our Lord Jesus".<BR/><BR/>Don't you understand that you are a victim of the very sin you speak out against? Is it the Holy Spirit which has inspired you to believe that all who call themselves the church are therefore the church? Is is the gospel which makes you believe that any imperfect institution filled with spots and blemishes can be passed off in the eyes of Christ as the perfect and pure Bride that was promised him?<BR/><BR/>Where is your hope in the transforming power of God? Where is your faith that all who were called to Christ are being formed and fashioned to rise above the inadequacy of current religious standards and practices? Can't you see that the eternity of God surely is greater and longer lasting than any traditions of men? Don't you know that righteousness is our calling, and that there will be many who face the judgment throne assuming that they are Christians who will be turned away, having never known Christ?<BR/><BR/>We are called to stand against the trappings of this world, to uplift each other and continually press on to an ever-unfolding transformation which is promised to us by grace. What you call "pride" is a bold appeal for forgotten righteousness, nothing more. Christ was accused of being proud to the point of blaspheming God, because he referred to God as "Father". Peter and men like him are accused of being proud and unrealistic because they hope for and have faith in the forgotten gospel that we are called to be "children of God", brothers and sisters of Christ. The gospels set a much higher standard of holiness for us than what our churches ask us to settle for. We can't choose to follow the church crowd to the exclusion of our Christian calling. That is the spirit of Antichrist. <BR/><BR/>Is this belief "cutting edge"...in a way. But essentially Peters vision is a return to obeying the teachings of scripture. It is a call to take God seriously. If you have examples of Peter's great pride, please share them. Otherwise, save your condemnation, it will only work to destroy you.young brotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07762877133297398396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10876487.post-26523392792492783722008-01-26T15:23:00.000-05:002008-01-26T15:23:00.000-05:00I wasa part of the"FARM" and it was very good for ...I wasa part of the"FARM" and it was very good for a little while . Many lives were touched by Jesus. But in time pride (The down fall of all christians and ministries) humbled every one involved. Community is a gift from the Lord. The whole Bible was written to people in relationship -how to love ,to serve,ect.. But like any gift of grace it requires a steady submission to grace to use it properly. The moment any one thinks they have all that Jesus is doing in the earth, it is only a matter of time before sin comes then failure and the removal of blessing and Fatherly discipline begins. This is exactly what happen. There is no perfect Community or church group.<BR/>" The Kingdom of God does not come with careful observation, nor will people say, "Here it is",or "There it is",because the Kigdom of God is within you."Lk.17:20,21<BR/> Christ loves his body it may not be what any person or "prophet" thinks but it should be,but is His. He will receive her to himself in His time.Pursue community But do not think you have arrived. We need a Savior and will forever. Love his Body no matter where you find it. Whether it is the "Ordinary church" on the corner or some house church.Don't look to be some "cutting edge" ministry(PRIDE). <BR/> "He has shown you,O man,what is good,and what does the Lord require of you?

The evil that erupted after I left was not my doing but rather the result of power hungry men that wanted to have things their own way.

Anything that was wrong could then be blamed on me. Think about it.

You can blame me all you want for your life, but in the end you are responsible for yourself. I don't know what you were told, but I do know what the truth is. If you are being fed hatred toward me, then you are not being fed the words of Christ. There were never any couples that were "forced together" NEVER not one. The Lord knows what the truth is concerning this matter. Any marriages that happened were of the couples own free will and desire. I never even suggested anyone date anyone else. If there are people that no longer believe, that is probably because they never believed in the first place. They should have been following the Lord not me. When the Lord moved to form Sonshine farm, many were truly blessed. I gave of my self sincerely. I had nothing to gain by that ministry other than being obedient to what I believed God had called me to. I freely admit I sinned before God, but God has long ago forgiven me, as I have forgiven those that trespassed against me. Apparently there is still a great deal of unforgiveness in your heart, and I would guess that came from your parents as well. I am sorry for that, but if you forgive not those that sin against you neither will your heavenly father forgive you. The "demons and scars" you say you have are because you hold bitterness in your heart. You can be set free if you learn to love and not hate. This is not about me, this is about you and your God. I delete your comments because they are hateful and not true, not because I have anything to hide. If you read my work with an open heart it will speak for itself. My life has had it's falls and hurt, but I have gotten up and continue to serve the Lord, I pray you look past me and see Jesus.PursuingTruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09714893182234786346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10876487.post-1169973417219250452007-01-28T03:36:00.000-05:002007-01-28T03:36:00.000-05:00I think this is trash.

Nobody realy knows the exact meaning of the scriptures and your views are irresponsible. Noone knows for sure who the Anti-Christ will be or when Jesus will return. I know this because "the Bible tells me so."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10876487.post-1165794392429741112006-12-10T18:46:00.000-05:002006-12-10T18:46:00.000-05:00At the core, I disagree that Bush is the anti Chri...At the core, I disagree that Bush is the anti Christ. Any study of the anti Christ reveals that "he" will be accepted by all. I don't think that's the case for Bush at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10876487.post-1165467755393491742006-12-07T00:02:00.000-05:002006-12-07T00:02:00.000-05:00Reading over your comments.

I've participated in helping some who faithfully pursue Jesus and His Kingdom move forward from these failures and I'm happy to report that Jesus is still the Head of His Church and His Kingdom is still advancing through these people only because of the grace of God. Let's not build an idol around 'community'. Let's stop dreaming, roll up our sleeves and do the work of genuine friendship and partnership that God makes available to His Church through the reconciling work of the cross, the power of the resurrection and the relase of God's Spirit among people that will surrender to the Lordship of Jesus!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10876487.post-1143643738002824022006-03-29T09:48:00.000-05:002006-03-29T09:48:00.000-05:00PeterZ,Hope you are well.

Come what may; we're His and He is ours - forever and ever.<BR/><BR/>I asked two people this question the other day: "if you could choose when Jesus comes back, would you pick soon or 1,000 years from now?" Both answered immediately with 1,000 years from now. Interesting. I know my answer and it was not the same as theirs.<BR/><BR/>Every article about war with Iran predict that something will happen before 2007. The drums of war are getting louder and louder every day. As is Jesus' return getting closer and closer.<BR/><BR/>I heard today that a secret prison in Afghanistan is to be investigated. It is estimated that 500 detainees have been held incommunicado for 3-5 years as enemy combatants. I wonder how long before we officially become enemy combatants. Do ya think that is what all the spying is about? What else could it be for? Any ideas? Why do they want to know so much - just cause they can? What reason could they have for wanting to know so much about us?<BR/><BR/>Jesus' return is the only hope I hold.<BR/><BR/>Peace and joy to all in His holy name. SusanneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
