Notice:  this email is part of a BLOG, called Living Life With a Capital “C”.  Why a blog?  So that many can receive these thoughts in an easy manner.  If you are not getting these weekly postings via an email, go to the website: www.leemccm.blogspot.com …in the top right corner there is a place to register to receive each post.


One nice thing in this day’s writing is Michael pointing out the essence of ALMI.  All who have known Michael and Betty for any time know that the heart of ALMI is a “with” ministry, not a building up of one ministry.  Amen.

Would to God that all Believers could be persuaded they already belong to The Kingdom of God.



DAY 277

The Kingdom of God

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. –I Peter 2:9

One of the most difficult things to explain is the Abiding Life Ministries International organization. I think I know why. While most are attempting to build an organization, we are busy reminding His people to recognize the organization that already exists. The church is not built by human endeavor but is something that is recognized. I hear people say, “We are building the Kingdom.” That is not true; actually, they are tearing down the real Kingdom of God by their unbelief in its existence, as shown through their attempts to build it. There already is an organization, and our job at ALMI is to persuade people of the fact that they already belong to it. The organization is called the Vine and they are branches, not branches attached to branches but branches attached to the Vine, I do not want people to join me; I want them to join Christ. Not only is it a great blessing to every branch to have the revelation of being in the Vine, it is an equal blessing to me. I do not have to make rules to try to create what the Holy Spirit will do naturally in His attached branches; I will leave that for the kingdom builders who wield their authority and try to do just that.

Yellow – VIP, Very Important Point      Green – IT, Incredible Truth        
Red – GP, Greatest Promises
Turquoise – UR, Unfathomable Riches           Pink – PV, Priceless Victory



I like the King James translation speaking of Believers being a “peculiar” people.  Our peculiar book, the Bible, has some peculiar things to say about us that the world will never acknowledge…but we should.

Wouldn’t “church” be so nice if there were no rules.  Just Holy Spirit doing naturally in His attached branches.

Wouldn’t it be nice if all Believers knew and Lived Michael’s diagram of the Divine Umbilical Cord.  (contact ALMI for one of those)
