Magna Carta of the International Circle of Faith

The Believer’s Magna Carta Before me, behind me, and all around me, stand walls that encircle the free city of God, the Heavenly Jerusalem, the Church of the Living God! These walls are a part of a system of man-made, hell inspired, insecurity born, and Jezebelian birthed barriers that cut across our freedom in a gash of spiritual barbed wire, concrete, dog runs, and guard towers.

In your particular sectors, there may be no obvious and visible walls, but there remain armed guards, authoritarian pastors, and a myriad of checkpoints all the same, still existent as a restriction on personal freedom to explore the depths of revelation and a relationship with God. Yet I think it is here, in the core of the "Apostolic Movement" the citadel and bastion of conservatism and personal dogma, that the wall emerges most clearly from the fog and miasma of so-called "truth." The "Wall," an instrument imposing upon ordinary men and women the will of a totalitarian ministry.

Here, where the "wall" emerges most clearly, where reality has imprinted this brutal division of the Army of God, standing before every Gate of socalled "Truth" is a man separated from his fellow compatriot in the Gospel!

Every man today in honesty ought to look upon a scar bespeaking of the brutality of unnecessary separation and division! There needs to be repentance before God! We rail not against your doctrine, dogma, nor creed, but we do fight valiantly and desperately against spiritual starvation, poverty of the Word Incarnate, and the chaos of division. Of these things we have no countenance or toleration. Yet we do not offer the arms of war, we offer the healing of reconciliation to the purposes of God in the earth. We do not proffer the polemic platform of debate, nor do we wish to shed innocent blood in controversy. We just wish to come together in one common goal and purpose, and that is to be the Church of Jesus Christ in the earth, accomplishing His will and way! ©2005 ©2020 International Circle of Faith – ICOF www.icof.net Written by John R.
