More Intimate Fellowship and holy divine Connections
So where are we on Jehovah’s timeline for the culmination of the end of this age?
Answer: very close to the Parousia (2nd coming of Christ), yes, evil has lifted itself up on a worldwide scale, like never in my lifetime, the presentation of darkness has become and will become more and more visible to the world population.

Come & See
What if church goers could actually see and feel the glory and presence of God in the sanctuary?
What we know of anyone who has seen or felt His Glory in real time reveals to us a sense of a greater intensity of emotion than the modern user friendly church goer currently is ready to accept.Historical encounters of men meeting God, whether angelic, or booming voices, or direct theosophic encounters on the order of Abram's tent meeting announcing the birth of Isaac, and especially of Moses...

LLI Fellowship Hope for 2013
Loving friction makes for true unity
The spoken word of G-d uttered at the dawn of creation did not create man a boring kind of bland, and so simplistic a substance without each man or woman owning the glorious addition of individualized uniqueness, what we commonly see in the face of human beings everyday. This reality clearly reveals in the heart of Our Creator in making diversity of people and of gifts in people.
The more we study the micro-substance of human cell structure and the DNA o...

Without Emotion…
Are you one of those analytical personalities that
will examine a decision from every possible angle? Do you trust your mind to
make the best decision?
If you struggle succumbing to a religious mindset, do you know what you are fighting? Do you fight
internally with your tendency to be religious? We assume that if one
places a high emphasis on the mind to discern truth than you are prone to side
with a church or group of people that defends their view of the faith with s...

New Jersey by way of SoCAL
Sometime in August 2011 the Keener family officially decided to move back to northern NJ. The place where our journey began in 2002.
This will be the 4th time I have moved into the fray of the hustle and bustle of northern New Jersey. Each time I have left this busy state, I say in frustration, "I am never coming back to this place!"
While I have made these thoughtless pronouncements, I instinctively realize that any man or woman who has given their lives to His service cannot, and should no...

Let's Depart from the “Performance” Mindset
The title for this
article is derived from many years of heart wrenching struggle in a very
difficult process to hear and know God's heart for me and His people. To see us
all become a beautiful Bride and begin to do those wonderful works foreordained
for us by virtue of His power working in us. Eph. 2:10
To
finally begin to live the life required and expected by Our Lord's efficacious
work on the cross for us. Yes we are called to go much higher, especially for
those of us who have calle...

Resisting the Party Spirit
I don't believe there is a stronger force to keep the people of God out of the will of God than the “party” spirit.
I'm not speaking of the spirit to party, i.e. having an excessive desire for a good time, all the time.
No, what I'm going to share with you all is our propensity to indulge our flesh inordinately. This attachment or strong allegiance to our party or group we have chosen ours. It could be our denomination, team, certain cliché, political party, family connections, chu...

Divinely Orchestrated Stuckness!
In the past few months my mind has been stretched in so many ways. When the Lord chooses to put us in a place of isolation (dry dock) it forces us to realize how much our salvation is bound to God's power, and not to our plans of executing the call of God on our life through well thought out strategies based in human activity and well executed marketing plans.
The Great Commission and its results are up to God, but our wiliness to submit God's training regiment plays a key role in fulfillmen...

The Soul is Crucified with Christ!
“I have been crucified with Christ, the life I live I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
Think of it, you and I and all those who have fled to the fountain open for sin and uncleaness have been washed and cleansed from every defilement of the flesh.
You have been saved and brought into fellowship with God In the heavenlies.. forever. Wow!
Where justice can not be warped or manipulated by the craftiness and self-service of men. Tha...

Church for Babies & Goats 2
In part one of this article “Church for babies & goats” we observed how Abraham prepared his son to take the helm of the way of faith he had forged. Abraham walked by faith and set an example of faith.
In Gen. 24:7 we see that Abraham took his most trusted servant aside and put his faith before him in such a way that his servant took on the faith responsibility in the very important task of finding a wife for Isaac. He entrusted himself to the One who judges righteously walked to an unk...

Church for Babies & Goats 1
When the Lord chooses to open our eyes to the spiritual climate in our land, for most of us it will seem like we are opening them for the first time. The Lord is going to prepare a new generation of people that will “walk” in faith more then in any generation that I have witnessed in my lifetime.
I believe that the rising generation will be framed in modern history as a generation that operates in a living faith. They will be a generation known for their ardent love of God and as tho...

A Pauline Striving for Perfection!
The apostle Paul made his life and the focal point of his earthly ministry the presentation every true believer as “perfect” in Christ. How do we take this admonition to heart today? How do we then release ourselves to accomplish this very flesh withering task?
We have seen from scripture that the call to be “perfect” is to be a highly sought after goal and consistently demanded by our forefathers of the faith. Paul make the clear assertion of this seemly impossible task in his...

Where are the prophets?
The calling on my life is to walk in a path similar to those called as messengers of God's revelation to their generation. This would in no way conflict with the work of prophets who wrote the scriptures. The work of the modern day prophet brings his audience back to the written Word.
This job or assignment is not typically for the pulpit, many times this call leads men and women to connect one on one with pastors, business leaders, divinely selected individuals, and in public forums which the Lord opens to proclaim His message of Reconciliation
Who is God's army - We Are!
LLI Mission & Values
All of our signs are hand-crafted and hand- painted by Sharon Keener with the help of her children
The Path of Restoration of the Bride of Jesus Christ
- Intercessory Prayer of agreement by two or three like-minded believers.
- Establish clear strategic geographic targets to undo Satan's government of the targeted area.
- Re-preach the gospel according to Our Yeshua's way and lifestyle and to call men everywhere to repent and receive all of Him and His soon coming kingdom.
- Walking as Our Yeshua walked to make true life-giving disciples, followers of Our Lord's words and ways making a clean break from the world and any false loyalty to man-made ecclesiastical Nicolatian religious orders.
- To inspire unity in the Body of Christ around the essentials of the historic faith bequeathed to us from our forefathers. In His way, and in His time, that the world may see that we are one as our Father and His Son are One.
- Walking together as the Bride of Christ, operating by faith in the Father's will and love, walking like our Lord, exclusively in the Father's love.
- Build a team of diverse God the Father ordained leaders that fit the Biblical model of those called to be ambassadors of Christ, a group called to raise up leaders who hear the Voice of Spirit.
- To love sinners enough to go evangelistically where they hang out and meet them in their ditches in the love of Our Savior.
- To encourage the Body of Christ to work together, using all their spiritual gifts, and so we can foster positive change in any community where we have been strategically placed by the Lord.
- Gather the elders, those the Father is calling out to be the next generation shepherds of His Flock, the David's, not the Saul's of the past, men and women who have sold all to follow the Lamb.
- Gather called out elect Jews, Gentiles, and Muslims that make up the remnant of God, a diverse and unique gathering of saints from every tongue and nation.
- Sponsor trips to Israel to establish our understanding of Our unified place in the Land and with all of His People scattered abroad.
- The anointed use of a holy means of promoting the powerful medium of worship and the spoken Word to draw all men to hear His Once for all Work of redemption proclaimed.
- Raise up teams of Holy Spirit trained and prepared ambassadors of His peace who come through the process of training as priests to God are sent out to the Spirit-led places where sinners like us live and operate.
- Open up our homes and "other" intimate settings for the purpose of training and equipping the "saints" and where we openly display christian hospitality and where we share material things.
- Sending out Gospel workers who establish churches that are biblically-governed and prepared to be houses of agape love and purity and in whom the power of heaven dwells.
- Reestablish the family to the rising generation so the newly converted can visibly "see" and "feel" firsthand the love of husband and wives and the brethren manifested in real and tangible ways.
The Life and Times of
The Keener Family
Over the last few years
Scattered Israel to be regathered
Jer. 31:10"Hear the Word of the Lord, O you nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say: He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd does his flock."
Reader, in touching on this point, I would not have you for a moment suppose that the future gathering of Israel depends on anything that man can do. God's counsels and purposes are independent of human strength. The sun will set tonight at its appointed hour, and neither Queen, Lords, nor Commons, Pope, President, nor Emperors — can hasten, prevent, or put off its setting. The tides of the sea will ebb and flow this week in their regular course, and no scientific decree nor engineering skill can interfere with their motion.And just in like manner, the promises of God concerning Israel will all be fulfilled in due season, whether we will hear, or whether we will forbear.
—Bishop JC Ryle 1879
