The winds are blowing removing things that our man made and processed with fillers. Ingredients that have been messed with by the hands of man. The Lord has drawn Lanita and I away to a new place with Him to show us things that we have not seen nor heard before and it has been a glorious and enlightening place that has changed our thinking and ways of life.
About 2 years ago the Lord began speaking to us that the church was going to go through a great change, He was going to shake everything that can be shaken and the phrase being used was “Everything Is Changing”. He spoke that He was going to tear down the structures of the church and the man made structures that contain worship in them. Little did we know that the church we were astoring was one of them. In our tiny minds, comared to God, we thought surely our little emire would stand the test and would be found faithful and a great place of truth and worship.
The Lord spoke to us in June that we were to shut down the ministry as a church in the mall and begin being a church. We didn’t have the full understanding or revelation but we obeyed and began to walk out a new season in our lives.
We began to go thorugh a season of acceleration of understanding the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven and we began to see why the word of the Lord was to remove the “processed” from the church and return the church to the Super Natural Organic place it was designed to walk in.
Human nature wants to take every instruction and make it a law or instruction to live by for eternity, when God may want something different from the instruction He gave. For instance, when God gives you an idea, our humanness wants to make it a routine. Last year about this time, God spoke to us and told us to do a internet broadcast about relationships, our humanness took over and we created a whole internet show about relationships with a great name, and we decided to do this show weekly. In other words we felt like if God says do a show then it must be a good idea and we should run with it and do everything we can to make Him proud and help people.
That all sounds good, but God only wanted a show or two, and not give it a name and create a little kingdom of ours to run. We then ran into problems meeting deadlines, we were not able to perform all the things we needed to accomplish and other areas of our lives suffered. We had to cease doing the broadcast. We felt guilty, a sense of failure, and made it hard to, when it was time, to even do another show.
We began to see that sometimes we add ingredients to the things God speaks to us that are meant to be great and are meant well, but they are processed ingredients that didn’t belong.
When we no longer had a place to go weekly for worship we began trying to find a place to worhsip weekly, whether it was in our home, or ministering somewhere else, and any ideas that came our first instinct was to make it a ritual, a weekly or monthly event. God consistantly would re-arrange our thoguhts and correct us to show us His Kingdom. His Kingdom was to live by the Spirit of Life, not by rituals and religion. For instance, He would say “Hold a teaching in your home this Saturday night”, and we would do that and we would then make a plan to do it again next week., He would say, “No, I never said that.”
Slowly and eventually we accepted this way of life and wow, the freedom and power that came was well worth the obedience. Living by the Spirit of Life, Holy Spirit, has revolutionized our way of thinking and has changed us forever. We no longer long to oworship in a building or do a ritual weekly or monthly, etc.
As we have met other saints along the way, we found we were not the only ones god has been leading through on this adventure. (sometimes we like to see ourselves as th eonly one in the cave, we are so wrong
). Church structures and facilities, ministers have been crumbling and being shut down by the instruction of God.
We began seeking the Lord, as to what was happening and why. (Another human charachter trait) He began showing us that even though the church structures served a great prupose in advancing the Kingdom, it is no longer working the way it was designed to during this season. Man was going to have to let go of the processed programs, structures and formulas to walk in the season that is ahead. The old is passing away and I am raising up the new. I am dissolving the way of the last season to bring forth the fruit of the harvest in this new era.
2 Cor 6:16 And what agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are the temple of the living God, as God has said, “I will dwell in them and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.”
2Co 6:17 Therefore come out from among them and be separated, says the Lord, and do not touch the unclean thing. And I will receive you
2Co 6:18 and I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.
I would try to rationalize and try to believe that the church structure is not unclean and that it was not an idol to His people, but He began to open our eyes and show us that what man has created was little kingdoms to build upon when God said,
Heb 8:10 “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My Laws into their mind and write them in their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.?Heb 8:11 And they shall not each man teach his neighbor, and each man his brother, saying, Know the Lord, for all shall know Me, from the least to the greatest.?
Heb 8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more.”Heb 8:13 In that He says, A new covenant, He has made the first one old. Now that which decays and becomes old is ready to vanish away
We are to be led by Holy Spirit to the very moment of what He says and not make a law out of every instruction. This is the new that He spoke of, to walk with Him in you, dwelling with you, speaking to you, leading you and teaching you. Not for a ceremony but to walk in the power of His love in the world seated at the right hand of the Father in Christ Jesus.
There comes a time in maturity that we need to enter into His rest and be seated to rule in heavenly places with Him right here and now is the time.
He began showing us that we are not on different levels, as there isn’t one greater then the other, but we are only in different places with Him. The one man show, or team show is not the true church, one man thinking he is greater then His congregation or thinks he deserves the respect, is being exposed. This is a time of judgment for the obedient and judgement for the disobedient.
This is a season that the deceptions in the church are being exposed:
During this time, many things being revealed will be the true heirchy of the Kingdom of God of the saints are on one level but in different places with God. The true division of the Godly and the wordly order will be revealed, and the church in it’s new structure will be revealed.
What will it look like? What will it consist of?
I only see and know in part but what I do know I have shared in past messages and teachings. You can watch one of the teachings on Apostles and Prophets by cicking here.
I beleive it will look like a people that will be in community, sharing everything common, living in the presence of our Lord, leaning on one another, learning from one another, loving one another as He has prescribed.
Just renaming the sytem and calling it spiritual will not work any longer. Saying we are going to start a home church and meet one time a week at our home is renaming the structure and saying it is spiritual is not going to work, it will be a truly revived structure of going house to house daily, eating and breaking bread together praising our Lord Jesus.
All the fillers and ingredients made by man will be removed and cleansed from the structure so that it can be built on the correct foundation.
Eph 2:18 For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.Eph 2:19 Now therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,Eph 2:20 and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone,Eph 2:21 in whom every building having been fitly framed together, grows into a holy sanctuary in the Lord;Eph 2:22 in whom you also are built together for a dwelling place of God through the Spirit.
Now is the time to listen and obey to what the instruction is right now, and tomorrow to listen to the instruction is then. Listen to His voice and go where He leads you. He will lead you to green pastures and by the still waters. he will lead you into rightousness and make you whole. He will be your God and you will know Him as a man knows a woman. Enter into Him and receive Him into you and take your seat the right hand of the Father in heaven.
Know that the Lord will hook you up with the right people and create a spiritual network that is from Holy Spirit. Not a natural network of meeting people to go speak or to minister to but a spiitual network that is orchestrated to fulfill the call of the Kingdom on your life. We need to hear His voice in this hour so we are not asking in vain.
Begin doing what you see the Lord doing and speaking what you hear Him speaking. Its time for the army to arise with the host of angels to do Kingdom work in His pure power of His Spirit.
There is a apostolic mirgration happening and it doesnt consist of living off of the ministry, but consists of living off of the ways of God, the manna from heaven. Blessings to you in this new season and may this new year be prosperous for you.
