There is a warning in the Spirit- A call to pay heed, to be alert, to be watchful- Do you hear a rustling in the wind - A rustling about to move in the trees?
God is moving. Oh do we really know of the signs of the seasons and the weather but more do we know of His moving?
He is moving in restoring the whole body to it proper function. First in returning our eyes, ears and hearts to Him as the Head- the sole Head of the body which is the church. He is including setting the apostolic and prophetic in as foundational with the full range of ministry demonstrated in the local ecclesia. Will we remain tied up in our religious mindsets and ways and miss the harvest and the blessings of God on and in our lives & ministries?
God is moving folks- we really need to seek Him and move with Him even if it means getting out of our comfort zones. Our padded pews, seeing rejection and persecution even by our own brothers and sisters in the Lord, leaving behind man's teachings and commandments. I urge you in the name of Jesus- seek Him and His face for He is truly the Way and He is moving.
He is calling all of the saints who have left or are extremely frustrated with the existing church system, denominations, traditions of the western church for what ever reason, but mostly because of being bound up in exercising their callings and giftings or out right hurt and injury by or thru what is referred to as leadership.
The most amazing thing about this all is the pain and anger of this present so called leadership themselves by the body being passive and putting all the burden on one man- God forgive us for that one too and have mercy on us and help us to all be reconciled to Jesus and to each other and equally share the burden of His weight and yoke of service to the glory of His kingdom.
Some things spoken to me by the Spirit of God.
* A brother brought up a poll statistic concerning traditional church system attendance- 85% of those not attending a ‘church’ (meaning a building on Sunday morning) said they did not attend because they had not been ask. This is probably true but in response the Lord said to me "I am the One stopping folks from asking others to come to a building called church because it is not My will for any man to be bound again to the yoke of Law. I have always wanted My people to stand as a light in this world and that can not be done in a building called 'church'. My Church is built of LIVING STONES- men and women of faith in Jesus who live their testimonies in their own homes and neighborhoods."
*It is the will of God to love us. He made the decision to love us and the proof is Jesus His Son given for us so that we might have fellowship with Him. After all that was His intent in the Garden of Eden- fellowship with His creation. By having made the way for this to happen for us we are also able to love Him! This is the first command. But the second is also important- the quality of our fellowship with Him is seen in our fellowship with others.
