Radical Disciples – A Remnant Revolution

Paul talked to them all day, from morning to evening, explaining everything involved in the kingdom of God, and trying to persuade them all about Jesus by pointing out what Moses and the prophets had written about him.

Some of them were persuaded by what he said, but others refused to believe a word of it. When the unbelievers got cantankerous and started bickering with each other, Paul interrupted: “I have just one more thing to say to you. The Holy Spirit sure knew what he was talking about when he addressed our ancestors through Isaiah the prophet:

Go to this people and tell them this:

“You’re going to listen with your ears,

but you won’t hear a word;

You’re going to stare with your eyes,

but you won’t see a thing.

These people are blockheads!

They stick their fingers in their ears

so they won’t have to listen;

They screw their eyes shut

so they won’t have to look,

so they won’t have to deal with me face-to-face

and let me heal them.”

“You’ve had your chance. The non-Jewish outsiders are next on the list. And believe me, they’re going to receive it with open arms!”

Paul lived for two years in his rented house. He welcomed everyone who came to visit. He urgently presented all matters of the kingdom of God. He explained everything about Jesus Christ. His door was always open. (Acts 28:27-31)

I believe the Spirit is still speaking the message today – yet in place of non-Jewish outsides, He is stating to those who are outside of the confines of the man made traditional church structure. Many in the church have been called out of the traditional church by the Spirit to come out an be separate, yet once outside they fall back into that which has been familiar to them and recreated a man-made church structure.

At first the Spirit of the Lord is weighty in His presence, then as they begin to re-establish that which is created by the imagination of men begins to take root – the Spirit slowly steps out – ever so slowly for the Lord is great in His mercy – yet as time goes on they are left with a powerless, man-made institution, totally vacant of the Lord’s presence less that which is in His earthen vessels.

The clergy type leadership gains ground, the controlling factor of mans opinions far out weigh the Spirit led power that is so special about the Bride – people who at one time had the chance to totally freed in the Spirit are left in the bondage’s of religious chains!

Praise God, for there are those who are still being feed the message of the Father daily and adhering to it. Yet, those who are still imprisoned in the throngs of religion, not necessarily the world are the ones who label these faithful servants as too radical, outsiders, trouble makers and those who practice to much theology. But the Spirit bares witness that very servants of the Most High are those who have been baptized deep in the theologies of the very doctrines that Christ our Lord taught, but for the religious and worldly , their messages are too heavy to swallow. Yea, they demand easy words, comfortable life styles – life styles which do not interfere or interrupt their daily lives. To these carnal christians, sacrifice and obedience are labeled legalistic.

The Lord is moving mightily thru out the lands of man-kind this day – He is seeking surrendered and emptied vessels in which to pour in the Flame of the Lord’s passion for His Bride and the lost of the world. In every nation He is raising up, faithful sold out disciples of the cross, who have surrendered their lives completely to the Way of the Lord. Their lives are living sacrifices unto the the daily ministry of the Lord. They are hunters and spiritual assassins seeking out stronghold’s of religion guarded by hellish principalities and pulling them down thru the power of the Spirit of Almighty God.

They are the citizens of the Kingdom of God who have grasped onto the cross and the pure unadulterated gospel message of the Lord Jesus Christ even unto death. Daily waging spiritual war even in the face of great persecution and opposition – they march on. Neither scared nor derailed by the opinions of men, they are Spiritual fueled by the Word and by the oils of the Lord’s holiness, treading upon serpents and over taking demonic strong holds for the Glory of their King Jesus Christ.

My friend, do not allow the ways of this world captivate you – do not seek the easy road, running from compromise, holding fast to the narrow road – seek and trust in the faithfulness of Holy Ghost to see you thru – when the fires of persecution get the hottest it is then you shall be able to look about and in the midst of the fire you shall see the Son of man standing with you holding a cup of fire quenching, life sustaining water from the River which runs out from under the Throne of His Father, God Almighty. Stand fast for He is your rescuer and in the end, having run the race with great spiritual endurance, you shall indeed stand face to face with your Lord with your eternal reward riding upon the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant”.

For you are a Radical Disciple of Jesus Christ!!!!!!

Indeed, we do serve an awesome God!!!!
