The Lord told Adam in Genesis 1:28 ” Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

He said unto Abraham “Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:” (Genesis 12:1)

And to Joshua He said “Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.” (Joshua 1:3)

The Lord kept His covenant with David ” And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? Shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue; for thou shalt surely overtake them and without fail recover all.”

Jesus said in Luke 10:19 “Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.”

Paul through the inspiration of Holy Spirit wrote in Ephesisans 1:21 “Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come”.

As His Children and His Remnant in this generation, we know our Father is with us and on our side, for John wrote in Revelations 21:3″And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.”

I believe that is was scriptures such as this which empowered our founding fathers to walk in faith as to the belief that it was Almighty God establishing this nation. You can see it in many of thgeir wriing including the Constitution as well as the then colonies declaration to the King of England (The Declaration of Independance) when they wrote:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”

There is a great evil present in our land, with a demonic influeance over certain people in political offices as well as to all the way to those with our communities who seek to deny God, and more specifically to deny His claim for this nation. They seek to destroy our Church, to re-write our histriy and erase any evidience of God whatsoever.

However they discount the power of our God working through His chosen Remnant, we carry the absolulte authority of He who is “Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come”, for the scripture do declare that we are seated with Him.

Let the Remnant arise today and walk in the very power and authority invested to us by our King Jesus who said “And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full”

Father, it gives us Great joy to claim America as belonging to you, we speak to the evil in tis land and we bind its voice, and we in the Name above all names, Jesus, lose Your will from coast to coast, border to border that America is now and shall ever be, under Your Dominion rule. We claim that the upcoming election shall be a day of victory for the Righteous in this nation, we declare that those who operate behind a veil of evil shall be removed from their positions of authority and their voices shall be silenced. We declare that Your Holy Word and a time for prayers unto You shall be returned to the school Houses across this nation. We decree a mighty righteous reformation to the education Institutes which were founded to advance the knowledge of Your Holy Word. Amen & Amen

“If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” (Gal. 5:25)

Could it be that we do not have many in the Church today who are burning ones, due to the fact that many lean not upon the empowering presence of the Fiery One, Holy Spirit?

Instead, we find a majority of Christian Churches leaning upon the recital of a prayer that is not found anywhere in scripture?

Does not the scriptures clearly state that unless one be born from above?

Are not these quotes found in the Word: “That which is born of the flesh is flesh, that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit. “Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.” “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”

Yet seldom do we witness one’s life being radically changed after the prayer is said.

Wait a minute. Has not the Church modeled the world in building Biblical education institutes modeled after the world with the goal of producing individuals, who are proficient in religious intellectualism?

The most exalted intellect, and the most attractive, natural disposition, reach no higher than the earth itself.

The Kingdom of Heaven consists of the family of God, those who have risen to an entirely different sphere, and received a nature as much above the intellectual and the moral as God is above an angel.

It is not a prayer that is needed, it is not religious intellectualism.

No, my friends, it is the power of the Gospel drawing one to their knees where they surrender all and having done so receive the seal of the Kingdom via the baptism in FIRE that is so desperately needed in our day.

Enough of the religious games, enough with the wasting of the children’s bread (Finances) on worldly education models meant for the store-house for God’s family.

We can not lose another generation to a stick, hay, and stubble religious system lacking in Holy Spirit empowering fire.

We need a reformation of spiritual fathers and mothers!!!

It is time for the Bride to wake up, time for the Remnant to stand up, and time for the Church to return to the foundational teachings of Red Letters and put ALL of our trust in the hands of the promised One, Holy Spirit.

Release the hounds of Heaven to rout out the foxes and send them fleeing from the Father’s houses across this nation.

It is time for a major rallying of the revivalist minute men, sending them from town to town ‘Get ready for the day of Salvation has come!!!

(I received this word from the Lord in 2013 but did not post it at the time – 9 years later I see its truth has unfolded before our very eyes)

In these last days, we must walk in the full knowledge of our Holy Lord Jesus Christ. We must cut short the lives of any false words, so that they may be exposed and emptied of any and all power to deceive a man. We must walk in the true revelation that indeed we are charged and commissioned by our Holy Lord and his Holy apostle Paul to judge the fruit from which a man bares.

Such a lie of hell has been written in the creed of the modern-day Church that one must not judge another. I say do away with such nonsense and live the Red Letters of our most glorious Holy Lord.

The winds of war are streaming down the mountainside upon the Church and they are picking up steam. The limitation of the voice of His people in Europe to be heard is not even close to the limitation that is about to be enacted and enforced against the Church in America.

There are godless people and godless agendas which seek to silence the force of moral truth and that of our Lord’s servants altogether even to the depth of seeing them thrown in prison with the key to be lost.

In these days we must be like the lion who has been cornered, the thunderous roar echoing from the walls from which he has been herded. Yet this lion is the Lion of Judah, and his roar not merely bounces off the walls. no not the roar of this eternal one, His roar causes the walls of lies to come crashing down upon the heads of the very ones who have sought to confine Him.

This is not a season to walk in fear for it is a season ordained from the days of old to walk in the glory of our most Holy Christ. Know this also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, { ll Tim 3:1-3}

Charge on dear saints, charge on. Refuse to bow to the powers of this world, and shake off the desire to submit in any way or form to the voice of this age.

No, my brothers and sisters, we must stand up and proclaim the Gospel of our precious and Holy Christ to the world even if it means all of the world turns against us. Let them mash their teeth upon us if that be what is to come.

For we walk in the eternal glorious truth that nothing in this world or the world to come can separate us from the Love of our Holy Father with whom we shall spend all of eternity. This life is but a vapor and though a time of unease, torment, and pain may come, it is indeed but a flick of the eye compared to the most glorious time we shall have in the Kingdom of His heaven here on earth.

When the world proclaims “speak not this name Jesus anymore” let the children of the Most Holy Father rise upon the housetops, towers, and even the mountains and proclaim the name of Jesus even louder. Our voice can not, and shall not be silenced. Pass what laws they may, the Gospel shall be preached. I will die with the name of the Holy Lord Jesus Christ upon my tongue and lips.

James also warns us of these days as well as letting us know that we must in faith endure. “Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial, for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust”. (James 1:12-14)

Let it be the same for all of His followers in this day, who shall not bend a knee to the temptations of this world nor compromise their faith in any way in Jesus Christ Holy name.

Yahweh goes out to battle like a hero and stirs up his passion and zeal like a mighty warrior. Yes, his God-shout is a mighty battle cry; he will triumph heroically over all his foes. For a long time, I said nothing. I restrained myself and kept silent. Now I will groan, pant, and gasp like a woman in labor. I will level their hills and mountains and dry up all their vegetation. I will turn rivers into islands and dry up their lakes. (Isaiah 42:13-15, The Passion Translation)

Although I am now several days in the negative from covid, energy is still the issue.

I so badly want to be at the mission yet my body seems to just want to sleep.

So I sleep, read, war in the Spirit and sleep some more.

At times the warring in the Spirit crosses the realm lines of unconsciousness and consciousness and I find myself warring in my dreams.

Yet whether awake or a sleep, I am fully confident according to the Scriptures that as I am warring in Christ, I am always warring from a position of Victory He has already won.

Jesus warned us there would be battles, persecutions, trials and tribulations..

Yet Praise God, with that He promised us His Hell shaken PEACE grounded in the Truth that He is the Victorious Champion.

He has overcome everything the enemy and the rulers of this worlds system threw at Him and He has left them ALL in total defeat!!!

For those of you who are recovering from covid, press in and press on.

The Battle has already been won in Christ Jesus…

It is the time when the Warriors of the Kingdom must contend the hardest, for the break through Victory is close.

Don’t give in to the enemy, you shall prevail victorious in Christ, you are a mighty child of God and the enemy of our soul has already been defeated.

Now is the hour to press in and contend for the manifestation of the victory of the cross in our lives.

We shall come through this stronger then when the enemy first attackes us.

We are indeed more than conquerors in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Shalom.

I had a dream last night in which an individual came to our home. When I opened the door, the individual seemed familiar but I could not remember their name. The individual started telling me all about everything in the news, the election, nation and world.

I started feeling uncomfortable and asked them their name. The individual sat back and smiled. I asked their name again, and with the smile still on their face, the individual smiled and said “It’s me, your old friend fear”.

After the name was spoken I woke up. Spent some time in communion with Holy Spirit and was filled with peace. I feel lead to share the following:

So, what does all this mean? If God has determined to stand with us, tell me, who then could ever stand against us? For God has proved his love by giving us his greatest treasure, the gift of his Son. And since God freely offered him up as the sacrifice for us all, he certainly won’t withhold from us anything else he has to give………Yet even in the midst of all these things, we triumph over them all, for God has made us to be more than conquerors, and his demonstrated love is our glorious victory over everything! (Romans 8:31-33, 37, TPT)

Don’t fall for the enemy’s tactic of releasing the “spirit of fear” as a weapon against the Saints this year. All the hype of the “New administration” attack against Christians, whether it be a illegitimate or legitimate administration it has “No power” nor any “weapon” that can prosper against the faithful.

Since the Resurrection of our Lord the enemy has sought to snuff us out and the Bride has gone through darker days and we’re still here.

So rather than run and hide in fear, let us rise up United in cause and shine brighter than we’ve ever shined before – for we not only serve a Victorious King, we have inherited a “Overcoming – Victorious – Conquering” D.N.A.

We are more than a “Little Light” We are the Light in Christ which shall light up the nations with the un removable, undisputable revelation knowledge of the Glory of our Lord.

Having put on the FULL ARMOR of God, let us be on the offensive welding the Power of Peace, Mercy & Grace. Let us stand firm in our Faith, releasing the mighty weapons of Righteousness, casting down and nullifying every evil agenda spoken against the Bride of Christ.

Let us release the weaponized missiles of prayer which is are in agreement with Heaven according to the promises of our inheritance of dominion authority, calling for His Kingdom the come, and His perfect will to be established, destroying every stronghold of darkness which seeks to silence the voice of Heaven.

Let us look forward to the next four years as that which we shall make the Name of Jesus known from coast to coast, that every inch of the White House and congress will be bathed in the Holy all consuming Presence of our Father which is seated for all eternity upon the Throne of Righteousness!!!

Then Jesus addressed both the crowds and his disciples and said,  “The religious scholars and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ throne as the authorized interpreters of the Law.  So listen and follow what they teach, but don’t do what they do, for they tell you one thing and do another.  They tie on your backs an oppressive burden of religious obligations and insist that you carry it, but will never lift a finger to help ease your load.  Everything they do is done for show and to be noticed by others. They want to be seen as holy, so they wear oversized prayer boxes on their arms and foreheads with Scriptures inside, and wear extra-long tassels on their outer garments. They crave the seats of highest honor at banquets and in their meeting places.  And how they love to be admired by men with their titles of respect, aspiring to be recognized in public and have others call them ‘Reverend.” (Matthew 23:1-7, TPT)

It’s is very interesting to see that this is even more prevalent in our day. The sin of such is very much like leaven for is we do not allow Holy Spirit access to search our heart, a little morsel of pride un-detected will ultimately cause ones down fall.

Man has a habit of putting those they admire up on a peddle stool, and in such they begin to desire to become like them. In a day when access to these individuals through media and social networking is larger than ever, we see our fair share of “super-star” puffed up religious personalities out there. The question is why are so many attracted to them? Is it due to their popularity or that they have huge crowds and within the philosophy of this world, that translates being accepted, admired and almost (in some case they are) worshipped?

Sorry America, Heaven has one star and His Name is Jesus, and His Father will not tolorate any idols before Him, no mater how popular they are or how much the resemble the American way, or any other nation or culture for that matter.

Let’s continue on with Jesus’ teaching here in Matthew Chapter 23:

But you are to be different from that. You are not to be called ‘master,’ for you have only one Master, and you are all brothers and sisters.  And you are not to be addressed as ‘father,’ for you have one Father, who is in heaven.  Nor are you to be addressed as ‘teacher,’ for you have one Teacher, the Anointed One. The greatest among you will be the one who always serves others from the heart.  Remember this: If you have a lofty opinion of yourself and seek to be honored, you will be humbled. But if you have a modest opinion of yourself and choose to humble yourself, you will be honored.” (Matthew 23:8-12, TPT)

So, what’s up with all the titles people?

From Prophet so an so, Apostle so an so to Apostle-Prophet-Teacher so an so. And the list goes on and sadly it’s fueled by a generation that feeds into their ego, puffing them up. What’s really scary is that many who do such are falling into the trap of pride themselves. It’s as though they feel a perverse entitlement in that if they are following such titles, they are:

a) Better than others who don’t have leaders of such “Great Esteem” and or b) If they follow close enough, why the blessing and favor of God on these leaders lives will somehow have splatter on them.

Need I say anymore? I think not, as I believe Holy Spirit has all the power to remove the scales from peoples eyes and the Word speaks with power as well, so let’s see what Jesus has to say next;

Jesus gives us a 7 stern warning’s here….

 Great sorrow awaits you religious scholars and you Pharisees—such frauds and pretenders! You do all you can to keep people from experiencing the reality of heaven’s kingdom realm. Not only do you refuse to enter in, you also forbid anyone else from entering in!

 Great sorrow awaits you religious scholars and you Pharisees—frauds and pretenders! For you eat up the widow’s household with the ladle of your prayers. Because of this, you will receive a greater judgment.

 Great sorrow awaits you religious scholars and you Pharisees—such frauds and pretenders! For you will travel over lake and land to find one disciple, only to make him twice the child of hell as yourselves.

 You blind guidesGreat sorrow awaits you, for you teach that there’s nothing binding when you swear by God’s temple, but if you swear by the gold of the temple, you are bound by your oath.  You are deceived in your blindness!

 Which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold sacred?  And you say that whoever takes an oath by swearing, ‘By the altar,’ it is nothing. But if you swear, ‘By the gift upon the altar,’ then you are obligated to keep your oath.  What deception! For what is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred?  Whoever swears by the altar swears by the altar and everything offered on it.  And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and the one who dwells in it.  And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by God, who sits upon it.

 Great sorrow awaits you religious scholars and Pharisees—frauds and pretenders! For you are obsessed with peripheral issues, like insisting on paying meticulous tithes on the smallest herbs that grow in your gardens. These matters are fine, yet you ignore the most important duty of all: to walk in the love of God, to display mercy to others, and to live with integrity. Readjust your values and place first things first.  

What blind guides! Nitpickers! You will spoon out a gnat from your drink, yet at the same time you’ve gulped down a camel without realizing it!

 Great sorrow awaits you religious scholars and Pharisees—frauds and imposters! You are like one who will only wipe clean the outside of a cup or bowl, leaving the inside filthy. You are foolish to ignore the greed and self-indulgence that live like germs within you.  You are blind and deaf to your evil. Shouldn’t the one who cleans the outside also be concerned with cleaning the inside? You need to have more than clean dishes; you need clean hearts!

 Great sorrow awaits you religious scholars and Pharisees—frauds and imposters! You are nothing more than tombs painted with fresh coats of white paint—tombs that look shining and beautiful on the outside, but within are found decaying corpses full of nothing but corruption.  Outwardly you masquerade as righteous people, but inside your hearts you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

 Great sorrow awaits you religious scholars and Pharisees—frauds and imposters! You build memorials for the prophets your ancestors killed and decorate the monuments of the godly people your ancestors murdered.  Then you boast, ‘If we had lived back then, we would never have permitted them to kill the prophets.’  But your words and deeds testify that you are just like them and prove that you are indeed the descendants of those who murdered the prophets.  Go ahead and finish what your ancestors started!  You are nothing but snakes in the grass, the offspring of poisonous vipers! How will you escape the judgment of hell if you refuse to turn in repentance?

 “For this reason I will send you more prophets and wise men and teachers of truth. Some you will crucify, and some you will beat mercilessly with whips in your meeting houses, abusing and persecuting them from city to city.  As your penalty, you will be held responsible for the righteous blood spilled and the murders of every godly person throughout your history—from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Jehoiada, whom you killed as he stood in the temple between the brazen altar and the Holy Place.  I tell you the truth: the judgment for all these things will fall upon this generation!” (Matthew 23:13-36, TPT)

This is as stern a message to the Body today as it was in the day it was spoken. Several months ago, Holy Spirit took me make to these passages to remind to stay the course. Several years before, He led me here to show me that I was lifting up men over Jesus Himself. That I had fashioned my eyes and ministry aspirations on an imposter imagine of what a true follower of Jesus looked and acted like.

In both cases I had to repent for Holy Spirit showed me how I had been drawn away by the bling bling of popularity and sought-after false images. I had to turn my eyes and thinking back to the simplicity of the “Gospel of the Kingdom” and especially back on Christ my Lord, King and Messiah.

Let us, who have in one form or other fallen for the leaven like snares of the enemy repent and turn back to the truth, return to the Highway of holiness and pursue Christ Jesus, His Righteousness and His Kingdom alone, for then we shall indeed be sons & daughters of God.

For my brothers & sisters, I believe we are about to enter  a time-period when the Bride is being awoken, that which has been spots and blemishes on her beauty is going to be removed. We are in an hour when we shall begin to see the Fulness of the Kingdom break-forth. Those things which are not part of the Brides adornment will begin to be exposed and removed quickly.

We’ve been teetering for several generations and due to the Great mercy of our Lord, He has held back His hand, but we are about the enter the 3rd 3rd, the fullness of the Kingdom where the spiritual resurrection of the Bride is going to take place. The earth’s groans for the manifestation of the sons & daughters of God have filled the bowls in Heaven and are now being tipped over.

It is an exciting day for the Bride, but it’s going to be a dreadful day for the Harlot.

So let us close this with a prayer,

Holy Spirit lead us in a way which humbles us and prepare our hearts for the purposes for which the Father ordained for our lives before the foundation of the world. Let our hearts be baptized with Your Holy Fire, let our hands be cleansed by Your holiness, may we be washed clean from the muck of religion and worldliness.

Father, have Your ways in our lives to the Glory of Your Name, Amen

natural-forest

I long to be more fully connected into the flow of the glory of life eternal and abundant. Father God, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit of life, consume me now that nothing of me remains and only You fully and securely abide.

Human reason was good enough for a religious season, but now has spent its strength. Immortality must now replace mortality. Mortal life wanes away making place for God’s immortal life to stay: no longer a passing visitor, but now a wellspring of Your life forevermore. (John 7:38).

Hallelujah! The time has come for the sons of glory to come forth. Now is the day for Spirit-natural to replace supernatural.

Now, while yet on earth, living in immortality from the fountain of life flowing living water of eternal life within us and out to a world that has been captured by spirits of death. Setting captives free to walk out of death’s prisons to live life abundantly now and forever.

Truly mortality has put on immortality.

Death must always precede resurrection life. The death experience of our past life is the end of our reasoning season. We are crucified with Christ that we may be recipients of His resurrected life now in these mortal bodies that are the temple of His immortality. (1 Corinthians 6:19).

Even as our natural flesh wanes away, eternal life abides as one with Spirit Christ within us. “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Galatians 2:20.

The mystery of the ages now revealed is the immortal glorified Christ in you, the hope of glory. The glory of God fills the earth through the resurrected Christ abiding in multitudes of Sons of God, joint heirs with Christ Jesus, ruling and reigning on Planet Earth.

THE BIG QUESTION

The big question is not, “Is there life after death?”. The great question for you and me today is this: Is there life now, real life, eternal life, abundant life? Yes! The true life of Christ, the resurrected life of Jesus alive within our mortal bodies by the Holy Spirit is the immortal, eternal, and abundant life now and forever.

Our time to bring the glory of God on earth is NOW. Only our short time on earth is our given opportunity to bring the ways and glory of heaven to earth. Our time on earth is NOT just preparation for life in heaven someday. This life now is the one that counts in the job assignment that we all have in Christ to bring forth our part of the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.

God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son to redeem the world. The work of His Son, Christ Jesus, continues today by the Holy Spirit forming Christ in us becoming many sons in the ONE SON, Christ Jesus, as the body of Christ on earth.

MANY TODAY CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST AND ALIVE IN HIM

Probably all religions contain some truth at some level. However, they are all cunningly devised with divergences of man’s reasoning influenced by demon spirits. Satan and powers of darkness cannot continue their false rule on earth when the whole truth of Christ now on earth arising in His people is realized. The realization of Christ in us is the manifestation of Christ to His rightful place of King of His kingdom on earth. (1: Timothy 4:1) (Matthew 15:9) (Ephesians 4:14) (Revelation 1:6, 5:10).

The enemies of God are powerless against the Son of God in His Body on earth. The devil and all works of darkness were and are defeated at the cross. The victory of the cross is brought forth on earth by the resurrected life of Christ Jesus now abiding in His people alive on earth by the Holy Spirit.

THE GREATEST OUTPOURING OF GOD ON EARTH

The greatest revival ever is the imminent massive surge of awakening to the reality of Christ in His people by the Holy Spirit, establishing the fullness of the kingdom of God in and through His people.

It is the voice of God in Christ in His people that will end the false reign of Satan and the powers of darkness on earth. The powerful WORD of God spoken forth through the demonstration of the LOVE works of Christ in His Body on earth recreates the earth to the Garden of Eden type design of God.

This is not a someday by and by reality. This is now available within the hearts and lives of all who will fully seek first, above all else, the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and love not their lives to the death. Thereby making room for the resurrected life of Christ to fully abide where we once lived. To save our lives now is to lose the life of Christ and His kingdom reality now in this life on earth. To lose our lives now for His sake and His gospel of the kingdom is to find His resurrected life now and forever. (Matthew 6:33) (Revelation 12:11) (Matthew 10:39) (Galatians 2:20).

 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33.

The mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. 27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Colossians 1:26-27.

In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
10 Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Matthew 6:9-10.

Arise, my beloved, your time has come; all is prepared and made ready. That which was is no more, and that which is to come is within you. Awaken to the light of glory in the power of love and peace everlasting.

wolf-sheep

So Jesus went over it again, “I speak to you eternal truth: I am the Gate for the flock. All those who broke in before me are thieves who came to steal, but the sheep never listened to them. I am the Gateway. To enter through me is to experience life, freedom, and satisfaction. A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect—life in its fullness until you overflow! I am the Good Shepherd who lays down my life as a sacrifice for the sheep. But the worker who serves only for wages is not a real shepherd. Because he has no heart for the sheep he will run away and abandon them when he sees the wolf coming. And then the wolf mauls the sheep, drags them off, and scatters them. (John 10:7-13, TPT)

Religion likes to hide the truth..So many have heard that “The enemy cometh but to kill, steal and destroy” referencing the Satan, yet Jesus is clearly refers to “False” shepherds here, not the devil but those who are led of the devil.

It is rampant all around us, the Gospel is being sold, wolves have taking over many a pulpit in this nation, the rise of propehts for profits, self appointed apostles rising out of the mud.

Titles are being created out of selfish ambiton to lend credibility, yet the Kingdom teaches about the authentic Kingdom by recognizing fruit not titles. #SELAH

“Peter rebuked him and said, “Your money will go with you to destruction! How could you even think that you could purchase God’s supernatural gift with money? You will never have this gift or take part in this ministry, for your heart is not right with God.”(Act’s 8:20-21, TPT)

Is it no less a crime against the King and His Kingdom to sell the anointing?

We shall soon see Holy Spirit removing the sheeps wool off from these imposters who seek to sell the gifts of God.

I recently read of an event where a self appointed prophet, apostle, evangelist right here in the town that I live, hosting a meeting where he is charging over $100 dollors to come and allow him to impart a gift to you.

I see people and ministries charging people for a word, to be discipled and so on. Now I am fully aware and see the need to have one cover the cost of training material such as needed books and other training material and I believe that one should be willing to invest in such. As well I believe in free-will offerings or love offerings to help support those in ministry in truth and trusting in the Lord.

But to charge for the Gospel, too charge to impart or stir up a gift, to charge to disciple one in following the Lord?

I believe I stand with all of Heaven when I say, that is a crime and such as do these things are the very people our Lord and Savior is referring to when He speaks of these false shepherds.

“I know that after I leave, imposters who have no loyalty to the flock will come among you like savage wolves. Even some from among your very own ranks will rise up, twisting the truth to seduce people into following them instead of Jesus. (Act’s 20:29-30, TPT)

There are those who seduce the people with mysticism, calling it a new word, there are those who take advantage of the wounds of rejection, fear and abandonment in others leading them with false doctrines supposedly given to them by angels and dead leaders of yesterday.

There are those who claim to have rolled on the graves of the men and women of the Lord from days passed who walked in the anointing of the Lord and recieved an impartation or transfer of anointing.

Such are they who say you can speak to the dead for guidance and wisdom. Harlots, false prophets, and false messengers are they, wolves clothed in the false coverings who are filled with death and darkness – evil in the highest degree. From such RUN.

Such are nothing less than frauds, imposters, wolves in the ministry who need to be called out even as did Paul call them out in his day.

Teachings, Impartation, Activation and sending out (1)
I can see a spiritual reality in the picture above. looking out across the Church horizon one can see three aspects of the Church community in this hour. Two of which are represented in the above photo as being either dead spiritually or greatly malnourished spiritually.
On the right side one can see dead churches stuck in seasons gone by on one side. Some of it being intermingled with the purpose of the Kingdom and that of the purposes of man, which has left them in a strangled stance. These often speak of grace yet teach from a legalistic side of the law.
Then on the left side of the healthy green growth, we see an aspect of the Church in this present day as that of having a strong religious mindset (stronghold). Knowing of Grace yet not fully embracing it or worse, having given way to complete compromise with no Heavenly order whatsoever. Even worse, we see some segments even walking off the path of truth completely, entering into erroneous doctrines to that of even knocking on the door of mysticism.
Then in the very middle is the Remnant in the midst of the other two, who is rising up from the foundational teaching of Jesus and His apostles. They are those who have died, or are dying to self and only want to be that which is the perfect image of the Son. Those who have seen their identity according to the Father’s view and are living their lives out in the identity of son’s and daughter’s. They have begun living lives of co-laboring with Heaven. Some of the Remnant has been assigned by the Father, to remain inside the others two in some form or another. Yet in this hour we are seeing more and more coming out and are gathering together living out the Kingdom life according to the direction of it’s King, Jesus Christ.

“Every person will know by this that you are my disciples, if you shall have love one to the other.” John 13:35

One important thing is to remember that the Father deeply loves those in all three groups yet we must not mistake His love for His Children as a node of confirmation to the structures they are in. In fact I believe it is because of His great love for them that He is raising up modern day “Moses” if you will, to rescue them from the confines of religion. And we must always live our lives out of the motivation of the Father’s love no matter who we are dealing with or find our selves.

Yeshua answered and said to him: “You are the Teacher of Israel and you do not know these things? (John 3:10)

Now, all these groups are able to draw people who are desperate to find hope. Yet the question must be asked, what are they drawing them too? Religion or Spiritual freedom in Christ Jesus.
Many Churches idea of evangelism is built upon the premise of “Building” their fellowships. Yet the are blind to the true evangelism of what Jesus taught. I know because I was of both groups. Praise God that Holy Spirit was able to break through the walls of religion in my own life and bring John 3:10 into that prison cell like a sledge hammer, tearing down the wall that had been built up by wrong teaching.
Now the true Remnant of Christ is beginning to walk in a deeper level of power in the area’s of the prophetic, healing’s and miracles. We are beginning to see what happened in the book of Acts manifesting today. And I believe as we begin to walk in these gift’s of God, reaching the level of “heavens works here on earth” of which our Lord did, then we shall see a shift into the “Greater” works than these happening.
Now, we must also realize that there is still a great hope in Christ that He can in fact bring a major Spiritual reformation into the groups which are off center, having stepped off from the Chief corner stone (Jesus) and His teachings, and held strongly to the misrepresentation of Biblical by men. Having replaced Heaven’s translation of truth for that of men.
Let us pray for the Church as a whole, that a fresh wind of Spiritual truth will blow upon them and release a fresh vision of who we are as a Body according to what the Father desires. Which I believe will not really be so much of a “new” vision as much as it will be a fresh reset to the foundation that Christ Jesus brought and that His apostles of the first Church lived upon and taught from.
While at the same time, may our own spiritual eyes be open to the truth that religion, legalism and compromise have no place in the Kingdom of God. For in all things (actions, words and deeds) may our lives bring Glory to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The New Testament out-lines what a gathering looks like and sadly many miss this. Either that or they are taught that the model of today is the true model.

Here is what I believe we find one looks like according to scripture;

Is it a Kingdom gathering if its in a large Cathedral or Mega Church setting?

No, not necessarily yet the Lord can still move within one.

Is it only in a house sitting?

No, not necessarily although because of persecution this is how they met in the New Testament. And I personally believe that in small groups, connected through out a town, city or even State can be far more productive and cost effective.

Does it have a pastor?

No, not in the manner for which most Churches operate today. The New Testament model shows a plurality of leaders (elders). But this by no means warrants that a group must not have a teacher or one who is matured as an elder who the Lord is using to disciple others into the elder’s role. (Acts 2:42-47) Much like what Jesus himself had taught them (Luke 9:1-6), (Matt 10:1-16)

Do they collect offering’s?

Yes, they should collect an offering to go into the StoreHouse of the Lord which can be used for many purposes with regard to those who gather together as well as fund missions from within the group. The storehouse can also assist the needs of those whom the Lord puts on the hearts of the group. This does not mean that the group needs to support a sole individual who wants to be their “Leader” which is a mark of many groups and Churches today. I am not saying that one who is called to ministry is not entitled to receive money to support them as there is a Biblical principle as well. That is a different story. I know of people who started a house group (Church) and then forces their bills upon the group in a manner for which the group is manipulated through guilt into supporting them. Paul set the high road about this subject and a diligent student will go study what I mean. The positive thing in regard to meeting in private homes is that no money is wasted on rent or mortgages.

Lessons from my personal study:

I’ve spent the better part of a decade and a half studying the Kingdom Model and I’ve seen the good, the bad and the ugly. Regretfully the good have been far in between. I attended groups that merely sit around and complain about the big Church and bring no Glory to the Lord and sadly they are generally are simply a smaller model of what they are complaining about.

I have witnessed some that morphed into a secluded group of believers who don’t evangelize and are totally scared of “Out-siders” coming in and contaminating their group. This is scary and cultish as they general end up with a single leader.

I have also witnessed a few that are onto something and this is generally found in persecuted nations but there are a few as well which are thinly spread out across America. These group are tapping into the Kingdom culture and the Lord is beginning to really move. Although, right now it may well be considered a remnant of sorts. I have heard from others and believe myself that in the coming months, especially here in America it will begin to swell in momentum as the “Mega-Churches” have been draining the Nations storehouse to support their personal kingdom agenda’s which require mega mortgages and salaried staff to keep the machine operating. The Spirit is opening the spiritual eyes of many. In these groups, we find that unlike the Mega type Church, these Kingdom gatherings have a plurality of leadership, taking turns teaching and all the gifts operating within the group.

2000-paul-the-apostle-1

When we tap into the scriptures we read how the early Church gathered from house to house, how the Apostles planted (discipled) teachers, evangelist, prophets and pastors (elders) and then moved onto the next home to reproduce. You can visibly see the “Gifts” of the Spirit operating in each group. Were they perfect? No, yet today we have their mistakes to learn from and with a greater understanding of the Pauline revelations he received through Holy Spirit. One can see where there was Unity, the Glory of the Lord was present. Unity comes when a group of people are of one-mind and who are seeking to glorify the Lord and not worried about who is the leader, how they are going to pay the mortgage, who is going to do this and do that. In fact, they were not worried about the government of the world or the culture around them because they all knew that they were commissioned to represent the Kingdom government of Jesus and to release the culture of the Kingdom, being an influence of grace & love rather than being influenced by greed and immorality.

We know from scripture that when they gathered it was centered around Jesus, often with songs, praise and worship along with teaching. (Col 3:16). More than likely, upon a deep study of the scriptures and what scholars state, their meeting consisted of worship, practice of Spiritual gifts, teaching, prayer, fellowship, the Lord’s supper and Baptism.

We know based on historical facts that most homes were in fact apartments for the most part consisting of one or two rooms there were however a few that may have owned a single home structure yet this was not the norm in that day. Of course, back then a whole family lived there and often even sons with their wives. A custom unlike what we in America are accustomed to although in recent years because of economic hardships it is be coming a not so uncommon practice here. So more than likely these groups were not larger than 15 to 20 persons which then would break off to form another group, yet they were still connected in one form or other.

Upon images-10studying the house meeting structure of the New Testament, many are amazed at how fast Paul developed leaders. Of course, upon reading scripture we find than generally the person who opened their home were considered leaders and others blossomed around them.

Paul speaks of this in first Thessalonians 5:12-13, yet he does not attach “titles” to them. Again, we see that leadership pretty much developed organically.

Now, nowhere in the New Testament can one find a picture that closely resembles any of the fully developed systems at play in the main stream Church today. Back then “Church” government was not highly developed, and the local gatherings were a rather loosely knit group. These small gatherings did however exist side-by-side with other house groups. We can pretty much gather from the scriptures that these believers saw themselves as part of a greater city-wide family of believers. Ministry from these groups was fluid and dynamic. Members were encouraged to experience their spiritual gifts for the common good of the Body, and leaders operated as gifted men and women. This led to many opportunities for ordinary people to develop into leaders. (Rom 12:6-8; 1 Cor 12:8-10, 27-28)

hqdefault-3I believe that even as we see more and more open verbal and legal attacks against the Church and Christians in America and abroad, if one is truly tuned into what the Spirit is speaking, they to shall find the Father calling the Bride to journey back in time to apply the values and ministry practices found in the New Testament. While house to house ministry might look different today, many of the same Biblical principles apply and will help us to not only begin to disciple others, who go on to disciple others, we will also see the body coming back into unity and with that the Glory of the Lord shall once again be seen across this nation and through-out the world. Even if it is a remnant that begins, the fire will spread even as did through the first century Church.

Again,  I believe I have heard and learned through Holy Spirit in scripture as well as to what I have personally witnessed, this is what a Kingdom meeting does look like. Let us pray that the Bride awakens in this generation in this hour for His purpose.

I will be writing more on this topic in the coming months and welcome anyone else’s thoughts and insight as well.
