Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. (Matthew 26:41)
“If we maintain apostolic systems without apostolic order, we soon discover that our problem remains one of leadership. Do we who participate in the apostolic arrangement with spiritual consumerism as an organizational factor, and the burnout bubble that comes with it, settling for apostolic recognition as a goal more than apostolic order as a kingdom cultural norm? Do we become spiritual clearinghouses, serving the whole from outside the system like merchant banks of mammon, as the processors of ministry transactions despite our knowledge that these dynamics actually are the bigger parts of the problem?” ~Dr. Don Lynch
These are questions regarding Kingdom expansions as to whether they are of men or the Son of man, Jesus Christ. There was a season in my life when I desired to be on top of the leadership chain, aspiring to have a huge title and mega list of devoted followers. That is until Holy Spirit placed those desires under the microscope of the Light and on the scales of Kingdom Truths.
When Holy Spirit began revealing to me how the roots of such a desire came from the father of lies, I began to see where I had strayed from my spirit man being seated with Christ in the position of dominion over my soulish man, allowing myself to chase after the tempting carrot of fame. I had failed to bring these desires under the obedience of Christ. He then proceeded to show me that in order to obtain such a level of leadership to satisfy that prideful hunger of my soulish man, it would ultimately cost me my own soul.
But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled, and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. (Matthew 23:11-12)
As I was led by the Lord into spending several months in the posture of repentance, He began to seat me in scriptures such as this one in Matthew for days at a time, taking me deeper and deeper into the Kingdom truths Jesus was teaching His disciples. And the deeper I went, the clearer and uglier I found the images my self-centered desires had become.
Ultimately it ended up being a time of great freedom for me as this spiritual journey hadn’t just exposed the roots of disappointment, rejection, and bitterness that had secretly grown from the dark seeds of unforgiveness, that had been planted early in my life, it literally brought me to the pace where I could renounce those places and surrender them to the governing authority found in the Lordship of Holy Spirit, submitting my inner man to the government of the Kingdom.
I came to understand that soil of such deception had been cultivated by the “orphan spirit”, through a spiritual door that had been opened granting the enemy access to my emotions during the early impressionable stages of my life ( I was 3 years old) that had been rocked by the divorce of my parents which sent me along with two of my siblings into several years of going from one family to another pretty much as inconvenient orphans.
Now, before my marriage, I had attended the cleansing stream ministry, and then after being married for a couple of years, I went through that same ministry only this time it was cleansing stream 2.0. This occurred through the teachings of Dr. Don, who had spiritually modified the cleansing stream model and birthed the powerful ministry called “Freedom Ministry”.
However, as Holy Spirit began to take me back, I saw that I was not completely honest regarding certain secret closets that contained my emotions. Whether intentionally or unintentionally I am not sure, but I do know that this was revealed to me and I became more aware of the enemy’s schemes when iI started counseling others who suffered emotional trauma. It was during this time that Holy Spirit began to show in me greater detail that there is a tendency to bury our emotions, hiding them as though the situations which caused them never happened, in an attempt to not feel the pain.
He then showed in vivid examples that this is merely an evil scheme of the devil to hold his victims prisoner to their emotions. However, the Good News is that when we turn them over to the Lord, He does not remove those memories, but what He does is what I have learned to explain as “changing the decorations or surroundings” of those mental rooms that house those memories like changing the paint, and furniture in a house. In doing so He removes the pain and replaces it with supernatural healing bombs of comfort and peace.
For his anger endures but a moment; in his will is life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. (Psalm 30:5)
Once we have been liberated from those spiritual prisons we are seated in positions that allow us to rescue others who are trapped in their past, showing them how powerful the key of forgiveness truly is. In this healing process regarding my own life, Holy Spirit was able to bring me to see the revelation of Christ in Psalm 30:5, for He (The Lord) was angered at what the spirit of divorce did to our family, especially the children.
Yet in His wisdom, He knows that the only way for us to battle these spirits is by shining the Light of the Father’s love on them, for in the Father’s love for all of us, is hidden what I call, Spiritual Bunker bombs that with Holy Spirit lazer percission, go to the depths of the where these emotions roots start, anchoring in place the emotional strongholds of the enemy and completely destroys them. These are followed by more supernatural weapons that rather than cause destruction, are designed to bring forth the establishing of Kingdom fortifications of Joy, Peace, and Love. All of which the enemy has no power to overcome.
These interactions of Holy Spirit have radically changed my life and ministry. No longer do I desire to build anything out of my own will, for I am fully satisfied in the building of all that the Father directs me to build.
One other thing to note is that I can tell you in all honesty ever since my encounter with the Lord in 2016, as well as a follow-up encounter in 2022, it has been clear that ever since He created man in the garden, the Father’s desire has always been to build a family in which He can fellowship with and love on.
Now to the next point, many do not perceive that many of the Churches in our day, are not what the Lord intended at the birth of His New Covenant Ekklesia. I am not talking necessarily about the physical brick and mortar structures, although many do worship the “Building” over the Lord. Nor am I necessarily talking about how the dynamics of an Ekklesia family gathering should be, while at the same time, I am under heavy conviction that every Kingdom-ordained family gathering must be one that is totally surrendered to the Lordship and governing authority of Holy Spirit.
As well, the idea that there is to be “no” leadership is as crazy as building a house with no doors or windows to enter into it. The dynamics of a family are structured around Heaven’s leadership design, which is why the devil is so intent on destroying the family by removing the dad or mother or even worse both.
In this hour I am seeing and hearing about true Kingdom family appearing around this nation and in the nations. I am hearing the prophets of the Lord speaking specifically about this. Holy Spirit is restoring the foundation of family within the Ekklesia. I know that due to bad theology, men as well as women have grossly taken advantage of the “fathering and mothering” aspect within the Lord’s Ekklesia. Thus, people have had the tendency to look at it through the lens of negativity, yet it is clearly described in the scriptures, even if it may not directly say “Spiritual fathers and Spiritual mothers”.
I can tell you in my own conversation with the Lord as well as what I have been hearing the prophets of the Lord saying, that the oil of His presence due to His radical love for His Bride, has up to this point, maintained many of these man-built enterprises is now coming to an end (Matthew 25:1-13). No longer will Heaven’s Spiritual oil keep the flames of His presence burning in these illegitimate dens led by concubines (False Bride). Many such models have merely been built to lift up individual names (names of their founders) as being great, all the while being maintained via the fleecing of the Lord’s sheep.
These religious machines are built to play on the emotions of the people, hyped up with big sound and Vegas-styled performances, giving the illusion of the Kingdom atmosphere but in reality, they are modeled after a demonic contrived industry that seeks to replace Kingdom exploits with worldly entertainment, or one could say a “spiritual Disney world” that replaces the authentic adventures and beauty found in the Lord’s nature with memories built around fantasies.
I know we have entered a season of intense shaken that the Father has purposed and I truly believe part of that is going to full back the sheets of deception that the spirit of religion has held so many covered by. It is part of the separation of the sheep and goats referenced in scripture.
Everything that is authentic Kingdom shall be held in place, however, those things which are not authentic Kingdom shall be shaken, with some foundations completely being destroyed and some under the restraints of mercy, some walls will be torn down as well as having their foundations being cracked, exposing them for what they truly are.
The chains are being removed, His Remnant is rising and His Ekklesia is being spiritually reset to operate according to the Father’s design and plan. The season of the advancement of the realms of darkness is about to be turned around to where we are going to witness an explosion of Kingdom advancements that are designed to spread the Knowledge of the Glory of the Lord to the ends of the Earth. The Gospel shall be proclaimed to every nation, throughout every tribe, and in every language!!!
