Lord..forgive me for the delay. It is time and today…I have chosen whom I will serve. Bring yourself glory and reveal that which your Holy Spirit revealed to me on my own personal island of Patmos. For I have seen the God of the Word. You know my heart and to You alone I am accountable…give breath to Your words..redeem the time..restore the former things..open the eyes of the blind. It seems Your heart is seeing blindness in your own people. While we are pointing to others..You are pointing to us…and Your rain of the Spirit is hindered. Have mercy..
If we take an honest look
at the Church of Christ today
We might be very surprised
How much we’ve actually strayed.
If Christ were like the Church
No miracles would be seen
For He would sit in waiting
For the gifted authority.
If Christ were like the Church
Demons would still reside
Inside the temple of men
His responsibility denied.
If Christ were like the Church
The woman at the well
Would never see the Savior
For fear that others would tell.
If Christ were like the Church
Deborah would stand down
For God can’t call a woman
To preside with royal crown.
If Christ were like the Church
David could not be King
For failure would cause a forfeit
Forever of his destiny.
If Christ were like the Church
Nabal may still be dead
But Abigail would be silent
The family slaughtered instead.
If Christ were like the Church
His baptism incomplete
For the dove would not decend
And grant supernatural things.
If Christ were like the Church
The women would not arise
Still stopped inside the court
With callings yet denied.
If Christ were like the Church
Partiality would reign
Rich or poor, woman or man
Lacking “Oneness” that Paul proclaimed.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:28
7“And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ 8“Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give. 9”
Matthew 10:7-8
…2For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and dressed in fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man in dirty clothes, 3and you pay special attention to the one who is wearing the fine clothes, and say, “You sit here in a good place,” and you say to the poor man, “You stand over there, or sit down by my footstool,” 4have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil motives?…
James 2:2-4
