There needs to come a time when you are done with the ritual of our western church culture. How many Bible studies does one need in order to walk the thing out? We are forever learning yet never coming into the knowledge of Christ Jesus…

While we continue to gather and study, Christ yearns for us to put into action His Word. The disciples did not wait until they were schooled, knew everything, or received a seminary degree. They dropped their nets immediately and followed Christ.

If there is no living for Christ perhaps we just live for Church? The NT church was a moving church. House to house, city to city….faith in action….doers of the Word.

They were known as troublemakers to the religious sect…trust me it will knock at your own door when you surrender wholeheartedly to Jesus. They came up against the establishment to bring truth that others were blinded to. Certain of their knowledge and certain of their “right-ness.” Sound familiar?

Today we fill pews with hearts purposed by Christ. Gifted  by God to push back darkness and move forward the Kingdom. Are you satisfied with what you see in our gatherings? I am not. We ought to be turning the world upside down.

There is coming a stripping of all that has been built on a shabby foundation. The wind of His Spirit will blow away every false teaching, erected idol, and misplaced priests. All things man-made will fall.

But in His great mercy will come a remnant. A Joseph Company who has been hidden in pits and prisons for 20 plus years. Overlooked. Ignored. Rejected. Mocked. But entirely His.

They will carry the fire of God and become known as disrupters of the status quo. Their greatest fight will not be with the world but with the “church.”

The prophets are coming out of their caves to proclaim His heart and reveal hidden sin. They have been prepared through great trials to reckon with principalities in high places. Their voices will cut to the bone convicting men of false Christ-likeness. Where Jesus has been sorely misrepresented, they will be sent to make things right. To do justice and love mercy.

This remnant will turn over dormant fields that have been deceived by the enemy and thru the power of the Holy Spirit they will unchain the daughters and sons of God.

Dead bones will live again. Resurrected lives will come forward, and the body of Christ will return to her purpose on the earth. But it will not be without a painful awakening of hearts.

Whatever is exalted above Christ Jesus- Be it doctrines of man, wealth, positions and titles, relationships, reputation, and brand building ministries….they will be pulled down as were the altars of Baal.

May the cleansing come nigh…
