The American church is too busy trying to recreate that which is of the past.
When we look at the scriptures, we find that God says “I AM”, not “I was” or “I will be”. (Exodus 3:14, John 8:58)
What does that tell us? It tells us that God is continuously in the present. When we go to Him, He never speaks about the former. In fact, there are multiple scriptures that reference not looking back or reflecting on that which is old. (Isaiah 43:18-19, Luke 9:26, 2 Corinthians 5:17).
So why are we trying to recreate Azua Street, Brownsville, or Toranto? Why are we looking at the past to create the future?
America will not see the revival that man dreams and hopes for. America in majority has not repented for its deep iniquities, murders, greed and pride. But more importantly, we seem to not want to face the fact that we are at the end of the age, and that which was written in the beginning MUST come to pass. We cannot change or pray away governmental prophecy.
The truth is that in this season, the Lord is creating an oasis in the midst of deserts, watering wells, for those who truly thirst for that which is righteous, holy and pure. And this will be established for those who do not seek a title nor a platform. He is raising those who bear only His name; those who are willing to go to the highways and byways and declare that the Day of the Lord is at hand.
He will not use those who seek luxury, big buildings, the newest technology, or great lots. He will not raise up those who are concerned with numbers, ratings, or how others perceive them.
We will not conquer seven mountains to usher in the coming of the Lord. This is a lie, not bound by scripture, but by the lust for power in men’s hearts.
In the last days, the Lord is raising an army, a church of Philadelphia; a remnant of men, women, and children of all tongues, colors, and nationalities who have not built their treasures in this dimension, and who love not their lives even into death. These are the overcomers that will be anointed with a power and might that the modern church has never seen. The latter will be greater than the former.
The church of Jesus Christ is not a building, a denomination, nor a country. It is a movement of people across the planet, unified under one Lord, one Faith, and one Baptism. This is the church that the gates of hell will not prevail against. And this church (the true Bride) has already been chosen.
We are in a season of executing the instructions of the Lord. Are you a sheep or are you a goat?
Shabbat Shalom.
