Ya’ll. How are we going to handle the rise of the anti Christ and the end of the world if the body of Christ keeps playing around slapping itself and seizing out like someone poured a box of itching powder all over it?!
There’s a false one world religion that’s coming speaking unity and all roads leading to the same destination. There’s an anti Christ coming and false prophets that are spreading the wrong gospel. A different Jesus. This is what we are up against. Not one another.
Are we cultivating the character of Christ?!
Here we are acting like we are tearing down the spirits of religion and attacking principalities, yet we let offense and suspicion tear down the very thing the Lord is calling to be built up in this time for this era?!
You want to know why generations are being lost to agnosticism, satanism, and other religions??? LOOK IN THE MIRROR.
The Pharisee’s were suspicious of Jesus.
If we can’t come together as a body of true believers seeking to live like Christ and model the true gospel, one where each part of the body functions independently at the leading of Jesus as the kingdom moves forward giving all glory to God; then what are we even doing?
It’s time to take the soap opera out of the church and burn it on the altar. It’s time to become who you are called to be in Christ. It’s time to do what you’re called to do and to do it well as led by the Lord through the gift of His Holy Spirit.
Why can we not see that people grow in this walk, that life happens, that attacks from the enemy happen, and sometimes it’s just the unfortunate timing of the physical and spiritual worlds colliding, or reaping the destruction we have sown over the years. How can you look at another persons life or decisions or ministry and dare speak about someone at all without knowing the intentions of their hearts?
Do we not realize that in what the Lord is building there are going to be variants? People of different ages, walks of life, backgrounds, levels of education, issues, sins, families, struggles, gifts, skills, personalities, talents, levels of sanctification and consecration; and that everyone matters just the same. No one is forsaken. The last shall be first. We are to be united in spirit and in truth.
Do we not realize that in this world we will deal with loss, sickness, disease, death, destruction, divorce, gain, birth, marriage, adoption, healing, life, health, and creation? All in our own individual ways?
People look at Christianity and think why would I want to be like them when they don’t even like one another? Look at Daystar, look at this fall over here, this scandal over there, don’t listen to this one or that one. False. False. False.
If we would all be on our faces and in that word being led by the Lord, we wouldn’t encounter half the stuff we do, and we would have the wisdom, revelation, healing, deliverance and unveiled vision to think, react, and speak clearly.
In prayer we would find the Fathers answers to respond to one another in a way that builds up without tearing down in the same way He convicts without condemnation. We need His vision of every situation not ours.
The body is out of wack because the foot is over at a hand conference getting a mantle. We are destined for death when the eyes look for skin imperfections all over the body instead of focusing ahead. We are starving when the elbow refuses to work with the hand to bring food to the mouth because it wants to have a voice. We are tripping over ourselves because the left foot doesn’t like the right foot’s “vibes”.
Jealousy, offense, suspicion, false identity, and walking outside of our individual callings is tearing down the body before anything can be built up.
Stop it!
Can the body of Christ save you? No. It’s our individual relationship with Jesus that saves us. But can one person build a church, start a food drive, begin a movement, or do anything at all without other people coming in along the way?! No! We need one another. Healthy. Healed. Whole. Sent. In Jesus mighty name.
We are entering a season for the Lord to rebuild everything that has survived the shaking. To solidify foundations and move forward. Don’t miss it. Be a part of it. The body needs you!
1 Corinthians 2:10-16
10 these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. 11 For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. 13 And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.
14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. 15 The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. 16 “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
Matthew 3:7-11
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bear fruit in keeping with repentance. 9 And do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,’ for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. 10 Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
11 “I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
2 Timothy 3 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. 6 For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, 7 always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. 9 But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.
All Scripture Is Breathed Out by God
10 You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, 11 my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra—which persecutions I endured; yet from them all the Lord rescued me. 12 Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13 while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it 15 and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
