Roll Up Your Sleeves

 

Upon this Rock I have built My Church: upon this Chief Cornerstone, I have laid its foundation, thus creating a well-fortified structure that shall remain standing throughout the generations of man. Though Satan has tried to prevent its spread, the boundaries of My Kingdom continue to expand, for everywhere the Gospel is preached, many more are added to its number.

 

Then like an army who has been given a clear objective, My troops march onward, seeking the lost and those oppressed by the devil, as their standing command is to set free the captives and rescue the prisoners: all those who are bound in chains by the enemy. And while this charge has been given to every soldier who lines My ranks, regardless of their title or position within the current church structure, those who have been given all the authority of Heaven walk with their head down in an attempt to avoid personally interacting with anyone who might be struggling or in need. In a manner similar to an ostrich who sticks its head in the sand so as not to see the trouble all around, so too, have these soldiers put on spiritual blinders to intentionally obstruct their view, for these lack the care and compassion that should be evident in those who follow Me.

 

So while a physical structure is constructed with wood and nails to create a sturdy frame, My House is built with people, those individuals whose lives now stand upon the foundation of My Son. Then to see this divine building project continue requires a laboring force made up of believers who have laid hold of this greater vision, which is: to establish My Kingdom here on the earth. And although the borders of the Church are advancing, yet, how much wider would My territory span if each believer would speak up and share their faith?

 

However, most are content to let their fellow brethren bear the weight of this work without lifting a finger, for they are simply unwilling to become co-labors for the purposes of Christ. And while they believe themselves to be an active part of this Kingdom expansion (because they fill a service role at their local church), this does not fulfill their obligation to the Great Commission.

 

But this has become the common attitude found amongst the general population of My Body, as the central focus of most congregations rests upon the running of their local church services, while just outside their doors, many are perishing: those whom they have been called to seek out and save.

 

Then who is willing to opt-out of this “service project”: this narrower version of being the Church? I tell you, My building plan does not contain walls, and therefore, its reach stretches into every region where mankind is known to dwell.

 

Know this: that it’s not just in some distant land where the lost can be found, for the mission field for most of My children is their local community; the neighborhood where you are planted is the area you have been tasked with building. So roll up your sleeves and get to work, as it’s through the willing hearts of believers just like you that see the furtherance of My Kingdom on the earth.

 

So intercede on behalf of your local community. Then, be watchful, looking for every opportunity to share the Good News of your Savior.

 

“Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” -Matthew 9:37-38

Severe All Ties!

Then to those who claim to be My own, and yet are still tethered to the LGBTQ+ ideology do I say, “Severe all ties! For that perverse ideology runs contrary to the standards of holiness I have established for My Kingdom. Then do not confuse the tolerance of perversity as an act of Christ-like love, for My Son never compromised with evil, but always challenged those He encountered to turn away from their sin and, instead, follow Him wholeheartedly, where their entire life did they surrender to Him.”

You Have Indeed Been Called To Fish!

Therefore do I say to this generation of believers, “Get up out of your seats, and gather your nets, for the fish are biting and you too have been called to fish, for the Great Commission applies to all of My children. So then don’t think yourself unqualified to fish or that the task of fishing belongs to another, for that is simply not true.” Thus do I say, “Stop making excuses as to why you aren’t able to fish. Instead, get up out of your seats and gather your nets.” For I say to you now, “You have indeed been called to fish!”

The Admonition Of The Lord, Who Will Receive It?

The admonition of the Lord, who will receive it? Who will take to heart My words of correction and then amend their ways? Very few, it would appear! Even still do I make My Will known so that none can claim to be ignorant of it. Sadly then are My words of admonition often treated as false or even called demonic by those who refuse to change their ways.

An Abrupt End!

An abrupt end; Marked by failure; Thus shall Trump’s last term in office be remembered. For though he promised much, little of those promises did he actually fulfill regardless of what he claims. Misleading, his words; Deliberately so; For surely did he say one thing while meaning another. Yet did the American people take him at his word, for they thought him to have their best interests at heart.
