The Kingdom is at Hand

On Church, Kingdom, Judgment, and Power:

We are in a day when men who do evil think they do God a favor.

Jhn 16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

We have come through a time when evil men have worked evil schemes against many of the anointed of God. In the church realm we see that the message of personal prosperity has afflicted the people with an avarice never before seen. This Pride and greed has been passed on. The generation x kid’s have not been the answer the church was looking for. This was not their fault. The message they heard preached is full of bloated man ideas.

The church is Laodocian as it has grown cold to its Lord in the midst of its prosperity. Today’s pulpit messages are full of manipulation and misdirection to cause people to let go of their finances. The generation of Children who are now taking the playing field, watched this manipulation and so greed for money and gain, was ingrained in thier thinking. It shows in much of their efforts. For some, gain not godliness is all they seek.

In the not so distant past Father raised a voice in the land that would have prevented the present state of compromise which has lead to powerlessness. But God’s people drew near to themselves, preachers that would say what they wanted to hear. These itching ears now run the church. Many of the old were more guilty then the young in this. In this, the anointed who would have saved them from becoming evil, was slain.

Why did you not fear to slay the Lord’s anointed?

In 2 Samuel 1, we have the story of King David’s response to the man who slew King Saul. The man thought he had done Saul (the Lord's anointed) a favor. But David was overcome with grief that the kingly ministry of Saul had failed. In righteous judgment he had the man slain.

We have modeled before us a church that is full of its own self. Like Jerusalem it has killed the prophets (and kings). Like Laodicea, its love is cold. It is self-focused and cannot do the will of God without repentance to the kingdom.

The church is under the judgment described in Isa. Chapter 3.

The Lord has taken away the stay and the staff. The wholeness is Gone. There is little water. There is little Love, there is lack in the people both spiritually and physically. Healing is the exception not the rule. Fellowship is tainted with self positioning.

We have children as our princes ruling us. The wise are outcast from the church. The prophet is mocked. The Apostle has no people. How talented this church is. But how lost. Will talent ever replace anointing?

When the church casts out the devil by the finger of God, then you know the kingdom has come. No deliverance, no kingdom.

How long will this Psychologically based church continue in its foolishness? Babylon has been around for a long time. But Babylon is to fall in a day. Pray the day of the Lord comes. Pray this Matrix of deception be rent as a vale.

For if the church humble itself, it will be lifted up. But if it walk on in its pride, it will grow sicker and more full of evil.

If the church repents. Righteous leaders will arise from the ashes and sackcloth. Father has held them in his presence hidden from view. Many of them were outcasts. They have lived in poverty, though they possessed all things. They were sick though they carried healing. They were intercession. They carried in their bodies the dying of the Lord, so that others might live. They knew that because the body was not rightly discerned, many are sick. Without koninia, all is lacking.

It is time.

It is time for the proud to reach out and say, “We need your help.” But they would have to see their works as evil. And they would need to repent.

But will the proud youth, which now lead, do so? Will the itching-eared elders in the church realize that they lack wisdom? Probably not until they realize for all their works, they do not possess peace, joy, or power. The kingdom is righteousness peace and joy, in the Spirit.

Repent, for the kingdom is at hand. This is righteous.
