A word and Wisdom: The church at large cannot walk with you. It will not turn as quickly as you did. A large group turns slowly. But God’s vision for you is to be walked out in this day, not off in the never-never land of the millennium. Most of the church is trapped in self-propagating self-help groups. They spend all their time on building programs instead of living for Jesus in the moment. Few of them would ever follow the Spirit into the wilderness-but that is where you know you learned to know Jesus so well. (selah)
Just beyond the activity of church there is a kingdom awaiting. It is so powerful that to obtain it is to get understanding of the real mysteries of the ages. Many good hearted churchmen await the rapture. But it has already come to you. You have been lifted up beyond the candlestick realm to the place of a rapturous joy of your soul. It is a joy that others do know nothing of. You eat a holy bread they do not know of. You drink from the cup of the Master.
Now, the church seems to you, a bit like show business. It is a place to entertain people. It is a place that operates through fence laws, which are in effect, men's attempt to keep each other from backsliding. It is a place that does not require daily repentance. It is not kingdom.
The kingdom is God’s government in you. His Spirit is the resident governor of your life. You have order in fullness to the degree you agree with the Spirit. The Spirit is your best lover. He takes you to places man cannot. He has shown you the evil that must be overcome in the church realm and in the realm of government. To do this you just walk with him. Any ministry plans you have made are subject to change, at His leading.
If you have begun to see the new order in the Spirit, you know that He also gives with that vision, a call to bring it forth. You are to establish the order of God's glory where ever you go. To reach that God goal, walk with the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is order. Much of the church thinks He is a stranger that visits from time to time to give them goose bumps, or ten minutes of carpet time.
No He is God. Walk on in the order of His glory. Faith is the overcoming victory. The Spirit is the overcoming power. The Word is Truth. Be FREE! Each choice you make is an agreement with His divine order for your life, or agreement with a substitute.
Adam and Eve saw all that God had given them in creation, yet thought they needed to improve on His plan. NO, we tend the garden He has prepared for us. That is all.
Lord give us clarity on Your call, on our life.
