LET THE CHURCH SAY, "Even So, Come, Lord Jesus".
I see a “Move” of God coming that will be second-to-none.
In this move, the Ministers will be the first to be delivered. They will take off and lay down their masks. They will unsheathe their swords, never to be used on their fellow preachers again. They will open their hearts to worship as David of old. Their vestments will be removed. Their titles will not be spoken of. They will sit and sing among the people, and they will worship as the 24 Elders.
No longer will they be comically caricatured as pimps, potentates or players (read: “playahs”), but as priests, patriarchs and pioneers. They will show more emotion while another is speaking than when they are. Jealousy, pettiness, idiosyncrasies, peeves, emulation and competition will not be named among them.
Regardless of doctrinal differences, they will not be disconnected from their brothers’ struggles or sisters’private pain. Churches will overflow again without control,browbeating, or manipulative tactics of insecurity guised as concern.
The gimmickry of "crowd gathering” will be discarded. God will magnetically draw from unseen places and the remotest parts. Facilities will be shared. Space rented to other ministries as if in a mall. Multiple services being held in one location by different ministries. Start-up churches will be sponsored as if a new baby was born into the family. Pastors will slip into another service before going to their own to receive inspiration and will give generously to help others.
They will trade in their thousand dollar suits for less expensive ones and give the difference to domestic and foreign missions. They will trust their hearts and tell their stories with precision and without pretense.
Elders will be ordained from the youth and the young will return to the fathers. The old will weep while realizing that this is day they saw in their vision, before their strength grew small.
THIS IS THE GLORIOUS CHURCH WITHOUT SPOT OR WRINKLE. I see this in an "open vision". Can you believe God and say, in agreement, "EVEN SO, COME, LORD JESUS!”
