The Church Then-The Church Now
For years it seemed like the Lords response to those in leadership was almost always patience, give them time for them to understand. To understand the Kingdom of God, the Word says we have to become like a child, or innocent as a child
Mark 10:15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
Thus, for a Christian to understand ‘or to seek ye first the kingdom of God’ they have to apply the ‘other first’ in the Word…in order to become innocent as a child.
Matthew 22:37-38 Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.
If we in the church are not surrendering ‘every area’ of our lives to Him (loving the Lord with ‘all our heart’), taking our ‘junk’ and replacing it with the Lords presence (abiding in Him Jn. 15:7) –His sanctification process will never be established to purify our hearts. Our spirit will not become clear and pure like a child. We will not be able to see and understand the process of the Kingdom of God…or His last great call to the church,- to bring down His kingdom to earth.
Thy Kingdom comes (now-present tense) to establish Your will on earth as it is in heaven Mat. 6:10 (literal translation from the Greek)
Note: This purification process in ongoing…until we meet Him Face to Face. (Phil. 3:12, 1 Cor. 13:12)
Psalm 18:26 to the pure you show yourself pure
It is worth mentioning again…
Mark 10:15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
Fast forward to today. When some of the the brothers and sisters discussed the prophetic word for today, we made an interesting discovery. The Prophetic Word for our current church is not about prophecy! The prophetic word for today is about proclaiming the heartbeat of Jesus! The heartbeat of Jesus is shouting….Now is the time to bring in the Kingdom of God and to start the final call to the church, His great City (singular) on a Hill or remnant church.
Revelation 19:10 … for the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy.
What is coming from the heart of the Lord is proclaimed on earth-the testimony of Jesus. Whether it is an encouraging word, or correction from Him, or a future revelation fulfilled by the Word-it all starts and ends from the Holy Spirits voice from the Lord-the Spirit of prophecy.
Those that are hearing from the Lord (multiple witnesses given below) are voicing the same thing.
A line has been drawn in the sand…the time in NOW! We are to be united in Spirit, the Light of the world. The city on the mountain is one city lifted up and connected to the Lord.
A Unified Spirit of Prophecy
Those witnesses hearing from Him are united. The ones shouting His prophetic voice, whose lives display humility and the fruit of the Spirit are proclaiming the same massage. When we stand before the Lord we will not be able to hide from the truth (especially those in America) …saying we were not aware of His final great call to unite the church. To take if from a mustard seed to the glorious City on a mountain connected to Him, a light to the world (Mark 4:30-32, Mat. 5:14).
I believe with all my heart that from this day forward.. this season on….He is saying to each and every Christian…decide…what side of the line will the we be on. The Lord is fulfilling His promise to unite the church as one. There is a move of the Spirit to purify the church into one body (scriptures given below). The isolated community church that does not enter into this move of the Spirit will be left behind and not abide in the Lords final call.
He has not made this complicated. The church on good ground (Mat. 13:8), the mustard seed remnant church (that will grow and accomplish glorious things) (Mat. 13:31-32), the church that is awake (1 Thes. 5:5-6) and the Light of the World church (Mat. 5:14) are all one in the same.
The Word says we shall know them by their fruit.
Matthew 7:16 From their fruits ye shall know them;
When the Lord calls the church out to join this group, this also will not be complicated.
If we are truly broken before Him, seek Him with all our heart-we will know the remnant Christians and the remnant church immediately. There will be a heavenly excitement when we meet…a holy genuineness about them. Because they are awake, they will be hearing the same direction from the Lord. Like the 2 boats that met Jesus on the sea of Galilee, they will know who are on the shore with them (hearing the very words of Jesus) and who has decided to stay away…still out at sea (Lk 5:2). Those that are heeding His calling for this City on a Hill, the Lord will be pleased with them and a great anointing will ignite in their midst.
This is where the great divide will start. The line in the sand, the Glorious City on a Mountain set apart from those holding on to the traditions of the organized church (as many in the Jewish community rejected the New Testament church).
Those who are truly remnant, (mustard seed church Mark 4:30-32) will usually know instantly whether their pastor (leadership) is receiving this truth or rejecting it.
Yes, there was a season of patience, but as the word, prophets and pastors mentioned below have stated, the time of waiting is over. There is no more hiding in church waiting for His bride to decide. He will start with an intense conviction to make a choice. If you truly want to follow His great last call and be part of His holy city on a mountain…a simple prayer will reveal to you whether leadership is in or out. Show them the remnant church in the word and the testimony of the prophets and pastors mentioned below. In almost all cases, I believe the Lord will show you whether they are receiving this Word from the Lord…or rejecting it-hanging on to the traditions and the praises of men. He has given them decades to decide…He will usually make it black and white for you. He will show you that the great calling and remnant people are separating themselves for the organized church…for now…getting out of Egypt into the desert…to worship with the Lord and those who hear from Him. They will be His last day powerful army…those talked about since the creation of His church
Isaiah 42:9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
Ephesians 5:27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
Revelation 12:9-11 The great dragon was hurled down..or Satan, who leads the whole world astray… They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. The saints, working with the Lords angles (vs. 7-8) overcome Satan and bring him to earth for his pending judgment from the Lord Rev. 20:1. See Mat. 11:12, 24:14
He will follow this conviction with a shaking, correction and purification of the church,
1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God:
Ephesians 5:27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
Matthew 24:21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.
See Day of the Lord Rapture, Rev. 3:10.
Starting today, this season, many of us believe each and every Christian will have to decide if they want to remain planted in church as usual, or reach out to the Lords final call-His church on good ground (Mat. 13:8). The Lord is calling us out to His radiate church, His bride (Eph. 5:27). The two separate churches will literally be black and white in His eyes. The world will be entering a time of trials as never before (Mat. 24: 21). We will absolutely need to be connected to Him in order to remain faithful.
Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.
On a personal note, He has shown me a church on a mountain divided by a great earthquake. The church that denied His last great call, not truly connected to Him crumbles to pieces.
This decision to be ‘called out’ to His holy remnant will take sacrifice. So many in American churches seem to be hanging on to family and friends in the traditional church. We have to be willing to surrender to His call-even if others are blinded to this great move of the Lord. If we don’t stay ‘connected’ to Him, our light and anointing will fade. If that happens, we simply cannot show others His glory and direction for the church.
Luke 14:26 If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
We know from the Word the Lord desires to love your family. (Ex. 20:12, Prov. 22:6, Prov. 127:3-5) What He is teaching us is-if we have to chose between our family (along with the traditions of our church..our friends) and His great call, like those when He came the first time… we must chose Him. If we are unwilling to seek a remnant church now because of family or friends, it will be even harder later when persecution arises. If He is pulling us now and we refuse, we will continually slip into a darker realm of disobedience. The Word says be awake when He comes, so we won’t miss out on His calling and protection for us.
Romans 13:11 And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we first believed.
In other countries, choosing the Lord over family and friends has cost them their lives.
For us to be able to withstand the future events…to bring His kingdom down…we will not need each other, we will need the Lords glory in each other. I am sooo glad the Lord is finally calling the brothers and sisters to make a choice and not hide anymore. We are accomplishing a thousand different things ‘in the name’ of the Lord, but doing very little to be united ‘in the Lord’. He is calling us to be one.
John 17:21-23 that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us: … And the glory which thou hast given me I have given unto them; that they may be one, even as we are one; I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one;
For those who are seeking His remnant church…this is important. There will be an anointing on you now…but I personally believe many of you are frustrated..including myself…why we can’t make it greater now! I believe the Lord is waiting to complete our unity…become as one…and this anointing will explode. I believe this makes us love Him even more. He will not give His greatest portion of heaven until we are in Him and we share this love as a body of Christ
1 John 1:3-4 We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We write this to make our joy complete.
Our joy in the Lord is made full, complete (i.e. Will explode with heavenly glory) when we apply the Lord’s ‘vertical love’ ‘horizontally’ to the church on earth.
The City On the Mountain Will Display His Glory
The ‘markings’ of this radiant church will be exciting. They will joined by the Spirit and not by an orgainization. The Spirit will be soo powerful…those who have sought this will know the difference immediately. Their leader will be the Lord, their pastors will be as true shepherds and their light will identify their membership. Their scope of unity will be the world. For those who will say…the Lord wants our local churches to continue in their same isolated routine….please tell the Lord…
1) We will never be united to become a light to the world, a city (singular) on a mountain
Matthew 5:14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a mountain cannot be hidden.
2) There is not a ‘mustard seed church’ that will grow into a great living tree and connect to the glory of God….it will not be a refuge for those who have an ability to ‘fly above’ in spirit, connected to heaven.
Matthew 13:31-32 He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.”
3) There is not a church that is awake, thus united in Him. Hearing from Him in purpose and in word
1 Thessalonians 5:5-6 You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober.
4) The church will never unite (as mentioned above)-with the His Holy Angles (Rev. 12:7-8) to defeat Satan and bring him to earth…to later be judged by the Lord (Rev. 20:1-2)
Revelation 12:9-11 The great dragon was hurled down..or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, .. They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. See Mat. 11:12, Mat. 24:14
5) The church will never have ‘a unity in Faith and Knowledge’ or we will never be glorious-In Him… in which Christ fullness overflows in us.
Ephesians 4:12-13, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
6) There will never be a united radiant church
Ephesians 5:27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
Note: This unity ‘is not’ churches coming together for a conference, a social gathering or a support group. It is the Lords final great call to the church to be as one, the glorious City that rises to touch Him…a untied body of believers that will be His last day light to the world (Mat. 5:14, Eph. 5:27). The churches will be family members connected to the Lord Himself. They will know each other instantly, because the glory of the Lord will be upon them. They will know dead churches instantly, because their darkness will be exposed.
When the Lord calls the church to be united in His calling and Spirit…those that do not see this calling will think this is a form of division….why are you leaving?
The Lord is simply calling His church from death to life, as stated in the above scriptures…a Radiant church. Eph. 5:27. His intention is not to divide but to bring us to unity in His glory. He desires to have His glory radiate in you…His greatest holy blessing glowing from you, flowing out of you. You will be a light not only to the world but to us. We need this glorious light to help guide each other-to simply share Him as He truly is… His glory manifestation from heaven to earth-the heart of the kingdom message.
Matthew 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. (Bringing the Lords will, purpose and glory to earth…Eph. 4:13 attaining the whole measure the fullness of Christ in the church )
The Lords Direction and Correction for the Church
Is Because He Loves the Church, His Bride
Prov. 3:12, Heb. 12:6
A long time ago…when appropriate… I made a decision to always point to the safety of the Lords covering, protection and purpose for the church. At times, it may not be pleasant- to say…this is the wrong way…go this way…but your protection and safety for you and your family until He arrives has priority in my life. For me not to care about the Lords protection for you and those around you is the ultimate form of disloyalty to you. A true friend will try everything to keep you from driving on a unsafe road of life-the road that can keep His voice from guiding you to safety.
Proverbs 27:6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend;
‘We have to’ get under His covering…there is no other option! Not seeking His City On a Hill-His great call for His remnant church is turning our back on the Lords direction, His covering. If we are obedient, there is a general protection for the end times church…His covering – See Rev. 3:10
The watchman and prophets know they are not always preaching a pleasant message…and many times the church avoids them. What most in the church do not see however are the similar cries they share with the Lord.. when He was with us
Hebrews 5:7 During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.
They share with Jesus a concern for the lost and the church that comes from the Lord above. His compassion in them can be so intense, they ‘have to’ point the church to His way…it is His protection for you!
Luke 13:34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, … how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
I believe these ‘witnesses’ listed below share that same concern for you. In keeping with the testimony of 2 or 3 as stated in the word (2 Cor. 13:1), here are other ministers who are giving the exact same message. To believe that the Lord is not calling out a Holy and pure church, is rejecting not only the scriptures above but also the message from men like David Wilkerson-who dedicated His life to the truth of the Word.
Please use any and all of these references below to try and convict fellow Christians to join His last great remnant church.
If you are in a church that is refusing this call, you can start to be obedient by speaking out to the Lord…
Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue:
John 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
Tell the Lord you desire to be in a remnant church…full of His glory, obedient to His call. Speak this and believe this throughout the day, as you would a healing for the body or a urgent request to the Lord. Right now, most of remnant church is in the desert being prepared…but the Lord is starting to unify them. See Frank McEleny below. I personally am gathering with remnant believers in small groups. They are sooo easily identified. They are the church that is awake, so they are hearing-seeing the same thing. The spirit drops on us when we are together…the Lord gets so excited because we are on in step with the Spirits leading.

1) David Wilkerson on the remnant church and Holy church in the end times
http://1stloveministry.com/the-holy-remnant-by-david-wilkerson/
2) A. W. TOZER PROPHETIC WORD FROM 50 YEARS AGO
“Let me go out on a limb a little bit and prophesy. I see the time coming when all the holy men whose eyes have been opened by the Holy Spirit will desert worldly Evangelicalism, one by one. The house will be left desolate and there will not be a man of God, a man in whom the Holy Spirit dwells, left among them. … I would like to live to see the time when the men and woman of God-holy, separated and spiritually enlightened-WALK OUT of the evangelical church and FORM A GROUP OF THIER OWN ; when they get off the sinking ship and let her go down in the brackish and worldliness and form a new ark to ride out the STORM”
3) Frank McEleny The Fall of Christendom and the Separation of the Remnant’
Chapt 12- I believe with all my heart that God’s remnant children are being raised up all over the world. They are being separated, .. Many of them are in a sort of desert, not of their own choosing, but by the calling of God. In that desert they are learning to depend upon Him entirely so that when the time comes, persecution and so on, that even if none go with them, still they shall follow. (Paul Davis calls them ‘the hidden ones’ )…and simply just cannot do business as usual anymore. This is the process of God calling His own….Yet the Lord has called us to gather together, and all the more as we see that day approach and that is why I believe you will begin and are beginning to see a visible representation of these called out children.
So many folks around the world hearing the exact same things from the Holy Spirit as He calls people out of the systems of men. It is and can be a difficult time in the desert but there we learn to rely on the Lord completely. It is not that we do not need other brothers and sisters, we do and there is always a desperate desire in saints to fellowship, its just that we need to learn to rely on Jesus first and know that even if the whole world were to fall away, we would continue to follow Him! God bless you
