What if the Church structure and hierarchy was not almost an exact replica of that of the world? What if we actually looked for Jesus in the scripture rather then trying to write ourselves into it? What if our place of sustenance was our local church...and our spiritual leaders were pastors, elders and teachers instead of singers and musicians? 

I pray that, in the church we would stop looking to people; in the Body, we would stop making celebrities; in God’s House we would stop trying to build man’s Babel.

Is it just me, or is the Church starting to look like a pyramid - with big names at the top…and everyone else at the bottom? Church is not supposed to be a reflection of the world. We are supposed to look like a community…a Body - with Christ as the ONLY Head…where we all need each other in order to properly function. When we don’t function like this, is when the Body gets sick.


Are we not supposed as Christians, to look to Christ and His Word FIRST?…not to the latest word from the “prophet” or the newest revelation from the “apostle”. This is a form of idolatry and is causing a sinful stain in the Body of Christ. 


This has been weighing on my spirit for a very long time…a Tower of Babel has been inadvertently built in God’s House…largely through the elitist and worldly practices of what has been coined the New Apostolic Reformation*, and through man-made ideals like the unbiblical “seven mountain mandate”. However genuine their beginnings, they have become monuments of pride to the glory of man…They have erected a pyramid right there, in the House of God…and these “apostles” and other members of the “five-fold ministry” have placed themselves on the top. 

This is one of America’s most dangerous exports to the global Church…it is bringing a terrible reproach on the Name of the Lord, and causing many to fall away. 

And still…”If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (2Chronicles7:14)


Just as a final note: If Church were a pyramid structure, where would Jesus Christ be? - Read Ephesians 2:20. We’ve got it all upside down and we need to set it right.

Ch.14 The Unraveling to the End

  Isaiah 52:7 This picture - taken from the movie “ War Games ”, is as close as I can get, to describe the John 12:24 glory over the nations: the overlapping and arching lines are the Body of Christ as we go out to preach the Gospel; the dark background is the evil of the anti christ regime and the white orbs are literally bright white explosions, representative of both Salvation and martyrdom : because in the days I was looking at here, there would not be one without the other. These two things went hand in hand! “ Now   is   my   soul   troubled .  And   what  shall   I  say ?  ‘ Father ,  save   me   from   this  hour ’?  But   for   this  purpose   I   have   come  to  this hour .   Father ,  glorify   your  name .”   Then   a   voice   came   from   heaven :“ I   have   glorified   it ,  ...

Ch.13 The Unraveling ~ Part III

I saw a world without borders: As if all borders between nations (at least, borders as we understand them to be)  had been dissolved  - the anti-Christ system had seen to that…but of course, the Lord was way ahead of him and using it for His purpose and His glory.   I knew that the unraveling was not going to stop until the End. And it would end in the very place where the Gospel first began: Israel   ~ see previous chapter. i To Every Nation And this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached throughout the world, as a witness to all nations and then the end will come…Matthew 24:14 {From  Kim Clement vision ~ “The Resurrection”: see prefix to ch.3 “Last Call” Kim Clement: “Everybody SHOUT!…there’s a victory!…Shout and clap your hands!” This one final surge against the darkness…God’s “Last Call”…seemed to penetrate everywhere…people started rushing from all over…every tribe and people…even unto the farthest islands of the sea…through the Door that is Christ…and whi...

Ch.8 ~ The Love of a Motley Crew

~From now on, whenever I write “the clock was ticking” or words along that line, I am referring to the winding down of the time of the Gentiles spoken of by Paul in Romans 11:25 - and the lead up to “ Jacob ’s trouble”, spoken of in Jeremiah 30:7 (which I believe to be the (7) or 3 1/2 years of great tribulation) *With regards to the differing views on eschatology, I can only write what I saw, enforcing it, as best I can, with the Word of God. You the reader, may or may not agree.* ~~~ {In 1607, landed at Cape Henry, Virginia and surrounded by a motley crew of sailors, ex-criminals and prospectors, the Rev. Robert Hunt kneels under a seven foot cross, brought with him from England and prays the following: “Father, we come to you in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ our Savior to dedicate this land to the glory of God…Father in Heaven, we consecrate this Cross.   We consecrate ourselves to the Great Commission, making disciples of all the people of this new land.   We consecr...
