| "Those who hope in the Lord will...soar on wings like eagles" (Is.40:31). |
This is a prophetic word I received from the Lord. It has been judged as from the Lord from several seasoned believers, but as always, judge it for yourselves. May it bring rest to your soul and a view from on high. LL
The church is mine. All mine. My idea, My expression in the
earth, My restoration plan for all humanity.
Men have since the beginning almost always had an idea of what would be
best and how to express what they thought the church should be, beginning with
changing the whole foundational premise of it being a spiritual entity into one
of the earth.
If you take out that which defines what humans have done to
try and advance the cause of My body of people, what have you left? Is it the
book of Acts? Is it what is found in the
Epistles? How many words and idea,
precepts and actions, requirements and expectations, are there that are
supposedly definitive of My church that have nothing to do with Me or My
biblically defined Kingdom?
You ask what needs to be restored before she is the bride
for which Yeshua returns. You wonder what needs restoring. Does that mean adding or subtracting; putting
in or taking out? There is a transition that will, and that
must take place that is both and neither.
It is not what must take place in the doing or saying but in the very
fiber of being of each and every member of My body. It is to become so one with Me that your
every impulse surges with life from above and is so fully God’s that it isn’t
even understandable without the Spirit of God.
The change that must and will take place is not a
replacement of worldliness with godliness but such a substantive[1]
realignment with the heart and purposes of God that today’s present church
vocabulary cannot adequately express it, much less define or envision it.
It will not be intellectual, nor accomplished by the best of
intents of men but will be a matter of my grace entirely and completely; a
transforming of what is for what will be – the material to the spiritual, that
which man is incapable of accomplishing. Only I can do it. Only I can bring it
to pass. The intentions and energies of man cannot. I will have a people wholly
given over to God, through whom only I can and through whom I will bring the
Kingdom of God to full reality.
Note: A short while later the Lord said to me – “The only
thing you can do is to fill yourself with the Word of God and let it do the
transforming.”

ReplyDeleteI belong to Aglow International and we are listening and learning to the teachings of Graham Cooke. We are learning to move away from merely the function of serving God, but to relationship with Him. It is as we fully submit to Him with open hearts that He can do the work of transforming us for His use and His good purposes.
