Two
things are going on right now in the Kingdom of God. Both are equally important, and unless a
person gets a revelation of them, they are going to find themselves left
behind. The first thing that is going on
is the Holy Spirit is correcting the Church.
By convicting individuals, the Holy Spirit is making the Church fit to
move the Kingdom of God forward. The
other thing that is going on is a rallying of troops. God wants us to work together as one body to
fulfill His calling. I believe that these
two things are key to the next move that God wants to do here in the United
States.
Christian means Christ like. This means that to be called a Christian is
to live a life as Christ did. There is a
difference between just being saved and actually being Christ like. Most people do not have a grasp of the
perfect life that Christ lived. How is a
person to be like Jesus if they do not know how he lived? This is why Pastor Mitch spent several months
covering the names of Jesus and trying to get the congregation to understand
His life and how He lived. The methods
and order in which we are being taught is intentional, and it is going to be
difficult to move on without getting a full understanding in an area. If you have not gotten a revelation of the
life of Christ yet, I would strongly suggest that you go back to it until you
do. Read and meditate on the book of
Mathew and ask the Holy Ghost to help you understand the life of Jesus.
Once
a person begins modeling their life after Christ (2 Peter 1:5),
others will begin to see the blessings on their lives. This will spark a natural curiosity which
will draw them in. Once drawn in, it is
our responsibility to give God the glory so that He can begin to do with them
what He did with us. By modeling ourselves
after Christ and allowing Him to perfect us, we will be on our way to Mount
Zion as a body. Much like the military
trains everyone the same for a common goal, the body of Christ must be trained with
the same goal in mind. As it currently
stands, God’s people do not agree on how people are to be trained, how people
are to live, how people are to worship, ect.
With that said, there is no way that we have the same goal in mind. The only concept that Christians generally
agree on is that accepting Jesus is the way to God, but there is no consensus
on how to live or how to have a relationship with the Father. Jesus was our example of how we are to reside
on Earth. By actually learning how He lived
his life, we too can have the same relationship with the Father, and as a
result of that relationship, we will have the same goals that he does.
In Matthew 6:31 we are instructed to
seek the Kingdom of God first. By
pursuing the righteousness of Christ and working together to pursue the desires
of God, Jesus will shine through us so that the Jewish nation will be awakened
to the truth. What many do not
understand is that the Jewish nation takes their beliefs very seriously. They are diligent to learn the Torah, and
many spend their lives preparing themselves for the coming of Christ. There is no way they are going to follow
Christians if we continue to fit God into a time slot and only call on Him when
the shovel we dug our hole with breaks.
We are called to be the head and not the tail, above only and not
beneath. This means that we are to be
leaders, not living day to day wondering what our purpose is. If we are to lead God’s chosen people into
righteousness, we need to first seek the path of righteousness both as
individuals and as a body. If the Jews
were to realize the Truth today, do you think they would be interested in
joining Christians? No, all they are
going to do is split, but if the Christians have set themselves apart from the
rest of the world as we are called to do, the Jewish people will see God in our
lives and they will want what we have.
