Don't Stop at Prophecy.....

building site at dawn

The problem with the prophetic is this....
It's the bottom line.
If God has spoken something, had revealed something...
say in 1973, when He showed us that He was forming brand new churches....
everyone thought we were nuts.
But within months literally God had sent in all the necessary materials for the first stages.....
Juan Carlos Ortiz and Yonghi Cho on Discipleship.... the London Housechurch people and the Fort Lauderdale people....
And so it was the wheels started rolling.
New churches are everywhere now.
But just as the holy place, though necessary, had major incompletion problems..... since it's the Holiest Place where God actually dwells...
And even so it's a matter of history now that heavy handed discipleship is disastrous.... but that isn't what Jesus was practicing.... He was already a thirdlevellers, a 1John2 Father type....
Which wasn't perceived in the Jesus Move.
So with the same authority we know that we know that we know that thirdlevel church is on its way.
But I said the prophetic , being the bottom line, is the problem....
Why?
Because it's not story.
It's not wooing.
It's like Ezekiel 37 dead bones rattling.
Only the second wind makes the thing beautiful, when the Body stands up.
God is about revealing Himself and He is beautiful in all that he does. Under the anointing and with a gift of utterance even the prophetic sounds amazing.... but it is only the prophetic.
God causes the thing to happen. He is the cornerstone. He is the painter in vivid colour. He causes storyline. Everything is in relationship with Him and with one another.
Jesus says if He be lifted up before men then all will be drawn to Him.
Notice there's no choice there..... He is so beautiful all are enthralled, all feel personally drawn.... it's not herd mentality .... it's each individual drawn.
Jesus says we are a Light on a hill.
He says if we walk in the Light as He is in the Light then we have fellowship with one another.
Many in the evangelical and charismatic churches know some kind of touch with the Lord and each other... but that this level of genuine, this intimacy is relatively few and far between. But if we all determine ourselves to walk in His actual Light, rather than shame, we find fellowship with one another in this place.
So while the prophetic is the bare bones, the bottom line....
The genuine working out is the Light on the hill

Life In the Melchizedek Order V - Melchizedek Normality

Did you get the last post?
I've sort of been pondering it ever since. I know I wrote it....but since when does that mean anything? Many are the ministers who don't get what they preach! Ern Baxter used to say he was going to buy the tapes so he could listen to what he had said under the anointing.

Peter clearly never bought his tapes in Acts 2, because his first sermon was clear....this gospel is for everyone! Paul had to fill him in again later.

Listen ! I said the way electrons and all these infinitiscemal particles behave is a picture of the Melchizedek order! But they are not special, freaky once in a lifetime occurrences...they are what you and I call "the material world". When in fact there's hardly anything material there!

This is what I received in my spirit just now as I was rubbing down a piano.

I feel Jesus just said this:
"When I wrote through Paul in 1 Corinthians 14:26 What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church.

This was not a suggestion. This was not a special one off incident.
This was how I run My Church. This is how you learn how to live My normal life which is in the Order of Melchizedek.

For years you have mocked the Anglican church for their liturgy. But you have a liturgy!
Every Hillsongs conference, every new Church, every Rob Rufus Conference has a worship team and liturgy. It is good to have skilled musicians. Anointed musicians.

But don't underestimate Me. I want My church back! Musicians are not some special priesthood class. I arranged for My Church to run on 1 Corinthians 12-14 and I gave very little other details, giving you tremendous freedom. What do You do? Forget the few details I give you, which would ensure you running the church in My order, and invent your own details and wonder why I am not there in Your midst as I should be?"

I now understand with great impact why the worship team here have been feeling so uneasy in the last few months as they have caught something of God's heart on the way meetings are to be run.
