The earth is Splitting Part 3 - A prophetic Word

REGROUPING 
Now is the time for you to regroup.
Go where you are received. It is important for you to do this now.

While you are growing and being established I place you with those who you would not choose to be with to extend you. This is as true in your years in your natural family, as in places of learning,schools and colleges, but there comes a time for you when you MUST be free to exercise who I have really made you.

 It is no honour to you or Me for you to persist in places where you cannot be yourself and who I made you. It is not noble to have your personality,calling, and gifting squashed by people who cannot expand to receive you as yourself.
Now is the time for you to learn a completely new order where you MUST learn who I am in you. I have prepared works for you to walk in from before the foundation of the world.

You Must now learn how my Body functions. This is NOT a sideshow. This is the main "SHOW" in the earth. What happens in my Body happens in the Earth. That which you release shall be released in heaven and earth. That which you bind shall be bound in heaven and on earth.
The Message Ephesians 4:14-16 reads: “No prolonged infancies among us, please. We’ll not tolerate babes in the woods, small children who are an easy mark for impostors. God wants us to grow up, to know the whole truth and tell it in love—like Christ in everything.”

As I said My Body is no sideshow. I insist on the proper functioning of My Body.
”speaking the truth in love, [j]we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together [k]by what every joint supplies, according to the [l]proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.” Ephesians4:15-16
NASV
How can there be a proper functioning if each part is not properly received. My Body is a place where each says of the other “ Blessed is he who comes in the Name of the Lord.”

I remove from you the burden and intercession for the places where you are not received. You are not to fear or be discouraged.

 I am Lord of My Church.

I send out workers and position people by My Spirit. Just as when you leave your natural family to go out into the world this does not mean you never see your family again. It does not mean all ties are broken. But what it means is that you seek out a place where you can be you and function in the way I have prepared for you. In the future when you return, everyone will relate to each other as mature individuals in My Son. To maintain false relationships is actually to hold a cork in a bottle. In the movement and the restructuring everyone will actually grow more, not less. I cannot bless flesh relationships and flesh structures. By letting them be revealed, you are actually doing no more than removing a plaster that has been too long on a wound, and healing actually accelerates with access to fresh air.

I call those who hear to a totally new order and a totally new realm of authority. For many years I have warned you from the prophets that I am doing a new thing and many of you have assumed I was talking about the movings of the Spirit to which now you have become accustomed. But now as a mother bird stirring up the nest, I seek to underline what I have said to you....New means New. No church anywhere at anytime has walked in the paths I am now leading you on. It really is an Unknown Way. But MY Spirit shall lead you into all truth, and many of these ways have been inert in your heart for years, and will only be confirmed by my future ways with you.

You have caught glimpses of what My Church is. You have tasted at large gatherings something of My true Church, but now I stress you will walk all the time as My Church in My Name. I separate you unto Me. I call You out unto Me.

You have heard My Son say the fields are white unto harvest but I would not allow you to go directly into the fields, but I gave you strict commandment to pray to the Father that He send out workers into the harvest. Even so as a first stage I send you now to each other and you will experience such an acceleration of growth that you will have liberty to share preach and teach the gospel as never before and with an authority that will grab attention.

Love can only flow among such a people that are released to be who they are. A people who are bottled up, afraid, unused, unreceived can never lavish abroad the majesty of my love one to another nor as overspill to a lovestarved world.

The Log In My Own Eye

From a Former leader's Journey

I have no idea where to begin. 

For those of you out of the area you may have heard about the scandal that has rocked Penn State this week. There are men that are very high up in the authority structures of Penn State that have hidden the ugliness of child sexual abuse of one of their own peers/coaches/leaders from the public for years. The sheer scope of this horrendous crime has no words in my vocabulary to describe the ache of my heart as I read the accounts.

But somewhere in the past few days I began to see trigger words that made me wonder even about my own heart. I’m not going to rehash the Penn State story so you may have to read a bit on it to understand what I am saying, but my first thought was this: In being a leader so long at our church am I ultimately no different than the men who failed to report the crimes at Penn State? Now there were no crimes of a sexual nature that I ever witnessed nor do I even want to insinuate that there were. Nor am I saying that anything I have ever witnessed even starts to approach the gravity of child abuse.

So I’m off the hook right? Well... wait – not so fast.

I watched as people were thrown out and left by the wayside with no friends, no support system and spiritually bleeding and never did anything about it.

I believed the system was right or at least “making a difference” in people’s lives. I decided to look at the positive things and not the negative because “Not everything was bad.”

I believed I had no right to correct the leaders. Other leaders needed to do the correcting right?

I didn’t want to chance the fact that what I was seeing might be a skewed viewpoint and therefore not correct. (What if I am wrong?!)

I did not want to jeopardize my position within the system.

And ultimately, in my heart, I knew what happened when you questioned the leaders or the system.

I basically shut up for the support of the system and in that – am I any different? Does any of that sound familiar to the Penn State scandal? Do you see the analogy I’m drawing?

Funny, the people over at Keystone Reconciled decided a few weeks ago that the real truth needed to come out about the church we were involved in. We spoke up. Ultimately we decided that it might be ok to hurt the system if it will help those who are being chewed up by the same.

Ultimately, I am asking those who may be tempted to throw stones at Penn State right now to first look into our own hearts and ask forgiveness for staying quiet on things in our own lives that we should have spoken out against.

Is there something that you need to speak up about? Is there a story that you need to tell? Is there a system or person you need to confront? Let’s learn something this week in looking at Penn State. Let’s not let the log in our own eye obstruct our vision any more.
