The True Mark of the Church
Come closer and hear my heart. Let me express my love for you as you draw near to me today. See my hand moving across your land. See with a renewed vision what I am doing to free you from the oppression you have been under. I am exposing every plan and plot to bring destruction to my people. You may not see it now but it is happening as we speak.
Congregations meet as usual thinking nothing is different than yesterday. They pay no attention to what is happening in this world and continue on in their “righteous living.” What is coming is beyond your comprehension but that is about to change. Upheaval upon upheaval will begin to unravel your nation. This will be a good thing to bring many to their knees, which is where they should have been all along.
Humble yourself before me. Bow in reverence to me. You casually come before me with your coffee in hand needing something to wake you out of your slumber so you can even stand. You rely more on that coffee than you rely on me. You casually stroll into my sanctuary unobservant of me, caring not of my presence, caring not for me. You stand, you sit, you sing your songs of praise, yet you feel it not in your heart. The routine is all too familiar to you and there is nothing that sets you apart for my Kingdom work.
Be holy as I am holy. Serve the risen King. Set your sights on me and worship only me. Reject what has been spoon-fed to you and seek after the one true King. Seek me out with your whole heart and mind and give yourself over to me to create in you a new heart. Your feet have moved to the beat of a different drum than what I would have wanted you doing. It is time to seek me and me only and not a mockery of me.
As things of corruption are uncovered seek my face and my face only, for your direction can only come from me. I will lead and guide you on a true path of righteousness and a new way of living for me. Holiness will become the true mark of the Church. Righteousness will become the trademark of my people. Lies and deceit will fall away from my people who truly follow in the ways of YAHWEH.
Prepare yourself for what is soon to come. Prepare yourself for many to come undone in the presence of their King. Prepare to be amazed by the breaking forth of miraculous things taking place among my people. Do not be afraid of what you see, but be amazed that this is how your Kingdom is truly supposed to be. Break away from what you know and seek the ways of my true Kingdom. Honor me with your whole life and not just one day a week.
