Now is the time for us to progress beyond the basic message of Christ and advance into perfection. The foundation has already been laid for us to build upon: turning away from our dead works to embrace faith in God, teaching about different baptisms, impartation by the laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. So with God’s enablement we will move on to deeper truths.

-Hebrews 6:1 TPT

NOW IS THE TIME

Our Beloved Father, dwelling in the heavenly realms, may the glory of your name be the center on which our lives turn. Manifest your kingdom realm, and cause your every purpose to be fulfilled on earth, just as it is in heaven. We acknowledge you as our Provider of all we need each day. Forgive us the wrongs we have done as we ourselves release forgiveness to those who have wronged us. Rescue us every time we face tribulation and set us free from evil. For you are the King who rules with power and glory forever. Amen.

-Matthew 6:9-13 TPT

What are we waiting for? Go prophesy, go heal, go raise the dead, go set the captives free, go and DO!

I love the Church, but the truth is many, if not most, of the Church has become comfortable and complacent. We are content to go to church once a week and call it done. It's time to arise in power and authority!

It's time to reject religion and embrace relationship.

Relationship, love, is what brings power and authority in this beautiful Kingdom.

The sad truth is religion is more comfortable than authentic relationship. Relationship is scary because it requires something from us. It requires obedience and sacrifice. It requires authenticity, raw, real, surrendered, but it's worth it. Relationship will require you to confront your truth and transform it into His. This relationship will demand change. It will demand total transformation.

We become what we behold.

Are we beholding the dead law and religious works, or are we beholding His Presence, His grace, His love, His Glory?

If the church is ever going to conquer the kingdom of darkness, we HAVE to truly become the Kingdom of Light. We have to surrender our self and allow Him to shine through us through our works out of His will and His righteousness.

Jesus never did anything apart from the Father and neither should we.

Take us deeper still, Father!

Never let us grow content and miss out on the deeper truths you have for us! May Your Kingdom be made manifest on this earth as it is in heaven!

Awaken the heart of Your Bride, King Jesus, to the glorious mission You have given us. May there be a burning zeal in our hearts for Your Presence and purposes!
