Say Yes...

God has really been speaking to me about the church in the last few days. When I say the church I’m not talking about a building with four walls. I’m talking about us, about believers, we are the church. God has shown me several things. First is that He is tearing the walls of the church (building) down. He is calling us to see that it is not about a building, not about religion, it is all about the Kingdom. The walls are coming down as they did in Jericho and He is bringing the true church together as one. He showed me that He is purifying His bride (also known as the church). He is purifying her and adorning her in white. She is being raised up and going to be put on display before the world. But for this to take place, the church, we the body, have to get back to our first love. We have to get back to that place when we first got saved, and were so in love with God, we would do anything for Him. Nothing got in the way of our relationship with Him. Back to the place where we sought only His face and His heart, and not His hand. The place where it wasn’t about us, it was all about submitting and surrendering to Him. It was all about serving Him, it was all about glorifying and worshiping Him. That is the place we have to return to, and those with hardened hearts that refuse to go there, are going to miss the movement.

It’s time to stop focusing on ourselves, and on things because we all know Matthew 6:33, if we seek the Kingdom of God first, then we get everything else, so we don’t need to worry about those things, God desires to freely give us everything we could ever want and ever need, all we have to do is give ourselves completely to Him. For some of you this is going to mean making an adjustment in your lives, for some it’s going to mean taking a hard look in the mirror and being honest with yourself. One thing God does desire that we know is that there is no guilt or condemnation for missing the mark or for getting off track, all He desires is that we get back on track. Yesterday is forgotten to Him if you ask Him to forgive you. And to those people that pride has gotten in the way of their relationship with God, or intellect and trying to rationalize everything has gotten in the way of their relationship with God, it’s time to put all of that aside and humble yourselves before the Father.

God loves each and everyone of us so much and He desires to see His church come together. If you are willing to go back to that place, if you’ve missed it, or you desire to go deeper then you already are then remember the words of the song “Yes” by Shekinah Glory Ministry (I tweaked it so that it was personalized), and release them to the Father. Remember ALL God wants is yes, make it personal, tell Him yes today. God bless…
