Shaking, or upheaval always produces at
least three things in the people of God. The
first of these is reflection, a questioning of
what in the world is going on. The second is
repentance, which is a turning around where
needed, and the third is restoration which is
an active participation in finishing the work.

The cycle of the prophetic past often revealsto us the prophetic present. How did we get
where we are right now.
Knowing the prophetic present helps us to
know the future. In another words, we know
that the church is never going to go into
another dark age. The prophecy found inIsaiah 60 or the arise, shine and the glory
of God is here.

The prophetic present, in my eyes, is about who
is and who isnt. I am amazed at the proven
cycles of humanity and yet here we are.
The basic heresies of the New Testament are still
here, but this is the fact of it, there is a group of
you that are going to know Jesus and turn
this world upside down. From this time forward the church or you
specifically are moving on to perfection..

The spirit of confusion
A. Origin
B. Time Span This generation will not have the option to
wander, remain in unbelief, compromise.
Why, because the prophetic future is upon us,
if we fail as an individual, we will becomesubject to delusion. Delusion that leads to
destruction. We must get it right now!

Jeremiah 1
But the LORD said to me:
Do not say, Iam a youth,
For you shall go to all to whom I send you,And whatever I command you, you shall speak.8 Do not be afraid of their faces,
For Iam with you to deliver you, says the LORD.

9 Then the LORD put forth His hand and touchedmy mouth, and the LORD said to me:
Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.10 See, I have this day set you over the nations
and over the kingdoms,To root out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down,To build and to plant.

17 Therefore prepare yourself and arise,
And speak to them all that I command you.
Do not be dismayed before their faces,
Lest I dismay you before them.18 For behold, I have made you this day
A fortified city and an iron pillar,

And bronze walls against the whole land
Against the kings of Judah,
Against its princes,
Against its priests,
And against the people of the land.19 They will fight against you,
But they shall not prevail against you.For Iam with you, says the LORD, to
deliver you.

The split over the YOKE
There has always been battles in Gods people
over the yoke. I believe there are two churches inside the
church, I also believe that the Spirit of God is
going to raise up young men and women who
will participate in the vision of Jesus for the
church.

57 Now it happened asthey journeyed on theroad, thatsomeone saidto Him, Lord, I will followYou wherever You go.58 And Jesus said to him,Foxes have holes andbirds of the air have
nests, but the Son of Manhas nowhere to lay Hishead.
Jesus, who doesnt mindmaterialism
Jesus, who said to put ourclosest relationshipsprimary

59 Then He said to another,Follow Me.But he said, Lord, let me first goand bury my father.60 Jesus said to him, Let the deadbury their own dead, but you goand preach the kingdom of God.61 And another also said, Lord, Iwill follow You, but let me first goandbid them farewell who are atmy house.62 But Jesus said to him, No one,
having put his hand to the plow,and looking back, is fit for thekingdom of God.
Jesus, who promises everyonewealth, the Christian spin onthe American Dream
Jesus, the affluent
Jesus, who says dont worry
about the cross, do your ownthing
We have taken the scripturefound in Romans 12, be notconformed but be yetransformed and conformedJesus into our image.

20 And he answered and saidto Him, Teacher, all thesethings I have kept from myyouth.21 Then Jesus, looking at him,
loved him, and said to him,One thing you lack: Go yourway, sell whatever you haveand give to the poor, and youwill have treasure in heaven;and come, take up the cross,
and follow Me.22 But he was sad at this word,and went away sorrowful, forhe had great possessions.
Jesus, who doesnt mindinconsistency in favor ofinconvenience
Jesus, who wants us balanced,avoiding all conflict and
especially danger Pick up an instrument of
torture and follow me?

16/19
Anyone who does not
carry his cross and
follow me cannot be my
disciple..
Because that our
expectation has been
disfigured by Christian
culture, we walk aroundwandering what we did
wrong.

The Gospel and the Power
8 But you shall receive power when the Holy
Spirit has come upon you; and you shall bewitnesses to Me[a] in Jerusalem, and in all
Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the
earth.
You see the power that we covet is directly
related to the gospel that we preach
8/7/2019 The Church Part 7

You are this gospel, every allegory used in the
New Testament concerning the church has to
do with multiplying or growing. The vine, the
olive tree etc.
The power will come when this gospel is
preached and lived.

I am going to examine myself
I am going to grow this year
I am going to populate the kingdom
I am going to walk in power
