Collective Church Family:
Every year, we pray and seek The Lord on the specific mission for our Church. This usually concludes with a specific word and this year is no different.
This season we are moving into is not just one of practical implications, but one of prophetic significance.
In so many ways, The Church has been reliant on the infrastructure of man’s methods, and The Lord, in His mercy, has allowed us to see how they no longer are effective and allowed us to see the frailty and limitations of our own methods, so we can let them go and let Him build His House.
There is a shaking… There is an uncertainty, there is also an expectation. Unfortunately, people have been running to the charisma and sales tactics of man. Church leaders have consumed themselves with selfish ambition and allowed the enemy to even use them to attempt a dismantle of HIS Church. God is asking us to follow Him and His way according to His Word. A RESET.
When we do this, a demolition begins. We are already seeing this. Kingdoms are crumbling, political climates and selfish ambitions are eroding and integrity of leadership and holiness will rise out of those ashes. There is too much dysfunction, compromise and chaos in the Body of Christ and we believe whole-heartedly, this is coming to an end in this season of RESET. Many who are in area of leadership now will not be able to continue forward in this mandate of purification. If, and only if, repentance and course correction is had, will sustainability be had with existing leadership.
Psalm 127:1 says: “Unless The Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.”
In the midst of what is breaking down, God is building HIS House. That is why there is such tension. There is tension of these 2 extremes. When strongholds start to be leveled and uprooting spiritual assignments that have plagued The Church begins, we see the warfare and the fight. This is all coming to an end in 25.
While it may feel messy, it’s The Lord’s mercy and His desire to see the church REBOOTED and RE-BIRTHED in PURITY.
We can’t rebuild anymore using our methods and man-made tools. This rebuilding and Reset involves separating the unclean from the clean. Leadership cannot and will not tolerate sin as in gossip, slander, chaos, confusion and dissension in going forward. A house divided will not stand and this type activity and action is what is causing unsettled foundations. The season is now upon us to Reset to the ways, desires, and expectations of The Lord Jesus Christ.
We cannot be compromised by culture and demonic influences, which we have allowed to have a seat at the table for far too long.
This is all part of the Divine detox that the Body of Christ desperately needs to move into the place God is calling us to. Over the next year, we will face critical decisions: Will we surrender to this detoxification process, or will we continue pretending and doing things our way?
The Lord is resetting us back to our default settings. Personally. We have all acquired alot of pain, trauma, and bondage, but The Lord is unyoking us all from that past season. This is a personal dismantling.
The Lord in mercy, grace and His great love for us, dismantles us so He can rebuild us. In the natural, this process may feel cruel, like things are falling apart, But what it really is, is The Lord delivering us and bringing us back into freedom and joy that He wants us to have in our calling.
We have been burdened by religion, Jezebel influences, demonic lies, and witchcraft. These things have weighed us down and prevented us from walking in the purity of our calling for most of our most immediate past.
God is leading us to a RESET. A detox. Much of what is happening around us IS NOT THE ENEMY. Sometimes, when doors close and we are removed from places or relationships, it’s not the enemy. God is freeing us and delivering us from these bondages that have overwhelmed.
So, with any RESET, there is transition. There are new assignments, there are evaluative contemplations that all of us have to consider and decide to partake in or continue in the status quo and the normal flow of what we have been accustomed to. It is never easy and it is never always convenient. But, if we yield, it will be drastically fruitful for us personally and for our church in 2025. The year of RESET.
I will preach this and discuss this more on Wednesday, January 8th in our night of worship to and for the entire church.
“Unless The Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” -Psalm 127:1
Toni and I are so grateful to be your pastor. Merry Christmas and let’s go into 2025 with great expectation!
