A Body with power. Jonathan Brenneman, Chris Welch

  There's something about pastor rabbi shaped synagogue style churches that is killing saints, killing evangelism, killing what Paul calls the King factor, the moving towards a spiritual authority in a location. Would that you were kings....notice...plural. Like OT Israel, like Jerusalem Church , there's a beautiful and mystical mix of authority through elders, people feeling relaxed to do what Jesus is doing through them spontaneously. In Acts we see what Jesus prophesied into being ....Now is Isaiah 61 fulfilled in your midst.....Now is the Kingdom of heaven at hand ....You are light on a hill ....a city on a hill. So we see Stephen and mercy ministries. We see Philip who I guess was just one of the evangelists. We see father level apostles going house to house. They were all doing outstanding miracles. There's 14 different ministries listed by Paul in 3 lists. Have your heart fixed on one ecclesia in one location as a demonstration of One Lord who can fix all sorts of personalities comfortably together if He is in our midst. Ezekiel 36 and Jeremiah 31 describe the tender heart the Holy Spirit creates, coupled with tremendous authority that isnt like the world's pyramid authority which is purely a might is right system. We are eunuchs. "Do not lord it over one another as you see the Gentiles do." Believe for real ecclesia that really lifts up Jesus as Lord and sees all men drawn in unto Him. Jesus Presence isnt mushy. It's authoritative, clean holy , rich , loving yet it has God the Father's fear. What's that ? He fears lest He ever once should act out of self for self. he has sworn that He shall never lie. Satan is the Father of lies. We join God in His own godly fear, and His Presence is spread abroad so wonderfully like perfume. Who is up for real church? Like Jacob's sons and the apostles, can we get through the 1 Corinthians 12;14 -26 barrier and operate together as a whole spectrum of Holy Spirit people , honoring each other, and manifesting Kingdom instead of ONE PASTORDOM? Our generation was spoilt . We tasted all this in Jesus Move, and we can read it in Acts. It's not fiction !!!!
