Manufactured Ministry, Form, Art, and Illusion

As a pastor myself of a local congregation, I must recognize what the
Lord IS and IS NOT saying. This word is not of judgementalism,
neither is it a word of comfort. But an awareness of harvesting that
the Lord desires to come forth.

We as pastors in this day, will not be able to shepherd the sheep,
amongst our own abilities. It will take the cooperative anointings of
the Apostle, Prophet, and Intercessors, within our church, community
and cities, to help build the habitation of his presence.

Now, I could speak from the platform of 1st Corinthians chapter 12,
but I want to dive a little deeper within the advancing the kingdom
in power. I want to perhaps raise the window blinds, and open the
closet doors, as to peer within.

Psalms 145:13 says Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And Your
dominion endures throughout all generations. Daniel 4: 3 How great
are His signs, And how mighty His wonders! His kingdom is an
everlasting kingdom, And His dominion is from generation to
generation.

Whenever God establishes His Kingdom, it stands forever. Whenever God
lays righteous kingdom foundations, they remain firm, stable,
everlasting. The foundation of God that you desire to build upon,
must be built by pure motives, cooperative anointings, and tempered
instruments.

Its not the foundations poured by God that makes a building or
habitation unstable, Its what men allow and DON'T allow to be built
upon that foundation, that causes its advancement, or its collapse.
Its also the foundations laid by man, born by fleshly blueprints,
designed by false or unpractical builders, that bring about the fall
of the house.

Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and
say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to
the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the
shepherds feed the flocks? 3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with
the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock. 4 The
diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which
was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither
have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye
sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye
ruled them. 5 And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd:
and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were
scattered

10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb
dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. 11
Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are
shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way,
every one for his gain, from his quarter. 12 Come ye, say they, I
will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to
morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.

We as ministers, are to lead the sheep out of dry parched places, out
of wilderness areas, where beasts seek to devour, and bring them to a
place of peaceful waters, and plenty. But we cannot do it by
manufactured anointings, superficial programs, or deceptions. We are
to provide a environment, conducive to his presence, glory, image,
and standard.

But we cannot do it by ourselves, a one-man show peddling a "miracle"
elixir to a diseased nation. We must have the Apostles and Prophets
within our midst illuminating darkness, and expelling it at the root.
They are to assist us in removing "growth restricting" diseases , so
that the outcome is a healthy, vibrant, and advancing church. We
desperately need the Intercessors, crying out for cultivation
processes of the land.

If we as pastors don't align ourselves by the Spirit, to the company
of these deposits within the body of Christ, they "the sheep", will
become fragmented, and will be a risk factor within the environment
in which they graze. We need the apostolic laboring among us. We need
the prophetic speaking within us. Especially, in this hour. We need
to hear what is being spoken to and through the intercessors. Right
Now!

I have come to an understanding of this. If we are going to see the
Kingdom of God advance with power, purpose, and vibrance, to the
inhabitants of the earth, then we will need to surround ourselves
with the Apostles, Prophets, and Intercessors. We have to respond to
them with all haste to bring about the stability, vision, and
birthing, of that which is to come.
