The Ecclesia of Jesus Christ is in a crisis of faith. We cannot function in the old normal, for we are seeing that it can not hold up to close examination. These days are full of blessing, indeed, but they are also calling the church to a decision.
We really are needing to answer a simple question. Do we believe God? This question will test our faith, as it did our heroes in the Bible, even as it refines it in the fire for us today. This refining means that we will never be the same again. We will have a testimony that has been wrought in the fire of faith, and it will be unshakeable. This, I believe, will be a turning point for Christians.
The turning point is one of a visible separation. We will see the body of Christ examining their way forward. Many will be clinging to what they have done for generations, not able to transition into this new day, while others will move forward with incredible strength, and speed. They will not be moved off of God’s Word, and the resulting acceleration will be a move of God!
Kent Christmas, a pastor in the Carolina’s, said it this way, “Those who moved off the line will be left on the side to watch those moving in faith.”
It is all about our level of faith. Do we choose to believe that God will honor His Word? Answer yes, and we will see a supernatural acceleration in our moving forward, but answer no, and we will likely be left behind.
Why is simple! God needs the people of faith to move across the earth and speak those things that are not as though they are. God’s desire is to fulfill all His promises.
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
