The Church In These Last Days

The Spirit of God is speaking to the institutional church to transition it out of the old wineskin of institutional tradition dominated by the spirit of man and religion into the new wineskin of His emerging church dominated by the Spirit of God and our relationship with Jesus and one another and the world. This emerging church empowered by God and led by Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit is being used to take the gospel over the entire earth to every language, tribe, kindred and nation to help Jesus as he makes disciples of all mankind beginning with each of us.

God is not so much looking for great ability but for great availability because he is the one who does his work in and through each of us if we are abiding in him.

we each approach the walk with Jesus and the work with Jesus in a different way. Jesus expresses himself uniquely through each of us. Each one of us is a different expression of Jesus. Let's purpose together to follow Jesus and not methods or programs or budgets or personalities or buildings or schemes. Let's personally and corporately seek God's face to take on his image and seek his mind to allow him to direct each of us into his will for his praise, honor, glory and pleasure.

I appreciate this opportunity to share with you my journey with Jesus in these last days. I am learning from him as I go along. I know that each ones walk with the Lord and ministry in Him is unique and tailor-made by the Lord for them. I really don't want anyone to duplicate or copy what I am writing about here. My hope is that what I share will stimulate you to go to the Lord through study of his word and seeking his face in prayer. As he leads you, move out into these things in new and unique ways.

Now, take a voyage with me as I share what I have been learning along the way..

Your brother in the life and labors and love of Jesus
