There are two key principles that I ' d like to bring out in this article to discuss for the purpose of provoking change in us personally , and especially within our leadership in the Body , if we are not first promoting these principles as we should .
As the Lord ’ s Ekklesia / Church , our very first priority in both our spiritual lives and disciplines must obviously be prayer . Secondly , it cannot be overstated that our calling is to that of love in action . Both of these , prayer and love in action should always be combined if we desire to effect change around us , and in demonstrating the Heart of the Father through His most magnificent Son , Yeshua / Jesus , to a lost and dying world .
Of this important point , and without question , it is clear that the Ekklesia / Church is presently in a place of spiritual crisis and thus is in great need of change because we are not operating as we should . God is not only shaking the world but also religion so that His Kingdom may arise out of the darkness as a great light ( see Matthew 5:14-16 ). In a sense , we need to break out of the old mold that is no longer working as followers of Yeshua did in the past . WE must move from an inward focus , more to contain the saints , and step out into to a more outward focus to help change the world .
Does that make sense to you ?
A new wine is being released from heaven that is all about greater prayer and love in the body , and the Father has plans to break the old mold we are used to , for the purpose of reviving us . Still , we must begin to recognize this and be very honest with ourselves if change and transformation are to transpire . Before Nehemiah could start the rebuild of Jerusalem , he had to take a real honest look at the state of the walls and the gates . Likewise , we need to do the same with the Ekklesia / Church if the old mold is to be broken .
