The Remnant Church Arising

The Remnant Church Arising!
 The Lord said, “I will build My church” 

Matthew 16:18

5-8-19, A BRIEF PERSPECTIVE: 
The First Century Church with the apostles was vibrant, exhibiting profound life changing teaching, and magnificent signs and wonders.  Hearts were noticeably touched for and by God, and lives noticeably redirected to reflect the ministry of Yeshua (Jesus).  People of all ages and backgrounds numb to this life came vibrantly alive encountering the Lord, and then they went about sharing the Good News of the Gospel changing still others!  The newly converted Christian did not wait to be schooled or licensed to some position in the church, they simply and encouragingly went; they became called-out disciples of Jesus, and they shared the teachings of Jesus openly, candidly, and without props.
 
The First Century Church worked!  The members loved one another, openly took care of one another, and actually transformed communities and cities.  This First Century Body of Believers in Christ did not sit around and debate God’s goodness or works.  The members openly demonstrated such; they healed the sick, they raised the dead, and they cast out demons.  As lives were healed, they were sent out to do the same to still others.  One day alone, Pentecost, the church grew by over 3,000 members (Acts 2:41).
 
The myriad examples of the Living God working through mortal man was so incredible, the pagan religions of that day could not compete.  The philosophers and learned ones could not teach against its’ success, especially the changes in man’s hearts and actions, and the Roman government could not help but feel threatened.  The persecution launched by Roman authorities against the growing body of Believers in Christ caused an even deeper commitment to the ways of the Lord, not the ways of man or government or self.  So…this First Century Church, comprised mostly of Jewish believers in Yeshua Ha Mashiach (Jesus the Messiah), grew in numbers, as well as heart-felt demonstrative faith and actions.  Adhering to the ways of the Lord as He taught and demonstrated, openly displaying grace not mere public politeness, the First Century Church moved like a mighty wind.  Read Acts 19:1-41 to learn that the Apostle Paul went to the City of Ephesus, and within two years this city of 200,000 were living examples of Jesus Christ’s teachings.  An entire city living for Christ!  Look around today…hard to imagine a large church living for Christ much less an entire city.
 
But God! [1 Corinthians 12:24-27] For it is the Lord Himself, Adonai, who commenced shaking the church and nations into a new level of reality not seen in very many decades.  The Remnant Church is Arising!  As the author of The Messianic Church Arising by Dr. Robert Heidler wrote: “God is doing a miraculous work.  It is the restoration of something that has been lost for fifteen hundred years, and it’s about to turn the ‘religious’ world upside down!”
 
Once upon a time…the church worked.  With rare exception it does not anymore.
 
THE WAR COUNCIL was formed by God’s command to speak into three particular areas the First Century Church spoke to most plainly and candidly. 
  • First…government and public officials
  • Second…those who practiced ceremonies, rituals, and methods attempting to draw close to God but who remain empty and now tired
  • Third…those who left churches and liturgies and sit alone, but who know they are called to the teachings of the Living God thru His only Begotten Son Yeshua (Jesus).
 
EDUCATING THE REMNANT is an exciting process which will afford Holy Spirit to breathe new life in a church that is simply not working as Christ intended.
 
The formation of the church is mentioned in Matthew 16:18.  The Ekklesia was taught and developed by Jesus establishing His legislative body (ambassadors on earth).  This formation was the deliberate extension of His Heavenly Kingdom.  He detailed the structure outlined in Ephesians 4:11-12, or if you choose an organizational chart for this governmental body and its function.
 
Knowing that evil powers and principalities would oppose and try to destroy the Ekklesia, Jesus appointed apostles (special governmental representatives); prophets (those speaking new messages from God); evangelists (those chosen particularly to spread the Good News to unbelievers); pastors and teachers to guide and fully equip His people for works of service in anticipated warfare by building-up and maturing members of His earthly Kingdom.  Jesus made clear; the authorities of the infernal region and evil spirits in high places (second heaven) would not overpower or prevail in their efforts to destroy His legitimate earthly legislative assembly.
 
Unfortunately, nearly three centuries later in an effort of appeasement from persecution, hosted by Roman Emperor Constantine Caesar Flavius (worshiper of the Moon god Nanna), 300 Christian bishops and many church leaders attended the First Council of Nicaea in AD 325.  What came of that meeting was a statement of doctrine called “The Nicene Creed” that all of Christianity would follow and obey.  Although this doctrine affirmed the full deity of Christ, the Emperor installed a structure of worship and gathering that completely changed the original constitution initiated and taught by Christ.
 
Constantine and the orchestration of the Council of Nicaea subtly replaced the five-fold ministry which led to a “religious system” that we have to this day.  This system basically eradicated the knowledge and work of the Ekklesia by Holy Spirit.  This “powerless” system or rules, regulations and focus on mammon (material wealth and tithing) has led to the deterioration in church attendance and original function and demonstration of works (signs, wonders and miracles) and function (maturing the saints to be witnesses) for Christ and His Kingdom.  It further appears the church today has lost its moral compass and compromises with the world as the early leaders did with Emperor Constantine. 
 
Inspired by Holy Spirit, The National War Council is established to reinstitute the original intent and function established by our Lord and King – Jesus Christ [Yeshua].
 
In addition to our regular teaching series, we look forward to your invitation to come and share more completely the call upon the Remnant Church today.  Whether elected official, corporate executive, pastor or church leader, corporate executive or shop keeper, food server or hourly employee, Mom or Dad, the Remnant Church is Arising across America in response to the call of Holy Spirit to bring forward the church Jesus instituted.
 
ONE MORE THING:  The Apostles encouraged, cheered-on if you like, ALL new Believers in Yeshua (Jesus) to be like Him; to mature in intimacy with Him and our Heavenly Father.  Pause and ponder that statement…to mature in intimacy with Him and our Heavenly Father.  WOW!  What or who is holding you back?  The Remnant Church Arising across America is learning this truth anew.  The Apostle Paul stated clearly in Ephesians 2:6, “God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms with Christ Jesus.”  Did you grasp this powerful truth?  When you trusted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, YOU were IDENTIFIED with Jesus in His death and in His resurrection.  Your old self died, and God made you alive; YOU became a new creature (2 Corinthians 5:17).  Now get this…Paul tells Believers; God not only raised you up with Jesus, He also seated you with Him in the heavenly realms!  Spiritually, YOU are now seated with Jesus at the right hand of the Father! Zechariah 13:9

Picture
So…allow me now to ask, since you are seated with Jesus in the place He is sitting in the heavenly realm, what is holding you back or down from living a life of celebration here on earth?  What is dimming your light that should be shining before man?  Where is the changed life, the power and authority to impact this fallen world for Christ?
 
The First Century Church “got this!”  The church today has lost these truths.  The Lord is building His Remnant Church to once again demonstrate these truths.
 
With all of Heaven cheering you on to run the race the Lord intends for you to win, I thank you for reading this announcement, and ask the Lord to bless you and walk with you today, tomorrow and into your tomorrow’s tomorrow, until that day when we are at our Forever Home with our Forever Family with Jesus and our Heavenly Father. Psalm 23:6

    4-21-21, We must obey God. Psalm 119:1-8 Jesus' sacrifice doesn't give us permission to commit sin. Romans 6:2 His sacrifice gives us the path to forgiveness; but THEN we cannot deliberately, repeatedly & without regret go back to our sinful ways. If we do that, we were never born again in the first place. Repent, turn to the Lord for salvation. John 3:3, 7; Hebrews 6:4-6
