I really want us to focus on the mind of the Father for the Church. We here at BTI have been called to the front line. We are a ministry that has been designated as a part of “The Reformation.” I really need all those who have been touched by this ministry to pray diligently for me, your apostle.
For many years now, we have grown together in the Lord. I have had the privilege of receiving the revelations first, but we all have grown into them together. Well now, we are at a place where the manifestation of the true sons of God must become a reality to the entire Body of Christ.
These are the days of change and cutting away of the flesh. The Lord has been faithful in all that He promised in this ministry. He has given us the wherewithal to manifest Christ in the earth. We have been blessed beyond measure with wisdom and understanding of the Word and the operation of the Spirit of God. I believe that we have come to a place of final decision. I truly believe that those of us, who have comprehended His Word, must either enter into His rest or else draw back into perdition.
This is the challenge laid before us. The fact is, God is not without the ability to raise up others to do that which He desires of us. This is the final stretch of the road. I must go forward or be replaced by one better than myself, for the center of the will of God is the only place left for us to travel. It is the place of the manifestation and demonstration of His power. It is the operation of the Spirit of God.
St. Mark 16:15-20
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20 And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
The works above are indeed the works of the Spirit of God. This is the place we, too, have come to. The Lord has allowed us to have testimony of that place in the Spirit where it has been manifested that all affections and lust for things of this world are dead. Some of us have walked there. We have tasted of the power of liberty in the Spirit. Now the Lord can rebuke us for our unbelief. He wrote to us of that place and some found it and testified of it. Now all who do not believe are rebuked of the Lord for their hardness of heart.
However, there is also another issue that warrants rebuke. Those of us who have lived and walked in the Spirit are now responsible to remain there. We have known the power of righteousness and purity. It is not meet for us to draw back now to perdition. If so, we are worthy of much punishment.
It is time to accept the Word for what it has said. The great commission is before us even as it was given to the disciples of old. We are sent now to the Church and the World to manifest Christ Jesus. We are called to preach the gospel to every creature. To obey this commandment is to invoke signs and wonders, to cast out devils and heal the afflicted.
The Lord does not want to send us out alone. He wants to work with those who are called into His service. He is the builder of the house. He is the Master with the blueprint. We are workers together with Him. He is the power of each of our ministries. It is the Lord who is doing the work, and His glory He will not give to another. He will not perform the great works unless the facilitators have met the criteria of His Word.
St. John 7:38-39
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
The Holy Ghost will only move in ministry when we believe as the scripture has said. Furthermore, to believe is to obey. When we walk in the Spirit a day or two, and then in the flesh, we are not trustworthy. The true sons of God are not those who have to make decisions concerning holiness in various situations. The sons are holy and live in the mind of Christ. Holiness is a natural state of existence. It is not something to be decided.
We must attain that place in the Spirit called steadfastness (fixed or unchanging, firmly loyal or constant). It is the only place that will please the Father.
Let us be completely truthful in this matter. We are not consistently walking in the righteousness of the Spirit. Why? Simply, because we want something from this life which walking in the Spirit has or could deny us. Therefore, we are unable to manifest the fullness of the kingdom here on earth.
But for this cause I prophesy to the Reformation.
We will not continue to be stumbling blocks to those who secretly hope for the delivering power of a Savior. We will no longer deny the Church a manifestation of the truth and the world a demonstration of the power of our God.
We are not as unbelievers. We have both heard and seen the manifestation of Christ in our own lives. We are not looking for excuses. We have accepted the facts. We have made a conscious decision to obey the Word of God. We willingly submit to our God and take our place as the light of this world. This is change, it has come now. There is no more time. The end is upon us.
