Introduction

In His faithfulness, the Lord has given us a sure word that will enable us to accomplish His will in the earth. The true Sons of God are going to rally to this Word. The Lord is calling out the real disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Church has been groping in the darkness of this world for many years, so what would make any difference now? This is the question Satan has put in the mouths of those who make themselves scoffers, when the reality of a true reformation is presented to them. Nevertheless, the change will come, or should I say has come.

There are those who are walking in the Spirit of Christ, as we speak. Now this is not to say there was never a time when no one walked in the Spirit. What I am referring to is a universal ministerial walk that will redefine the Church. We have only had individuals now and then who appeared on the scene and walked in the Spirit, but they were few and far between. The word reformation means to thoroughly straighten and restore. The word of God promises to produce a Body that is able to walk in the fullness of the stature of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 4:13).

For the benefit of those who have not harkened to the voice of God, even as He spoke in the midst of trials that were ordained for their making, the reformation of the Body has already begun. The Lord has indeed raised perfecters in the Body who want nothing but to do the will of the Father. They are faithful to God’s purpose and will not be moved by circumstances, situations or relationships.

John 10:1

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

Jesus declares in later verses of this chapter, that He is the door into the sheepfold. Those who minister to the sheep without coming in through the door are thieves and robbers. Now if Christ is the door, then it follows that the true shepherds are those who walk in the Spirit of Christ. They are those who have indeed put on Christ without controversy. The shepherd is charged with the discipleship of the sheep. It is his responsibility to bring them into the mind of Christ. If that mind is not in the shepherd, then it is impossible for him to pass it on to the flock.

John 10:2

But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

Those who are called to minister to the flock are those who have become one with the chief shepherd. They are the real ministers called to lead the sheep. They carry the mind and purpose of their master to the flock. They are fashioned by the word and compromise is not an option for them.

John 10:3

To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

The porter is also Jesus Christ. He ordains the operation of the gifts of the Spirit to be used to perfect the sheep.

John 10:4-5

4 And when he putteth forth, his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

The Lord is establishing those who are faithful to His purpose in the ministry of reconciliation. He is bringing us to the forefront of the Body of Christ. In other words, we will become most visible, so that the Body will not only hear the Word of the Lord, but will also see a demonstration of His power in the lives of others. Those who are the Lord’s sheep will hear and follow the leaders He has ordained, and the truth they proclaim. It is on this note that we, the leaders in the reformation, must not despair when some refuse to follow.

When the Word of God is ministered in purity, the voice of the chief shepherd is heard. IT IS THE ELECT, THE CHOSEN, THE SHEEP OR DISCIPLES OF CHRIST WHO WILL HEAR HIS VOICE. It is the Word that will draw them out of dead works. It is the sure and pure Word of God that will cause them to cleave to those who have been appointed by God to lead.

In the very near future, we are going to see huge congregations departing from their churches to follow the voice of the chief shepherd, as it is uttered from the mouth of His ambassadors. It is then that those in the Body of Christ, as well as those outside the Body, will witness the fullness of the stature of the man Jesus Christ in the earth. Only then, will the Lord send forth His judgment upon the world and those who departed from the way of the Lord.

The truth must be magnified in the Sons of God before the end of this age. We are the generation called to such a purpose. We are the reformation of the Body of Christ
