Build It: Part 3
Build It || Part 3, Day 1
Matthew 16:13-19 NKJV
When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
Luke 19:13 KJV
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
Right now, we are living in unique times on the Earth.
We’re living in a time where knowledge is increasing, and information is flowing at greater levels and speeds than it ever has before. We are living in times where things and events are unfolding before our eyes that we never thought we would see.
We are living in times where darkness and wickedness seem to be prevailing in the land. We are living in times where evil is called good and good is called evil. We’re living in times where sin has run so rampantly that what was appalling to the average person 20 years ago is now received as normal.
The church that will walk in victory for the rest of this year and in 2024, it is the church that will receive the prophetic word of the Lord and stand on it.
Preacher, what is the prophetic word of the Lord? BUILD IT! I know many are speaking doom and gloom but hear the prophetic word of the Lord for you, right now, BUILD IT!
What does God want me to do with my business in 2024? Build it! What does God want me to do with my ministry in 2024? Build it! What does God want me to do with my marriage in 2024? Build it! What does God want me to do with my church in 2024? Build it!
BUILD IT in preparation for what the earth has never seen before.
BUILD IT to house the glory that will be released on the church.
What is the price to pay for housing the glory?
1. There has to be an honoring, respect and value toward those who have paved the way for us to be here.
2. There has to be a commitment to sacrificial giving.
3. There has to be a holy embracing and a dogmatic awareness to kingdom order.
4. There has to be a spirit of praise, worship, and prayer done in spirit and truth.
In 2 Chronicles 5 and 6 we see the singers and the worshipers and those who played instruments come before the Lord. The priests were in place and the Levites were there. They began to sing and play before the Lord with holiness and righteousness. Then Solomon gets up and prays. The Bible says 2 Chronicles 7:1-3, when these things were done, the fire of God fell and consumed the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the house of God. This glory fell so powerfully that the priests could not enter the house of God.
John 4:24, “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
Pray with me…
