The Church God has in Mind

Bongani Blacksmith
00:00:00 hi there my name is sonya rogers and you are watching
blacksmith tv stay tuned uh [Music] [Music] [Music] blessings to the tribe
and peace to the family i believe that you are all doing okay this is your
apostle i'm back with another video today on today's video i want us to
look at the church that god has in mind right the church has been so the
church has become everything except what god has in mind and so
there's seriously a need for redefinition and reformation in the church of
christ so i want us to look at where jesus uh
00:01:44 when christ was still on ed where he spoke about his um church
there's a certain concept apostolic building concept that i want you to
understand especially if you have a ministry uh you have a church in
fact every minister the purpose of every ministry is to contribute towards
the building up of the global church of jesus christ so one of the even one
of the things that is delaying the purposes of god it is the
individualistic mentality that exists within the global church of christ so
when the paul says he gives some
00:02:19 apostles some prophets some teachers evangelists and
pastors god was not necessarily dividing his ministers but he was simply
um gifting them differently so that they can complement each other and
so that they can complete each other so that is to say we are not going to
be able to fulfill the purpose of god on end until we see the fivefold
ministry coming back to to coming back together to work for a common
goal which is the building up of the body of christ which goes by many
names the city church or the city upon a hill the bride of christ the body
00:03:00 of christ you can all the metaphors that are used to depict this
group of people right so but what exactly god has in mind or what exactly
god had in mind when he pre-data mind when he pre-determined
the existence of the church what is the church that god has in
mind because like i said the church has become everything except the
one thing that god has in mind about the church right so let's read
the words of jesus you remember the conversation uh when jesus was
asking his disciples uh who do men say that i am so he asked
00:03:39 peter we asked his disciples rather he was asking them who do
men say that i am so he was asking them public opinion so they told him
uh some people are saying you are elias some they're saying john the
baptist others they're saying jeremiah they're saying you're just one of
the prophets and then jesus turns to them says fine let's leave people
alone you guys my inner psycho my disciple who do you think that i
am who do you say that i am and then verse 16 that is in the book of
um uh the book of uh mezu16 uh verse 16 and
00:04:14 simon peter answered and said thou art the christ right the
son of the living god the answer was so accurate that jesus when jesus
jesus exclaimed and says blessed art thou simon by jonah for flesh and
blood had not revealed it unto thee but my father which is in heaven
because remember them getting their answer correctly of who jesus
was was very important for the uh for for the for their understanding of
their uh the actual mission that brought christ on end because people
don't get it jesus didn't come on ed to
00:04:52 to build a religion called christianity right in fact god is not even
a christian right remember jesus is called christ because he is
the anointed one right he is the messiah he is the chosen one like it's not
like christ this is saying you're not jesus christ as if like the christ has the
same name no it's not his last name right is it describes him as a
chosen one as the messiah as the son of god as as the christ the anointed
one and he's anointed right so that's why it's even inaccurate for
the church the followers of jesus to be
00:05:33 called christians because calling a follower of christ a
christian it's like belittling uh the followers of christ because i mean even
the sacred scriptures they don't teach that you are you're a christ ian this
the sacred scriptures teach that as he is so are we on this planet so as far
as scripture is concerned as jesus is so are you so how can you be called
christ the end then but but but here's the thing and i'm redefining things
because it's very our our definitions and our terms are very important
because they
00:06:08 can they're so misleading here's one of the things that uh a lot
of pastors and and evangelists and clergymen they have ruined about
the bible and about the the work of christ they took what christ jesus
came to do and and built a religion out of it but it was never and it is not
god's intention to have a religion on it she remember you can go back to
the beginnings to the genesis of the beginnings there was no religion
there before the fall of men there was no religion adam never had any
religion adam and eve according to the biblical
00:06:46 text that they didn't have a religion in fact if you read even the
biblical text of the the genesis of the beginnings you find that we don't
even find a place where adam and eve they went looking for god they
went fasting they went or going to see god somewhere we in in fact
the genesis of the account of the genesis of the beginnings we see that
god coming down to visit men in the cool of the day because it was a
relationship it was never a religion so what have we done now with what
with what jesus was jesus came to do we took
00:07:19 it and we built a religion out of it and because we took uh uh the
work of christ and we build upon it a religion we made a religion out of it
the church is failing in hamishi upon the face of the head and in the
nations of the earth and this is why there's so much reformation and a
need for redefinition right because i'm telling you a lot of our conferences
a lot of our schools a lot of our summits a lot of our sunday services they
don't serve the peoples of god in fact if we become blunt and frank about
it a lot of our church gatherings now they
00:07:55 serve the purpose of the the so-called men and women of god
they don't serve the peoples of god that's why even your pastor sulks
he becomes angry when you didn't pitch up you didn't show up at church
not because your pastor saw cares for your soul but because i mean a lot
of pastors are just playing a numbers game i have 200 people in
my church i have 500 people in my church i have 20 000 people in my
church i have this number in my church you understand so we there and
remember humanity's um the religious incarnation
00:08:29 right it's it's something that began with the fall of adam because
once remember god's place god's place in your in your heart it can never
be replaced by anything there there's a this is why even some successful
people they will still feel empty they will still feel a void that's why people
pursue certain goals and have certain aspirations and think that if they
can achieve those things they're going to be fine but at the end of their
journey with their achievements they will still feel an emptiness on their
source because
00:09:01 there's a place in your heart there's a place in your soul that
only god can satisfy only god can touch this is why even some people get
married and still feel lonely that's why some people get married and get
to be happy for just eight months a year three years and then after that
again they're feeling lonely they're feeling empty because there's a place
in us only god can touch and what i'm trying to say by that i'm saying we
took that place for god that yearning that they forgot in our spirits and
we made the religion out of it and what is
00:09:32 religion religion is men's efforts trying to find god religion
is adam after the fall adam and eve after the fall taking their leaves off a
tree and creating her coverings for themselves trying to hide their
own shame that was that's what religion is and god is not for religion in
fact religion it is the greatest enemy of of of god religion it is the greatest
enemy of what jesus came to do on it right now i'm telling you
the greatest enemy of the church is not a devil the greatest element of
the church is religion
00:10:06 religion has done so much more damage in the church more that
the devil has managed to do uh damaging the church so and this is why
we need to have this conversation that's why we need to change the
narrative right and and i hope you're looking forward to that so that's one
thing that we need to correct one of the things we need to correct
we we're not christians we are not right that's why the the ele just believe
us they were called the disciples right they were they were
called followers they were called believers
00:10:38 not christians and scripture teaches us by the way that christian
that the term christian came from pagans that decided to call those who
followed christ christians and it was a way of belittling them it was
that now you are wearing it as a badge of honor but it was you know
belittling and even now it's it's a very dangerous idea to embrace because
it makes you to live below your divine potential right so so christ then
says uh uh blessed are those simon barjona for flesh and blood um had
not revealed it and today but my
00:11:13 father which is in heaven and i say uh also and today um that
thou art peter and upon this rock i will build my church and the gates of
hell shall not prevail against him right i don't want to talk about peter and
the revelation and what in the and the rock and what not because
it's going to take me a lot of time but jesus here throws around the
concept he he introduces the concept of church he says um i say to you
you are peter uh and upon this rock uh the word peter means rock you are
the rock and i say this
00:11:49 upon this rock i'll build my church and the gates of hell shall not
prevail we still need to define what are the gates of hell right i have a
teaching where i talk about the 12 gates of heaven but also people don't
know that um the kingdom of darkness also operates to root through our
12 uh secret passages or 12 portals or 12 gates in the frames of the spirit
right which are subjects that we will look into with time right but i want us
to focus zero in on the concept remember we are talking about the church
that god has in
00:12:22 mind when jesus used the word church jesus was borrowing the
concept of church or the word the word the concept of church from the
greeks from ancient greece right because um the word church there is the
word ecclesia right and the word ecclesia is actually uh speaks of um a
political uh assembly or gathering of of citizens to come and decide
business and to decide policies like this was the concept in greece so
when we were talking about the ecclesia the church you are talking about
the gathering of wise decision makers who come to
00:13:00 decide what comes into the city and what goes out of the city so
when jesus said i will build my church he didn't have what we see
now upon the face of the head he didn't just have a group of people who
gather every sunday to lift their hands and sing love songs to god and
cry and fall down and get up and go back home and talk about how the
service was powerful but live depressed life during the week live defeated
lives during the weeks live lives that do not really show the glory and the
power of god you know and then go on on on prayer on
00:13:34 monday just go become a powerful prayer warrior on during the
series go back home you can parent your kids well go back home you
can't build your career go back home you can build your business go back
home you you're not able to um put yours your your your life in order you
understand that's not that's not what church is about and this is why there
is so much hypocrisy in the church because if you check a lot of church
people they end up living um double they end up living double lives like
they end up having double standards
00:14:11 they end up having two lives they have their church life and the
mosque that they put on when they get to the church world right they're
certain people when they are within the church but when they leave the
church and they are home they are actually different people they live
a different kind of a life and and the reason being is because we have
missed what is really the purpose of the church because remember the
church is supposed to be number one a training center that's what the
church is supposed to be that is to say
00:14:42 even those we consider church letters leaders they supposed to
be highly trained uh are spiritual leaders that are able to empower and
train other believers to be able to fulfill their potential but the average
pastor who is trying to preach to people and trying to build people has not
even discovered himself still confused about himself it has not even put
like his life in order so so i i don't know if you you get you feel my drift
so the issue now is that and i want you to get this because like for
example a lot of people talk about
00:15:16 serving god when and said when they say seven god they talk
about going to church going to conferences going to revival meetings that
is not serving god in fact i can go as far as some people think when they
win souls they are also serving god but here's the catch you know you can
win souls which is one part of the god the great commission right that is
um the book of uh of of of of matthew i think uh the book of no the book
of mark is the preaching commission go and preach the gospel to the
creation but the book of matthew 28 it's not the
00:15:52 preaching commission jesus says disciple them so there is no
point in winning souls if you don't have the right type of materials to be
able to then build those new believers those new converts so that's why
sometimes people who are not yet born again they are better than people
who were born again and they maybe got hurt inside the church or they
just came into the wrong leadership their perception of crisis affected now
the perception of what the church is affected now because they just got
into a church that had ill prepared
00:16:26 leaders or leaders that are not prepared at all they're just maybe
looking for nice verses preaching nice messages but they don't even have
a systematic like a curriculum they don't have a kingdom systematic
teaching as to how do you disciple people after they come to christ how
do you make them christ-like how do you bring them to the full measure
of the stature of the fullness of christ are you following so so that's the
issue now that is to say if we don't have everything in place if we don't
have a right we don't think
00:16:57 about the whole um kingdom agenda thing the right way by
bringing people into kingdom we can we are taking people outside of
the kingdom by bringing people into the kingdom we are hating new
people because it's easy i'm telling you to bring new convicts into the
inside the body of christ but the question is is the church in order is our
doctrine in alignment with what christ thought is our doctrines in
alignment with what the first 12 apostles taught is our teaching sounds
our activities biblical right are we our function are we able to
00:17:30 serve like i was still talking about the idea of serving god going
to church is not serving god right you go to church let's call it going to
worship god corporate worship let's call it that corporate worship you go
to worship god with other believers but you can worship god at home right
but of course it's necessary as scripture teaches for you to gather
with other believers but you can call that serving god the fact that you go
to church from monday to sunday it doesn't mean you're serving god and
the fact that even if you let's say
00:18:01 you're an evangelist you're bringing souls if you don't have a
responsible if you don't if if they are if if as an evangelist you're winning
souls but you don't have uh uh uh the right type of team that can then
work with those souls it's just a waste of time that's why many times you'll
find that evangelist they would say ah we had a revival and and
500 people gave their lives to christ question after just a year how of
the 500 people how many of them will remain and three years how many
of them would remain you'll find that less than 100
00:18:36 people uh less than a hundred people from the 500 that they
eventually just talk about stated the church the rest they came into the
church they had a wrong idea of what church is and what what what what
the life in christ is about and then they feel they'd be excited they went
back into egypt you find it you you get what i'm saying so and all
because we don't understand what it means like what god had in mind let
me tell you something god has a an apostolic and a governmental and a
territorial church in mind so god doesn't when god
00:19:15 the church god he has in mind it's not just a group of believers
who meet every day to pray to him petition him uh to praise him and then
to feel his power to have their needs met and then go back home that's
not a church god has in mind the church that god has in mind is
the church um it's it's it's a territorial church it's a governmental church
it's a church that uh wants to judge the mountains of essel is the church
that aims uh for the seven prophetic mountain um uh the mountain of of
religion the mountain of family the
00:19:51 mountain of government and law uh the mountain of
entertainment uh the art the entertainment that the the mountain
of business the mountain of media the this is the church in other
words this is why um this is why i tell you pastors don't get it or what the
church is about let's say you have a church member or let's say daniel
was a church viewers was it was your church member daniel in the bible
prophet daniel in the bible daniel will never get a time a chance to come
to your church because daniel was called as a prophet
00:20:20 to serve in the palace of a pagan king so imagine if you're a
pastor you have people that are called god has called them to the
mountain of government in law and they need to be in a certain business
um political meetings on sundays so if you are a pastor that's alex when
your church member didn't show up it shows that you don't really get
what is the church all about you don't get it so there's a parable of a king
who goes for to take some treasure and he goes to a far country and he
leaves his seventh in charge and he says the parable is told
00:20:55 by christ uh and he says to them occupy till i come and the
word has a militant connotation the church supposed to be taking over the
systems of the world this is why this mentality of the church trying to get
out of the world it's it's it's not consistent with the doctrine and the
teachings of christ and the apostles jesus in the parable gave us
an instruction to occupy till he comes now everyone is talking about
rapture right now everyone is talking about flying away but now but right
now like let's take for example the mountain of
00:21:28 media the church is nowhere near it's nowhere near occupying
and and taking over the mountain of media we're crying about all the
ungodliness and evil things that are broadcast to our houses from the
mountain of media but what if that what if um we were the power and the
influence on top of the mountain of media we could decide what type of
movies we are going to play we could decide what if for example we
have influenced the mountain of entertainment we we would embrace r b
we will embrace rap music we will just
00:22:01 change the lyrics we'll just infuse the kingdom mentality into
into our artists and and into our actors and into our movie script writers so
we we we have a wrong concept of what church is i i believe strongly that
we are going into a season where we're gonna change how we do church i
believe strongly that we are going into a season wherein we're gonna
have people in the church that god has called as script uh
movie writers and they will go they are going to become prophets that are
going to uh uh exact influence on through the
00:22:36 mountain of media but then they will write they will become
movie right script writers and movie producers and and and they'll write
movies that has um have a strong uh uh uh kingdom uh a mindset that
opens nations up for god and and on and for his christ all right this is what
we're looking for i'm telling you we are not going to change cities we
are not going to change our nations we are not going to bring global
transformation by just having a sunday a sunday service in fact a lot
of sunday's message sunday sermons they're
00:23:11 pathetic if we were to tell the truth they are too humanistic and
often time they are motivated by what the preacher is trying to
achieve out of his audience so we we that's why there's a serious need for
reformation in the church there's serious need uh direct definition of the
church and and how things are done in the body of christ the global body
of christ there has to be a change there has to be a transformation and
until then and until then we are not going to be able to fulfill the
eternal purpose of god and what is dangerous
00:23:45 with that is that god has all the time but we don't so god does
afford to wait for us to pass on and rise another generation that will not
misunderstand the purpose why he brought christ on end god brought
christ on earth because god wanted to restore his restore humanity back
to himself god is looking for relationship with humanity look you see even
the the concept of god is very it's very flawed like a lot of people call
themselves christians their idea of god is flawed like for example i'm
gonna take something and and for a moment on
00:24:23 the surface i'll appear like i'm contradicting scripture but uh let
me shake you a bit up let me show you things like we are in the service i
was watching a certain prophet um yesterday and there was quite an
interesting something that he was talking about so i was watching him
and i find myself being turned off by something very simple he said he
told his audience says lift your hands and then people will lift you know
where how you are when we say lift your hand you'll be like and then the
prophet is offended because
00:24:53 people are not responding as he's expecting them you know like
lifting their hands high then the prophet then goes like lift your hands
higher you are not lifting it up for me you are lifting it for god so that god
can see god and his angels can see it right now it's fine when you are you
know a believer who can't think right because a lot that's the weakness of
many believers is that they believe but they don't know how to think and
the problem with um uh believing and not thinking you might believe
things that
00:25:27 are not really there like you can believe in santa claus but it
doesn't mean santa claus is there right and so i don't believe in blind faith
i don't believe like i believe strongly that um our faith in christ can be can
be explained logically logically it can actually be explained but let's
starting to get into that but my point is that as a believer you must be
able to think right so back to the prophet i was watching number one he
says lift your hand so that god can see it like really is god sitting
somewhere in eternity and
00:26:05 looking on ed to see who lifted his hand and who didn't lift his
hand you know it's like the same thing that we would do i've done that
myself in my savior's like okay let's put together let's put our hands for
the lord but really that's really god like just picture it god sitting
somewhere in heaven and we god did something great for us and then we
are like ah god has done great ah let's put our hands together for god
oh god you're so great oh god guys like yeah keep it coming yeah you just
said and he is and he is what irritates me
00:26:40 with the concept with this with these concepts like stupid
concepts in the church is that when you say god you you have
to understand what you mean you mean self-sufficient you mean when
you say he is caught you mean he doesn't need anything right that is to
say you can't give anything to god really when we when it comes down to
it that's why even when we talk about offerings we talk about tidying tides
and even from the old testament text those things were meant for those
who are serving uh like the priests who are
00:27:15 serving in the temple and other are things that pertain to the
work of god that needed to be that needed money and all of that but it's
not that god needs money god doesn't need your offering god doesn't
necessarily need your tithe you're getting it so and i'm and my and the
point i'm trying to make is that when you talk about god you're
talking about the self-sufficient one right so so so so but but look at the
church now there's so many things that we like for example how many
people are busy trying to please god
00:27:48 you can't please god like christ pleased god your our efforts of
us humanity they no matter how good they are they're not good enough
this is why christ died in the first place because if we could please god
based on our how we are able to conduct ourselves then there was
no need for jesus to come and die but christ ends up coming to die
because humanity's goodness is not good enough right but how about
now people who like think that really the people of now after you
are christian you are in the church is now you're trying to please god
00:28:26 why didn't you please god prior to that because i mean there are
people right now who are not born again who believe in god can they
please him right and my point is that even our view of who god is is
flawed we still need to redefine who god is and i don't want to get into
that let's stick to the church to the church concept and and then
then then and finish up then we will talk about the our view of god how it's
it needs redefinition right we need to look at it from from from an
apostolic perspective now for the church so that is to say in the
00:29:04 church not everyone's supposed to be a preacher not everybody
will not call all of us to stand behind the pulpit some people are as i said
they are god just called them to become movie script writers movie
producers uh some people are called into the the mountain of art of
entertainment they're called to become musicians and music like as a
whole like whether you're talking about rap you are talking about hip-
hop you are talking about rock you are you can talk about because
believers like for example people once they are born
00:29:35 again suddenly they think you're supposed to always just be
listening to christian musicians and in fact rap people if you have young
people who are interested in rap music suddenly you demonize that
testimony you can't do that that doesn't please god you want them to sing
gospel but what if god wants them to go is call them as entertainers
like like kingdom entertainers who would entertain and influence people
for christ and they have to go the rape way they have to go the hip-hop
way they have to go the rnb way
00:30:09 but because you are so religious and because religion has raped
your minds you can't even see that there is actually like for example if rep
is wrong then driving a car should be wrong too because they're evil
people that drive cars so why don't we abandon cars and says um there
are certain devilish people that are driving cars they're not godly
let's leave them alone so rep as an act let's say for example a form of
music how because maybe there are certain most of people doing it
they're not doing it for the kingdom of god how can
00:30:42 you demonize the whole thing the same thing with movies
like my point is there are people called to become politicians there are
people called to become television personalities there are people who call
to demonstrate to law and and these supposed to be kingdom people that
have a strong kingdom foundation and whenever they occupy the
whatever whenever they're placed into these mountains they can bring
the kingdom of the influence of the kingdom of god into the into
those mountains but we are not going to get there
00:31:16 because our idea of church and our idea of serving god is going
to church every sunday is going to church every wednesday monday
friday is doing all night prayers it's doing conferences gather a crowd take
an offering pray for them let them fall heal the sick interview a few
demons let them go back home come back and that kind of thing is just
boring me it's like you understand actually even boring i don't even think
it's the word it frustrates me because i understand exactly what it is that
god wants out of the church the
00:31:49 church supposed to become an influence the church suppose it's
a kingdom remember jesus didn't say repent the church has come he said
repent for the kingdom of god is at hand so the church is just the
covenant of christ christ as the king as the president but the church is his
cabinet and we supposed to administrate his purposes upon the face of
the earth but that's not what we are doing and that's not what we are
doing that's why i'm telling you a lot of our church services they don't
please god and a lot of our church services they
00:32:21 don't fulfill the purpose of god and and we have to change
this but it start with us first redefining what we call ourselves as followers
of christ and secondly we have to redefine what is the church we have to
look in depth what is the church and what is the intention of god for
the church are you following i'm telling you and and like for example um i
know some old people that have been in the faith for a long time i know
some pastors apostles and prophets and people who have been in the
church for the longest time go and check their ministry
00:32:59 work go and check the type of people they've produced go and
check the type of churches that they have built right and you can't help it
to ask a question is this it when we say we we're doing ministry i'm full
time i'm called i'm a man of god i'm building church is this what
you're talking about are you kidding me so so there's a serious need
forever mishi there is a serious need for red definition so that plot will help
us god will help us i i just wanted to provoke you to thinking i want you
to want it to provoke you to remember
00:33:38 jesus john fest when he appears he says repent the kingdom of
god is at hand jesus comes and says repent the kingdom of god is right
hand paul the last chapters of the book of x tells us that paul preached
the kingdom of god so we have not preached the god of the kingdom we
preached we don't preach governance we we preach church right and
even church now like honestly like the choice is not a waiting room
a church is not um a nightclub the church is supposed to be a power base
for the kingdom of god is the church supposed to be an operational
00:34:17 base for us kingdom people from the church we must go out into
the seven prophetic mountains and and influence the nations for christ
and influence wealth systems for christ not what is happening now that's
why even now the way we are so bad then we're looking for something
new to do in the church would be attacking each other busy eating each
other up in the church busy um dragging each other's names down on the
mat and just look at the drama that is happening in the church it's
because honestly we have a lot of thieves in the
00:34:50 church and we have a lot of ill prepared leaders who are
occupying the pulpit who do not have what it takes to develop the type of
believers and the church that god has in mind upon the face of the
earth so there's a serious need for apostolic reformation and this is my
personal conviction i don't believe we need revival i believe we need
reformation we are in need of serious apostolic reformation the church
needs to go back to its original design to biblical blueprints and biblical
patterns right and i and i hope you as prophetic
00:35:25 people because on my next video i will talk about um the
purpose of god uh are for prophets and prophetic people i will do a video
on that because even you as prophetic people you need to
understand that being a prophet it's not just about you calling people's
names being a prophet is not just seeing and saying being a prophet is
deeper than that right and i don't want to get into that right now but yeah
that's it that's the church that god has in mind it's a church that's going to
be an influence on ed uh on politics on media on entertainment
00:36:00 on government law like business comments like this is the
church god in mind not a church that is busy trying to escape and run
away when it has not established the bible says the kingdoms of this
world shall become the kingdoms of our lord and god the bible says god
said to christ sit thou at my right hand hand until i make your enemies
your footstools so jesus is sitting at the right hand of the father he's
waiting for god through the church to make his enemies his footstool we
we are a uh we are a weapon in the
00:36:34 hands of the lord we are an ancient the church is an agent
through which god is carrying out his purposes this is the church age in
our present day but the devil knows that he can't stop you from going to
church he knows that he can't stop you from praying he knows that
he can't stop you from worshiping so the devil just makes sure that you go
to church for the wrong reasons the devils make sure that we don't do
church the way that we suppose we ought to be doing it so we we
supposed to come together on sunday
00:37:02 and really be discussing how is it going are we are we winning or
on politics are winning on entertainment are we are we winning on media
are we are we really having believers who are going in there and and how
can we um help them to become more effective bringing kingdom
strategies uh kingdom like wisdom how can we advance more how can we
you understand what i'm talking about how can we win other artists
maybe that are not born again how can we win maybe other actors that
are you know how can we this is the when we come together ecclesia a
00:37:36 gathering together of wise decision makers as we're coming
together we're supposed to be discussing issues of the kingdom but we
don't what do we do we come there we listen to a crazy cold lazy
salmons that we prepared saturday the whole week the pastor was just
busy doing his thing just blazing around and whatever on sunday saturday
he remembers he's preaching on sunday and then he tries to get a
message like where do you think we're gonna go really or even if a
preacher is good but he's more of a the pastor that preaches
00:38:17 psychological messages than spiritual kingdom principles that
are able to bring city transformation and global transformation because
they're really pastors that are good they're like motivational
speakers they're good at preaching people's situations but preaching my
situation it's not going to be able to bring the about the advancement of
the kingdom of god and it's not gonna be able to empower me to become
the kind of a kingdom believer with the right type of kingdom mindset that
is required for me to go into the seven prophetic mountains
00:38:49 and bring about the king kingdom kingdom influence so i am
telling you we are we have a serious problem in the church i i don't i don't
maybe i'm the only one that is seeing these things but i i i tell you we
don't need revival yet we need reformation there has to be reformation if
we are going to be able to fulfill the peoples of god that's the church that
god has in mind that's the church that christ is waiting for to image on
earth before the second coming of christ the bible says he must remain in
heaven until the
00:39:24 restoration of all things that god spoke through his holy prophets
since the beginning of the world jesus must stay in heaven until the
restoration this is in the book of acts chapter 3. so there's no jesus that is
coming now we have not seen the restoration of all things which god
spoke uh uh uh since the world began through his holy prophets we still
have a lot of things that needs to be restored through the church and the
church has an escapist mentality the church is a coward the church is
trying to exit the head when
00:39:55 bible the bible says creation is waiting eagerly for the
manifestation of the sons of god when you're supposed to be manifesting
you want to disappear because you've got it wrong that's not the church
that god has in mind so it's far from being over god is is rising a new
leadership across the globe new apostles and prophets churches and
pastors and evangelists with a fresh apostolic prophetic mentality with
the with with the right idea of what church is there imagine i see a new
church being born out of the old church the womb is old but they knew
00:40:34 the movement is going to be new because there's even a
growing frustration within the body of christ because some people
beginning to sense that something doesn't smell right something is just
not right and i'm telling you it's because we've got it wrong we are not
religious people that's why you know sometimes so difficult um to have
conversations uh with people outside of the church and actually be like
i'm a christian because already automatically they assume that you're
religious you're a religious person and a lot of
00:41:10 people become shocked when i tell them i'm not religious
actually i'm anti-religion right yet i believe in god and i am born again i
believe in christ i am i'm a jesus freak but i'm anti-religious i i hate it
because it has done so much damage to the body of christ and
is frustrating the purpose of god and i'm telling you this reformation that's
heating the nations of the earth the new church is imagining the daniels of
today they imagine the joys of today they imagine the deborah's of today
they imagine the pulse and the tituses and
00:41:47 the timothy's of today they're emerging because it's a new
season there's an apostolic uh reformational movement that is upon
the face of the ed because god is reforming his church i'm going to be
seeing you on the next video i'm signing out i'm bogani blacksmith until
next time sign out
