The Shift

God says that there is a shift coming, wherein He is repairing and restoring everything that was broken. New things are coming. When God is removing from our lives that which is sub-par to replace it with what He has for us, it often seems like it could be the worst days of our lives. We are invited to get away with Jesus and rest, recovering from the burnout that religion brings, learning from, walking, and working with him instead. Learn from him the unforced rhythms of grace. Learn to live freely, lively and adventurously. The Church is finding herself in a time of change, entering a brand-new era in God. We are moving from the era of learning to build a good local church to that of taking the Kingdom into society through many innovative ways. There is a shift from where the Church needed Alpha heroes to break new ground, to that of the Body of Christ rising up. There is an explosion of innovation taking place in the Body of Christ, shifting Her from the era of learning and copying to an era of new things finding expression through that which God has built into each individual. We need to take our position in society and flood the earth with God’s glory. Each individual member is a missionary in their sphere of influence. The most powerful in this new era will be those who know their God, those who are free from having to perform in certain ways under the demands of religion, but, as the beloved of the Lord, only go and do as He directs.
