PROPHETIC MESSAGE: Come out of Babylon: a New Kind of Church Emerges--Part 1
PART ONE
On 9/16/24, I received the message below while praying. It is another CALL that the LORD has given me, concerning the NEED for HIS people to start meeting together in their homes, At the time, I was given the word:
“REFUGE HUBS”
Last summer, the LORD started showing me that a NEW KIND OF CHURCH needs to emerge — one that “COMES OUT OF BABYLON” — and into people’s homes! After doing some research, I saw how today’s churches are based on pagan platforms dating back to the days of “Constantine the Great, who was a Roman emperor from AD 306 to 337, and the first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity.” [1] However, this is not what the ORIGINAL church is suppose to look like — and it is not how the EARLY CHURCH met, or functioned. The EARLY CHURCH, was NOT a building, but PEOPLE who met together in homes, where everyone got the chance to participate and use their spiritual gifts.
I was then given, through the guidance of the HOLY SPIRIT, lots of instruction about how to start a small home group, or house church. The LORD emphasized that these were to be HOUSES OF PRAYER!
“Even them I will bring to My holy mountain,
And make them joyful in My house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices
Will be accepted on My altar;
For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.” Isaiah 56:7
“And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.' “ Matthew 21:13
In my next BLOG, I will be sharing a few specific things on how to START and MAINTAIN a HOME CHURCH, PRAYER GROUP and/or BIBLESTUDY.
These places are to become REFUGES for HIS people…. for the ‘storms’ that lay ahead! They will become the ‘backbone for the underground churches’ that will, in the future, spring up during the time of the great PERSECUTION that is coming. The LORD always forewarns so that HIS people can prepare in advance!
PRAY, and ask the LORD, if you are to start facilitating one of these“SAFE HABORS,’ that need to develop, and come forward. In Psalms 107, the LORD describes them as DESIRED HAVENS:
“Then they cry out to the LORD in their trouble,
And He brings them out of their distresses.
He calms the storm,
So that its waves are still.
Then they are glad because they are quiet;
So He guides them to their DESIRED HAVEN.
Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!” Psalms 107:28-31
MESSAGE: (9/16/24)
“I call upon MY REMNANT ONES who are MY true church…..MY Ekklēsia…..that follows the LAMB where HE goes. They are not bound by WALLS…. or PROGRAMS…. or SELF PROMOTING SERVICES, but, INSTEAD, they are MY HUMBLE SERVANTS, that seek ME in SPIRIT and truth!
MY BODY resides in the TEMPLE, not made by hands, but by GOD. I am not found in buildings, but IN MY PEOPLE! Your body is MY HOUSE, and it should be a HOUSE OF PRAYER and WORSHIP.
“Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.” 1 Corinthians 3:16-17
Therefore, come together in unity, and faith with singing, praying, and praise. MY true BODY will rise up, while I put an end to those who follow Babylonian ways, and traditions.
Let MY CHURCH be found among you in humbles abodes, like homes. Forsake the tradition of men, and all of its piety. Let MY Church function as a ‘working body’….each with a specific gift to carry out. Let no one be left behind, but let all participate—for I am not a respector of persons”---and I give ALL MY children the opportunity to serve ME with MY grace, and truth!
I am TEARING DOWN the churches with the FANCY FOUR WALLS, and am calling MY people back to the CHURCHES HUMBLE ROOTS. Let them return to the former days of right after MY 1st coming.
Seek ME on this, and I will show you the way!”
Yes. This is the word.
