To build God a Spiritual House
5. you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 2:5
2. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.3. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.4. “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
Revelation 21:2-4
The vision is to have and do and experience church that is mature into the members personal gifting and functioning in their various GIFTS.
When the entire congregation function in this manner then ministry will be of the Holy Spirit and not o the pastor for the people.
14. that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,15. but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—16. from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
Ephesians 4:11-16
Our mission is to equip the saints for the work of the ministry.
This what the FiveFold were supposed to be doing all along but the big difference we will be doing fathering (equip and release) as opposed to mothering (nurture and control).
In meetings there is no stage and pulpit. We are seated in squares around the Lord’s table and everybody ministers.e
36. For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.
Romans 11:36
Evangelism, discipleship and all ministry must be directed in and by the Holy Spirit. For too long the church has thought the "good works" of Ephesians 2 are thing we can do in our Adamic nature to somehow please God.
We cannot please God or do anything for God in our Adamic strength.
Everything must be done in Christ through the Spirit. That means it must be initiated by God, not by us.
In order to understand this please read the e-book "Not I but Christ".
The mission is to teach and disciple Christians what it means to "walk in the Spirit" and "be in the Spirit".
