'God is Resetting to Re-face the Church'
This word is a compilation of what the Lord told me during the past months.
First, God is the One in control over everything. Even though He allowed the pandemic to happen, He’s not the One whom has sent it. He uses everything for good though, even this.
Storm-proof
Now is not the time to fear. Yahweh is Lord over the storm, in which He has brought His Church, to draw His sons near to Him in united prayer to discover He’s to cover us with His Glory to manifest His miracle power through our hands. Signs and miracles will follow us when commissioned in this New Era of healing and deliverances, power to heal and deliver the sick, also those from this Covid-19 virus. The Lord gave me the following order: 'Only conduct your lives in a way worthy of the Good News of the Messiah; ..., youstand firm, united in spirit, fighting with one accord for the faith of the Good News, not frightened by anythingthe opposition does.’- Phil. 1:27-28 (emphasis added by me).
‘When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”'- Matthew 14:26-33 (NIV).
As His sons, we got thrown into this storm (Matthew 14:22), because He wants us to make clear we don’t need to be perfect or graduated or completely skilled in whatever to go out in this crisis and demonstrate Him. But our heavenly Father does not leave His children unprotected; He has sent His Son Jesus to guide us through this all (v. 25). As you have known His voice before this storm, you’ll be able to discern His when He calls your name to step out and partner with Him amidst this crisis (v. 28). Like Peter, we’re not able to walk in our own strength through these circumstances, but by focusing on Jesus we’re able to do the thing He asks us to do, even though we are not fully equipped or trained. As long as you and I take the time to hear, recognize and obey His voice in these times! It’s like a whirlwind; you see the storm raging around you, but in His presence you're kept in perfect peace… .
Open heaven
Do you also sense a thicker presence of Jesus when praying? And even a quicker response during your meditations with Him? Now is the time to have a refreshing Quality Time with Jesus. He is preparing us to be prepared in the New He’s been talking about since the past four years!
This is a time to get away in His presence and examine yourself under His grace.
Pray for His divine government over your life. Ask the Lord to unveil the influence and even the control of the spiritual Babylon in your heart / mind. Ask King Jesus to shake your life off of all religious thinking.
‘Babylon is the religious system that kills the spiritual life of the Church and renders us inept to reign. It's a whole system that has the form of godliness yet lacks the life of God, 'the form' will always resist Life and end up destroying it. It's a hypocritical system that says one thing and lives another.‘[1]
This is a time of sanctification to receive a greater revelation of the fear of the Lord, to His children first. When we humble ourselves by seeing Him for who He really is, then, Yahweh has compassion on those who fear Him, just as a father has compassion on his children (Psalms 103:13). 'The fear of Adonai is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.’ - Proverbs 1:7 (CJB)
The shaking is to shift the Church from being a container for Her own, to become a container for the lost that the Lord wants to bring in.
‘Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace and was strengthened. Living in the fear of the Lord and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it increased in numbers.’- Acts 9:31 (NIV).
The Lord determined me to re-decree Psalms 45 in total. Not in a Old Testament mindset, but from the New Covenant perspective.
'In your majesty, succeed, ride on in the cause of truth, meekness and righteousness. May your right hand teach you awesome things. Your arrows are sharp. The people fall under you, as they penetrate the hearts of the king’s enemies. Your throne, God, will last forever and ever; you rule your kingdom with a scepter of equity. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy in preference to your companions.' … 'Then the daughter of Tzor, the richest of peoples, will court your favor with gifts.' … 'They will be led in with gladness and joy, they will enter the king’s palace. You will have sons to succeed your ancestors; you will make them princes in all the land. I will make your name known through all generations; thus the peoples will praise you forever and ever.‘- Psalms 45:4-8,13,16-17 (CJB).
The number Forty-Five speaks about ‘undergoing testing and trials with the grace of God followed by revival.’ This Psalms has many connections with the New He's about to do. But it starts with your position: the scepter to rule over our enemies! ‘Adonai will send your powerful scepter out from Tziyon, so that you will rule over your enemies around you.‘ - Psalms 110:2. This is the time to speak righteous decrees over yourself, your family, your church & your nation, so that angels will fight our battles (Psalms 34:8).
Worldly Riches
'And you will be called priests of the LORD, you will be named ministers of our God. You will feed on the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast.' - Isaiah 61:6 NIV.
God is about to release many resources of this world toward His obedient disciples to influence society on a bigger scale with excellence. A shift in economics will take place. Corruption will be revealed, which causes positions to become vacant for people that God is about to promote.
Back to Basics
“But now I am going to woo her —I will bring her out to the desertand I will speak to her heart.I will give her her vineyards from thereand the Akhor Valley as a gateway to hope. She will respond there as she did when young,as she did when she came up from Egypt.“On that day,” says Adonai, “you will call Me Ishi (My Husband);you will no longer call Me Ba‘ali (My Master).'- Hosea 2:16-18.
A truly New move of God is upon us. It's not about going back to the old ways of doing church and life after this crisis. He's washing off and washing away the human-made doctrines of His church. Jesus is about to re-conquer the religion-confiscated property by men to level it into "New Construction Sites" for His Kingdom of Love.
Our heavenly Father is bringing His Church back to the foundations of being
Church and Her rightful place in society. To an Active Christianity. By resetting the world, He’s resetting the Church. ‘Resetting is a zeroing of. A zeroing of doctrines. It is separating the opinions of men from the intentions of God. As the Church, we have put ourselves in the religious mountain and are now under the religious spirit.‘*
The Lord is restoring the Earth, not terminating it. This is not the End of the World and it's not about His Second Coming.
‘Wrong eschatology leads to wrong ecclesiology and develops wrong theology. Please become a student of the Word in these areas. Maybe we need to ‘zero out’ and let God tell us what we should all believe.’*
'The fear of Adonai is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of holy ones is understanding.’ - Proverbs 9:10 (CJB)
In the coming years a shift of mindset will take place in the Western Church on eschatology. This will shake the Church profoundly and reveal the grandeur of fear that was disguised as 'fear of the Lord', which it really wasn't.
New Era Leaders
On the 8th of March 2020, I heard the Lord saying: "There is a Rise of Eagles - My 'Company of New Era Leaders'". The Lord drew explicitly my attention the significance of the date, the 8th. The number eight represents 'New beginnings’ (Matthew 28:1) or 'Superabundant and satiating’ & 'Abounding in strength'. This will be a sign of the New Era taking place.
The rise of these Eagles leads to a new face of the Church. You could speak of a changing of the guard, new emerging faces coming from being formed in hiding places and now being promoted into new positions of authority. These New Era leaders will arise as leaders whom are known for their humbleness and fear of the Lord. (See the life of Joseph – Genesis 37-41 – as he had been betrayed and wrongly accused three times in his life over a period of 23 years and still kept his heart free from grudge and got molded into humbling kindness)
‘If we are resetting, then we are resetting in form, function and structures. We are resetting in how we govern and who leads the governing.
Are you willing to be reset? Are you willing to be reshuffled into the place God has ordained for you and not where men forced you into?
My fear is we might set again. My hope is we will set anew.’*
Grace and shalom,
Peter Parthoens
