The Body of Christ as we know it in America and all over the world is about to change. What man has set up and called a religious institution is being torn down and God is rebuilding what we call “the church.” The dictionary’s interpretation of the word church is a building for public Christian worship. This definition is very oxymoronic in nature. This means that it produces a self-contradictory effect. Let’s take a look at the first part of the definition which is a building. The definition of a building is an enclosed structure. To enclose means to shut or hem in, close in on all sides, restrict, package, and to hold or contain. Now the latter part of the definition of church is …for public Christian worship. Public means open to the view of all; not in private. So this brings about some important questions: how can the church be shut or hemmed in, yet open to the view of all? How can the church be restricted and contained, yet not be in private?
Have you ever thought to yourself, are we the church (as our society terms it) or is it just a building?
In the first four books of the New Testament Jesus rarely addresses the church, but speaks to his disciples on numerous occasions concerning one main subject; the Gospel of the Kingdom. As he is commissioning the disciples and preparing to send them forth he tells them to preach the gospel, heal the sick, and say that the Kingdom of God has come to you. Luke 10:9 states, “And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.”
This scripture does not say to heal the sick, preach the gospel and say that the church has come to you. Why? Because what God is doing in the earth has nothing to do with a religious institution or a confined house of worship. It has everything to do with the Gospel of the Kingdom. Jesus further reveals in the book of Luke, exactly where the Kingdom of God is. Luke 17:20-21 (NIV) exclaims, “Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you.”Therefore, the Kingdom of God is not about to come; the Kingdom of God is already here on the earth within God’s chosen people.
Right now there is a word that is resonating out of the mouths of God’s chosen people. In the hidden places of every land, nation and creed there rings a distinct sound. In every language and tongue this word from God is reverberating. And today I bring this very word to you that there is a KINGDOM REVOLUTION. Let those that have ears to hear, take heed to what the Spirit of God is saying. Arise and revolt against the religious bondage that the enemy has designed to entrap you in. Take a stand as the Kingdom people of God. Take your place as the true sons of God in the earth. The Bible informs us that even this very earth is in pain, awaiting the arrival of God’s Kingdom people. But in order for God’s Kingdom people to come forth, there must be a revolt against the present darkness that overshadows this society with spirits of religion.
The word revolution means an overthrow or repudiation and the thorough replacement of an established government or political system. It also means a sudden, complete, or marked change in something. Revolution comes from the Latin word revolutus which means to turn over. This so poignantly describes what is happening in the Body of Christ. There is a transfer or turning over of wealth, wisdom, influence, affluence, and power into the hands of God’s Kingdom People. Now this transfer is not for everybody. God has already begun to separate the wheat from the tare (the church folk from the kingdom people). That is why the Body of Christ has gone through much testing in the past few years. This testing was sent by God to determine if you could be trusted to handle the transfer. That is why it seems as though things in your life have been turned upside down, because God was trying to see what would be shaken and what would remain.
Why is this Kingdom Revolution taking place? The Kingdom Revolution is taking place because God desires to get his true message of the kingdom to the world. Matt 24:14 puts it like this “And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Wow…this scripture says a mouthful. Do you mean to tell me that the return of Jesus has been prohibited because the Gospel of the Kingdom has not yet been preached in all the nations? Luke 17: 26-30 says,
"’Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.’ It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.’” In other words when the Kingdom people arise and the Gospel of the Kingdom is preached in all the world; then the end will come. Notice that the scripture says the day Noah entered the ark the flood came and the day Lot left Sodom destruction came. Jesus said that it shall be as it was back then. Therefore, the day the Gospel of the Kingdom is preached in all the world, Christ shall return for his bride.
I admonish you to be on the front lines of this Kingdom Revolution. Remember that the Kingdom of God is not just in eloquent speech but in the demonstrative power of God. So go forth and revolutionize; demonstrate the power of God so that the world may be a witness. You be the catalyst for this Kingdom Revolution!
