Changes in
Everything
Let's
not keep going round and round on the endless ferris wheel ride and going around the mountain another time. It
really is a New Day! And EVERYTHING has changed.
Most
of us know that Church is different. What worked before, just isn't as
effective as it was.
For
sure, we know that believers are earnestly looking for "MORE." They
want to see the real deal and gather with real people. They want
to experience God at church, in their lives, and at work. People are tired of
the "hype." They are more than tired of the false pretenses and clichés.
Hebrews
9:10 says, "They are only a matter of food and drink and various
ceremonial washings-external regulations applying until the time of the NEW
ORDER."
MESSAGE BIBLE says, "Under this system, the gifts and sacrifices can't really get to the heart of the matter, can't assuage the conscience of the people, but are limited to matters of ritual and behavior. It's essentially a temporary arrangement until a complete overhaul could be made."
TIME OF THE NEW ORDER. = diorthosis NT:1223 dia: reformation: NT:1357 diorthosis (dee-or'-tho-sis); from a compound of NT:1223 and a derivative of NT:3717, meaning to straighten thoroughly; rectification, i.e. (specially) the Messianic restauration.
Jesus introduced this NEW ORDER.

task now is to get to where the cloud has already moved...

We've learned from the mistakes of even our recent past. Inaccurate emphasis and imbalances. The "me" selfish mentality. Searching for the Spiritual without applying it to the temporal. Controlling and haughty leaders.

Gal.
2: 19 "What actually took place is this: I tried keeping rules and working
my head off to please God, and it didn't work. So I quit being a "law
man" so that I could be "God's man." Christ's life showed me
how, and enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed,
I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer
important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I
am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The LIFE YOU SEE ME
LIVING IS NOT MINE, but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me
and gave himself for me. I am not going to go back on that." (MSG).
Believers must move past what has been previously defined as "revival." You carry revival within you.
