Practice hospitality. Open the doors of your heart and invite those of My choice in. I am connecting you. I am bridging the gap, so be obedient to move forward in the direction I am giving. House fellowship, this is what I am doing. I am opening the hearts of My Beloved to open the doors of their homes. Wherever two or more come together in My name, I am in their midst.
I am gathering My church, yet not via the institutions of men, but in the safety of the home. So understand this day that I am building and that I am providing a safe place for My church to gather where it will not become a business, an institution, nor an industry, but it will become a place of safety and refuge, a place where the needs of My people are met and in-depth relationships of love and care are nurtured and grow.
This is the vehicle through which I shall build My church. It will look nothing like that conceived of as the “church.” It is a living and growing entity that will not be ushered into the structures of men, but will experience the truth of My word and ministry of My Spirit. I will release My Spirit into the midst of those gathered to bring healing and deliverance, and to transform lives.
This is the desire of My heart, that you know Me and experience the height, depth, and breadth of My love. It is in this way that I shall bring My people into wholeness and holiness. It is within the context of this “gathering” that I shall distribute gifts. It is within this circle that I shall be known, for you see, the institutions of men are unable to recognize Me. Their focus is on their props, their programs, and their progress, yet My people are without the Shepherd who cares for them, feeds them, and keeps them safe.
I am the True Shepherd and My sheep hear My voice and not the voice of a stranger. I am calling to My true sheep to come and gather in the safe place that I have prepared for them within the home, within those homes set apart for the ministry of Christ.
Some call it a move of My Spirit and some have taken the vision and run on ahead of Me. But in this day, I shall birth forth the true witness and build My church according to My good pleasure. Those who have run on ahead will turn back in step with what I am doing, for the vision is for an appointed time and the time has come. All is coming into alignment so that the homes of those to whom I reveal My heart will be opened to those I send in. Whole households shall become lighthouses set on a hill, places of refuge from the storms of life, safe places where the weary will find rest.
This is what I am birthing forth in this day. This is what I have in My heart. I have longed for a place to lay the baby down, the spiritual baby that has been birthed forth, yet there was no place. But in this day and hour, I am preparing places of rest and refuge where the baby shall be nurtured and grow to maturity in Christ.
Get a glimpse of the vision. Understand that I have set a precedent, that I have given My spirit and where two come into agreement, there shall I be in their midst to hear and answer. Do not look to the institutions of men, but keep your eyes on Me and I will reveal My heart to you. What is birthed forth in the prayer closet will be shouted from the rooftops and the whole Earth shall come to understand that a great change has come forth, that the kingdoms of men are indeed being toppled and the Bride of Christ is emerging from the womb, that the metamorphosis has been completed and she is coming forth just as a beautiful butterfly from its cocoon.
“Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace.” — 1 Peter 4:8-10
Marks of the True Christian
“Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.” — Romans 12:9-13
“Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” — Matthew 18:19-20
