Summary: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem is not a cushy statement it is a command to pray in obedience to God’s redemptive work within our world. It is not something that we should say, “Look I can do it another day.” It is something that we need to do today, more than ever we need to stand upon the foundations of our faith, for those very foundations are the one’s that the biblical bride of Christ are built upon, not the man made traditions that our church system is advocating today, but the reality that God through Christ reconciled the breech that existed so that we ourselves would fufill the one dream of which He himself did not fufill in direct relation to Himself. God gave us a dream that He wants fulfilled and that dream exists within the confines of unity in the Body of Christ.
Yet this dream is not based upon the understanding of false religion that puffs ups itself, it is built upon the Word of God, and not the man made Word of God either that is propagated throughout these Christian sites online, but the real powerful Word that is able to liberate souls from bondage and give them the peace that suprasses all understanding. What the Christian church needs to understand more than ever is that the reality and our focus has gone amiss into the fabrics of paganism and selfish pride. We want a “Word from the Lord”, well the Word of the Lord is not being wielded as a Sword but as a lamb who goes to battle only then to be slain, but the reality is that if the Word of the Lord is a Sword and the Sword of the Lord is the Word of God, since Christ is the Word of God, then something is direly wrong with our system don’t you think?
If the Word of God is able to piece marrow and flesh then why not the hearts of those who call themselves prophets yet don’t really preach the prophetic message of the Lord that He has in this day and age through the understanding and nature of the Word of God? I am telling you that many prophets are merely false prophets who want to tickle your errors who have no bible understanding. I will name names here including the Elijah list with its seemingly endless prophecies on almost every subject that affects society. This popular Christian online list not only is false but the mere fact that it supposed prophets proclaim a merely daily toast to a word of knowledge ought to bring into question the validity of its message itself.
If you really want to adopt the attitude of Christ then do it, don’t play games for the Word of the Lord is piercing and able to penetrate to the heart of the matter. If I were something then the Lord would not use me in the way that He has placed me in the operation of the giftings He has placed within me to edify His Body. Please understand me, I am not against prophecy, for I believe firmly in prophets, and prophecy in relation to today, in fact God has used me throughout my lifetime in the Prophetic function and office which He has bestowed upon me. Yet it is not about me, or anything it is surely about the Lord and His Word to His people. If your called to preach, don’t preach the message of conformity, preach the Word of the Lord which dwells in the sacrifice and death of Christ sacrifice, that it is only through His blood sacrifice that we can be made right and thus sanctified able to enter into a personal relationship with His Son Jesus Christ.
