The end of the church? What end?

I heard a rumor, some reporters are boasting reports of low church attendance as a kind of evidence that church is dying, as a social institution.
Don’t be deceived.
Jesus is working on his church, and he’s been moving so fast, but also with gentleness and grace.
A great wind blew
Just because there was a great wind in a season of spring and much fell from the trees, don’t entertain the assumption to think anything has gone wrong. No! What fell were millions and millions of seeds; his people heard the voice of their Father whisper on the great wind while all the world trembled. And they heard his Spirit call them. And feeling fearful of his coming, they gathered in fertile soil, where the soil testified of his faithfulness and his power, that God is help.
And then, the pressure came.
And again, don’t be dismayed. The pressure pushed the seeds deep into the soil, where the transformation power of His salvation took root. Hope has stirred in the hearts of His church, in the readying for the love of Jesus Christ of Nazareth which will light up the world in praise by his love, it’s coming. He’s coming.
And His Holy Spirit is whispering, “Are you ready? I’m going to pour out. Are you positioned to receive? Where is the treasure of your heart? Do you have oil enough? What kind of God do you serve? Remember him! He is your Father, the shepherd and shield of all his flock! What have you been given? The favor and love of the Almighty; the authority of Jesus the Messiah. When heaven breaks in, will you rejoice, or will you run? Do you know?”
And the fear of Jesus has pressed the seeds. And their hearts are alive with joyful assurance.
And the fear of Jesus has pressed upon the seeds, more. And roots are growing, deep and deeper in the truth. And the rejoicing is coming up on the earth. It will resound. The whole earth will rejoice at their savior, their redeemer, The Lord Our Righteous.
They will emerge together and become a great forest, together!
Do not fear, church! He has tenderly drawn his own into secret places where they might grow deep before, they grow tall.
There is a hiding only in the gathering in the warmth of the fertile soil.
Harken to the stirring in your spirit, church! So you don’t tremble with the world who lacks eyes to recognize what good means and what grace means and what God’s love means. Rejoice!
If you don’t have fertile soil where you can grow with others growing within the Heart of the Father, learning the great Mercies of David, which makes any wretch into a new creation, ask in Jesus name that the Holy Spirit bring you to good soil.
Let the Holy Spirit wash your soul of guilt and fear so that you can learn by suddenly having long-lasting joy in your sleep, like a child sleeping in the arms of your Father. We rest because He works!
Get excited church! When His seedlings suddenly sprout up as one, we will know His faithfulness to provide all our needs from He, Himself. We will hear a great multitude burst out in praise. The song of the redeemed is going to break out on the earth.
The church is only dying to fleshly desires. The quietness is not a sign of absence, but is the sound of growth, as slowly as possible, which lets faith be deep, true, and strong; enduring storms with assurance in God not fearfully acknowledging the weaknesses of the human lack but rejoicing at what is possible when He gets his hands on our circumstances.
Don’t shudder in the darkness, thinking that you’re blind. When Jesus gives you sight, you will see in the light of truth, not distractible by judgments your eyes see or your ears hear. But your judgements will be like that of Jesus, seeing in the spirit and judging rightly.
Get ready for heaven, come!
Don’t judge this season with your eyes but see with his Holy Spirit. Ask him to show what he has planned for you, that your heart might be at ease. Eat his peace and be strengthened.
God is getting everyone’s attention.
Does he have yours? Do you know that most terrifying being with all power and authority to rend your soul is for you and not against you? Do you know how loved you are? Do you know who your Father is?
I bless you, reader, for an encounter with the love of Jesus by the Spirit of Truth.
The church is safe, tenderly growing in the heart of the Father.
