This world, this fallen existence, is fake. It's not what God intended for us, and we have been warned it will be destroyed.
The Kingdom of Heaven is not manifested in accomplishments in this world. The obsession with building great things and making wonderful lives does not come from God; it's a lie of Satan. The only way you can have great civilizations is to serve Satan. God isn't in that business. He's working to build His Kingdom in Heaven, and this world is just an incubator with a short lifespan.
I am amazed at how easily people forget all that. It's plainly stated in Scripture, and people just ignore it, talking about how it's such a wonderful thing to preserve our civilization. What they cannot see is that the current destruction of Western Civilization is built into it from the start. The malaise we see now as the West crumbles is nothing more than the fruit grown from seeds planted long ago. God is not in this, and so it cannot stand. It's just a lie from Satan.
The only proper foundation for building in this life is the Covenant. Are you worried about what your children and grandchildren will have? The greatest gift you can give them is an obsession with serving the Kingdom of Heaven, not any human kingdom. If you give them an otherworldly focus, it will be the most valuable treasure you could possibly give them. Let them see you not worried about the material comforts of this life. Let them see you deeply devoted to the Covenant of Heaven.
That's what God demands of us. That's fundamental to understanding the Flaming Sword at the Gate of Eden, and in understanding the Cross of Christ. Our very first step in taking hold of that Flaming Sword of revelation is to use it on our own fleshly natures. If we do not by our own hands nail that flesh to the Cross, we cannot pretend to follow Christ. If you aren't into mysticism, then you aren't Christian. How many times did Jesus turn human expectation on its head? The 24 hours leading up to the Cross are filled with Jesus pouring out parables of otherworldly focus, talking about death on the Cross as a victory.
A fundamental element of the Covenant is that everything is intensely personal in nature. It's a personal covenant between God and us, but it's each of us one by one. Without the face-to-face encounter with God, we cannot belong to any divine tribe. There is no proxy, no way to ride someone else's coattails into the Covenant. You must surrender personally and individually to Christ as your feudal Lord.
Right now, there are precious few of us doing this, mostly because there are precious few who have seen this light, who have heard this call. A tiny handful connected only by the gossamer thread of the Internet have agreed that this is the way forward in Christ. Why He chose us, only He can declare, but we are chosen for this task. We don't say there is no other task, but that this is the task for us.
If you are not ready to lead others into the Covenant by how you live personally in the real world, then you are not ready for that call. The vast majority will never come to this truth over the Internet. They must see it in vivo. That's how Christ intended His message to spread; that's what the Great Commission is about. We must go to them personally, not shout at them from a great distance through the Internet. It's not that He can't use the Net any way He pleases, but that a part of His gospel is that you understand that it works best face-to-face. You can pick up on this message across the wires only because you have been prepared for that; most of the world is not so prepared.
You are the missionary. You were placed where you are so that, when this message could break through, you could begin to walk in the Covenant where you are, and become His herald, His ambassador. You are privileged; you are empowered -- all the more reason to fall on our faces in humble gratitude. You need to understand the two primary marks of a follower of Christ: (1) devotion to the Word of God and (2) deeply committed in humility and love. You do realize that humility and love are simply two words for the same weapon against Darkness?
I'm not your leader; I'm just the herald pointing to the Covenant. The nature of the Covenant is your faith at work, giving life to your own convictions. You must do the work to bring out conviction. My convictions are just an example; they will not always look like yours. You need to dig into your own. My message is that the time has come; start digging into them now. Build whatever you see in the pattern of your own revelation.
Yeah, it will be a slow start for most of you. The hardest part is just getting used to the idea that you have nothing to fear, that you must obey the code written in your heart. That it is written there from your birth is all the authority you need. It is something eternal in your mortal existence. Just do it. The change will follow. The light you shine will expose to others the convictions God burned into their own hearts. Things will change; it is unavoidable. Thus, when we call on God to come and visit, we ask Him to start with us.
Pour out Your wrath against sin, Lord, and start with me!
