A TIME TO TEAR DOWN AND A TIME TO BUILD.
This word of the Lord from 2018 is now coming into its season.
As I was in my prayer time in the spirit, the Lord spoke to my heart about a word He had released to me in October of 2018 saying, “There is a time to tear down and a time to build.”
(Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8)
As I looked into the spirit realm, I saw a Building with a cracked foundation. As I focused on the structure the Lord said, “ Look, the foundation is cracked. Mold and dirt have gotten into the foundation. It has been corrupted. The old foundation is being demolished. I AM is replacing it with a stronger foundation based on My original blueprint.”
DEMOLISHED: Pulled or knocked down. Comprehensively refute (an argument or it's proponent). Overwhelmingly defeat (A player or a team).
(2 Corinthians 10:5) We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
The Lord is speaking to the gate keepers and guards on the walls of the cities that the corruption and lies within the church and within our courts and government must be dealt with in the light. We must destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God.
The Spirit showed me how bread can not rise without the foundation of yeast. Good yeast equals Good dough, Bad yeast equals Bad dough!
Matthew 13:33 “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a women took and mixed into about sixty pounds of flour until it worked all through the dough.”
1 Corinthians 5:6-8 “Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough? Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch – As you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old bread leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth…”
Jesus is the good yeast that makes fresh batches of dough – so that the bread will rise and be nutritious. A little good yeast will work through the whole batch of dough!
I want to share a prayer with you that He gave to me to help facilitate the tearing down of the old and the building up of the new…
PRAYER:
(2 Samuel 7:27) LORD, God, Maker of heaven and earth; we praise your name!
You have revealed these truths to your servant, saying, “I will build a house for you.”
So your servants here before you have found courage to pray this prayer to you, El Shaddai.
(Psalm 127:1) For unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.
(Psalm 51:18) So may it please you LORD, to prosper the work of your servants and all of our leadership; to demolish the corrupted foundation and rebuild the walls of the cities, based on the original blueprint, which is Christ, Jesus; that we serve, by providing for those in need of housing, clothing, medical, and social assistance. And by Signs, miracles, and wonders. And for righteousness administrators of the justice of God to do what is right in His sight, or be removed.
(Mark 12:10) For it has been said, ” The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.” let each place of worship be built from THIS cornerstone, which is Christ, Jesus. Let each house of worship have its foundation built on the rock and not on shifting sands of culture.
(Isaiah 33:16) For He shall be the sure foundation for these times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; let us fear the LORD, for the fear of the LORD is the key to this treasure! This is how stability is maintained.
We ask you to restore the fear of the LORD in the hearts of mankind.
(Psalm 25:5) Lord, we ask for your guidance in truth, and that you teach us, for you are our God and our savior, and we place our hope in you all day long. For we know that you guide the humble in what is right, and teach us your ways.
(Ephesians 2:10) For we know that we are your handiwork and we are created in Christ, Jesus to do good work, which you have prepared in advance for us to do. And we seek to meet this expectation with excellence.
(Phillipians 22:2) Therefore, let us find encouragement from being united with Christ and find comfort in His love for us and for all others, then let us be tenderhearted, compassionate, and full of joy, having the same love, being one in the spirit, and of mind as we carry out the mission of putting God's love into action, and fulfilling the vision; which is a world where everyone has a place to call home.
(Ephesians 3:16-18)
And as you fulfill in us the mandate in the demonstration of the love of Jesus in us,, that is poured out as an offering; I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen those praying this prayer; with power through His spirit in our innermost being , so that Christ may dwell in our hearts and the hearts of those whom we serve; through faith.
And as you fulfill in us the mandate in the demonstration of the love of Jesus in us,, that is poured out as an offering; I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen those praying this prayer; with power through His spirit in our innermost being , so that Christ may dwell in our hearts and the hearts of those whom we serve; through faith.
And I declare over you now that you who have been rooted and established in love, may have the sustaining power by the grace of God; together with all of God's people, to grasp how wide and long and deep is the love of Christ, and that you and all whom you serve, would also know this love which surpasses knowledge – so that you are filled to the measure of all the fullness of the resurrection life and power of God!
and now let the LORD be praised!
AMEN
