Building to Be Strong

Courage to Change

God has designed His House to be built so that sin can be redeemed and crushed. God’s way to "have church" allows relationships to be healed and sin and weakness to be removed. This is God’s heart for His people around the world. We want to tell you how good people can reach their potential now.

After ten years of being a Christian, most people in clergy-controlled, attendance-based religion are not very much stronger than they were after their first year. This is not good. If our one-year-old children grew to be ten but they were still not any stronger or wiser than when they were one, that would be very sad. If you had a ten-year-old child in your family who was still as weak as a one-year-old, and still couldn’t walk or talk much better than a one-year-old—as a father or mother that would break your heart, wouldn’t it?

How do you think our Father in heaven feels when all of His People should be strong and wise and “full of the Holy Ghost and full of wisdom,” and “ought to be teachers by now” “no longer infants,” doing the work of God... yet many of us are still no stronger than one-year-olds? This is true around the world, and it breaks God’s heart. We can’t sing enough songs or “preach” enough sermons to change that, because we have not been building God’s way in God’s House.

God has designed His House to be built so that sin can be redeemed and crushed. God’s way to “have church” allows relationships to be healed and sin and weakness to be removed. This is God’s heart for His people around the world. We want to tell you how good people can reach their potential now. We can allow the gifts in the Body of Christ to be built together into a habitation of God, filled with God’s glory. There is a way God wants us to be built so we can see sin’s power broken in real life and no longer be slaves to all of our weaknesses. God’s plan is to build relationships, not to have problems all the time. God has a wonderful way to build His House with wonderful people. Until now, religion in the world has usually built God’s House wrong, with men as bosses and holy men, and “attending” meetings as their definition of “church.” We have not known how to build, but now we must learn how to build. God said we must be “very careful how we build.” There are special truths that have always been in your Bible that will change your life and change the way Church is expressed, in order to more highly exalt our King Jesus and see His Dream fulfilled!

God wants to build His House so we can all be stronger together. He wants to build His House so the gates of hell cannot prevail any longer. He wants to build His House so relationships can be healed. He wants to build His House so that He will be free to heal our bodies, our minds, and our souls. He wants to build His House so we can be strong and wise, and the Good News of Jesus can go forth, stronger than ever before.

Do you have the courage to hear these things? Will you obey the Word of God as you hear these things? Will you change your lives regardless of the cost? If you have the courage to obey and to risk, then please read on.
