I felt like the three word that He gave me were Action, Culture, and Community. And I felt like the Lord is saying that now He is requiring action from His people. He desires that we be change agents for Him. He taught us how to go through boot camp, He taught us how to go through special training, and He told us last year He wanted us to be walking in a spirit of excellence. I believe that this year He is saying He wants His change agents. We should call ourselves “change agents” for the Body of Christ and we go out and we are to find our specifically what the Holy Spirit is saying to us individually and what we are supposed to be doing, what the Holy Spirit is requiring of us. He knows everything about us, He knows every thread that runs through our very being. He knows what we need and He knows what we need to do. And we need to get to get to the place in our lives where we get direction specifically from the throne room of God. Than we live and breath God’s heart in every matter.

He gave me the word culture. God wants to create a culture in the Body of Christ. I wasn’t sure what that looked like and I asked the Lord, and it is Kingdom living, being Kingdom minded. We have talked about that before. It is no coincidence that Le is having the Sunday night group studying the book of Matthew when there is such a focus on the Kingdom of God that Matthew portrays to us. Matt. 6:33 Seek the Kingdom first; John 18:36 My kingdom is not of this world. We are not to be of this world. Within this culture, within this house, there is inner healing, there is getting set free from addictions; we saw that displayed this morning already, and that is just the beginning. There is walking in wholeness and there is living a Godly life that is not going to be an option any longer with God. It is going to be a requirement. It is no longer well you can have inner healing if you want to get whole, no it is going to be a requirement that God is placing within this house, within the Body of Christ. A culture that says, when people walk through those doors they see a seriousness of God in this place, and getting set free from drug, alcohol, pornography, adultery, stealing, what ever it is. It is not about shame, it is not about condemnation, it is about getting set free, it is about saying I am done with that, I am ready to put that behind me and go forward with God. There is help out there. Shame is keeping you from getting help. Pornography, all of that is huge and it is rampant in this country and in this world and we have help for that through a loving God. It can no longer be accepted.

And I saw that we can’t have one foot in the world and one foot in the church. We are creating a culture. We are all leaders in the Body of Christ. We lead something. He (Pastor Steve) leads this church, I help him, and you all help him. You all lead something. You lead your home, you lead something in your office, you lead a business you lead something. God is requiring that His bride be spotless for the leaders.

And I saw in community that we want to affect community, serve the community, first by creating a community within our culture. I saw that we would have different things going on like maybe guitar class, drama class, crocheting, needlepoint, quilting, maybe businessmen getting together praying so that when they go into their offices they are built up, they have a support network. The same thing with the nurses, and I even saw fishermen gathering together. And those groups when they are out there they say wow, or what about the mothers group. I saw our young mothers, we have a lot of young infants right now, when they are in the doctor’s office and we have a mothers group that you could come to and invite them. I saw all these things happening, an avenue to get the community in and us out to the community. Just an avenue like that. We advertise it in the current, or wherever. We get the word out that this is going on. They are avenues into the community. I saw that maybe you would volunteer in a place that you never thought you would be, or maybe in a place that God said go there and volunteer and you aren’t quite ready, but God said now is the time to go and volunteer there. Back to the church, I saw that the prophetic painting, that it was time for that to start to happen, and I saw right there in that corner would be a prefect spot, there is a light there and all we is some artists and some prophetic people that want to do prophetic painting. And I saw that is something we need to put into place. You know who you are. And I saw that the twenty-four hours that we had went so well, even Pastor Steve said the next day when we all got together for church and the Wed. after that you could feel the atmosphere. And I saw that maybe once a year is not enough, that we could get to the place where we could have it once a month, or maybe 12 hour prayer session three times a month with prayer and worship. I want to turn South Jersey upside down. Do you? If we pray and we work together and we create community and culture and love maybe we turn South Jersey upside down. I am ruined for the ordinary. I don’t want to just come to church on Sunday.
