«Born to Yield»
Pastor Andrey Shapovalov
The Church of our day has come to an exhaustion not because there is something wrong with it, but because it has come to the point where it cannot simply do something for God.
We were never created to move independently, each doing something for the Kingdom of God. We were born to contain God Himself, who will move through us, on this earth.
We move and grow to spiritual maturity and adulthood, and then Christ Himself moves into you and begins to live, in you and through you.
Spiritual maturity is our inability to exist without God. It is a complete and total dependence on the Spirit of God.
(2 Cor. 6:16) "Is the Temple of God compatible with idols? We are the Temple of the Living God. God said, "I will dwell in them, [live in them], I will remain with them and be their God, and they will be My people."
Dear ones, please recognize this season, our actions are ending and the actions of the Holy Spirit are beginning, for those who have not recognized this season of transition, it will be very difficult to accommodate the next movement of the Holy Spirit.
We all know that like always connects with like, nature itself and everything around us testifies to us about this.
Do you know that the saved and the like are absolutely two different categories of people.
Christ will not be able to return to earth, because He has not yet found one like Him, the Bridegroom will come for the Bride who has prepared herself, that is, who has become like Him.
There are many disagreements about what the preparation of the Church of Christ means, someone says it is Holiness, yes, this is one of the details, but this is not all, someone says Christ will come for the Church when the Gospel is preached throughout the earth, yes, this is one of the details, but this is not all.
For me, the Church that has prepared itself has become like, that is, it has contained the same Spirit of God as in Christ and has become the likeness of its Bridegroom.
(Gen. 2:22,23) 22 The Lord God took the rib that was taken from the man, made a woman from it, and brought her to the man. 23 The man said, "At last! She is just like me! Her bone is of my bone, and her flesh is of my flesh. She was taken from the man, so I will call her woman."
That is why there will be many saved, but the Bride is a completely different substance, she will be the likeness of Christ, she is born of Him and prepared by the Holy Spirit only for Him.
This is a type of God's plan, what He is doing, He is creating a bride for His son, by the Holy Spirit, and at that moment when the bride of Christ is ready, then and when the Spirit prepares the bride, then the Spirit and the bride will cry out together: Come!
(Rom. 8:29) "For those whom He knew before the foundation of the world He predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.
Soon demons and devils will no longer see you, they will encounter Christ himself, and it is for such a church that Jesus will come.
You will be covered with the essence of Christ, those who look at you will be surprised, because in front of them will stand a man whom they knew, but what will be on you and inside you will surprise everyone.
The Church will have the same essence (Jesus is Christ and the Church is Christ)
We will know and recognize each other, but in the spiritual world, by all spiritual beings, we will be recognized as Christ’s that is, His Bride, and His Church.
That is why Jesus said that he does nothing unless he sees the Father doing it, because when Jesus did it, God did it.
When the Church learns this great principle, then when the Church moves, it will not be the Church that moves, but God Himself, and no one can stand against God.
Everything you try to do, even with good intentions, the forces of darkness will always stand against it, but if God said it, then it has already happened, and no one can resist what, was already happened in the Spirit.
The life of Jesus Christ on earth is a prototype of how the Bride of Christ will live and act on earth.
The old Christianity has exhausted itself long ago, it is not subject to correction, it has long since turned into a closed sect, pleasing only it self.
A new time has begun and everyone will very soon have to decide where you are and who you are with, even now no one will be able to hide anymore.
Now individuals are rising who will later take spiritual responsibility for their cities and countries, now new churches are rising, in the Power and Glory of God, saving the perishing and hell-going world, performing miracles, signs and wonders.
And we live in a time where we must stop doing something on our own and enter the season of “YIELDING” this is what it means to be a son of God.
May the Heavenly Father bless you!
