As chaotic, tumultuous, and anxiety-ridden as the world is right now, we are living at a time where seeds of divine revelation and restoration are starting to break through and bear fruit. In this time of great unhappiness and discontent all across the world, God is fulfilling promises of His Word that many have prayed and longed for. 

But a great many believers are missing what the Lord is doing because the "new thing" he is again ushering in in this appointed time isn't coming through traditional, denominational channels or with institutional religious oversight. The Holy Spirit is directly teaching and guiding people in a way that is challenging everything we think we know and we've been taught about how God works.

Throughout human history, the Lord has progressively pushed generations () and individuals in those generations) into closer, deeper, more personal relationship with Him. In this season that we're in, God is raising up an ekklesia of today whom I refer to as the "Ekklesia Kuriakos" which in Greek literally means an "assembly of the called, who belong to the Lord." These are believers who are answering His call to come into direct relationship with Him and who have hearts and minds to be guided directly by the Holy Spirit.

While some would ask, "What's the difference between the Ekklesia and "the church" as we have come to know it, the Ekklesia of today are radically different from that, which most of us recognize as typical or religious Christians. 

At its lackadaisical best, the Christian lifestyle in our society has largely been reduced to that of a "spectator sport" of people who "sit on the sidelines and watch the game."

And at its neurotic worse, it has become a social and political ideology of intolerance, of narrow mindedness, and bigotry against any who do not fit self-defined profile or wield its formalized banner. 

These aren't the people I'm talking to here. I'm speaking to believers within Christendom who find themselves longing for greater significance and who would be instruments of Christ's influence to bless others and affect greater positive change in the world.

Christian religion has failed to teach its converts how God has graced each and every believer with divine power and authority. They don't know what it is to be led and empowered by the Holy Spirit. They're trying to affect change through their own efforts and through human means, instead of recognizing, aligning with ,and relying on that which the Lord provides to accomplish His purpose. 

Nothing less produces lasting, impactful results. Frankly, this is why the world is in the condition that we find it. But in this appointed season, this "kairos" time, God is raising up a people who will change it; a people who are not content to leave things as they are; a people who recognize that the power Christ promised us isn't of us, but flows from the throne of Heaven through us.

The kingdom of God is advancing and will continue to. While there are those who do not have eyes to see what is occurring yet and believe that some things are simply impossible in our world, more and more are discovering firsthand each and every day that all things are indeed possible with God.
