“Christiality”
Dream & Teaching
April 8th, 2020
(Because of the length, there are two parts)
The Dream began with my sitting in front of a computer typing and clicking away but as I was typing it seemed as if I was attempting to accomplish some task of a christian nature but it had become extremely frustrating.
There was an icon I kept clicking on, it was a black rectangular shape of about 2 inches long by half inch in width. Initially there was only one on the screen but when I clicked on it, another one appeared, nothing else happened so I clicked on it again and another black box icon appeared and the more I clicked, the more they appeared all over the screen.
And I heard the word,
“Christiality”
pronounced Chris’ti’al’i’ty
From Latin -itatem (nominative -itas), Suffix denoting State or Condition
In this case of the Body of Christ
Each time I clicked on what I believed to be a tool or a method that would accomplish the very thing I so desperately desired, it only replicated the big black icon which was of absolutely no use. However not knowing how to do anything differently and although I did attempt to do other things to no affect I returned to clicking the icon hoping that eventually I would achieve my goal.
End of dream
Regarding the Church
The above dream is exactly why we Believers are in the midst of a reset of all we consider to be “Normal Christianity!”
9 And when they came unto the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
10 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God. (1 Chronicles 13:9-13)
The two passages above are very telling of the character of the Lord. Even though Uzza who was probably a very good man, who was attempting to stabilize the cart, he was struck dead. Moral of the story,
“There is a right way and a wrong way”
to do the things pertaining to God!
We pray for others and sometimes we see healings, we pray for another for their deliverance and perhaps they are delivered. We pray for a dying loved one and occasionally they recover. We see sickness and heartache and loss of hope and life. Many are in depression and we see devastation all around us and yet we the Church have little to offer. We keep hitting that convenient well-known little black icon on our screens each time hoping it will bring the needed response to the pain and suffering and each time it simply replicates without solving a single problem!
This replication is what we do when we bring another into the Kingdom. They come in with wide eyes and a spirit that is a kin to a sponge to the things of God. These new disciples read Acts and are expecting to see those very things that took place in the early Church. Yet they only see a very small semblance of what once was!
How has our Faith become so benign?
How do we begin with disciples who walked in the power of the Lord Jesus healing, delivering and setting the captives free and now we have little to no power?
The Church (us) has become so lost and ineffective that actually expecting and observing a modern day miracle is more like spinning “the wheel of fortune” than practicing Christianity. How has the Church arrived at this place?
The followers of Jesus moved among the sick and the people knew they walked in the power of the Lord and they would place their sick among the walkways knowing that “even the very shadow” of the disciples would heal the sick. Where is that type of power and faith, did we lose it or did we give it away by making wrong choices?
Before the great harvest that is about to come, the Holy Spirit is about to re-arrive in a power we are not familiar. And yet before that moment, Repentance has to come!
There is no other way, everything the Lord does, He does for one distinct purpose, Redemption!
This plague may be viewed as many things but a gift is certainly not one of them! However the Lord must address the factual state of His Church, we have been on a respirator for many years, how can we help others when we ourselves are dying?
However the death of the old and the ineffectual is not a bad thing but rather it is life from the dead. There are obvious reasons why the Church is about to breathe her last breath.
There are five reasons why the Church has lost her power and her authority!
1. The upside down Church
The structure of the Church is upside down!
When Jesus established his Church, there was a structure. Jesus himself is the chief cornerstone as directed by Matthew 21:42, Mark 12:10, Luke 20:17, Acts 4:11, Ephesians 2:20, 1 Peter 2:6 and 1 Peter 2:7.
And joining the Lord as He is the Chief Cornerstone are the Apostles and the Prophets as the foundation of the Church. There are other passages regarding this structure.
19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: Ephesians 2:19-21
Pastors were never meant to carry the heavy weight of the Church! There is no mystery why Pastors burn out, if they are truly called, we use them up and cast them aside. In effect they have been placed into a position of doing the job of all the five fold ministers. The Church is thereby turned upside down from her intend structure.
2. Disconnection of our Jewish Roots
The loss of our “Engraftedness” into the Jewish branches
The Church of today has lost the power of her early beginnings. While there may be pockets of these supernatural events occurring, they are not the norm.
When we place things in their proper order, Jesus is the root, the Jews are the tree and Christianity is the branch which has been engrafted.
Now we the Church have attempted to attach ourselves directly to the root (Jesus) and completely avoiding our attachment to the (Jewish) tree. How? By not keeping the Sabbath which is the Shabbat. By not keeping the Feasts of the Lord, they are never referred to as the Feasts of the Jews but they are the Feasts of the Lord.
There is NO place in all the Bible that states, that the Feasts are for the Jew and Not the Gentile. What the Bible does say is “The Feasts are the Lord’s Appointed Times”.
This did not change when the New Testament came. The Lord at no time declared that the Feasts were no longer necessary but even He observed the Feasts as an example to all Believer.
Unfortunately the Church has become accustomed to celebrating pagan holidays such as Easter & Christmas.
There is a Right way and a Wrong Way!
PART 2
(Realizing this article is a longer one but necessary, I have cut it in to two parts, perhaps you might consider reading part each of 2 days)
Remember the story of the Ark and the Cart and the death of Uzza that we discussed earlier?
There is a right way and a wrong way!
Does not the Lord have the privilege and honor of the things that pertain to Hm as being done properly?
There are many Christians and even some Messianic believers who proclaim Jesus only. Who could possibly argue with this statement? While this may initially sound true and correct, the believing Church has for this reason forfeited its power because of bypassing the tree.
How can a branch gather nourishment without being attached? This avoidance of the tree and attaching to the root translates to the acceptance of Jesus as God but not as man, and yet He is both God and Man and must be accepted as both!
Do you not see the irony in this line of thought?
One day I heard the Spirit speak to me saying,
“We have accepted Him (Jesus) but not who He is.”
While this sounds contradictory, let us proceed.
This is akin to saying,
I receive the gift (salvation) you Jesus bring to me but I do not receive you in your entirety,
I only receive the one who brought the gift!
The Church is in effect saying,
“I receive Your Deity but not Your Humanity!”
Jewish Roots has power, it was established by the Lord,
It is His Way. The enemy has deceived us in to thinking those things belong to the Jews, I assure you, it belongs to the True Believers who desperately want to see the Church as it was in the book of Acts.
3. Loss of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost
The loss of the power gifts
Without the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, you will very rarely ever experience the healing of the sick nor will you ever raise the dead or see deliverance come to the hopeless.
While these events do occur today, they are rare but those who do see them and are ministers to these people are full of the Holy Ghost, they are Spirit filled Believers. Many things can be said of Spirit filled Saints but none are better than the story of the Ten Virgins.
All were virgins, meaning they all belonged to the Lord, they ten were all saved! But five ran out of oil and the oil simply represents the inner residing of the Holy Spirit and his communication with you and His anointing upon you.
The benefits of the Holy Spirit are many but here are just 7 of them.
- You will be as close to Heaven as possible all the while you are still on this earth.
- Your boldness in the Lord will be magnified above and beyond your own self. Even if you tend to be on the more shy side, when you begin to minister, you will be a very different person, one of great conviction.
- Your ability to read and have a much greater understanding of the Word of God will be most obvious to you and those around you. The eyes of your understanding will be opened and you will have the ability to explain the scriptures to others in a clear and concise manner.
- You will begin to see things in your life that defy your own natural abilities.
- When you pray in the spirit, the Spirit will go before you and you will see the favor of God like never before. Doors will open for you!
- You will begin to see new and creative ways of ministering to others and they will respond to you!
- And it will be your obvious love for them that will win them.
It is said that when you become a Christian, It is God’s gift to you!
However…
When you receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit,
It is God’s gift to those around you!
4. Ministers who were never called!
When I use the word minister, it is for All of the five 5-fold ministers, not just Pastors.
This is not an easy topic to discuss however I will make a statement really not a statement but a word I received from the Lord some years ago.
And I heard the Lord say,
“Many who are behind the pulpit, I never called!”
Unfortunately many men and women who could have chosen any number of vocations chose wrongly. Perhaps it was a parent or some other who pushed them in to ministry or they simply felt it was an honorable profession.
While the Lord has undoubtedly come to them and tried to make them useable, many if not most have decided to do things as being right in their own eyes. If they do not change with the events that are about to take place, they will be removed.
5. Ministers failing to teach the Word of God
This perhaps is the most difficult to address. The reason is the unimaginable number of people, men and women going into eternity without any hope, condemned to Hell.
Some of these ministers were called by the Lord however they began to compromise in small ways which grew into larger more important areas. They began to wash over certain Scriptures so it would not offend. It was far more important to not chase away those who paid to keep the lights on and the Pastor’s salary paid.
These men and women who have failed to teach the whole counsel of God. They have been given many opportunities to change from their arrogant and wicked ways but chose to live the life they had become accustomed, one of relative ease and non-offensive. Even if that meant for countless sheep under their teaching to enter eternity and hell as a result of holding back the truth.
Woe to these men, the Lord will remove you!
This is truly a hard word but it has and will continue to be heard especially now as we are about to see a great revival.
Note, I did not intend to speak such a hard word but even now I hear the Lord’s heart concerning this thing.
This Corona Virus is truly difficult for all of us in the short term, many have lost their lives and family members. However it is my belief the Lord has allowed this, He did not bring it but allowed it to come to change all mankind but especially the Church.
According to Isaiah 2:2 and Micah 4:1 both state the Last Days began when Israel was again re-established. Therefore, none of the following verses had any real meaning until 1948, only then did the Last Day’s time clock actually begin.
Matthew 24
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, (virus pandemic) and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
Dear Ones,
This Covid19 is not just a wake up call, but it is a reset to all humanity and also as to how we as Believers live our lives. The Church is taking her last few desperate breathes, we are in a season of great change. All of these hardships are all pointing us toward Restoration to the power and anointing of the early Church but before Restoration comes, Repentance must come and it must come to the true Church. We can not continue to be nominal Christians!
Everything is about to change, the time is coming and is now upon us that we Believers who are called by His name are to begin to fall down before the Lord and begin to seek Him with aall our hearts and plead with Him to change us in order to fulfill our destinies and His purposes.
Blessings to you and your house,
Steve Grable
