You entry reminded me of an email I wrote to a friend of mine 7 years ago. In which I said similar things. I thought I would just paste some of those thoughts below to confirm the truth of your words. Keep listening to our Master Appolus and encouraging us all to listen to his will and his heart for the harvest that is yet to come. God bless, Andrew "About what is happening with church. I am coming to the conclusion that Yahweh is doing something very peculiar in the midst of our uneasiness. He is the one who is stirring us up over the state of our priorities. He is the one who is causing a frustration (to put it mildly) over our church subcultures. It is a holy dissatisfaction given by our holy master. I am fully aware that I am not the centre of this. It is God, it is definitely God. To coin a phrase from a letter written to the trust that employs me - "When riding a dead horse, it is usually best to dismount". If your mount isn't moving - check it, it might be dead. The Spirit of Christ has moved from the church (as we know it) and we would be wise to see what is going on and to move with him. Exactly what that means, is going to be different in each circumstance. It is going to be a frightening time for those who look to structures for their 'identity' in Christ. But I believe it is necessary and that it will be a natural thing for those who really are his children, or (to shift the metaphor) are truly sheep and listen to the voice of the shepherd. Our pasture fields have been overgrazed, they have changed, we have eaten up the paddock that our current church structures are in, and the farmer of our souls has opened up the gate to a new paddock, one with untouched green grass. He is calling us to come and feed on this, his new provision. I feel like I do not have to feel guilty about this. It is not a reactionary attitude of rebellion. In humility I believe it truly is the Spirit of Christ. My eyes have finally been opened to see this for what it is. I have a sense that this is happening right across the body of Christ, it is the same holy dissatisfaction. I also sense that some of those being touched by the hunger for Christ are grimly chewing on at the man-made roots of barren grass stubble because of a sense of undying loyalty to the paddock itself, this is in spite of the fact that the gate to a green paddock lies open before them. The holy farmer will soon send out his dogs to 'hound' them until they obey his voice and move into his provision. The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want, He makes me lie in green pasture, He leads me beside quiet waters He restores my soul Now to get on with it, and to move in obedience, that is the challenge! The Spirit has spoken to me in the past about a new work that he has for our generation and also for the one that will follow us. For me he has directed us to be involved with restoring the "father to the sons and the sons to the fathers". He has told me to work with the lepers in our society because they will be the ones who have given up hope and therefore are open to receive the first outpouring of his Spirit. " Hi there Appolus,

“About what is happening with church. I am coming to the conclusion that Yahweh is doing something very peculiar in the midst of our uneasiness. He is the one who is stirring us up over the state of our priorities. He is the one who is causing a frustration (to put it mildly) over our church subcultures. It is a holy dissatisfaction given by our holy master. I am fully aware that I am not the centre of this. It is God, it is definitely God. To coin a phrase from a letter written to the trust that employs me – “When riding a dead horse, it is usually best to dismount”. If your mount isn’t moving – check it, it might be dead.

The Spirit of Christ has moved from the church (as we know it) and we would be wise to see what is going on and to move with him. Exactly what that means, is going to be different in each circumstance. It is going to be a frightening time for those who look to structures for their ‘identity’ in Christ. But I believe it is necessary and that it will be a natural thing for those who really are his children, or (to shift the metaphor) are truly sheep and listen to the voice of the shepherd.

Our pasture fields have been overgrazed, they have changed, we have eaten up the paddock that our current church structures are in, and the farmer of our souls has opened up the gate to a new paddock, one with untouched green grass. He is calling us to come and feed on this, his new provision. I feel like I do not have to feel guilty about this. It is not a reactionary attitude of rebellion. In humility I believe it truly is the Spirit of Christ. My eyes have finally been opened to see this for what it is.

The holy farmer will soon send out his dogs to ‘hound’ them until they obey his voice and move into his provision.

The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want,
He makes me lie in green pasture,
He leads me beside quiet waters
He restores my soul

Now to get on with it, and to move in obedience, that is the challenge!

The Spirit has spoken to me in the past about a new work that he has for our generation and also for the one that will follow us. For me he has directed us to be involved with restoring the “father to the sons and the sons to the fathers”. He has told me to work with the lepers in our society because they will be the ones who have given up hope and therefore are open to receive the first outpouring of his Spirit. “

It is amazing that we are living in these times. "the first thing they lose is their gift of discernment. This is a gift that is given only to those who ae actively engaging the enemy in battle. What followas is an inability to think for themselves and to understand the evil world that they live in.” Of course that is exactly right. Its a sad thing to see. Not just sad, but scary, this is undoubtedly the blindness that results in willful ignorance. Yet this will also be an incredible time for the remnant. May the scales fall from the eyes of the blind and may those who will, join the Lord's remnant here on earth...........Frank Hi brother Timbob, good to hear from you.

This post is so profound that I don't even know how to comment. For months I've known in my spirit that we're in a time of sifting and separation as the wheat and tares are parting company. And for a l;ong time, I've seen time of incredible tribulation where a false church flurishes but the true saints are not in its midst. The remnant; those who worship the Lord Jesus in spirit and in truth are in small groups. Most of them a great distance from where they formerly called home. Most of them in fellowship with saints that they never knew previously. Small gatherings, assembled by the Lord, to maintain the testimony of Jesus Christ in the midst of the shaking. Thank you so much for this post. A few days ago, I was in the garage when I came across a copy of David Meyers newsletter from October 2006. This was no accident and I was quickly drawn to the following statement which tells of the state of the organized church these days: "In the second group of scripture verses above, (II Peter 3:3-7) the apostle Peter describes the same condition that Jeremiah revealed and used thewords "willingly ignorant" to describe the people of earth in the last days. This is especially true of the professing Christians. Very few of them ever talk about bible prophecy anymore. One vital point regarding this serious problem that I urge you to never forget is that it is not the work of the antichrist to deceive the unbelievers of this word! Satan already has the unbelievers right where he wants them. The work of the antichrist is to deceive the Christians. When Christians stop reading the true bible, and when they no longer pray and fight the enemy, the first thing they lose is their gift of discernment. This is a gift that is given only to those who ae actively engaging the enemy in battle. What followas is an inability to think for themselves and to understand the evil world that they live in." There is a few more words to the paragraph, but this is the bulk of it. I'm planning on referring to it in a post in the future; a post that will probably contain a link to this post as well. Thanks again. This is a must read for everyone who loves the Lord Jesus. Blessings always in Jesus name. timbob Good evening. This post is so profound that I don’t even know how to comment.

You're giving me shivers. I haven't been on Wordpress in a while--I'll have to go back and read your more recent posts. God has been saying much the same thing to me, only I wondered whether it was a word just for my information, or whether I was supposed to share it. The stuff I got seemed kind of harsh toward the institutional church, at a time when I can see clearly that He is still working within it. Still, it was so 'not me' that I feel sure these things I saw are really from Him. Wow! You’re giving me shivers.
