The LORD is speaking to me once again about expansion and claiming lost ground.

• Are we preparing — or actually prepared for — the coming influx of new believers, new converts, returning prodigals?
• Are we ready to receive Miracles, Signs, and Wonders?
• Are we ready to morph The Church into the Church God designed us to be?
• Are we ready, in short, are we ready to Be The Church — rather than just attending Church?

I see a huge expansion coming to those parts of The Church willing to accept it and pay the price of dying to self and living for Him alone!

Our present Church buildings, I see holding four or five ‘Services’ a day — each one running into the next, and probably ending in the early hours of the next day.

I see House Churches burgeoning — packed out with believers and new seekers, because they are now outside the confines of the Church building.

I hear the words of The LORD say: “I AM sending the fulfillment of My Word.

Behold, the days are coming,” says The LORD God, “when I will send a famine on the land.

Not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing The Words of The LORD!

They shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east; they shall run to and fro, seeking The Word of The LORD — but shall not find it! (Amos 8:11)

I AM sending My Holy Spirit in power to bring repentance, renewal, awakening, and revival.

He will bring Signs and Wonders with Him.

He will bring conviction — not condemnation — and He will sweep many into The Kingdom!

It is time to be prepared to expand beyond your own vision — into My vision!

It is time to ‘do’ Church My way — not your way!

It is time to welcome the rich, the poor, the last, the lost, the lonely, the widows, the orphans, the unloveable, and the unreached.

My Son died for ALL — My Kingdom is open to ALL.”

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 3:16-18.

“It is time to ‘Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings. Do not spare. Lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes!” (Isaiah 54:2)
