Maturing City Church

Maturing City Church

What we call having church will change as we know of it. What we think of being a Christian will change. What we think is God’s will and order will change. It is that we must change according to his plan instead of trying to change his ways to fit our mindsets.

The local church fulfills an importation role at this moment in the church. Its purpose is to keep the truth that is being restored until the rest of the body is ready for this wine. On the contrary, the local church is not God’s perfect or mature will for the body of Christ. God’s mature way for the Body of Christ is the city church.

Local Church buildings will become meeting places, centers for equipping, training the saints and centers for apostolic ministries of the city church. Apostolic networks will become financial, resources arms and carryout special operations for the body of Christ.

The city church will become the center of Christian activity in the body of Christ. The foundation of the church will be build from the city church, which are the apostles and the prophets. The city church is the habitation of God in the Spirit.

There will be apostles and apostolic teams going forth to plant not local churches instead city churches. The vision of the Body of Christ will change. Our eyes will be open to the real will of God for his church. Apostles will see this through the Holy Spirit and begin to lead the way toward a mature church.

The Holy Spirit is speaking to his church through his holy apostles and prophets of today about the destiny of the church, what the church will become, and the church in the end times. The vision of the Church is being reveal to this time of the church.

What the Holy Spirit is speaking today may take years upon years and even most of what is being reveal may not happen in our lifetime. On the other hand it may come to pass very fast. In all these things coming will take time to grow and mature into. However, we need to know what is ahead of us so we can stay on tack by his grace. When the Spirit gives truth, He gives us grace to apply and walk in a truth and He gives us time to mature and obey a truth.

What is going to happen in our time is the rooting out and pulling down, then to destroy and to throw down. If this is competed in our time then we will have the building and the planting. However, this all could happen within a short time. We need to learn and know what the Holy Spirit is doing. God may be speaking such things, and we have to wait for His timely to walk in the prophetic and revelation that is coming forth.

One thing that is sure for our time is this is the beginning days of the apostolic church. This is the beginning of the third reformation of the church. This is the beginning of the end of the restoration times of the church.

Furthermore, the Body of Christ shall become a glorious church, a holy church, a mature church, and a united church. The Body of Christ will be composed of city churches and regional churches through the world.
