Why is Christ seldom known as the “Apostle and High Priest” Heb.3:1? Why is the apostolic model of Christ’s ministry absent? (I know the arguments that there are no more apostles; let us agree to disagree here.) My problem is, after all these centuries why has not the ecclesia emerged as a voice of authority in the earth? Are not the words of Isaiah the prophet true – “the increase of His government there will be no end?”
Many will point to our culture and declare there is an increase of lawlessness from which I agree. They say “these are the marks of the end times,” maybe so, but if the Ecclesia gives up and surrenders this culture to evil, that is not the fault of the world system it is the fault of the Ecclesia. “When the Son of Man returns will He find faith on the earth”
Consider prayer as taught by Christ, “your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” Christ here puts kingdom government as something attainable in the earth in every generation. However, here’s the catch, do we desire what Christ desires in the earth today? Or, have we resurrected a defeated devil and made him the supreme master of this universe. The church treats darkness as an unstoppable force. Has the Ecclesia fallen to new lows making null-and-void the finished work of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit’s baptism? Someone will have to answer for this!
Most believers would rather work to elect a conservative voice to public office rather than acknowledge an apostolic voice mandating kingdom governmental authority in the earth. Did someone out there say ouch! Because of the lack of apostolic government in the Ecclesia many big-named ministry have fallen to disrepute and weakened our resolve to fight.
There is a new wind blowing over this land, if you can hear it, and if you can catch it, then there is hope.
