A Call to the Ekklesia- The Called Out Ones
2/6/26 at 1:11 am
I feel my heart beating out of my chest in excitement and urgency from the Spirit of the Lord. I’m both laughing and crying as I write what is on my heart.
We are standing in a divine moment, where the atmosphere of heaven, is pressing with a large amount of force, into the gravity of earth. We are in active transition.
What is unfolding in this hour, is not just a passing wind, it is a permanent shifting of the foundations, in the heavenly realms.
Many are now recognizing that the more we draw near to God, the more He is always and ever willing to draw near to us. God said to test Him in His faithfulness, to give all of ourselves to Him, and watch what He will do in return. He said that He would open up the floodgates of Heaven within us, within anyone who would fully consecrate and give every part of themselves over to Him.
I have been doing this. I have been humbling my myself under His mighty hand. And His the Light of His countenance is making all things new! He is over abundantly proving His faithfulness!
I have always understood “setting my face like flint”, as simply fixing my gaze on Him and His purposes, His nature. But, my husband just recently helped me see a deeper dimension of that truth. He showed me that flint isn’t just something fixed for standing still, but it is used to strike and ignite a fire. It’s the friction that sets things in motion. When we set our gaze on God alone, on His Kingdom and His righteousness, the Holy Spirit strikes against our resolve, and ignites a fire that illuminates everything. This is the beauty of His conviction, it’s a Light that shows us exactly what is hindering our pace. It’s not a judgment that pushes us away, but a holy spark that draws us ever closer. It’s a partnership! And as we walk in obedience, even when it is hard to understand, He doesn’t just judge our shortcomings, He consumes them. What a blessing to change the way we think and renew our minds!
Lovers of God, stay the course. Draw near.
May we always be careful, to not let our emotions and humanistic love, entangle us, or distract us from what really matters, which is our eternal identity, in Christ. We have been born from above.
Whose name do you bear? Are you walking on this earth as an eternal co-heir of the Kingdom of Heaven, or are you still identifying as descendants of the first Adam?
Do not loose perspective on what God has spoken.
His Word does not change or shift, just because the circumstances around us do.
What He has said, will always remain. It always has and always will be.
Do not let the weariness of the battles steal your appointed season! Do not lay down your courage now! We are at the very threshold of the unveiling!
Hallelujah!
Our Lord God, the Commander of Angel Armies, is adjusting our sight in this time!
He is steadying what has felt unstable, and anchoring our souls firmly, within the veil of His presence. He is revealing Himself in the fabric of our everyday lives, leading us into a deep Epignosis (ἐπίγνωσις), a full, experiential knowledge of who He is!
This isn’t just a knowledge we’ve settled in our minds, it’s an illumination that breaks over us, like a sunrise. While the world searches for information, we are standing in the dawning of a Truth, that only the Spirit of the Living God can ignite.
“For God, who said, ‘Let brilliant light shine out of darkness,’ is the one who has cascaded his light into us, the brilliant dawning light of the glorious Epignosis (ἐπίγνωσις), the knowledge of the glory of God, as we gaze into the face of Jesus Christ.” (2 Corinthians 4:6 TPT)
As we behold Him Face to Face, Panim el Panim (פָּנִים אֶל־פָּנִים), He is clearing the confusion left behind, by a season that was far more than a quiet winter. We realize now that we have been in a relentless spiritual battle, a siege against the very birth of the promise within us. The enemy saw the delivery approaching and fought with everything he had to keep us from this moment of recognition. He tried to use the silence of delay and the heat of the struggle to blind us, knowing that once we locked eyes with the Father in the heavenly realms, the victory would be sealed.
But the battle for our perspective is over, the veil has been torn, and the dizziness of the fight is giving way to the clarity of His Face. If there is any lingering distance, it is only the remaining tether of our own unbelief, the quiet lack of faith that hesitates at the threshold of the miraculous.
Yet, God is inviting us past even that, for He wants nothing, absolutely nothing, to stand in the way of our full unity with Him. He is jealous for this union. This is the ultimate recognition, the Christ within us, recognizing the Christ within the Word, whether it moves beside us in this realm, or speaks to us from the next. In the midst of transition and tears, the Spirit is breaking the barriers of our limited sight. This is the Epignosis (ἐπίγνωσις), the experiential knowing that happens outside of linear time.
We are being joined with the ‘Edah (עֵדָה), the assembly of the Cloud of Witnesses, moving in a reality where those in the Spirit are just as present as those in the flesh. It is a convergence of the internal and the eternal, a recognition of His form, that transcends the veil.
I am learning, by experience, that when we lock eyes with the Father, we also find ourselves face to face with all those, in every tribe and nation, in every generation, throughout all the ages, for in Him, we are all eternally intertwined.
“With him I speak Panim el Panim (פָּנִים אֶל־פָּנִים), Face to Face, clearly and not in riddles, and he beholds the form of the Lord.” (Numbers 12:8)
We must shake off the fog of our own limited human understanding. Our own thinking is often our own worst enemy, it is a prison. No human has a full understanding of the things that will unfold in the days ahead, and Scripture tells us this. If we continue to cling to our own doctrines and theologies and lock the doors of our belief systems, we will end up refusing the very Light that we claim to seek. We will run the risk of becoming like those who stood in the very presence of Jesus, who was the literal embodiment of every word they had ever memorized, yet they couldn’t see Him. They remained blind to Him, because they were looking for a king who fit into the blueprints they had created in their own minds. The scripture even warns us against this when it says to “lean not upon our own understanding, but in all of our ways to acknowledge Him, and then He alone will be the one to make our paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6).
They couldn’t recognize the Messiah standing in their midst, because their traditional ideas and “studies” had become a ceiling, a limitation, rather than a gateway into the vastness and depths He would desire to take them. Their doctrines had left them unable to receive the very Life they had spent their entire lives searching and waiting for.
All of our striving, all of our vain imaginations and rigid expectations, move nothing forward in the heavenly realms or on the earth.
We are currently in a time and a place, of great sifting. We must rise in alignment of who we are as spiritual sons and daughters, in the heavenly places.
This is where He begins to reveal the path before us, with precision and perfect measure. He becomes the light to our feet, illuminating each step as we walk, but always in a way that keeps us dependent on Him. This requires a surrender of our own reasoning and carefully constructed plans. We must be willing to let Him interrupt, even dismantle, the frameworks we have relied upon. For if we cling to the way we think things should unfold, we risk missing the very direction He is leading. But as we draw near, He faithfully unveils His heart and His purposes, meeting us in the reality of the present moment, and revealing what is needed in real time.
This is the Kairos reality, the divine moment, that breaks through our linear schedules and reveals what God is doing right now. This total dependence is our only protection against deception, for when we stop trying to know the plan and start knowing the Father, we won’t be moved by the pressures of the world. If we do this, He says, “You will run again, and this time you will not collapse under the pressures.”
When the miracle of the loaves and fishes was finished, Jesus commanded the disciples to “gather up the remaining fragments so that nothing is lost.” There is a remnant of the remaining, the fragments that stayed, because they refused to leave His presence.
Think of Mary Magdalene at the tomb. She had no “position,” she had very little head knowledge, but she stood weeping, and she stayed. In Hebrew, this staying is more than just remaining in a place; it is a “waiting” that means to intertwine. This is the language of marriage, a holy abiding where we are being woven into Him. It is a state of quantum entanglement, I in You, and You in me, a Union so complete that it transcends form. While others may see a season as finished, and return to the rhythm of their lives, there are those who carry a persistent measure of faith that keeps them anchored in the eternal reality of being in the presence of God. It wasn’t that the others lacked love for God, it was that Mary possessed a hope that demanded an interaction and relationship. She refused to believe her union with God had been severed, because her spirit knew a resurrection was already in motion.
“I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” (Psalm 27:13 NKJV)
Because she stayed when everyone else went home, she was the first to experience the union of the new day. She knew Him instantly by His Voice. In that moment, He likely didn’t use her title or a formal Greek name; He spoke to her as Maryam, the root of which carries the ancient frequency of the Beloved. In one word, He spoke her identity.
I know this because this is exactly what the Father has done within me. He came to me, in a way so personal and intimate, that it reached all the way back into the memories of my childhood, relating to me in details that no one else could possibly know. It was a knowing that produced within me a reverent fear of God, in the most beautiful way. And with that, the fear of man naturally began to dwindle. Everything became so multidimensional and undeniable, that I truly began to understand and believe in the sovereignty of God. These experiences with God are now so numerous, that I cannot possibly list them all. I began to see the Cloud of Witnesses, even those who have passed form this earthy life, interacting with this world, through the most personal means…through a jacket worn by my son, a Bible left open to a specific scripture, and the resonance of songs and numbers that were special only to us. These moments are now happening every single day, and I can see Him doing this throughout our whole community. While many cannot see it yet, the Father is breaking the barriers for all of us. We are not just waiting for a future reunion; we are already intertwined in a living, breathing conversation that transcends the grave. I recognize the frequency of the new day, because I have been restored by that same Voice.
“Jesus said to her, ‘Mary!’ She turned and said to Him, ‘Rabboni!’ (which is to say, Teacher).” (John 20:16 NKJV)
The sheep recognize the Voice of the Shepherd because they know Him, by Epignosis, by experience, by relationship, (ἐπίγνωσις), the deep resonance of being called by their true name. They know Him because they are first known by Him.
In this, we must be careful not to wait for the recognition, or for the permission of men. Our seat of authority is established in the heavenly places, not through an earthly title or a human endorsement. We must remember the warning of Korah, who held a divine placement, but craved the validation of a visible position. He wanted the security of a recognized office more than he wanted the invisible weight of the Presence of God to prove His validity. If we wait for man to label us before we move, we have already stepped out of our true alignment.
Our recognition comes from the Father alone; the fruit of the Life within us is the only credential we need to legislate for the King.
This is the Ekklesia (ἐκκλησία), the called-out ones and the high governmental assembly designed to legislate on behalf of heaven itself. We are the legal extension of His victory, because He has formed His own life within us.
As the Body of Christ, we govern from victory. This is not a location, a building, or a system; we are a living and breathing movement of God because we have been formed as a new creative life. We are led by Him alone, for He is our only true source, and the reason behind everything that we do.
In the book of Acts, we can see this government become completely mobile, like a river that flows through the marketplace and the streets. This is how the authority of the Throne is carried through the hearts of the people, changing the atmosphere of the very ground we walk upon, and every relationship we encounter. We are no longer waiting for the world to come to us, we are taking the Presence of God, into our homes, our community, where we work and every place we go. When God finally has a people He can fully dwell in, that river becomes an irresistible force.
There is a natural attraction to the Life of God, to His love, and nothing can remain indifferent to the current of His glory!
A great teacher Confucius, spoke a truth that resonates with this movement, it says “The virtue of the leader is like the wind, and the virtue of the people is like the grass; when the wind blows, the grass must bend.”
When the Ekklesia moves as ONE with the Spirit, the very culture of the earth begins to lean toward the nature of God. For He is love and His love changes everything!
“In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.” (Isaiah 2:2)
The knowledge of God is no longer a hidden secret! It is breaking forth as a river flowing through our very streets, and the nations are gathering to its banks!
The Lord Himself is lifting the cloaks of heaviness!
This is indeed a year of Jubilee! Believe, and it will be credited to you.
What has felt like sorrow and fatigue is NOW being exchanged for for new inspiration and joy in the Lord.
He is clothing His people with glad strength and fresh courage.
What has been a long season of a testing is now becoming bearing the fruit in living testimony. What felt like a season of delay, is now revealing its intended purpose. What nearly crushed you, is now igniting the perpetual fire, that will advance you into His permanent presence!
True advancement is found at His feet. That is how we move forward, by bowing lower. By positioning ourselves in the strength of the Anav (עָנָו), the meek, and lowly of heart.
It is the meek, the fragments who remain, who will inherit the Earth. But the inheritance is not for our own keeping. God transformed us, so that He may be made known to others. His beautiful handiwork on display for all of creation to see, will come from the inside out.
We are purposed for the opening of the gates, for the River of Life to flood the streets, so that the King of Glory may enter! It is only as we yield, that His Presence can break through with an irresistible force. Then the tidal wave of glory, the fruit of wisdom and understanding can shower down on the earth and reclaim every heart and every inch of the ground!
The veil is gone. The silence is over. Every shadow is being swallowed by the dawning of the Face of God! For the King of Kings has come to dwell in His garden once again!
This is the Sound of the New Day! The overwhelming, all-consuming reality of His Spirit, moving through the land, which is in the hearts and minds of His people, and fruiting out by the way they love one another! Amen.
Let it be done in us, and though us, on earth, as it is in Heaven!
God dwells with us! Immanuel.
