THE EMERGING CHURCH

THE EMERGING CHURCH

                            Teaching By Dr Joel Dabbas 

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic the world was thrown into total confusion. The impact of the pandemic on the world is enormous and the world will grapple with this for a very long time. But in the face of all of these there is an EMERGING CHURCH, a rise of a breed that even the devil has never anticipated before, they will be ferocious and bruise the head of the devil by the power of God.

Here are SEVEN things you need to know about the EMERGING CHURCH:

It is a FEARLESS Church

As A. W. Tozer put it this way, “A frightened world needs a fearless church.”  The EMERGING Church is going to be the FEARLESS one. Many ministries have not been able to break into territories that the Lord have given unto them because of fear. A fearful Church inhibits and limits the momentum of supernatural flow. 

Acts 21:11-14 says "And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem. Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done."

God's business can be delayed and hindered by the fearful and that is why God does no business with the fearful. The Emerging Church are a bunch of FEARLESS people who are as bold as a lion doing the will of the Lord without looking back.

It is a FORWARD Church

Acts 1:8 says that "...and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." This is a movement that is coming with uncommon grace been manifested.

It is an ALIGNED Church 

In the past the Church missed the rhythm of divine parade. She marched on the strength of human knowledge and powered by godless principles. A Church full of religion and not of God. Ministers and people of God who have shifted out of alignment. The EMERGING Church is coming to rebuild according to pattern. Exodus 25:40 says "And see thou and do them by their pattern which thou art shewn in the mount." (Young's Literal Translation).

The EMERGING Church is one of The SPIRIT

Joel 2:28-29 says that "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit."

There is an unprecedented and spontaneous Spirit breakout that will flood the earth again. The uniqueness of this is that everyone will be full of the Holy Spirit. It won't be only the five fold ministry that will be filled with God in unusual level. The cooperate Church and the Pastors will just oversee this.

It is a Church of FIRE AND ON FIRE 

Matthew 3:11-12 says that "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."

Fire is one of the products of heaven that comes on a hungry, thirsty and waiting generation. Fire always erupts and flows down from the throne of YAWEH upon men when a genuine God-man connection is established (Acts 2:1-4). The EMERGING Church is one that is full of the fire of God. 

It is an APOSTOLIC Church 

A Church without walls is breaking out. A Church that will flow and not be stalled. The dam in the spirit is full and the dike is breaking because of the flood that is coming; the river banks will be over flooded it will break into homes, streets, systems and conver people with the fire of God.

Acts 8:1 "And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles."

Acts 11:19 "Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only."

The Apostolic Church is a sending Church and not a keeping or holding Church. It is a spreading Church. Territories and continents needs to be preached to, the return of our Lord and King is here.

It is a Church of much MULTITUDES

Isaiah 2:2 tells us that "In the last days, the mountain of the Lord‘s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it."

Nations, multitudes will gather and flow into this EMERGING Church. There is a compelling anointing that will literally drag NATIONS and MULTITUDES to God. The barrier is breaking. Godless Nations will arise who would want to stop this move but the fire underneath can not be stopped nor quenched. Many will be put into cell's and prisons because of this but it will only trigger more and more of the flood of the Spirit.

Churches, commisions and ministries that have been faithful with God and with the mini crowds are about to burst into tens of thousands. It is the Great Awakening: A fierce revival is come.
