Haggai challenges us in Hag 1:4 with this question "is it time for you
to live in your lovely houses while my temple/home lies in ruins" and we
must respond by rebuilding his temple in the following nine worlds
Go verses come
remember that the great commission is a calling to go into all the
world and preach the gospel to every creature and the whole world
can't be filled into a church building neither can every creature be
squeezed into our wrongly called church buildings modeled after the
roman pagan temples of raised platforms and pulpits and pews unlike
the relationship style gatherings in homes of the early church.
Isaiah 6:8 is the challenge to all true Christians "whom shall I send?
And who shall go for us? And I said here am I Lord SEND ME... We must
therefore respond to the call to go and rebuild the temple destroyed
by Constantine and his gang.
The Constantine curse
we learn from church history that Constantine wedded the roman pagan
customs with the catholic or the universal church...
He created the clergy laity divide that is not found in scripture...
We are all kings and priests
He created the secular and sacred divide that is nowhere found in
scripture...
We are either a missionary or a mission field
He created the order of our church services modeled after paganism that are against the new testament model found in 1corin 14: 26
He created the church architecture that forces us to see the backs of
peoples heads with no sharing of our lives but passive churchianity.
He created the raised platforms that forces us into becoming
spectators and destroys body ministry that the bible tells us to
participate in.
He created the superstar model of preaching from a pulpit that the
Caesar's modeled.
SACRED calling verses SECULAR work: But Full time ministry is for all Christians and not just for a few elite pietists.
Let us take the church back into these nine worlds where it belongs
and not the ivory tower buildings modeled after the closed door
monasteries that prevents us from being salt and light and yeast where
the people are.
This is a call to market place Christianity
This is a call to rebuild his temple in all of society
This is a call to people who will cry out
"HERE AM I LORD...
SEND ME...
I WILL REBUILD YOUR TEMPLE IN THE NINE WORLDS…
