The Strategy Ordained by the Lord

for Christian Congregations?

from the book YHWH Is Calling

With the raising of His signal banner and the sounding of His trumpet, our God, YHWH, is calling all Christian congregations around the world in this new era to return to their original apostolic roots and renew their covenant with Him. A new era has begun, in which He will show mercy and re-betroth the ancient northern people of Israel, as it is written to happen through the descendants of ancient Ephraim before the Lord’s return.

Congregations do not need to be merged. Congregations do not need to be dissolved, nor do new ones need to be established. Instead, each existing Christian congregation must decide for itself whether it will turn its gaze to the banner, listen to the sound of the trumpet, and respond to the Lord’s call.

That is precisely why the Lord has already done what He has done. This time, He did not prepare a single reformer to create new church doctrines or denominations. Instead, through His Spirit, God has awakened believers in different congregations around the world to an understanding of the same matters in which His will has been deviated from over the centuries. Once again, it is a matter that the Lord foretold in His Word would happen:

“‘Return, O backsliding children,’

says the Lord; for I am married to you.

I will take you, one from a city

and two from a family,

and I will bring you to Zion.

And I will give you shepherds

according to My heart,

who will feed you with

knowledge and understanding.”

Jeremiah 3:14-15 (NKJV)

The greatest obstacle to aligning the congregations with the Lord’s will is likely the same one that many of the priests, rabbis, and Pharisees of Judah stumbled over. Is God more important than status, pleasing people, political and other relationships, the humility required to admit that the teaching has strayed from the Truth over time, a human-made bureaucratic process that hinders change, or some other barrier? Is anything more important than Jesus' command to love the Lord your God with all your heart?

I know that many Christian congregations are once again working on strategies for the coming years. Based on numerous confirmations from the Lord, I can assure you that only one strategy has been confirmed to guarantee success for any Christian congregation in the coming years. The Lord is the head of all Christian congregations, and He has already prepared the effective strategy. Wherever His call is answered, they will soon enjoy the promise given to the faithful in the book of Malachi:

“‘Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me!

But you say,’In what way have we robbed You’

In tithes and offerings. You are cursed with a curse,

For you have robbed Me, Even this whole nation.

Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,

That there may be food in My house,

And try Me now in this,’ Says the Lord of hosts,

‘If I will not open for you the windows of heaven

And pour out for you such blessing

That there will not be room enough to receive it.

And I will rebuke the devourer

for your sakes, So that he will not destroy

the fruit of your ground,

Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit

for you in the field,’ Says the Lord of hosts;

‘And all nations will call you blessed,

For you will be a delightful land,’

Says the Lord of hosts.”

Malachi 3:8-12 (NKJV)

Do you see the connection between the previous verse from Malachi and the earlier verse from Isaiah concerning the vineyards?

Next, I will write about the concrete first steps that the Lord has specifically confirmed for me to outline at this time in response to His call.

“ Give ear, O my people, to my law; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old,

Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us.

We will not hide them from their children,

Telling to the generation to come the praises of the Lord,

And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.

For He established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel,

Which He commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children;

That the generation to come might know them, The children who would be born,

That they may arise and declare them to their children,

That they may set their hope in God,

And not forget the works of God,

But keep His commandments”

(NKJV PS78:1-7)
