THE CHURCH HAS LEFT THE BUILDING

 

Marcella Ward   March 18, 2026

“As members of the Kingdom of God, we each have an important role. This kingdom is not just for us to observe; it’s for us to engage with actively. We are called to be stewards of God’s love, ambassadors of grace, and messengers of hope. When we understand our roles, we embrace the privileges and responsibilities that come with being part of this divine community. By living out our calling, we can effectively demonstrate the values of the Kingdom in our everyday interactions.”  (30 Powerful Bible Verses About The Kingdom Of God Full Commentary  Pastor David Updated on: August 20, 2025)

Matthew 6:10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. NIV

2 Corinthians 5:20    We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. NIV

Matthew 5:14 You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. NIV

1 Peter 2:9   But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. NIV

 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” –Matthew 28:19-20-NIV

“In 1975 Loren Cunningham (founder of YWAM) and Bill Bright (founder of Campus Crusade) developed together a God-given, world-changing strategy about how to put this bible verse into practice. They concluded that in order to truly transform any nation with the gospel of Jesus, we must reach out to seven different spheres of society:” (The 7 Mountains of Influence by Dorina Betz)

1.      Religion

2.      Family

3.      Education

4.      Government

5.      Media

6.      Arts/Entertainment

7.      Business

As long as Christians stay within the four walls of their churches, the world is not threatened.  Jesus didn’t stay within the walls of the Temple.  He went out to reach the people and teach them about the Kingdom of God which He said is within us.  How can a world know about God unless we go out and preach it in whatever venue or capacity we can. 

We are the light of the world and Jesus said in Matthew 5:14-16 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. ¹⁵ Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. ¹⁶ In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”  NIV

There are many in the Church who are waking up as we see across the country in our streets with massive revivals taking place; in the colleges, where there are many revivals taking place; in school board meetings; in social media; in courageous conservative reporters; in movements such as Flashpoint, Turning Point and so on.

 It appears that many believers are waking up to the fact that the 7 Mountains of Influence have been hijacked by the world and the devil.  Are we supposed to just sit back and let evil have its way or should we practice what we preach?

Jesus practiced what He preached.  He went about preaching about the Kingdom of God.  We are supposed to pick up the mantle and follow the great commission by infiltrating and taking over the culture and the mountains of influence.

                                                     THE SHAKING HAS BEGUN

 A GREAT UNMASKING HAS BEGUN    Date Word Received: September 1, 2023   Julie Green  Watch video - published September 12, 2023

 “My children, awake. Awake. Awake. Things are starting to shake. Awake, awake. Things are starting to shake, shake, shake, shake. The shaking is a good thing for you. It's shaking those shackles off, the chains off, the oppression off, the fear off, the frustration off, the sickness off, and the poverty off. It's shaking it off of you. The shaking is good for those who are awake. 

But for those who are asleep, the shaking will be judgment. The shaking will bring much darkness. The shaking will bring much confusion and chaos. 

That is why I told you, My children, I need you to be awake. Stay alert. Be awake and pray. Pray, pray, pray. Say, say, say My Words. Say My Words. A great darkness is about to happen, a darkness that some don't see. 

But My light will shine through thee. Shine your light bright. Let My Glory fill you up. You are to be My light. You are to be a great light in great darkness. Many will turn. Many will turn. Many will turn. They will turn, and they will look to you. So be My hands. Be My feet. Be the mouthpieces I need you to be to bring more people into My Kingdom. Stand your ground. Stand your ground. It is time to stand. It is time to win, saith the Lord.” (www.jgminternational.org )

YOU ARE LIGHTS

“I AM the Father of LIGHTS; Jesus is the LIGHT of the world; and Holy Spirit is the LIGHT of truth. Because you have SURRENDERED your life to our LOVE and the Blood of My Son, you have become ONE with us and you are now LIGHTS IN THE WORLD. You are called to SHINE INTO THE DARKNESS and to LIGHT THE PATH for the lost to find their way HOME to My HEART. The CLOSER you draw near to Us, the BRIGHTER YOU WILL SHINE, and you will have more impact on the world around you. The LIGHT you SHINE is TRUTH, LOVE, and PEACE. Don’t HIDE THIS LIGHT because it is INCREDIBLY POWERFUL and FREEING to everyone’s lives that you touch. Wherever you go, remember that YOU ARE LIGHTS AND SHINE FOR ME.”

Diana Larkin

                              YOU CAN’T KEEP GOD ON A SHELF

 

 

Marcella Ward

 

How many of us remember the “elf on a shelf”?  He was supposed to be watching, in this case, the children to see if they were naughty or nice.  Do you think that the elf stayed there very long before someone either stole, trashed, or covered it up so that the “all seeing elf” could not see what they were doing?

I think that it is the same with God.  Do we put Him on a shelf?  Is He only there when we want to use Him to answer our prayers?  Do we compartmentalize God to the extent that we rush to go to Chruch, put our “time” in and then almost run over somebody to get out of the church parking lot?  Actually I know someone who actually got a ticket in a church parking lot for driving too fast!!

Do we forget about God the minute that we leave the church parking lot?  Are we thinking about the game we are going to watch that day and keep looking at our watch?  

Putting God on the shelf, in my opinion, means that He is really not a part of our lives. We put Him “on the shelf” after church services, after other services.  We put Him on the shelf when we go about our activities during the day when we do what we want to do not really focusing on God’s will. 

It is so easy because of our human nature to not include God.  The truth of the matter is that God is always with us even when we turn away from Him by our own actions or our sins.  He is always reaching out to us.  He desires to have a personal relationship with us.

The following is called “A Letter from a Friend”:

I just had to write to tell you how much I love you and care for you.  Yesterday I saw you walking and laughing with your friends; I hoped that soon you’d want Me to walk along with you, too.  So, I painted you a sunset to close your day and whispered a cool breeze to refresh you.  I waited---you never called---I just kept on loving you.

As I watched you fall asleep last night, I wanted so much to touch you.  I spilled moonlight onto your face---trickling down your cheeks as so many tears have.  You didn’t even think of Me.  I wanted so much to comfort you.

The next day I exploded a brilliant sunrise into glorious morning for you.  But you woke up late and rushed off---you didn’t even notice.  My sky became cloudy and My tears were the rain.

I love you, oh, if you’d listen.  I really love you.  I try to say it in the quiet of the green meadows and in the blue sky. The wind whispers My love throughout the treetops and spills it into the vibrant colors of all the flowers.  I shout it to you in the thunder of the great waterfalls and compose love songs for birds to sing for you.  I warm you with the clothing of My sunshine and perfume the air with natures' sweet scent.  My love for you is deeper than any ocean and greater than any need in your heart.  If you’d only realize how I care.

My Father sends His love.  I want you to meet Him---He cares, too.  Fathers are just that way.  So, please, call on Me soon.  No matter how long it takes, I’ll wait---because I love you.

Your Friend,

JESUS

Brother Lawrence, who was a 17^th century lay brother who lived in France during the Thirty Years War in which he had fought.  The following are a series of quotes from Brother Lawrence:

The time of business does not differ with me from the time of prayer; and in the noise and clatter of my kitchen, while several persons are at the same time calling for different things, I possess God in as great tranquility as if I were on my knees. 

He does not ask much of us, merely a thought of Him from time to time, a little act of adoration, sometimes to ask for His grace, sometimes to offer Him your sufferings, at other times to thank Him for the graces, past and present, He has bestowed on you, in the midst of your troubles to take solace in Him as often as you can. Lift up your heart to Him during your meals and in company; the least little remembrance will always be the most pleasing to Him. One need not cry out very loudly; He is nearer to us than we think.

There's no greater lifestyle and no greater happiness than that of having a continual conversation with God.

It is possible for us to live in the very sense of the Lord's presence under even the most difficult circumstances. If you and I are going to enjoy the peace of paradise during this life we must become accustomed to a familiar, humble, and very affectionate conversation with the Lord Jesus.

The world appears very little to a soul that contemplates the greatness of God.

Loving God and loving one's neighbor are really the same thing.

Brother Lawrence

Don’t keep God on the shelf.  Carry Him wherever you are, whatever you are doing and He will fill you with His presence as Brother Lawrence invited Him to every area of his life.  Doing so, you will find true peace because it is His peace that He offers us each day.

 

                            TRUSTING GOD IN THE MIDST OF THE STORM

• God is worthy of your trust.
• You can not be lost to Him.
• Even in the storm, you are held in the palm of His hand.
• He saw this storm before it ever reached you, and has already worked out the provision you’ll need to get you through.
• He will see you through.
• You are His child, and nothing can snatch you from His hands.
• God is worthy of your trust. 
• “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you.” Isaiah 43:2 NLT
• “Commit your way to the Lord. Trust in Him, and He will act.” Psalm 37:5 ESV
• “I will not cause pain without allowing something new to be born, says the Lord.” Isaiah 66:9 NCV
• “He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings, you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.” Psalm 91:4 NIV
• “My soul finds rest in God alone, my salvation comes from Him, He alone is my rock and my salvation.” Psalm 62:1-2

 “One day a small gap appeared in the cocoon, through which the butterfly had to appear. A boy, who accidentally passed by, stopped and watched how the butterfly was trying to get out of the cocoon. It took a lot of time, the butterfly was trying very hard, and the gap was as little as before. It seemed that the power would leave the butterfly soon.

The boy decided to help the butterfly. He took a penknife and cut the cocoon. The butterfly  immediately got out, but its body was weak and feeble, and the wings were barely moving.

The boy continued to watch the butterfly, thinking that now its wings would spread and it would fly. However, that did not happen.  The rest of its life the butterfly had to drag its weak body and wings that weren’t spread. It was unable to fly because the boy did not realize that an effort to enter through the narrow gap of the cocoon was necessary for the butterfly, so that the life-giving fluid would move from the body to the butterfly’s wings and that the butterfly could fly. Life forced the butterfly to leave its shell hardly so that it would become stronger and would be able to grow and develop.

If we were allowed to live without meeting difficulties, we would not be viable. Life gives us challenges to make us stronger.”  (2 Powerful Short Stories On Overcoming Adversities  #5MinMotivation Posted January 3, 2020 Elita Torres)

Daniel 3:16-18 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand.  But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.” NIV

Daniel 3:24-25 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego trusted God in the fire.   Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers, “Weren’t there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?” They replied, “Certainly, Your Majesty.”  He said, “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.” NIV

There are those who say that the fourth man in the fire was the pre-incarnate Son of God---Jesus Christ.  Yes Jesus is always with us in the fire and in the storms of life.  He will never, never leave us or forsake us as long as we call on Him and trust Him.

Mark 4:39-40 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.  He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” NIV

Jesus is the quiet in our storms.  We need to have faith that He will still the storm but just like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, He will also be with us in the fire and even though we may not always be delivered from the fire, He will help us get through the fire or the storm.

OCTOBER FULL CIRCLE    October 1, 2025   Diana Larkin

“This month you will see so many PROPHECIES and PROMISES come into FULFILLMENT. OCTOBER WILL BE A FULL CIRCLE MONTH WHERE YOU SEE HOPES, DREAMS, AND DECLARATIONS COME INTO THEIR MOMENT OF FULFILLMENT. Here comes the HARVEST of your FAITH in Me, and you will REAP in ABUNDANCE the SEEDS of FAITH and PROMISE that you planted—some from many years ago. Seeds you thought were DEAD or DORMANT will SUDDENLY show signs of LIFE, and you will know that it is My BREATH that has caused LIFE to spring forth where DELAY and DENIAL seemed to rule. FULL CIRCLE means you have received a SUPERNATURAL INTERVENTION of My POWER, My LOVE, and My LIFE. These FULL CIRCLES will come into personal, intimate areas of your life and into who rules the nations. It will be a SWEEPING MOVE of the WINDS OF CHANGE Host sent to SHIFT the atmosphere from DARK TO LIGHT and to blow in My FULL CIRCLE promises fulfilled.”

PSALM 126:5 (TPT) “Those who sow their tears as seeds will reap a harvest with joyful shouts of glee.”  (Diana Larkin   A Watchman’s Journal  www.dianalarking.blogspot.com )

 

YOUR ENEMIES ARE NOT DONE TRYING TO KILL THE SOUL OF THIS NATION

Date Word Received: September 20, 2025 (First Prophecy)    Julie Green

Watch video - published September 24, 2025

My children, the world needs My remnant to arise, My remnant to take their place of authority, My remnant to take back what belongs to the church. This Earth does not belong to the globalists. Neither the United States, the Nation of Israel, nor any of the nations around the world belong to the establishment. 

Do you see how evil has gained its foothold? It was because My Church stopped standing. My Church stopped fighting back. My Church grew silent because they believed their pastors, family members, and politicians (when they said) to stay out of politics. The separation of church and state was for your protection from politicians controlling what happens in your congregations, so they could not control what was being said or done behind the pulpit. 

My children, if you look in My Word, I had My prophets next to kings and leaders of nations for freedom and justice. But your enemies deceived most churches, controlled what was said, and deceived the masses, while the enemies got a foothold and controlled your nations with evil and brought in darkness and a great bondage upon this Earth. 

My children, if the church is not involved in politics, then I am not there. If I am not there, your adversary is. I am saying these things again because My Church needs to get into this war and fight like never before.   (www.jgminternational.org )
