Provision in the Wilderness

This small article is an excerpt from the author's book Heaven's Underground Blueprint which is available here - http://www.christisall.org/hub-book

One of the reasons the body of Christ is still wandering in the desert is that we have settled for the best the desert has to offer. Instead we should believe for God’s absolute fullness in the earth and align ourselves in obedience no matter what the cost.

With no disrespect intended at all, I must make a statement concerning all the fine men and women of God who have ministered in His power throughout church history thus far as well as the great moves of His Spirit. These, for the most part, have been a great blessing to both God and man. However, they are prophetically typified by the provisional miracles in the Sinai desert. So in God’s economy they are merely, PROVISION IN THE WILDERNESS – not the Promised Land, and therefore not the fullness of Christ.

Forerunners of the New Order

"These were the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he was banished from the presence of Saul … warriors who helped him in battle."
1 Chronicles 12:1

Before every historic visitation of the Spirit God has sent forerunners.

John the Baptist set the pattern. As a voice crying in the wilderness he prepared the way for the ministry
of Christ.

Likewise, John Wycliffe, the ‘morningstar of the Reformation’, blazed the trail for Martin Luther. Frank
Bartleman, as a prophetic intercessor, for William Seymour and the Azuza Street outpouring. The Latter
Rain and Healing Revivals of the late 1940’s prepared the way for the Charismatic Renewal of the 1960’s
and 70’s.

After Supper He Took the Cup

If you can stand it, I would like to ask you all one more time to look at the Lord's Supper through the lens of the New Testament and see if you would not agree with me that this may be one of the biggest blind spots for the church around the world in the last 2000 years!

It's a supper, stupid!

First and foremost, if you look at all the texts that describe what we now practice and call "The Lord's Supper", you will notice that it was in the context of Jesus and His disciples sharing the Passover meal together.

Mtt. 26:26  And while they  were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples.
