Prophetic Insights – #1/18
An important message of the New Covenant prophet is that we are living in the times of restoration of all things that was spoken by the His holy prophets since the world began (See Acts 3:19-21). The prophetic theme of our time is based on restoration, revelation of our new nature, growing and purifying the Church (Jew and Gentile), living in the Spirit, and being “as He is so are we in this world” (see 1 John 4:17). In all this the New Covenant prophet releases the Father’s vision of the Church, and restores holiness, purpose, and strategy for the advancement of the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in Heaven. The emphasis of New Covenant prophecy is the Kingdom of God—Jesus is the King dwelling in us, bringing completeness in Him in the fullness of the Godhead bodily (See Colossians 2:9-10).
Here is the Lord’s intent for His Church:
“…that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the width and length and depth and height – to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God” (Ephesians 3 16-19).
We clearly see here the intention of God for His Son’s body to take back the Creation that He sovereignly spoke into being for the love and purpose of His pleasure.
