For many years, ministry often centered around a few strong leaders. One person spoke, carried the vision, and commanded attention while others listened and followed.
But God is bringing forth something different.
He is raising an anointed family—a many-membered Body in which every believer has a place, a function, and a living relationship with Christ as the Head.
This is not a new ministry strategy created by human effort. God Himself is forming this Body. He is the Potter, and we are the clay.
God’s purpose is not to have a few anointed leaders surrounded by passive followers. He is bringing forth a people who are all led and anointed by the Holy Spirit.
Each person carries a different expression of Christ. One may speak, another pray, another encourage, and another strengthen someone who is weary. Every part is important because no single person carries the whole revelation.
As believers grow in their connection with Christ and with one another, the oneness, revelation, and anointing also grow.
The anointing increases as the oneness increases.
Entering this new day requires us to release old ways of thinking and functioning.
When familiar structures begin to crumble, our natural response is often to repair them. But God may not be trying to fix what is broken. He may be creating something entirely new.
Jesus calls us to lay down the old life so that His nature can be formed within us. This takes humility, faith, and a willingness to hear what the Lord is speaking through other members of His Body.
The life God is creating within His people is not meant to be lived independently.
The Body of Christ functions through relationship. When one member is weak, another can impart strength and encouragement. At another time, the one who received life may become the person who gives it.
No one is strong all the time, and no one has the complete revelation. God uses the Body to uphold, strengthen, and minister to every member.
There are no insignificant members in the Body of Christ.
A hand and a kidney have different functions, but both are necessary. In the same way, believers may have different backgrounds, personalities, and gifts, yet each carries something valuable from Christ.
Their unity does not come from being alike. Their connection is found in the Lord.
Every member is called to know Christ as the Head and function faithfully in the place God has given them.
How do we enter into this reality?
It begins with hunger, faith, and a heart that is open to the Holy Spirit.
We seek the Lord Himself. We ask for eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart that responds to His leading.
God is raising groups of believers who are hungry for His presence, committed to one another, and willing to move together under the direction of the Holy Spirit.
The day of one voice carrying everything is ending.
God is bringing forth many voices, joined by one Spirit, under one Head, revealing one Christ.
