IMAGINE A CHURCH

Can you imagine a Church who has 700 people who refuse to release 15 -20 people to launch a disciples making disciples move of God? Imagine a church that is more concerned about controlling the people than releasing them.

Imagine a district that refuses to release 15 -20 people and refuses to bless the leader of this group to go lead the group to make disciples who make disciples.

This cannot be a move of God the Pastor and Superintendent say. These people are rebellious and out of line. They are hurting our ministry. But remember, the group only wanted to be released to go and do what God was telling them to do.

Imagine, the group has moved on without the blessing of the church leadership and without the blessing and support of the district and general church.

But what they do have is freedom. They do have the full anointing of the Holy Spirit. They do have the power of God leading them through the Holy Spirit. They are laying a foundation that will make disciples exponentially. The glory of God is being made known to those around them.

Is this a real church scenario. Can it be real? Am I making it up? You tell me. Is this above scenario or story really possible in America? Did this happen? Is this really how the church acts?

IT'S REAL! "God I repent for my brothers and sisters of control even controlling at the expense of the work of the Holy Spirit. Please forgive."

This real life story made me sick when I heard it. I'm still sick about it. May God help us.

This is a real church, a real story, and a disgrace to Christ Himself.
