Introduction – Why This Message Matters

Speaker 3

In this episode, you'll get a sneak peek into every chapter of our new book, Rise of the Glorious Church. And we believe you'll see why it's not just another book, it's a prophetic roadmap. And you'll also see why it's time to get ready because everything's about to change. Welcome back, everybody, to the Shekinah Today podcast. We're your hosts, Darrel and Cindy deVille.

Speaker 1

Well, hello, everyone. This is Cindy, and we are so excited about walking through this journey with you as we go chapter by chapter through Rise of the Glorious Church.

Speaker 3

Yes, amen. Before we give you a sneak peek of every chapter of the book, we wanted to first introduce the why behind the book. Now, God is saying it's time to get ready, and a short story that illustrates that really well. The person considered the greatest hockey player ever was Wayne Gretzky. And he was asked one time, What's one of the keys to your greatness? What makes you so great or what you do? And his response was this I skate to where the puck will be, not where it's been. Let's say that again. Let that sink in. I skate to where the puck will be, not where it's been.

Speaker 1

That's so good. And it makes me think of the scripture, you know, without a vision, my people perish. And what we're doing with this book is we take you through this journey. We are casting vision, God's vision, God's plan for his church to rise up glorious.

Speaker 3

Of where he wants the church to be.

Speaker 1

That's right.

Speaker 3

Where we're to be, what's coming and where we're to be. Two quick biblical examples of that is Noah and Joseph. They were shown what's coming and what to do to prepare. So then when it came, they were positioned and in place and were ready for what was coming.

Speaker 1

That's right. That's a Moses is another amazing example. God showed him what he was calling him to do, and it was big. It was really big. And God also showed him the challenges he would face and even how Pharaoh would come against him. So if we stay close to the Lord and we are listening and praying, he will show us how to navigate these days.

Speaker 3

That's right. See, God always reveals what to do right before major shifts occur.

Speaker 1

That's right. And you know, just like scripture says, God does nothing unless he reveals it first to his prophets. And that's why in the days we live, the prophetic voice, the true prophetic voice, is going to be critical.

Speaker 3

That's right. And see, that's exactly what God is wanting to do. He wants to prepare and position his people for an end time shift we are entering right now. It's going to be a whole new end time stage that's unfolding before us. Amen. That he wants his church positioned and empowered to rise and shine in for his kingdom and for his glory.

Speaker 1

Amen. Amen.

Speaker 3

Now, a question Have you seen our book trailer? If you've seen our book trailer, you see that we show the contrast of what's going on in the kingdom of darkness, how it's building, and what we believe God's about to do. And what we say in there is that God's about to reintroduce himself to the church and the world on a whole new level.

Speaker 1

Amen.

Speaker 3

And it's time to get ready because of what he's going to be doing and what's coming.

Speaker 1

You know, and what we're seeing right now, it's the clash of two kingdoms, kingdom of darkness versus the kingdom of light. And we show that clearly in that video, which is very powerful, very dramatic.

Why the Church Must Think Differently

Speaker 3

Yes, it is. It's Isaiah 60, a visual representation of that. So don't miss that. Go see that as soon as you can. You're going to see it if you go to our website at shekinaToday.org. And we've been saying this for a while. Church as usual is coming to an end.

Speaker

That's right.

Speaker 3

God wants his church ready for what's coming. He wants you prepared, positioned, and ready to rise up glorious.

Speaker

That's right.

Speaker 3

For the end times. And really, great change typically requires thinking differently. So the church really needs new paradigms for the changes that are coming. New paradigms also bring new structures. And God has been speaking to us about his structure. And he's saying this break the mold, let my plans unfold. He desires his church to think differently, to break the mold. He wants to breathe new life into the church. And this is why the rise of the glorious church was written. It reveals next level paradigms and heavenly plans so the church can be empowered to operate in a higher level of kingdom unity, power, and glory.

Speaker 1

Amen.

Speaker 3

And why he wants to do that, the bigger picture of that is God is setting up a great net for a great end time harvest to draw multitudes of souls to him. It will be the greatest rescue mission ever seen.

Speaker 1

Amen.

Speaker 3

And we hope you will see this is not just another book, it's a prophetic roadmap to preparation and preparing us to rise up glorious.

Speaker

Yes.

Speaker 3

All right, so that's the why behind the book. Now let's begin to take the journey through the book itself. And you'll see, I believe, that each chapter is like a puzzle piece being assembled, and it starts forming a grand picture of what the end time glorious church will look like. First, it'll show on a personal level what God wants to do in you, his people, his church. And then it shows on a corporate level what the next level local church glorious church will look like for the times ahead.

Speaker 1

Amen. So let's start by looking at the four main parts of the book, which Darrel will lay out here.

Speaker 3

That's right. The book is divided into four key parts. Part one is the end time shift has begun. Part two is the living glorious church. This is the personal level focus. Then part three is the local glorious church, the corporate level, what God wants to do corporately. And then part four is an end-time glimpse of what the end-time church will look like. It's a powerful glimpse. It's kind of the crescendo of the whole book. And it's powerful. Yes. Don't want to miss that. We're excited to share that as well.

Speaker 1

Absolutely.

Speaker 3

Okay, it's time to walk through this journey and actually see what the book looks like.

Note To Listeners: Don’t Miss the Podcast Video!

Speaker 1

So before we go through this, I just want to share a note. If you're listening to this podcast on audio only, we want to encourage you, if you get a chance, to also check out the video version on Shekinah Today TV, our YouTube channel.

Speaker 3

The video version shows engaging images and videos to help communicate visually what some of these chapters are about. Yes. What they repetit the representative of what God wants to do. Yes. And it's powerful.

Speaker 1

And we encourage you to share this everywhere and share it with your family and friends and encourage them to join us in this journey as we walk through the chapters of the book.

An End-Time Shift Has Begun…

Speaker 3

That's right. So without further ado, let's start the journey going through the book, an overview of each chapter, and then future episodes, we'll dive in deep to every chapter. Okay, let's go ahead and start the journey. Part one an end-time shift has begun. Part one casts a big picture view of the new era we've entered into and also reveals the process God has taken his church through to become and rise up glorious.

Speaker 1

Amen. That is going to help bring great clarity and hope to God's people.

Speaker 3

That's right.

Speaker 1

Because if you look at everything as it is right now, a lot of people are feeling.

Speaker 3

You're thinking, Jesus, come back now, please. Exactly.

Speaker 1

It's like, please rescue me, get me out of here.

Speaker 3

But we believe the Lord has so much more to do before he returns. There's some powerful things he wants to do, and we'll be talking about that in our chapters in future episodes. So chapter one is called The Stage is Being Set. And it shows how and why this stage is being set and how God's setting things up to rise up a new kind of church, the glorious church.

Speaker 1

Yes. And she will be emerging throughout the nations of the earth as God does this work. That's right. As we align our thoughts, our words, our ways with him, and as we say, Yes, Lord, I am all in. And this is a statement I say often that if you want to win, you got to be all in. And that is what God is calling his people to.

Speaker 3

That's right.

Speaker 1

All in.

Speaker 3

So chapter one casts a vision of the stage being set. Included in that, we share two kingdom paradigm shifts that are required to help bring understanding of seeing the bigger picture of a kingdom shift, a mindset that we should have as we move forward in the days ahead. Also, chapter one includes what we call three right in time paradigms, must have perspectives for the days ahead.

Speaker 1

The end times, you know, there's so much teaching on the end times, and so many people get caught up on well, are we pre-trib or post-trib or when are we going? When are we getting out of here? And that is not what this book is focusing on. We're focusing on navigating, walking victoriously, gloriously, rising above these things and actually having maximum impact in the days we live.

Speaker 3

That's right. These three right in time paradigms will help you navigate the days ahead. So instead of living in fear, dread, uncertainty, as many are today, wonder what's going on with when's Jesus coming back, the right end-time paradigms will help you see forward in great faith, hope, peace, and also give you a grand sense of destiny.

Speaker 1

Amen. If I can add this and just say this that, you know, it's a sad state right now. When we look at the current state of the church, you see so many people living in just defeat, defeated. And uh so many medicating, so many, um, they're just trying to calm and soothe their soul. And it's because they don't have the right perspective. You have to see correctly if you're gonna walk correctly, and so this is gonna help you see correctly.

A Vision of Jesus Opening 7 End-Time Doors!

Speaker 3

Yes. So chapter one gives you the big picture view of how the stage is being set and the right mindset to have, the right paradigm to have as we move forward. It's so critical to have that. All right, so that's chapter one. Now, chapter two is about an epic vision of Jesus opening seven end-time doors that came 15 years ago. It was powerful. I'll never forget it. It was an amazing night when that came.

Speaker 1

It's amazing because there's been a few times in our in our life, in my life, where God has come and revealed himself in such a way. And often what he does, it affects my whole being. I mean, when this happened, I felt heavily sedated. You would think I was I had just been sedated. It was a very heavy weight on me, and it was so real, it's like it was actually happening in the moment. And so, and I as I spoke and shared it, Darrel wrote it down and recorded it.

Speaker 3

Every door in this prophetic vision is really significant to seeing how the church is becoming glorious. It shows the process the church is going through. Yes, and again, this vision came in 2010. Yes, door one and door two have already been opened.

Speaker

Yes, they have.

Speaker 3

Door three, we're at right now. Yes, and you'll see what we mean when we get to that, why it's open right now, and you'll see it happening before our eyes right now.

Speaker 1

You know, I want to say something about transition because a process, you see the process in this vision. And right now, the church, our nation, even the nations, are in transition. And you know, when things are in transition, it always feels a little shaky. It feels, and we know scripture tells us, and God has been saying this, that everything that can be shaken will be shaken. And that's kind of where you might even feel yourself right now. Like, uh, God, what are you doing? And but we need to trust the process, we need to be faithful, obedient, praying and engaging, and just being obedient to the Lord. We need to be at peace and just follow Him in the process.

Speaker 3

That's right. So, chapter two, the vision of seven end-time doors. And actually, at the end of that vision, the Lord spoke a prophetic word that really summarized it all up. It was very powerful. And there was something visually that happened across all seven doors. We'll wait to reveal that in that episode.

Speaker 1

I do want to say, and I'm without giving too much away, that door number six was actually the most touching door of all. It the heart of the father and Jesus, who was holding the keys when he unlocked that door. Yeah, it's basically what he came for.

Speaker 3

That's right.

Speaker 1

And not going to tell you anymore.

Speaker 3

So chapter two is the vision of seven end-time doors Jesus is unlocking. Some of the doors are already open. And uh, all right, chapter three.

The Rebirth of the Church

Speaker

Oh, this one.

Speaker 3

Yes. Chapter three, the rebirth of the church. This is about a coming sudden visitation that changes everything. It's really like an Acts two visitation, but on a much grander and greater scale. God, He always does above and beyond what He's done before.

Speaker 1

Well, I believe, you know, Acts two, I think of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. What I see this is the church going to another level. This is gonna be outpouring of the glory.

Speaker 3

Yes.

Speaker 1

It's gonna be the glory being revealed. And that's one of my favorite in our lifetime uh scriptures, Isaiah 40, verse 5. The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. That's right. That's what I believe we're gonna see. So we're going from outpouring of the Holy Spirit layered on top of that, and that's why it's gonna be so phenomenal, is it's going to be the glory of the Lord being revealed.

Speaker 3

That's right. In fact, and we share about in the book how God's glory brings two things with it.

Speaker

Yes.

Speaker 3

And you'll find out what those are in that episode. Yes. But also talks about chapter three, rebirth of the church, talks about a great visitation, talks about the breath of God coming into his church, like in Acts 2. There's a great and mighty rushing wind. It's like the breath of God that came in there. Amen. He wants to do that once again and bring life to his church on a whole new level. The glory of God's coming, and two things come with it. We also provide a glimpse of what next level services and what next level glory will look like.

Speaker 1

Amen.

Speaker 3

Chapter three also talks about a great separation and an end-time RB being formed. So that's part one. The end-time shift has begun. We talk about chapter one, the stages being set. Chapter two, the vision of seven end-time doors, and chapter three, the rebirth of the church.

Speaker

Amen.

You: The Living Glorious Church (Personal Level)

Speaker 3

Now, part two, the living glorious church. This is a focus of the glorious church being developed on a personal level.

Speaker 1

Yes, in this part of the book, this is really all about you, what God wants to do in you. And we believe every person individually will greatly benefit from the truths, regardless of the level that you're at in your walk with the Lord. And that's what I love about the book. Whether you are a new baby Christian just saved and needing to be discipled with the milk of the word, or whether you are hungry for the meat of the word and a seasoned saint, this book is it covers both of those. It's a full meal, it's the full thing.

Speaker 3

We see it like a buffet. That's right.

Speaker 1

Yes.

Speaker 3

And uh it's amazing, really is.

Speaker 1

One thing I love too, and we've always been like this is everything we lay out, whether it's visions, whether it's prophecies, the word, the word, we always align and bring the word in so you have confidence that, oh, I see this all over God's word. So we establish that foundation of the word so that when you look at the vision, you read it, or the prophetic word, you can see, oh, this does align with God's word. This is true.

Speaker 3

That's right. That's right. It's so important that God's word is always the foundation of everything we do, everything we say.

Speaker 1

Amen.

Speaker 3

And so part two, the Living Glorious Church starts with chapter four, part one. So, chapter four, part one, cast a vision of God's original plans and purposes and the why behind them.

Speaker 1

Chapter four is a great chapter that I believe you're gonna love. It's all about God's original plan. And this is so important to see God's divine destiny for you and to really look into the heart of God, who is a father who loves family.

Speaker 3

It's an eternal plan, it's a grand plan. Yes, he always has grand plans. Yes, he does, he's a grand big God.

Speaker 1

And remember, his kingdom never ends.

Speaker 3

That's right.

Speaker 1

And you know, if you're listening here, remember this as a as a Christian, as a born-again Christian who loves the Lord, you're gonna live forever. You want to know what is that gonna look like? That's right.

Speaker 3

This gives you a glimpse of that, what that can look like a little bit. Yes, and it's it's really exciting. And the and again, it shares the why behind it. And in that, I'm reminded of years ago when I was at college, Bible college, actually, and one of our professors, a history professor, what he said really resonated with me, and I'll never forgot it. I'll never forget him saying so dramatically, to really know history, you need to ask why. Why we consider why a golden question. Yes, it's why will get you to the heart of the matter, and it causes you to search matters out, which is what kings do. Yes, they do, it's what wise men do. They search matters out, they want to understand what's behind this. And as it says in Proverbs, get understanding, get wisdom. Everything costs you everything. Understand what's going on and why.

Speaker 1

Right. Why did God create you? Why did God create the earth?

Speaker 3

So in chapter four, part one, we see God's original plans and purposes and the why behind them. So important. Chapter four, part two is huge. This is where we share what we call the five glorious church fundamentals. These are must know to be able to walk in the fullness of their divine destiny. It sets a foundation for that. It goes beyond the basics of salvation, key fundamentals that every Christian should know. And not all of them are being taught like they should be.

Speaker 1

Well, unfortunately, nowadays, many people are getting a lot of their theology off the internet. And because of that, there's all kinds of gaps, and there's all kinds of things being taught that are just crazy out there, not biblical, not foundational. So we felt it critical to include this in the book, The Rise of the Glorious Church, because if the foundations of the church personally in your life and the foundations in the corporate body of Christ are not strong and solid, we're not going anywhere. It's just going to falter. And I want to share this with you. This even goes along with our nation. There's a reason why many enemies want to destroy the foundations of our nation because they know if the foundations are destroyed, the whole thing crumbles. And that's what Satan's been working at even in our church, in the body of Christ, in the churches. He wants to destroy and tear down the foundations of our faith so that the whole thing starts crumbling. And that's really what's been kind of happening. And God is coming, he wants to rebuild. And um, and so we felt this really important to include in the book.

The “High Call” to Rise Up Glorious!

Speaker 3

That's right. So the five glorious church fundamentals could also be called the five glorious church pillars. Yes. So it's really like pillars holding up the structure. It's the foundation for actually the next chapter, chapter five.

Speaker

That's right.

Speaker 3

Which is one of my favorite, because it's called the High Call to Rise Up Glorious. This is the last chapter we talk about on a personal level, how God wants you to walk in the fullness of your divine destiny. It also introduces what we call the journey of the glorious bride.

Speaker 1

Yes, this is just beautiful.

Speaker 3

This is sweet. It's a journey that will help you fulfill the fullness of your divine destiny, to walk in his divine nature, his power, his glory.

Speaker 1

Well, it's Christ when we think about the glory of God coming at a whole nother level. We need to look at scriptures. It is Christ in us the hope of glory.

Speaker 3

Right. It's I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. That is huge and a core part of the scripture. It's an amazing journey, and really it's a glorious life transformation process. Yes. And we lay out this journey, it's built upon an ancient blueprint shown in the Bible, and we actually show a diagram of what that journey looks like.

Speaker

Yes.

Speaker 3

So you don't want to miss chapter five.

Speaker 1

Yes.

Speaker 3

The high call to rise up glorious.

Speaker 1

Amen.

Part 2 Review + Break: An Invitation

Speaker 3

So part two, we had a sneak peek that we're going to be talking about God's original plans and purposes and the why behind them. Then we'll also be talking about the five glorious church fundamentals, the pillars that help set up walking your divine destiny. Then, chapter five, the high call to rise up glorious, that introduces the journey of the glorious bride. So you go walk in the fullness of all God's created you for.

Speaker 1

Yes. So rich. There's so much. And now we get to move on to the next part.

Speaker 3

That's right. And before we do, we're going to take a short break. So when we come back, we'll start on part three. Next, we'll be covering chapter six, the heavenly glorious church model, which we actually talked a little bit about in episode one. You don't want to miss it. We'll be right back.

Speaker 2

Decades ago, God began shaping within Darrel and Cindy a grand vision, revealing his end time plans and blueprints for what he's about to do in his church and in the nations. And now the time has come to share these from their new book, Rise of the Glorious Church. To learn more about all this, we invite you to watch our engaging and prophetic trailers and inspiring shorts on our new Shekinah Today YouTube channel. Then subscribe, share, and see more details on our website at shekinatoday.org.

The Glorious Church/Ekklesia (Corporate Level)

Speaker 3

All right, welcome back. Now let's get into part three, The Glorious Church, what God wants to do on a corporate level, which of course includes the local church itself.

Speaker

Yes.

Speaker 3

And before we get into chapter six, we have a couple prefaces. One preface is that while the church is not really a building, it's a people, we do believe it's not just a people, it's a place. We believe God wants to set up what we call heavenly hubs, and what that looks like is a whole nother level. We'll be going through in our episodes. Amen. And in preface two, we talk about how critical it is that first, before we can rise up and be glorious, we need to first restore divine order and understand what our number one ministry and our number one function is that is really, really important.

Speaker 1

That's right. Amen.

The Heavenly Glorious Church Model Blueprint

Speaker 3

Now on to chapter six, the heavenly glorious church model. If you remember in episode one, we talked about the vision that came in 2012 about a storm cellar with scrolls inside and how the glorious church was the blueprint God told us to select and open up and start running with that. And this chapter is an extension of that. This chapter is all about a vision that came in 2017 that we call the Heavenly Glorious Church model. And when this download came, it was a biblical, divine heavenly blueprint, and it shows what the glorious church will look like and how it operates. It's going to be amazing to go through that.

Speaker 1

I love that it's just a biblical blueprint that you saw coming down from heaven. And what's amazing about it, it's simple, yet it's profound at the same time.

Speaker 3

Yeah, it's very clear when you look at the scriptures as like wow. It was a wow moment that happened for us. Then we show biblically three next level shifts. How in biblical scripture we see how God shifted a certain pattern he was doing to a whole nother level and another pattern and paradigm and way of doing things. That's what he wants to do again in his church right now. All right. Then we start unpacking that glorious church heavenly model in chapter seven, what that looks like and how we build this model. Chapter seven, part one, is called the Glorious Church Power Center. And you may ask, what is a glorious church power center? Well, we answer that in the chapter when we get into that. And really, we see as a church, there's been some power failures going on.

Speaker 1

Yes. This is one of my favorite chapters. I love this chapter. And that's right. There, the church has been experiencing power failures really all over the place and power failures in the pulpit where we're seeing many scandals and things like that. And so what this is, it shows the components of building a power center. It's like building this electrical plant that's going to power, you know, the church, the body of Christ. And what I love about it is we we also talk about grounding the power center. And you'll get to see that. That's in part two of chapter seven.

Speaker 3

That's right. We also cover in this part one of chapter seven core key glorious church power center features that it actually is laid out in the model itself from chapter six. And we'll also share a prophetic word and vision. It shows what this looks like and what we'll see. It's very powerful.

Speaker 1

Yes. And I love the diagrams throughout the illustrations because they help visually illustrate exactly what God's building.

Key Next-Level Features of the Glorious Church

Speaker 3

That's right. We include actually heavily modeled blueprint diagram over the next four chapters. It starts with the core of the power center, what that looks like. And then we start adding to that the next few chapters. It's very powerful. And then chapter seven, part two are three keys to build a glorious church power center. And then how that power center is powered, what the power behind it is. So in chapter six, we introduce the heavenly glorious church model. Then chapter seven, we talk about the glorious church model power center, what that looks like. And then chapter seven, part two, how to build that, the three keys to help build this glorious church power center. And then once the glorious church power center is set up and in place, then that establishes a foundation for chapter eight, which we call the Glorious Church Training Center. This is where we start training and equipping an end-time glorious army.

Speaker 1

Yes. And you know, that really for these last days, that has got to be the mindset of pastors and churches and leaders across the nation. It can't be about just fellowship. We must have the fellowship that's important, that's scriptural. And it can't be about let's just come and have church and worship. We have to build, we have to have a training center where the troops, God's people, are being trained and strengthened and ready for war, really ready to be deployed in their communities to impact, to save, set free, deliver, impact. And so this glorious training center is huge. And we know some churches, you're there, you see the discipleship in them, you see these things, but this is this is very complete here.

Speaker 3

That's right. It includes what we call the glorious church discipleship growth track.

Speaker 1

Yes.

Speaker 3

We believe every discipleship course should include this glorious church discipleship growth track.

Speaker 1

Yes, and a critical one it includes too is the end time perspectives.

Speaker 3

Because that's right, from chapter one.

Speaker 1

People getting saved and they're being discipled. They need to understand where we are in time and what the days ahead look like, how we are to operate and navigate. And so, yes, that's the critical part.

Speaker 3

This glorious church disciple growth track includes part one and part two of the whole book.

Speaker 1

It's all of that.

Speaker 3

It's all of that, should be all that. And really, we break it down into seven glorious church training modules. Again, you'll see what that is. And again, we also in this chapter, we add to the diagram. We've been starting to build in chapter seven. Yes. And so it's really amazing. You don't want to miss it.

Speaker 1

Well, one thing I love about it too is um as you go through it, you'll see the family, you'll see God's heart for the family. That's right. And the importance of God wants you, your family, your marriage, your relationships. He wants to focus on health, spiritually healthy, emotionally, physically, financially healthy. And God wants to come in and he wants to build and restore. And so this Glorious Church Training Center, it's getting the church healthy, but then it's preparing them to deploy and have maximum impact.

Speaker 3

That's right, which leads us to chapter nine, the 12 Ecclesia Gates. Yes. And this is a whole another level of things. And this is also a result of a great vision that came and a word that came during our prayer time together. The Lord showed us that the kingdom of God would be advancing in 12 different directions. Yes. And we actually lay out what we believe those 12 gates are. Yes. And uh as we see, chapter eight is about training and equipping a glorious church army. This one is about deploying the army to for maximum impact.

Speaker

Yes.

Speaker 3

And to go out and to occupy the kingdom of God in the earth.

Speaker 1

And you know, uh scripture tells us the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church, the church that God builds. That's right. And so God, through the training modules, through the power center, through all these things, God is wants to build. And that's so we can go and push back the gates of hell and tear them down and go in and rescue souls that have been held captive and and um destroyed. But I think what's so amazing about this too is this takes me back when we talk about it to when the Lord first brought us together, which I think we share in our introduction episode. That we when we first came together, God first brought us together, we spent a lot of time in prayer. And God became, we still have pictures of things we drew and things that God was showing us. I still have the pictures and the drawings of the things, and it and that's why we asked then, is this for the millennium?

Speaker 3

And that actually leads us to chapter 10. Yes, which is about that, about God wanting to build a next level glorious church community, really like a city on a hill. And this is the chapter that, just like Cindy said, that we lay out why we looked at each other and asked, is this for the millennium?

Speaker

Yes.

Speaker 3

It was a whole nother level of kingdom community. It's gonna be a great light, a city on a hill. That's right. And it's really, we want to also introduce here a next level glorious church mindset. We also outlined seven next level ways the church can work together strategically for the end times for the days ahead.

Speaker 1

You know, Jesus prayed, Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. He didn't say, you know, just he prayed that heaven would come to earth. And so that's what God wants us to bring is heaven, heaven to earth, and that's Christ into the earth. That's the spirit of God and the presence of the Lord and His His kingdom ways.

Speaker 3

That's right. And so this is one of those chapters we'll believe will stretch people's imaginations a little bit. And that's good. Let it stretch because we serve a big God, there's nothing too big for him. That's right. And he thinks big.

Speaker 1

He does. He he talks big, he thinks big. It's because he is big.

Speaker 3

That's right.

Speaker 1

He is, I mean, just look at the vast universe and the he's very big, and and he's just looking for someone who will believe and stand with him in obedience and align with him.

Part 3 Review & Part 4—An End Time Glimpse Into

Speaker 3

That's right. So that is part three of the rise of the glorious church. It's a major part on a corporate level, what God we believe wants to build. That's part of what he's saying. Break the mold, let my plans unfold. And chapter six is all about that heavenly glorious church model and plan. Then chapter seven shows what that looks like, the features of that, how that actually plays out, how to build that power center that powers everything we do. Then chapter eight about the glorious church training center, where we train and equip God's people. Then chapter nine, that's where the glorious church army goes out and deploys, right? Impacts and occupies and reflects the kingdom of God everywhere we go and has maximum impact, assault, and light. And then chapter 10 is the next level glorious kingdom community, a city on a hill that cannot be hidden. It will be there for all to see. And what we lay out there visually, what we're going to be sharing there is going to be epic, we believe. Again, God is big, he's epic. Amen.

Speaker 1

Amen.

Speaker 3

All right, on to the final part. This is one of my favorite parts, too. I mean, every part of the book is part of our favorite part, we could say.

Speaker 1

I know. Each time we read it, like I'll go in and start reading, and I'm like, this is so rich. Yes, this is so good. And I just sense the Holy Spirit speaking to me. And that is our deep and heartfelt constant prayer is that the Spirit of God, as you go through the book yourself and read it and even listen to these podcasts, that the Spirit of God would breathe new life, hope, courage, faith, and just a whole new vision for the end times here and for your life.

Two Arks & Rise of The End-Time Glorious Church!

Speaker 3

That's right. Amen. And this part four is really an end time glimpse, a glimpse of what the end time glorious church will look like and how exciting it will be. And people think about the end times full of dread, but again, chapter one, we talk about the right paradigm to have that will help change all that. And chapter 11 introduces this part where it talks about two end time arcs are rising. Yes. And you'll probably see visually the two arcs from scripture, as we've seen, is Noah's Ark and the Ark of the Lord, Ark of the Covenant. And those are two arcs we believe God is going to be rising up and what that means. And we lay out five key glorious church features of these end time arcs and the features they're going to have, how they apply to us as the glorious church.

Speaker 1

Yes. Amen. Yeah, I love the short that you did. Yes.

Speaker 3

That shows the two end time marks. It does. I love it. Be sure and see that.

Speaker 1

Yeah, visually, it's it's amazing when you can have a visual to go along with the message. Yes. Because it's it just adds such a dynamic.

Speaker 3

That's right. So we go into all those, what that's about and what that looks like. And we also include in chapter 11, in chapter one, we talked about three right in time paradigms. Will we actually give you a bonus one here? We give you another right in time paradigm to have in this chapter. And you'll see what that is when you get the book or when we cover it as the episode. Yes. It's gonna be great. You don't want to miss that.

Speaker 1

Amen. Amen.

Speaker 3

Amen. All right. The last chapter, Rise of the In Time Glorious Church. This is the crescendo that shows the in time glorious church in action. What is that gonna look like? Wow.

Speaker 1

You know, I love the way the analogy used in the book. We've all seen fireworks on the 4th of July, where we go and sit watch a fireworks and they have these beautiful displays of fireworks. But then at the end, at the very end, they do the crescendo when it's like boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, and they're all just going off at once.

Speaker 3

Just going off full speed.

Speaker 1

All over the place. And so we see that. We see God doing that. Now we know we understand and realize what Jesus said about the end times. We also understand the things that he said about persecution, the things that we're not denying or or just saying everything's gonna be wonderful, because I mean we make it clear throughout the book that things are. Absolutely. And so, but this is where we see as as the end comes and Jesus returns, and towards the end here, we're gonna see that fireworks display where it's all going off at the same time. That's right.

Speaker 3

It'll be massive impact, massive, I mean, everything. And it'll be the greatest harvest at the very end, right before Jesus comes. And we show why the greatest days of the church are ahead of us.

Speaker

Yes.

Speaker 3

And it's really Isaiah 61 to 3 and 5 unfolding before us.

Speaker

Yes.

Speaker 3

And that's why we say it's time to rise up, glorious.

Speaker 1

That's right. And why we say too on the book is that everything's about to change, is we do believe that. That change begins with us. It begins with the church individually, with you. It begins corporately with the churches across the nation individually. And this is where the power center, all these things come in. And every component of this book, every chapter, it just builds. And when all of this starts coming together, and we are operating like this, it's the body of Christ, it's the kingdom of God. For the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdoms of our Lord in Christ. And his kingdom is eternal, it cannot be shaken. That's what the word says. And that is the kingdom he wants us to build. That's the kingdom we should be living and operating in. And that this kingdom, though, the kingdom of the most high, is going to impact and affect every other kingdom of the world. And I mean, there's so many, so much, because we do spend a lot of time in prayer. And when you do, and you connect and interact with God Himself and engage with Him, He begins to show you a lot of stuff. And you start seeing things, He starts showing you things and speaking to you. And there's so much that He has spoken to us and many things we haven't shared, many things we have. But God's um He's He's got a lot to say in these last days, and He's got a lot, He's got a big job for us to do that. That's right.

Speaker 3

So we're so excited. We can hardly wait to start deep diving next episode into everything. But I think just it's good to do a quick review and remember, we have a big God. And just like he said, like Jesus when he was standing outside the tomb of Lazarus, and Martha was saying, Lord, what's going on? Why did you and what did Jesus say?

Speaker 1

Daughter, did I not tell you that if you would believe, you would see the glory of God? Listen to this. Jesus said, I am the resurrection, I am the life. That's right. He wants to resurrect his church, he wants to resurrect your life, he wants to resurrect, he wants to save, set free, and deliver. And that's what he's about. And that's why Christ, in even in our mission statement, our number one thing is to exalt Christ. Because when we exalt him, he begins He's the answer. I'm He is the way, the truth, the life, and He's how we build His church.

Seeing the Big Picture: How the Pieces Come Together

Speaker 3

That's right. And so we believe we will see the glory of God. And that's why this is what this book casts a vision of seeing the church come to life on a personal level and a corporate level on a whole new dimension.

Speaker

Yes.

Speaker 3

Of kingdom, unity, power, and glory. So just as we wrap up here, we want to do a quick review just of the title chapters. First, there's an introduction, talks about begin to think differently, to read this first. Then it goes into part one, an end time shift has begun. Then chapter one, the stage is being set. Chapter two, vision of the seven end time doors. Chapter three, the rebirth of the church. Then part two, the living glorious church on a personal level, talking about chapter four, part one is God's original glorious plan. Chapter four, part two is the five glorious church fundamentals, must-knows for every Christian. Chapter five, the high call to rise up, glorious. And then part three, the glorious church on a corporate level. And how first of all, it's important to understand that the glorious church is not just a people, it's a place, and that we must restore divine order in order to see everything happen. And then chapter six, the heavenly glorious church model in blueprint. Then chapter seven, part one, the glorious church power center, chapter seven, part two, three power keys to build the glorious church power center. Then chapter eight, the glorious church training center, chapter nine, the twelve ecclesia gates, chapter ten, all about a next level glorious church kingdom community, a city on a hill. And then part four, an end-time glimpse, chapter 11, about how the two end time arcs will rise. And then chapter 12, the crescendo, the rise of the end-time glorious church. Wow.

Speaker

Amen. That's so good.
