Remember the Future

A voice crying, prepare the way, the King is coming, approaching quick with healing in His train, A voice revealing, peeling the veil from the eyes of present darkness, to unpack the delights of a coming world, to harness the powers, tomorrow's design, arrest imagination with wonders and signs...

Its time for us to remember the future. We, as the people of God, are not a relic of the past but very literally the children of a coming age! Too often culture has shaped the 'kingdom' instead of the Kingdom shaping the culture. This is a call to all the artists ands artisans, the poets, pastors and nation shifters of our day; Our mandate is to turn the world upside down.
The surface dwellers of the days of Acts said with terror in their trembling voice, "Oh no, These that have turned the world upside down are come here also" (Acts 17:6).

One of our favourite portions of scripture is found in Zechariah 1:20-21:

Then the LORD showed me four craftsmen.
And I said, “What are these coming to do?”
So he said, “These are the horns that scattered Judah, so that no one could lift up his head; but the craftsmen are coming to terrify them, to cast out the horns of the nations that lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.”

It is time for the craftsmen to rise up, the anointed artisans of our day, the visionaries and revolutionaries of the future, to step through and fearlessly shape the present with divinely inspired innovation...

Instead of an archaic bastion of religious memorobilia, the church is to be the cutting edge of tommorrow's ideas and environment. Let's stand in our place of salvation, a people of the future age, a life without limit, without sickness, disease or poverty (of heart, soul or body), and deliver the message to the present population of a world groping for a way ahead. We have...no, we are...the answer!
