Ministry of Reconciliation.

Some time ago the Lord took me to the verses in 2 Corinthians 5 where Paul shares the revelation of the ministry of reconciliation given to us from God. It is particularly illuminating to read these few verses from the Amplified Bible. Verse 19 is particularly powerful.


'It was God (personally present) in Christ, reconciling and restoring the world to favour with Himself, not counting up and holding against [men] their trespasses [but cancelling them] , and committing to us the message of reconciliation (of the restoration to favour).  


In the previous verse Paul states that God, in Christ, received us into favour, brought us into harmony with Himself. This is the heart of the gospel of Grace. This is where the religious guys get freaked out as they have no conception of the heart of the Father. This is a pivotal time in God's economy, these days are vitally important for the body of Christ and the world. I am convinced without a shadow of doubt that Abba wants the Bride to pick up this mantle of the Ministry of Reconciliation. It has been neglected but must now be valued once again. God spoke to me very strongly this morning about it and finished with this statement.

'I wouldn't blame anyone for rejecting religion son, would you? But rejecting My love and favour is another matter.'

We need to be reminded that Jesus is coming soon. Shalom.
