By the end of the first century the church had
evolved into 7 major cities. Pauls prophetic
pronouncement upon the church concerning
grevious wolves and a departure from the
faith ( Acts 20.29,30) had been fulfilled.
John the Revelator now writes to those seven
churches bringing them face to face with what
God saw versus how they were seeing.

The church has spent many years in reformand revival. We are now the fullness of time.Great things are in the horizon for the church.
Great adversaries have been loosed in ourworld, but greater is He that is in you, than hethat is in the world.
The Word of God is what is in question, is ourfaith going to stand on His word or will we bedisheartened by what our mind is seeing.

We have been ministering on the bridalparadigm in order to understand the processand nature of the Rapture and the Marriage
Supper of the Lamb.
The two covenants experienced by thebeliever must be relevant in our generation.
The Word and TheB
lood. These are bothentwined inside of the natural to help usunderstand the spiritual.

The word covenant that I speak of is the Word
of God. It must be agreed upon and honored
by those who engage in the Church, which is
His Bride.
I want to ask you this question today, Is a
covenant sacramental or is it secular?
8/6/2019 The Church Part 16
6/32
Have we allowed the world to handle the
church and Her covenant?
Jesus gave us many words concerning thechurch and the last days, He called them
parables, stories of conditions, climates and
causes that will affect the church in these last
days.

10And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why
speakest thou unto them in parables?
11He answered and said unto them, Because it is
given unto you to know the mysteries of the
kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and
he shall have more abundance: but whosoeverhath not, from him shall be taken away even that
he hath.
8/6/2019 The Church Part 16

13Therefore speak I to them in parables: because theyseeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do theyunderstand.
14And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which
saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand;and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears aredull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at anytime they should see with their eyes and hear with their
ears, and should understand with their heart, and shouldbe converted, and I should heal them.

16But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and
your ears, for they hear.
17
For verily I say unto you, That manyprophets and righteous men have desired to
see those things which ye see, and have not
seen them; and to hear those things which ye
hear, and have not heard them.

The Church is responsible for the mysteries of
the kingdom, you and I must know that
revelation does not change, we just become
deceived, hardened or blind to it..

Matt 13:52
52Then said he unto them, Therefore every
scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom ofheaven is like unto a man that is an
householder, which bringeth forth out of his
treasure things new and old.
The Church is responsible for knowing what
changes and what doesnt change

Luke 12.36And ye yourselves like unto men that
wait for their lord, when he will return from the
wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh,
they may open unto him immediately.
37Blessed are those servants, whom the lord
when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say
unto you, that he shall gird himself, and makethem to sit down to meat, and will come forth
and serve them
8/6/2019 The Church Part 16
13/32
38And if he shall come in the second watch, orcome in the third watch, and find them so,blessed are those servants.
39And this know, that if the goodman of thehouse had known what hour the thief wouldcome, he would have watched, and not havesuffered his house to be broken through.
40Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son ofman cometh at an hour when ye think not.

Immediately, when the Holy Spirit is working
in your life, pre-occupation with ourselves or
other things can cause us to miss what God is
trying to do in His timetable

Matt: 24.32Now learn a parable of the fig tree;
When his branch is yet tender, and putteth
forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these
things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34Verily I say unto you, This generation shall
not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
8/6/2019 The Church Part 16
16/32
44Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an
hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45
Who then is a faithful and wise servant,whom his lord hath made ruler over his
household, to give them meat in due season?
46Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when
he cometh shall find so doing.
8/6/2019 The Church Part 16
17/32
47Verily I say unto you, That he shall make himruler over all his goods.
48But and if that evil servant shall say in his
heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49And shall begin to smite his fellowservants,and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50The lord of that servant shall come in a daywhen he looketh not for him, and in an hourthat he is not aware of,
8/6/2019 The Church Part 16
18/32
Stop, and think for a minute, Do you think that
the coming of the Lord is near, or has the
scoffers, those who delay His coming and the
cynicism of serving God caused you to forget.

Matt: 13.24Another parable put he forth unto them,
saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a
man which sowed good seed in his field:
25But while men slept, his enemy came and
sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26But when the blade was sprung up, and
brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
8/6/2019 The Church Part 16
20/32
27So the servants of the householder cameand said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sowgood seed in thy field? from whence then
hath it tares?
28He said unto them, An enemy hath donethis. The servants said unto him, Wilt thouthen that we go and gather them up?
29But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up thetares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
8/6/2019 The Church Part 16
21/32
30Let both grow together until the harvest:
and in the time of harvest I will say to the
reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and
bind them in bundles to burn them: but
gather the wheat into my barn.
8/6/2019 The Church Part 16
22/32
What are you spending your time doing,
minister unto the Lord, Let the Lord of the
harvest take care of the tares.

12And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest
thou in hither not having a wedding garment?
And he was speechless.
13Then said the king to the servants, Bind him
hand and foot, and take him away, and cast
him into outer darkness, there shall be
weeping and gnashing of teeth.
8/6/2019 The Church Part 16
24/32
10So those servants went out into the
highways, and gathered together all as many
as they found, both bad and good: and the
wedding was furnished with guests.
11And when the king came in to see the
guests, he saw there a man which had not on
a wedding garment:
8/6/2019 The Church Part 16
25/32
The garments of righteousness, is supplied by
the groom, if you dont have it on, you will be
excluded from the wedding.

Matthew 25
1Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto tenvirgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet thebridegroom.
2And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oilwith them:
4But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and
slept.
6And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, thebridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
8/6/2019 The Church Part 16
27/32
7Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed
their lamps.
8
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us ofyour oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest
there be not enough for us and you: but go ye
rather to them that sell, and buy for
yourselves.
8/6/2019 The Church Part 16
28/32
10And while they went to buy, the bridegroom
came; and they that were ready went in with
him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11Afterward came also the other virgins,
saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12But he answered and said, Verily I say unto
you, I know you not.

Relationship is the key to oil, relationships are
based on time and communication..
Isnt it amazing the condition that we allowour spiritual man to fall into..
8/6/2019 The Church Part 16
30/32
26His lord answered and said unto him, Thou
wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I
reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have
not strawed:
27Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money
to the exchangers, and then at my coming I
should have received mine own with usury.
28Take therefore the talent from him, and give it
unto him which hath ten talents.
8/6/2019 The Church Part 16
31/32
29For unto every one that hath shall be given,
and he shall have abundance: but from him
that hath not shall be taken away even that
which he hath.
30And cast ye the unprofitable servant into
outer darkness: there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth
