Our part in building the ancient spiritual house. What is your generation’s part of the overall structure God is building to wear His Own name through the generations of His Purposes? He is writing a grand novel about Himself through all the generations; what is your generation’s chapter to add?

My own generation are namers, interpreters and authenticators. So…

Why authenticators now? Why have a generation of those who are manifesting and walking with Christ in a truly authentic manner. Why would He emphasize that now, in the overall building of His Church or expression on earth. Why authenticate Christianity now?

I often feel the generations of His Purposes, and try to seek out what He is emphasizing each generation. What is He highlighting about Himself through your generation?

Through mine, it is authenticity. We are transparent and real about who we are, and who He is. There is no religious interruption, or ideological one.

I feel the chapters of His Story, and how we are uniquely included in the grand narrative. At times, i can step outside my own generational role and just enjoy the overall story. We each have our part to play, but the story is much bigger than us. May we build well on the foundation which is already laid.

 St Paul warned us to build our part well in the long spiritual saga, and to recall the foundations and be thankful that others built well before us. We test our building on whether we an see the foundation which is Christ, and then we move out with the Father and consider the whole structure, then we add our particular part, we are privileged to build with Him.

 But we are judged based on how well and what we built with, and whether we are in and with Him as we build. We need wisdom to see what materials to use for our story of the building. We have to catch a glimpse of the whole structure to know what’s wise to build with for our part. So if we build with authenticity, if ours is the authentic room in the house, then we do that well, but we also consider how it fits into the whole building.

 I think it’s wise to consider why you are spiritually building with the materials you have. Father is the master builder, and we can ask Him—hey why are you using me now? Why put in authenticity into the story at this point?

 Well the church needs to be real and clear as the best option. Jesus needs to walk in skin and bones now, as He did in real life. But this needs to be emphasized in our season. The Real Jesus—not just religion. But people who are really in Him, and being themselves. That is one of His methods of revealing Himself in this season, and there is a reason for that!

Knowing why your generation now, helps keep us motivated to build and be well. To stand into His purposes for your own generation with passion and integrity.

 There is also a prophetic reason He would emphasize authentic spirituality in my own generation. People need to see un-phony Christians, those who realize and admit their own brokenness and partialness, but that Jesus is still perfect and One worth following. To reveal the trajectory of spiritual growth. The Perfect having come into the imperfect form of our real lives. That we still struggle with our false selves, but our true selves are being formed actively in living relationship with Jesus.

 When you look at the generation of His Purposes over my own generation, you see He is emphasizing authenticity. New authentic forms of being friends of Jesus is His method for this chapter of His Story. For His deeper incarnation in His People, requires us to be real about who we are, where we have come this far in terms of His Formation of His Life in us, and an authentic expression of our passion and struggles to know and be with Him more.

 It is an act of Mercy to offer examples of people who are really open about their own struggles, but also clearly overtly tangibly moving in His Spirit.
