Daniel and Revelation, Part 9 - Rick Joyner
It was Abraham’s quest to find the city that God is building, not men. In regard to the church, once we see what God is building, it is easily distinguishable from what men are building, regardless of how much men may claim that what they’re building is for the Lord, done in His name. History verifies that when any truth gets institutionalized, it will get corrupted, just as this happened with the gospel.
The Reformation led to 500 years to free God’s people from this corruption. The Reformation, named this because it is a reformation of the church, is far from over. After 500 years, the church the world knows is still mostly built on a foundation of human endeavors, and it is far more man-centered than Christ-centered. It is more of an organization than a family, which His church is called to be.
By his remarkable faith, Abraham had to leave all that he knew to pursue what God is building. By this, he became a bridge to all who sought the Lord. It is still the quest of those who seek God to seek what He is doing, and what He is building. As the prayer in Psalm 90:17 says, “Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and confirm for us the work of our hands; yes, confirm the work of our hands.” It is the favor of God to confirm that our works are His works, not just our own good intentions.
