The Micro Church - New Era of Christianity

In my nearly 40 year walk with the Lord, I have personally observed many different seasons of the Lord's grace on His people.  I remember as a early teenager leaning my head against the glass window of the Jesus People Power House as I peered through the windows while listening to the stories of what happens in there in 1969.  It was located on Brady and Cass Street, just several doors down from my grandparents home on Cass St in Milwaukee.  I heard the stories of the late night live music by Jesus rock bands that performed in the building that is now a hardware store.  Little did I know that several years later (1972) when I moved away from home at age 18 into a duplex just 1 block further South on Cass Street that I would be visited by a messenger of Jesus that began my drawing to Jesus as a disciple (1973-1974).

Since that time I have witnessed the advent and growth of the Charismatic/Pentecostal movement that began sweeping main-line denominations.  The prophetic movement began around 1980 and the apostolic movement was birthed in about 1990.  Mega Churches began in approximately the mid 1980's.  The Christian Rock movement began in late 1970's with the birth of "Love Song."  Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, California pioneered a church planting movement based around Christian Rock as young adults were drawn to the contemporary style of music in the early 1980's.  The release of the presence of God moved through the music in outdoor make shift concerts that drew 1000's of young adults.   Maranatha Music, Vineyard Music and Hosanna Integrity Music all launched into mammoth distributors of a new breed of talent in song writing and performing Christian Contemporary Music.  Two huge revivals hit in the mid 1990's in the Toronto Blessing and the Brownsville Revival in Pensacola, Florida.  Both airports that facilitated those cities recorded a huge influx of international travel that created statistical evidence that those revivals dominated flights in and out of them.

Today, I am witnessing the advent of the Mirco-Church.  Although not unique in it's Biblical concepts, this will become a phenomena of God's grace on the church like the previous ones I have mentioned out of my witness.   The Micro Church will have characteristics of the early men and women of God, who by themselves or in a small contingency will bring the domination of the Kingdom of God to affect decision makers in a vast arena of decision makers that affect societies globally.  These Micro Churches will blaze a path through unity, power and authority like their predecessors such as Noah, Moses/Aaron, Joshua/Caleb, Deborah/Barak, David/Samuel,  Esther/Mordecai, Daniel/Shadrack/Mishack/Abed Nego,  Elijah/Elisha, Peter/John,  Paul/Silas.  All of these affected larger mixtures of men and women, but were catalysts to dynamic changes in their respective cultures. Thus I see this release of the Holy Spirit now upon men and women who through unity in the Spirit will accomplish huge tasks that are on God's agenda and time frame. All of which demonstrate that the Holy Spirit once again is going to put the Earth in Jesus order by His system of Justice and Righteousness.  We are training for His reigning and God has begun the process in this time of church history.
