Wisdom Builds Community

The Family of Families is a Family of families.  The Church is the Family of God - a community that is rooted in the love of the new covenant.  God intended the family to be a beautiful picture, but we are almost unable to fathom a wholesome family unit in our fractured and fragmented world.  God's design is that family is built by generational impartation, to our biological and spiritual children, those who would become disciples of the Lord.  What we all have known as church (cultural church) is held together by an event-based system that, though unintended, unfortunately relies on popularity as much as the Holy Spirit, and in the end has only the appearance of a family, but it is a house built on the sand.

While the starting point is each one making a choice to follow the Lord as an individual, the blue prints call for the building of The Family, by building marriages that build families, that build The Family.  The Church, God's Family, is a Family of families - a House of households.  From many, One.

The end result is a force in the earth that Heaven calls The Church.  The gates of hell cannot stand against this Body.  Just as Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords, so too is the Church intended to be The Family of Families.  A group of people who know how to love and relate to one another so selflessly, so seemlessly, that they are revealing the Kingdom of Heaven simply by the way they love eachother.  This is impossible to attain with our current paradigm of 'church.'  The Spirit of Wisdom will cause the hearts of the fathers to build by obtaining children.  The Spirit and power of Elijah will reflect this Wisdom as a voice arises to turn our hearts to our ancient fathers of covenant, and see how they built with Wisdom.

    2Religion/Community Mountain (R)

    A primary coordinating point for the Message of Wisdom (The Kingdom), and also a primary place where the world-view of new covenant community built by Wisdom is cultivated.

    3Government Mountain (G)

    The coordinating point where the policy & operations of the city services are enacted. Understanding the Individuals, Institutions, & Personality thesis is vital here. The wise tend to the right, the fools tend to the left. (Ecclesiastes 10:2)

    4Business Mountain (B)

    This mountain is where the wealth of the earth is created. Key is to avoid the LOVE of money. You cannot serve God and money.

    5Education Mountain (E)

    This is where the cultural world-view is transmitted to the next generation. Key is keeping the Fear of the Lord in place because it is the beginning of Knowledge.

    6Arts & Entertainment Mountain (A)

    This is the celebration mountain. Churchianity usually has a hard time allowing this (or sometimes has no standards to limit this). Key is to not allow LOVE of pleasure to push out LOVE for God. The Woman Folly has gained much ground here in the last century.

    7Media Mountain (M)

    Media is last because (in my opinion) it has eclipsed the others in its scope of influence. It is by far the most powerful mountain. This could be the mountain/king/head that 'was yet to come' in John's revelation. Revelation 17:10
