Today there is a lot of emphasis on building within Christianity. We speak of building the kingdom and building the church, neither of which are our responsibility. The Father has given us the kingdom and Christ said He would build the church. In the New Testament, the word translated as church is Ekklesia. In the days of Jesus, Ekklesia was not used to define a religious gathering for expressing worship and learning about a deity. The Ekklesia was a governing body in a region that assembled for the purpose of legislating the region, initiating laws and declaring war. It was an assembly of diverse citizenry, who collaborated for the good of the region. When Jesus said, “I will build my Ekklesia,” He had something different in mind than what we call the church today. Join us in this book as we seek to find the definition of God’s intention and allow the real church to stand up.

“As God’s ekklesia, we are the authority in the earth. Jesus said in Luke 10:19, ‘Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.’ We must start leveraging this power to rescue our sons and daughters.” (source)

“We can make a difference, a kingdom difference. If Daniel could cry out and incite a battle to break out in the atmosphere that led to a principality being overthrown, then we can too.” (source)

“Ekklesia is the governing assembly of heaven here on earth and is responsible for declaring war, releasing military strategy, legislating the region, and electing officials.” (source)

“We will become the ekklesia of God, a governing force that gathers to change time and season over nations, those whose decrees and desires become law.” (source)

“Everything has relational connection and influence. Our life follows what we believe. We do what we believe” (source)
