For My church, called by My Name, have been called to go to the streets and to preach the gospel. And yet, so very few have.
Among those denominational, organizational churches, who have built themselves huge buildings, who have built themselves great ideals, and a majestic place in the stature and nature of society––they have been the ones who have not gone.
Oh, they have made great progress at bringing in people to the church, in great organizational systems they have moved to bring more people to the church. But they have yet to go out into the highways and the byways and preach the Word. For that is what I have called them to do. Did not I command this in the 16th chapter of Mark. Did not I command this to every single person to preach the Word wherever you go.
Therefore I am calling together a united people. People not organized by the world, not organized after the fashion of the world, not organized after the manner of the world, to go out into the highways and the byways, to go out into the streets and preach the Word of God.
Find them that don’t go to church. Find them that don’t want to, and let them know Jesus loves them, Jesus cares, Jesus died for them, Jesus wants them. Let them know! That is the calling of every single christian. That is the calling that the church has missed almost entirely. There are very few of those churches who really accomplish this. And yet, there are some; and there are ministries that are doing that.
And those ministries I have raised up. I have raised them up in great number. Yet few have actually gone forth beyond the beginnings of the ministry. They see a great wall of doubt, and they stop. Some see a great wall of problems, and they stop. And others see a great wall of persecution, and they stop. But I tell you, says the Lord God, I have called the church out to preach the Word in the streets! And I call them again!!
If they will not answer, I will raise up churches that do. I will raise up churches that will. For I will have the Word preached, says the Lord God.
