Welcome to the Church. I'm Monica Dennington. This is the place that God is calling you
in these end-times in order to receive the word of the Lord that is going to clean the
bride of Christ and make her ready for her soon coming king.
Jesus Christ tells us that anyone who wants to do God's will is his mother, brother and
sister (Matthew 12:50). And he also told us that when he established his Church, that
the gates of hell would not stand against it (Matthew 16:18). The bible tells us that
the way we join the Church — or God's family — is that we place our trust in Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ died on the cross in order to pay for our sins that we might be reconciled
to God (John 3:16-17) — that we might be adopted as sons and daughters of God (Gal 4:5 NLT)
And we also have a promise that if we place our trust in Jesus Christ, not only
will we be saved from sin (Romans 10:9), but that we will have an eternal live with God
as the bride of Jesus Christ (John 17:3).
That, my friends, is the Church — all of those people who are born of God's Spirit. Jesus
tells us about this new birth, in John 3. He says , "I tell you the truth, no one can
enter the kingdom of God unless he's born of water and the spirit. Flesh gives birth
to flesh, but the spirit gives birth to spirit." (John 3:5b-6)
This also answers the question, where is the Church?
Jesus said, "The wind blows wherever it pleases, you hear its sound, but you cannot tell where
it comes from or where its going, so it is with everyone who is born of the spirit." (John 3:8)
So the Church is the people of God. It is the city of God. It is the bride
of Jesus Christ (Revelation 21:2). And you cannot place your finger on where the kingdom
of God is. As Jesus said, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation,
because the kingdom of God is in your hearts." (Luke 17:20b-21)
The reason why we're here, ladies and gentlemen, is that God has sent us (John 3:34) in order
to bring to you the pure spiritual water that will clean you up as the bride of Christ (Ephesians 5:25-27),
as is prophesied in the scriptures (Revelation 19:7-8a). And it tells us in the book of Revelation — in this prophetic book that tells us about
this end-times generation
in which we are living right now — before the King, Jesus Christ returns in the clouds, there
will be a voice from heaven that says, "Come out of Babylon, my people." God has sent
us here to you today to proclaim in your hearing that the voice has spoken, that God is calling
you out of Babylon.
As it says, "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins
so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.
Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for
what she has done. Mix her a double portion from her own cup. Give her as much torture
and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, 'I sit
as queen. I am not a widow; I will never mourn.' Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her:
death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord
God who judges her." (Revelation 18:4-8)
Now we know from the scriptures that the Church that Jesus Christ established was and is unified (Acts 2:44 AMP).
There are no denominations, there are no divisions within the body of
Christ in the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 1:10). And we know also that the thing that
unified the Church after the resurrection of Jesus Christ was the fact that they all
shared in one spirit (1 Corinthians 12:13), and they all devoted themselves to one teaching (John 8:31).
And specifically, that is the teaching of Jesus Christ and the apostles (Acts 2:42).
Now, as God is calling you out of Babylon in these end-times, he has provided you with this place.
This is where God has called you to come to get the pure unadulterated word of God.
The simple teachings of Jesus Christ and the apostles. Unadulterated by the politics of power,
100% pulpit free, straight from the pages of scripture. This is the pure spiritual
water that Jesus will use to clean you up as his bride, that you may be a bride without spot of wrinkle,
for he is coming soon (Ephesians 5:25b-27). As he says in Revelation 22:12,
"Behold, I am coming soon, my reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according
to what they have done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning
and the End." ( Revelation 22:12-13)
So whether you're a layperson, a pastor, a professor, a politician, a doctor, a lawyer,
a butcher, a baker; whoever you are — if you are a member of the body of Christ, if you
are a part of the kingdom of God, if you're born of the spirit — this is the place that
God is calling you to get your pure spiritual teachings straight from the pages of scripture (1 Corinthians 2:13 NLT),
without any human words or doctrines added to it, and without
any of God's holy words taken away from it (Revelation 22:18-19).
This is where you are to come to learn to obey the commandments of Jesus Christ. You
will learn about the heights and the depths of Christ love for you (Ephesians 3:18b-19).
About how to accept God's invitation to the wedding feast (Revelation 19:7-8). And how
to be the bride that God has always dreamed of.
So ready or not people of God, the time has come to hear the voice that is now crying
out, "Come out of Babylon!" Now
is the time for the bride to come away with the king — now is the time for exodus.
