But this is the mistake we always make. You see, if you don't have an ecclesia, the Google

pronunciation of the word ecclesia is ecclesia. Remember that. It's like vampire, Transylvania.

Ecclesia. So, so the Whitney Houston's in this world and the Elvis Presley's and you know, and the celebrities, you know, and or you'll find out.

They go, that person's a Christian. Well, they're not walking with the Lord. Here's the reality.

We don't have a revelation of the microchurch. The microchurch is that every, you're only business as a Christian is to be a missionary.

How about that?

The difference is you're a marketplace missionary. You're supposed to be accomplishing the mission of God.

It's even we, it's weird how the resistance I feel in the atmosphere when I say that because I think we've all really lost sight of our mission.

Once you're a Christian, your job is to make as many Christians as possible. Did you not know that it wasn't to have the most

the most actualized life? I mean, you don't want to go before Jesus and realize you didn't do what he called you to do, but you had an actualized life.

So, your mission in life is to is to disciple nations to win souls, to influence culture to be salt and light.

And I'm convinced that because the church doesn't look outside of the sanctuary, but just talks about personal empowerment, the people don't know what to do out there.

But you see, I would say the mistake isn't that you go up to a point where you're tempted, the mistake is you're alone when you got there.

Because there's nothing like having a couple of running buddies that can call you out because they know they know what it's like to be in the limelight.

They can call you out because they themselves are also able to do what you do and they're designed to keep you faithful and loyal to your high calling.

So that's why Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were God's first old tester that I can see. I'm sure there's other, but there's a micro church in Babylon.

All places working for Nebuchadnezzar of all the bosses.

But God called them to gather. Why? Because in a situation like that, it'd be easy to backslide unless you had two, three or four that were all committed to standing for Jesus.

And if you've got three or four that are meeting together on a regular basis and watching over each other and praying into a divine as time.

The other thing is when your work isn't a divine assignment.

Forget it if your work is to make money like God you're asking the devil to take you out.

If you're if your if your work is to make you happy so you can have your 401k and your retirement home paid off.
