The CONDUCTOR, Orchestra and Symphony of the LORD

What God does is perfect and beautiful. When man subjects to Him and follows His lead it is wonderful and too rare. I often speak about the offenses against God that grieve Him and hinder Him. There is a long history of this written down in the scriptures of the failure and rebellion of Israel and Judah. How often God said how He wanted good to come but they refused. Jesus said the same thing to the Jews and said “they would not”.

The church world has long since gone astray in the way it worships and serves God for the most part. It has diminished from glory and the power of God in purity to where it has mirrored the synagogue system. The synagogues were places religious people met. They had a ruling person over the others called a Rabbi. They did religious things and spoke and heard doctrines not derived from God's Spirit or oracles. It was dead religion other than what God could do to a few remnant people that did desire God.

I could speak how the synagogue system of the church world has ruling masters titled, paid, trained, and exalted over the people despite the fact that Jesus rules against all these ways. So you have a system that does not follow Jesus. What does that do? It is like the ancient ones that departed the Fountain of Living Waters—God, for cisterns of polluted waters that man offers. Or, how God withdrew His presence from them and the people did not ask “where is the Lord?”. And in His House, they would be involved in all manner of evil, and even idolatry, and then come and worship God. What an offense!

The thing is, when people do not walk in the way of the Lord, or have everything wrought in Christ, it fails and hinders the glory and power of God. God can not bare witness to what is not true. Jesus says, God is a Spirit, and those who worship Him are to worship in spirit and truth. That means, not in the flesh and falsehood. Hello?

I want to write of the good news when people subject themselves totally to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and follow His lead. This is the Conductor I speak of as an illustration. The Conductor leads those of the orchestra. A group of highly efficient musicians and singers to perform their part in a tapestry of sound. It can be beautiful indeed if all flows correctly. The symphony I am suggesting is the “music” of God that comes as every part of the body of Christ yields and flows together as the Holy Spirit leads. Wow. That would be something. It is a rare occurrence but it does happen.

This is something we as followers of Jesus should strive. To do all things in subjection to the Lord, and yielding to His power so He can manifest His glory through us for His own name sake. The presence and power of God would come as Jesus Himself is in the midst spiritually. This is the Conductor, orchestra and symphony that the Lord desires for His people in these last days.

We have had enough of the theatrical antics of performances up on stages religiously. With the lofty masters speaking their own words and not by the Spirit of God. The things done for vain glory or just ignorance of the direction the Spirit would lead. This is why the power of God ceases for the most part and the gatherings are merely mechanical dry and dead. That is not the will of God.

I often wonder as the churches choose their music whether loud or soft, fast or slow, this style or that, who the music is really for? I don't believe for a second that it is for God really. Worship is to bow before God in attitude, mind, spirit and life. It was once commanded to worship the Lord your God and Him and serve Him alone. That seems pretty simple but it was largely denied. That is sad what God has endured even having a broken heart for the abominations of His religious people gone astray.

God says, “Clean your hands and purify your hearts. Draw near to Me and I will draw near to you. Break your follow ground of your heart, and sow not among the worldly thorns and thistles.” We have a process to go through of refining and purifying before we meet the Lord as a Body. Many will refuse this process and already have. They like the old wine instead, thinking it is better than the new that God offers. See?

There is a remnant of people here and there. God has His abiding saints and more are coming as the world crumbles due to its wicked ways. Some will cry out and call upon the name of the Lord. And the Lord will answer and save, then lead them the way.

The Lord will direct these people and have them meet others also seeking Him. They will speak what they are hearing and seeing from the Lord and this will edify them. When two or more are gathered in Jesus' name, He is there in the midst He tells us. They forsake the grieving offenses of the synagogue system that operates in the institutional church. No more masters other than the Master Jesus. No more fleshly talks and musical displays without the Spirit. They will refuse the strange fire and offer to God a pure sacrifice of love and obedience moment by moment to the Lord.

When they meet, and are constantly having their eyes on the “Conductor”, each person follows the lead God directs them. He shows them in their spirit and heart what to do and say, when and what, and all the details. This is the symphony that will be pleasing to God, not just religious spectators sitting in pews. Follow the Leader ladies and gentlemen. He will guide the way.

Lastly, some will oppose this and have no interest in being led by the Spirit in gatherings. Why? It requires a consecrated life in Jesus where the flesh and the world is purged from the spiritual garments. Those who walk with the Lord know the bogus pretenders through discernment. One can't be giving God lip service and in reality living a foul life in word, deed, and thought and think the Spirit of God bares witness to them. No, God exposes the truth. When the body comes together and they are truly subjected to the Lordship of Jesus, the conviction of His presence is unavoidable. That is what people do not want unfortunately. But those who love the Lord are going to press on and believe this type of gathering to occur anyway. God's will be done.
