The church has become domesticated, tamed and controlled. This was not the original design. This is not how this governmental structure called church began. Those men who walked with Jesus were not passive, they were not castrated, they were not docile.

The man named Peter said, if that is you Lord, call me out on the water? There is nothing tame about that. The man Paul who persecuted Christians and then was struck by lightning, became blind for three days and then got baptized and began an apostolic mission that brought the gospel to the known world of that time was not docile.

The authorities of the day were threatened by them, because they could not be tamed, they would not allow them to cut their horns off or shave them down to make them more controllable.

Mary did not ask permission before saying yes to the Holy Spirit to become pregnant without a man; Jael did not say I can’t do this because I am a woman, no she drove a tent peg through that man’s head and brought victory to a whole nation.

The Bible even declares “These men have been with Jesus, for they are uneducated.” It also says, “These men who turn the world upside down have come here as well.” These are not statements about weak, half-hearted domesticated people. These are people who have been with Jesus.

Passion, authority, purpose, decrees, life, joy, peace, prayer, power, signs, wonders, miracles. When they brought the ark back to Jerusalem a man tried to steady it, domesticate it, control it, and Uzzah can tell you what happened. David then realized, I need to become even more undignified than this.

Friends, the ark is coming back to the church, to His people. It is going to make us untamed, wild and free. We are going to see passion restored, power available, love like we’ve never known. It won’t be stopped, it won’t be controlled, it won’t happen in two hours on a Sunday, it is going to be a move that will be everyone, everywhere, everyday. It might get loud.
