Day 5 -- We Are The Church

Have you heard the song Build Your Kingdom Here by Rend Collective?  If not (or if you love it as much as I do and want to listen again) you can check it out here: Build Your Kingdom Here - Lyric Video.

In the song, the phrase "we are the church" is repeated several times. In the past 24 hours, I've repeated synonymous phrases over and over. It headlined my thoughts.

The church is not the building, the church is the workers. We are the family of God. BUMP sets it up to see this truth well.

Despite where we're from, despite our ages, and our differences that we sometimes stumble to work through; we are the church. We have all come here to the Twin Cities to minister together at this time. God works mightily through His church all throughout history, and this week is no different. We are supporting each other through prayer; intercessors are praying here in the Cities and back at our home churches.  God has allowed situations to happen this week to emphasize the need to support each other (new friends and old friends) through prayer and action.  We are the church, we are family working together. We lay down our lives for heaven's cause.  We are the church, we pray revive this earth.  We pray revive Minneapolis, reconcile the citizens back to You.
