 The Third Day Church
The Third Day Church (3rd Day) is a broad topic used to describe what is happening in the present church movement. The ancient Catherals are empty now. Lifetimes were spent building them and now they are just site-seeing locations! But... it is no longer about a building, building plans, or another program. Everything is changind. The imperative for us is that we be safe as we progress. Safety is a key here as we enter into the "Finished Work!" We want to adhere to accuracy of the Scriptures. We want to honor what has gone on before. There are many factors involved in this understanding of Third Day that we will discuss in this scetion of the website and on connecting HUBS. Third Day. What do we mean when we say Third Day and Third Day Church? The THIRD DAY is the day of resurrection – where we celebrate the the victory aof the Cross. The THIRD DAY is where we receive of the promises of God NOW in this lifetime – and learn to inherit God’s promises today instead of waiting for the sweet by and by. Scriptures follow… My wedding day is really close… and I’m super excited. My whole life was lived for this moment. I’ve spent months bathing with fine oils and perfumes. And best of all -- look at my white dress! Third Day Kingdom Dominion- Two thousand years ago the birth of Jesus literally divided history in half. Now, the world measures time from before His birth (B.C.) and after His death (A.D.). The life of Jesus was THE GREAT TURNING POINT – the tipping point – the FULLNESS of time, and the great divide of time. You really believe they drank Welch's grape juice at the Wedding in Cana. Your love to sing about being the wretch in "Amazing Grace" Your definition of “fellowship” always involves cake and ice-cream (well maybe that one is true)
No more waiting. It’s time to begin to apprehend what has already transpired. We’re called from the finished place into the BREAKTHROUGH of the dawn of this new day. Now, it is time to grasp the present truths of this ongoing Reformation. The book of Genesis contains the seedbed of Biblical truth. The garden became the birthplace of the whole shebang! All creation and all nations began in the garden. Eternal principles such as seed time and harvest began there. Civilization emerged on the sixth day when Adam... Covering Currently the church uses many catch phrases that everyone seems to understand. One is this notion that every believer needs a "covering" and every local church needs a "covering." Like Waffle House hash browns, we just gotta’ be covered and smothered -- somehow it’s the thing to do. As we move into the new third day, we need to find a more accurate understanding of where we are going. We need a revelatory glimpse of new church and the corporate man— "A day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day," II Peter 3:8; Psalm 90:4 This Third Thousandth Year (third millennium) since Jesus died is upon us. And this "Third Day" concept requires a "NEW Way" of having and doing church. Really. How bad is the situation you’re facing today? I can’t even remember anymore how many times I’ve complained, “That’s it. I can’t take anymore. Life is too hard.” Surely, there have been more times than I care to admit – especially being a so called, “preacher of Faith!” Life has certainly turned out to be far more difficult than I ever imagined.
