Christians have often sought personal cleansing neglecting the most powerful cleansing of all, the blood of Jesus that flows through His body the Church. We also have fellowship with His suffering and by association with His glory.
The goal is to see people converted to Christ to give them access to the communion of the saints, that will eventually equip them to continue the great commission the repeat and scale the harvest together and sustain the care for those new believers.
Have a look at what Jesus said as He physically appeared to over 500 people after His resurrection.
He breaks the seals, unrolls the strategy, and hands it to the commanders. Two keys make Jesus unstoppable. As Lion of Judah, He carries royal authority—King by right of David’s line (Isa 11:1–5). As Lamb that was slain, He is the perfect sacrifice whose blood paid every cost (Rev 5:9). Authority plus sacrifice equals the highest clearance; that is why He bears “the name above every name” and is called King of kings. No angel, elder, person, or demon can match that clearance.
Believers Overcome According to Revelation 12:11, believers conquer "by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony," emphasizing reliance on Christ's sacrifice, confession of faith, and commitment, even in the face of death.
It is significant that Jesus mentions Samaria. When the persecution arose in the book of
Acts chapter 8 against the church, the believers were scattered and found refuge in
Samaria.
And they shall rebuild the old ruins, They shall raise up the former desolations, And they shall repair the ruined cities, The desolations of many generations.
When we arrived in Cape Town, God told us this will be a city-wide church. It has been over the years and planted out several churches from Milnerton.
