Acts 13:22 Strategy & timing The Saul-David transition represents the transition from an old order to the new from human government to God's.

Principle-Shift

The Saul-David Transition Part 7/8 But he removed Saul and made David their king ... Acts 13:22 Principle-shift For those sensitive to the Holy Spirit there is a principle-shift.

Leader-Shift

The Saul-David Transition Part 5/8  But he removed Saul and made David their king ... Acts 13:22 Leader-shift There is a leader-shift occurring in the church. If David is the proto-typical man of God's government, Saul is the proto-typical man of human government.

Structure-Shift

The Saul-David Transition Part 5/8  But he removed Saul and made David their king ... Acts 13:22 Structure-shift God is not only messing with our main-game – the purpose-shift – but also with our structures! There is a structure-shift underway, re-shaping the contemporary church.

The Message

21st century Western man is now living in the moral debris of the 20th century experiment—the experiment of messianic statism – Marxist, Fascist, and now secular Humanist – with its rejection of God in Christ as the genius of the Western cultural heritage. Spiritually, morally, and financially bankrupt the West has now exhausted its options. 

Our message despite the historic failure of humanity, including the church, is one of certainty and hope. God has a purpose for history and for nations—for their governance, prosperity, and peace. God’s plan for the planet is more than adequate for its crisis. Lifemessenger is committed to speaking a prophetically pertinent word to church and culture.
