I have been asking God this question for the last few months, "Lord, I
know the old wine skins of the church systems are passing away, what
is the new wine skin you are forming going to look like? "
Two days ago I was watching a show about bees. We have all heard
that the honey bees, are dying. There is colony death due to mites and
disease. Bees are known pollinators of fruit trees. Scientists are
worried. Honey bees live in colonies, with only one fertile queen. The
queen is the only one who lays eggs. All the other bees live to serve
the queen and protect the hive. The majority of the bees spend time
building a hive, and, collecting food to make honey, but they are unable
to lay eggs, because they are not fed royal jelly. Any queen larvae who
hatches after the queen bee emerges is killed. These are the honey
bees
But unnoticed generally, is another kind of bee-the solitary bee or
communal bee. These bees do not live in colonies. Instead, they live
in individual hives with only one bee. The solitary bee builds its own
hive. Often these bees build their individual hives close to other hives of
solitary bees. They seem to live in community.
All the female bees of this species, are fertile queens and can lay
eggs. In other words, they all bear fruit. Additionally, all the female
queens collect pollen and nectar. They perform all the functions and
are fertile.
In addition to this, these solitary bees who live in communities are
better pollinators than the honey bees. If you need a 100 honey bees to
pollinate a field, it only takes 20 solitary bees.
As the commentator was speaking of this, I felt a nudge from the Holy
Spirit.
Almost like a whisper, He said, "and so I will build my church."
No more will My people, be used like worker bees to build someone
else's castle. No more will they sit passively watching My glory being
stolen by another.. Instead, everyone of them will be empowered and
set free to finish the commission I set before them. All of them, will be
disciple makers, demon crushers, sickness eradicators. Where ever
they go, they will spread the pollen of my Spirit and much fruit will be
borne. Wastelands will become filled with life.

This is all I have for now.
