This book reveals what heaven expects from the church. It reveals what Jesus meant by I will build my church. It is not a critique but a standard of spiritual measurement and divine alignment as to the definition of a true church.

The Dead-Living Church'' re-defines the concept of church (the true Ekklesia), her global positioning and her responsibilities according to the original intent of God. Jesus' declaration in Matthew 16, I will build my church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it far outweighs the theological assumptions and religious beliefs about what church is supposed to be. This book is not a product of professionalism; it is a prophetic release by the Spirit of the living God. The Church is not a denominational gathering of religious people, but the Ekklesia, the people called for an assignment, the assembly of legislating on behalf of God on earth. This book will take you through a journey. Its intent assuredly will awaken your spirit man to experience a paradigm shift from Churchianity to that which is God s original intention."

Any one whom is a critic is criticizing the Holy Spirit in this move. It is easy to speak against something you don t fully understand. Listen you need to be open to what God wants to do.

However, as you pray for wisdom, the anointing to move forward is so great that godly insight seems to spring into your conscious mind with ease. During the moving forward to becoming a prototype Church you will find oppositions. Every day brings a pressure cocktail of more people, more needs, greater opposition, further demonic attacks, fresh misunderstandings, calculated misinterpretations, added responsibilities, supplementary clerical problems to overcome, and extra requirements for advice, leadership, and ministry. Everything is strained to the limit of personal and physical ability. One thing that will surely cause a quicker finished Church is Revival. Revival seems to be concerned with endurance and stamina as much as it is preoccupied with anointing and empowerment. You are in the midst of constant attack and blessing; of tiredness, pressure, and opposition; of trying to keep everything going smoothly so that more people can be touched and reached; of not losing people to poor organization and mismanagement. You do not want this move to blow through society, touching thousands of lives, but not see church built at the end of it. Indeed, it shows no signs of tapering off! Are you getting excited about a new move of God? The need to develop leaders and train people to look after others, the need for more prayer, and the demand for more workers is huge. You are caught up in the whole wonderful and demanding, exhausting mix of a move of God. The implications and repercussions are going to hit everyone, hard. You don t need this pressure right now. We know you will enjoy this powerful book THE PROTOTYPE CHURCH."
