Jeff Reynolds – Capstone Christian
Fellowship
October 2012
Jeff Reynolds is the
Sr. Leader of Capstone Christian Fellowship.
Capstone carries a Fivefold ministry directive as a presence driven
community of devoted lovers of Jesus Christ.
Our mission is to live the Presence, Power, and Peace of Christ and see
the transformation of lives, cities and nations in the coming Kingdom of our
LORD.
About
this word: Saying there is a “new
foundation” could conjure up some problems.
There is one foundation, Jesus Christ, never changing, first and last,
alpha and omega. So how can we have a
new foundation? This word is pointing
to a move of the Spirit that is re-setting the foundations of righteousness and
worship, calling forth an idol-less devotion, opening up a new understanding of
the foundation and the mystery revealed, which is Jesus Christ. The world is experiencing unprecedented
expansion in all spheres, technology, communications, etc…. The Kingdom is as well. The Father desires a worship and devotion
that acts as a new foundation for the move of the Spirit already underway. There is grace for worship which
is more like a habitation in the presence of God. First love and a restored revelation of the perfect and finished work of Jesus are being called to primacy in the hearts of believers and the Church. It is to be the point of outflow in expressing power
and salvation.
The
coming move of the Spirit will require a wide and expertly laid
foundation. Apostolic and Prophetic
voices linked in throne down revelation will be key in unfolding “the new” with
wisdom.
The Spirit is moving in “salt
and fire” (Mark 9:49) bringing a holy fire to our inner man, marking us with
more eternal “seeing, hearing and understanding” and clearly focusing the church on the Lamb
of God and the LION of the Tribe of Judah.
Worship will require greater levels of surrender and will become more of
an environment of agreement, vision and revelation of the Lord Jesus. It
will be living intercession. Presence
habitation (see blog on Habitation vision and other Habitation writing) through inheritance vision of Jesus is creating a new plumb line of
righteousness through the Spirit. Great
freedom, flowing in rivers of grace and favor, revelation and connection with
the heart of the Lord Jesus, will erupt in the hearts of the people and will
find expression in outward signs and wonders.
These wells of worship will be dug with a consistent exercise of
authority and faith in the presence of the Lord and surrender to the
Spirit. Deeper and deeper wells will be
dug by those willing to “stand up in the environment of intercession”. With ever increasing levels of intensity
and freedom the fellowships committed to the throne will see an ever increasing
revelation of the plans of God.
The priority of worship and first love
needs to be given its right place as the foundation.
The Lord is the wall,
buckler and shield. The priority of
worship and the freedom and grace expressed in an environment of intercession
will unsettle the spirits of many who are in the household but have not yet
given themselves to the “new” understanding.
The call of the Spirit is to greater depths of surrender and devotion on
the new foundation. Offering morning,
noon and evening prayers, the open houses of prayer and habitation are the new
foundation. The fire of pure and holy
worship (Spirit and Truth) is set on the old foundation for the transformation
of the old to the new. The focus is
clear and simple – worship on the ruins of the old foundation first. This foundation will support the new pillars.
NEW FOUNDATIONS
|
Ezr 3:3
|
Despite their fear of the peoples
around them, they built the altar on its foundation and sacrificed burnt
offerings on it to the LORD, both the morning and evening sacrifices.
|
It
is time for New Foundations – new foundations.
Jesus is the foundation, cornerstone, and capstone. The Lord is going to change the base line,
the foundation, of geographic areas and regions. New foundations are going to be laid with
Christ Jesus as the cornerstone, capstone and foundation in righteousness,
peace and joy. New alignments,
relationships and unity will be found orchestrated by the Holy Spirit.
Colossians
2:3 “so that they may have full riches
of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God,
namely, Christ in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and
knowledge.”
OUR AMBITION.
There is an invitation to one pure and only ambition;
to be one with Jesus. Jesus is throwing open doors of revelation
and inheritance vision. He is the first
and the last (Rev 1:17-18 / Isaiah 48:12-13).
His desire is for resting places of habitation. A people who are formed and founded on the
pure Word and worship.
STONES
I Kings 5:17 The LORD is calling forth large
quality stones, cut and trimmed with the saw.
At the king's command they quarried out great, costly
stones in order to lay the foundation of the house with dressed stones.
(1 Kings 5:17 ESV)
MORNING PRAYER AND
EVENING PRAYER–
Mountain prayer, a call to manifesting the presence of the Lord
everyday in all places, is an open invitation.
Habitation presence is an
invitation.
The Saints are encouraged to exercise perseverance for the ONE
THING/ONE DESIRE/ ONE LORD/ ONE FAITH/ ONE FOUNDATION. Jesus must remain the ALL and obsession of
the people. Jesus must set the standard
for worship and the Spirit the standard of righteousness. Through revealed inheritance WE will become a
habitation and prayer - a resting place.
This is the first work. The foundation revealed. Jesus Christ who was, and is, and is to
come. (Revelation 1)
The Lord is raising up lights.
Alters of restoration and glory.
Forerunning priests of glory and freedom. Prophetic praise. This is our reasonable act of worship. Romans 12:1-2
The new Fires will be tempered in the holy; a righteousness forged
by the Spirit - an alignment to the True Foundation. This will be Spirit directed authority bathed
in manifest glory. Servants tempered in
the fires of the One Foundation will find habitation presence forged in
understanding inheritance in Christ Jesus.
Revelation worship will be daily bread and revival rivers.
Mark 9:49 “For everyone will be salted with fire” The eternal will emerge through the refinement of the eternal in
the lives of believers. Offerings will
be tested with fire through the Spirit and a new righteousness will be born
with the eternal. Salt will endure the
fire and bear eternal life and fruit in the hearts, souls, minds, and strength
of the believers. Isaiah 48:10
Inheritance revelation (Eph 1:11) Throne down glory – funnels of
seeing, hearing and understanding are open.
The Father is pouring out manifold wisdom (Eph 3:10-11) in presence, adoration,
and in Truth.
The fire of pure and holy worship is set on the old foundation for
the transformation of the old to the new.
The focus is clear, is simple – worship on the ruins of the old
foundation first. This foundation will
support the new pillars.

On the
first day of the seventh month they began to
offer burnt offerings to the LORD, though the foundation of the LORD's temple had not yet been laid.

Old
foundations are being torn up and whitewashed walls are coming down.
Nothing
will stand in His presence but devotion, acceptance, salt and fire.
Ultimate
demands are fire and water – righteousness
and peace – explore the mystery revealed – the hidden treasure (Proverbs
2:3-6)
All
else is whitewash (Ezekiel 13)
|
Ezra
3:12
But
many of the older priests and Levites and family heads, who had seen the former
temple, wept aloud when they saw the foundation of this temple being laid,
while many others shouted for joy.
This is a new foundation – new move of the Spirit (Isaiah 42). It will re-set the vision and understanding of
Jesus Christ and raise him up.
Old understandings and testimonies will continuously give way to
the new sound, the new understanding,
and find continuous encouragement and confirmation in “the seeing and hearing”
of the prophetic.
My God, MY JOY, MY
Delight! –
intercessors heart cry
Our love song is our
war cry –
Intercessors heart cry and battle plan
Humility before the “treasure of wisdom and knowledge” is seeing. Isaiah 26:8
Hunger for the presence of the LAMB is “hearing”.
Understanding is Christ Jesus – inheritance revealed, founded and
understood in pure intimacy, fires of righteousness, and desires unlimited for
"seeing HIM” will continuously be satisfied in those who hunger, thirst,
and surrender themselves to the Spirit's leading and refining righteousness.
He will be known by those whose hearts cannot be satisfied with
any other thing than Son of Man, Lamb of God, Word of God, and Lion of The
Tribe of JUDAH.
|
So this is what the Sovereign LORD
says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious
cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who trusts will never be dismayed.
|
|
He will be the sure foundation for your
times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is the key to this
treasure.
|
This
is a new foundation – new move of the Spirit (Isaiah 42). The Voice of the Spirit in this move, the
heart of the Lord Jesus that is revealed and the avenues of it’s flow will
arise from the new foundation of intercession worship. The former things, as awesome as they were,
were only a shadow of the things to come.
The plans of the Lord continue to unfold. Old understandings and
testimonies will continue to have less and less power while the new will emerge
as if from nowhere. The Lord is hewing
the stones even now and depositing the rhema word into new foundations. The
hearts cry of the forerunners is “My God, MY Joy, My Delight. There is new seeing found in deep humility
before the “treasure of wisdom and knowledge”. There is new hearing in the presence of the
Lamb. Jesus Christ is our understanding.
The former things will
be revealed as lacking power, the weight of glory, and inheritance
understanding.
The Fear of the LORD is KEY.
Submission to the Spirit in righteousness and hunger will lead the
people into a deep heart of revelation and refinement. The way to wisdom and knowledge is the fear
of The Lord.
"My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my
commandments with you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart
to understanding; yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for
understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden
treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge
of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and
understanding; he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to
those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and watching over
the way of his saints. (Proverbs 2:1-8 ESV)
Vestiges of former glory – will be like useless things for those who
cling to the former things.
"Hear this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of
Israel, and who came from the waters of Judah, who swear by the name of the
Lord and confess the God of Israel, but not in truth or right. For they call
themselves after the holy city, and stay themselves on the God of Israel; the
Lord of hosts is his name. "The former things I declared of old; they went
out from my mouth, and I announced them; then suddenly I did them, and they
came to pass. Because I know that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron
sinew and your forehead brass, I declared them to you from of old, before they
came to pass I announced them to you, lest you should say, “My idol did them,
my carved image and my metal image commanded them." "You have heard;
now see all this; and will you not declare it? From this time forth I announce
to you new things, hidden things that you have not known. They are created now,
not long ago; before today you have never heard of them, lest you should say,
"Behold, I knew them." You have never heard, you have never known,
from of old your ear has not been opened. For I knew that you would surely deal
treacherously, and that from before birth you were called a rebel. "For my
name's sake I defer my anger, for the sake of my praise I restrain it for you,
that I may not cut you off. Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I
have tried you in the furnace of affliction. For my own sake, for my own sake,
I do it, for how should my name be profaned? My glory I will not give to
another." (Isaiah 48:1-11 ESV)
This word has three parts.
The second part will be released soon with the third following shortly
after.
