What I love most about God is His faithfulness. He is everso faithful to lead those who are willing to follow. He continues to lead me. Thank You LORD. Being the author and finisher, He leaves no thing undone. When I sought Him about the loose ends in this assignment, He indubitably confirmed His plans.
[I like the way The Message Bible simplifies the scriptures.]
Matthew 10:26-28 "Don't be intimidated. Eventually everything is going to be out in the open, and everyone will know how things really are. So don't hesitate to go public now. "Don't be bluffed into silence by the threats of bullies. There's nothing they can do to your soul, your core being. Save your fear for God, who holds your entire life—body and soul—in his hands."
As I have proclaimed for a while now: "For every plan, there's a process." Everybody loves the declaration of Jeremiah 29:11, but because they are oftentimes unpleasant, nobody wants to go through the manifestation processes to get to God’s promises. Not even repentance. It's almost like it's a dirty word.
God's plan was to glorify His Son through the redemption of mankind, but the process for attaining that glory was: rejection, betrayal, being spat upon, beaten, and crucified. At one point, even Jesus didn't want that cup, yet He endured the process for the greater good; as too, must The Church and cities, as is delineated through ensigns.
Even our own plans are subject to a process. Nobody walks in off the streets and "legitimately" practices medicine. The plan to become a doctor includes at least eight years of college, long hours of study, licensing, and residency. The same is true God's plans to legitimize His people, there's a process. If that process begins with judgement in the church and traversing of the cities, it must start somewhere. In this generation, why not with the city of Houston and Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church?
My question to you is: Considering the events over the past few years, can you still doubt God's hand in this thing to the affect of His plan? What an honor to be chosen for legitimization. Certainly you don't think yourselves too holy to suffer a little for Christ's sake?
Note: It's interesting that the sufferings of Jesus's disciples are very similar to the punishment of the guilty. Perhaps that is because God expects that at the very least, His people and especially those in leadership, would examine a bit deeper than surface level to rightly discern that which is good and godly. If we are truly Christ-like we judge not by the outward appearance. For Jesus himself was subjected to such unjust treatment and a sinner's grave.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil.
There is much left to be communicated.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
