The spring (cell) becomes a river (Church) and then sea (net) and a powerful ocean (Net of Multiplying Churches)

For the earth will be filled with the knowledge for the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk 2:14 

Look among the nations, and watch- be utterly astounded! Because I will work a work in your days, which you would not believe, though, it were told you. Habakkuk 1:5 

 

In 2016 God spoke to us about something new, unexpected, that would unleash for the 21st century as the movement of "Latter-day Saints." After 500 years of reformation, God is bringing a reform of the Church's mission, its nature, structure, discipleship, and outreach. In the first 500 years of reformation, God came with a restoration of the limbs of the body, a glory manifested in rivers. Typologically the rivers by definition have their channel, their geography, their particular characteristics; In the same way, the rivers that God established in past centuries, in earlier kingdom movements, can be identified as: Catholics, Pentecostals, Methodists, Baptists, etc. Now, when the rivers empty into the sea, their identity is lost to form a single identity, which we call "Oceanic" identity. We understand that this first anointing of heaven that we have been talking about, was to restore the members of the body and as a result we saw in these 500 years an exaltation of members above the Body (Church) that began with Martin Luther and many other reformers like John Wesley in the past; And today others like Maldonado, Rudy Gracia, T.D Jakes, Joel Osteen and others. That is, the restoration of "members" of the past centuries; And which continued until the twentieth century was incomplete in terms of the final purpose of "Restoring the Body." It is important to emphasize that God unleashed an anointing of the members of the church, which brought exaltation of members in the form of Eagles (Maldonado, TD Jakes, Joel Osteen etc.) but now God comes with a body restoration where attention will not be in The Eagles but in the Body. As it is written:

Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather. Mathew 24:28 

 

The Holy Spirit testifies to us that in this new "Oceanic" phase we will no longer be able to point to a specific river (denomination or inter-denomination); But the traditional churches as we know them in the 21st century, are moving more and more to a new movement of glory where they left behind the structures, names and positions to lead to the sea of globalization of the twenty-first century or consequently will disappear. A testimony to this irrefutable truth is that more and more we are seeing that many of the Nominal Churches known as traditional and contemporary are removing their logos, their symbols, their names, to separate themselves from the baggage these names bring for years after the last Protestant Reformation. They no longer want to be related to that story. They want to reach the new generation of the 21st century, and therefore, it is necessary to leave behind the old armor and take the new one to continue in the struggle for the souls of Christ.

 

Missionary agencies like "Disciples of Nations" report as statistics on their website that annually 55 million people go to an eternity without Jesus. This is equivalent to 150 thousand people daily. It's like watching 88 daily planes crash and not being alarmed. Therefore, in the 21st Century God will attract the Church to himself because this time the anointing is of the Body and for the restoration of the Body, above the members for an uprising of His Glory that brings the original purpose into order. He will unleash apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, to perfect the Saints in unity to raise the Militant Church in a Rapture of Glory, but before the physical Church is raised, there is a restoration of the spiritual doors of the Church, for a spiritual uprising of the Church never seen before. Where the dead Body is there the eagles will gather, but the attention will not be in the eagles (leadership) but the attention will be in the body of Christ. Eagles flying to the dead body must have died to every personal ambition of titles, salaries, positions, recognitions and applause. These eagles have died, so that all the attention is in the local and global Body of Christ and not in themselves.

Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied: The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say. ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is’, because the kingdom of God is in your midst.” Luke 17:20-21 

Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather. Mathew 24:28 

 

Only the dead will attract the eagles of the new Glory movement "Thirst for his Glory". God's moves are offensive but glorious on the inside, this strategy of God parallels the strategy of Jesus when he said: " And hearing not hear "in other words, only those called to lead movements will hear the voice of the movement; And only those with eagle vision will see the vision unleashed on the dead body "Church". God offends our senses, pushing us to test the appearance of piety, proving the efficacy of it in those who move led by the Holy Spirit. The called ones will pass the test of the forms, the structures, the processes and the policies to experience the glorious movement of Glory inside which characterizes the movements of God. Again, God is saying I will draw them to myself: nations, ethnic groups in a leadership movement (Eagles) never seen before. Again, says the Spirit; But the attention will not be in the Eagles but in the Body. He who has ears to hear hears!

I face death everyday-yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:31

We are visioning on May 25th 2017 that we will plant 2,500 Churches in the next 10 years 2027.

 

 

1. Place the implementation of the D21 mission statement as a priority in its local context (we understand that many of us have local responsibilities)

2. Implement a process that contextually implements CPM principles effectively.

3. Agree with the joint doctrinal statement (Apostolic Creed).

4. Participate actively in the D21 community and its objectives through prayer, share ministry resources within D21 Global Ministry. 

What Network members can expect:

1. Access to all the training offered by Network D21 and its partners.

2. Access to all material developed by the D21 Network and its members.

3. Tutoring and training of Network D21 as desired and requested.

4. Access to the prayer resource of Network D21.

5. Ability to request and receive trained and effective missionaries from international partners to facilitate CPM leadership training and church planting.

6. Use the name and logo of D21. This is recommended, but never removes local identity, autonomy, and liturgy and distinctive doctrine. Each church in the network remains autonomous and self-governed. The Mother Churches maintain responsibility in every sense for daughter churches that plant.

7. Empower lay people to lead the church with full authority, including the sacraments. And according to his call based on Ephesians 4:11.
