You understand infrastructure to be the supporting resources of society. You need roads and utilities – water supply and an electrical grid. You are used to having these things and may only notice when they are out of service. I told a parable of wine and wineskins. Do you see the wineskins as being the infrastructure of the church? You need a place to meet and some level of organization for a church to function, but the essence of the church is wine, not wineskins. Consider and implement your supporting resources in such a way that they are really supporting and not existing for their own sake. Be ready to adopt new wineskins when I am serving new wine. 

In one of my last encounters with my disciples I prayed for the church before it existed. I acknowledged that my followers were not of this world, even as I was not, and sanctified them, and commissioned them, sending them on in my name. I did not pray for them alone, but also for those who would believe through their words. I prayed that they would be one, not as second class citizens who had a diminished connection being one step further removed from the source, but one in every measure of unity, of glory, and perfection in my presence. This was my desire for all who would follow me. What greater ideal could I proclaim for my church? 

You know from what you understand of my nature that I am an absolute sovereign. I can act in any way I want. Yet what pattern do you see in scripture? How often do I act entirely on my own and how often is there a person involved in the process? I am relational by nature. How often have you seen me move unilaterally? Someone feels compelled to pray before there is a revival. Someone usually prays and lays on hands before healings occur. Someone seeks me and responds in obedience before my power is manifested. In my sovereignty this is how I choose to act. How should you respond once you see this pattern clearly revealed? Step forward and volunteer to be the one through whom I act. 

Early in church history a Roman Emperor was saved. This had a great impact on the church. You should be in favor of everyone being saved, but do you see that having the ultimate political authority in charge of the church could be a mixed blessing? Some of my followers left civilization and went into the desert to maintain the simplicity of my teachings. I spoke clearly enough in saying that my Kingdom was not of this world. The tension between church and state has existed since that time and still does. You still need my wisdom to render unto Caesar the things that are Caesars and unto God the things that are Gods.
