“Come out from among them and be separate,” says the Lord.
This isn’t just an echo from the past; it’s the cry of the Spirit in this hour. A call to the “called-out ones.” An invitation to awaken from slumber, shake off the chains of religious systems, and step into the Kingdom reality we were born for. Right now, across the West and beyond, something is stirring.
People are hearing the voice of the Shepherd again, not through the noise of celebrity platforms or flashy conferences, but deep within the spirit, an unmistakable pull toward something ancient, raw, and Spirit-breathed. The ekklesia is rising.
For centuries, we’ve confused “church” with institutions, buildings, and Sunday routines. But when Jesus declared, “I will build My ekklesia,” He wasn’t talking about a nonprofit organization or a ministry brand. The Greek word ekklesia means “the called-out ones,” those called from one realm to operate in another.
In the Roman world, the ekklesia was a governing assembly that represented the will of the king. That’s the blueprint. That’s the DNA. Not spectators in pews, but sons and daughters operating in the authority of the King, pushing back darkness and releasing the culture of heaven on earth.
What we are witnessing in this generation is not the deconstruction of faith, but the reformation of it. This is not rebellion or division, it’s realignment. A remnant is awakening. There’s a shift from spectatorship to participation, from consumerism to communion. The Spirit of God is activating gifts that have lain dormant, uncovering the buried treasure in “every” believer.
He’s not just calling the famous or the fiery ones, He’s calling the faithful. The overlooked ones, the intercessors, the shepherds without pulpits, the prophets without platforms. This is the hour of activation.
The Western church has largely functioned on a model that centers around a stage and an audience. But in the Kingdom, there is no stage, there’s only the Body. And every part of the Body matters. Every believer carries a gift. Every believer has an assignment. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 12 that the Spirit distributes gifts as He wills, and every part of the Body is necessary.
We don’t have to wait for permission to be used by God. If we have the Spirit, we have a role. This rising ekklesia isn’t built around personality cults; it’s built on presence. The days of one-man shows are fading right before our very eyes, and the priesthood of all believers is coming into view.
So, what does this priesthood look like in action? It looks like the book of Acts. It looks like homes, coffee shops, garages, and parks, filled with worship, prayer, and deep fellowship. It looks like breaking bread, meeting needs, and walking in unity. It’s not performance-driven, it’s presence-driven. It’s not about church growth, it’s about Kingdom expansion.
People are hungry for something real, something raw, Spirit-led, and rooted in love. They’re not looking for perfection; they’re looking for presence.
Even as the structures around us shake, “love” remains our highest aim. The rising ekklesia must be rooted in love. Not just love for God, but for one another. Jesus said, “By this all will know you are My disciples, if you love one another.” The greatest sign of maturity in this hour won’t be prophetic accuracy or theological depth; it will be how we treat each other. Love is the revival we’ve been praying for.
As this shift continues, we’re also seeing a dismantling of man-made platforms. For too long, influence has been measured in followers and metrics. But the Spirit is shifting the spotlight. He’s raising up the hidden ones, those who have stewarded the secret place and carry heaven’s authority.
These aren’t platform builders, they’re altar builders. They’re not impressed by fame; they’re possessed by fire. They don’t need to be seen, but when they speak, chains break. This is the hour of the “nameless and faceless ones,” and they’re carrying the next wave of reformation.
But we must be sober about this season. The ekklesia is not rising into ease; it’s rising into conflict. We are stepping into spiritual warfare on a whole new level. The enemy is not concerned with our church attendance; he’s terrified of our obedience. He doesn’t mind if we show up on Sundays, as long as we never step into our authority. But when the ekklesia rises, the gates of hell start to shake. We’re not fighting for victory; we’re fighting from it, and we must be equipped. We must be grounded in truth, walking in unity, and clothed in the armor of God.
Beloved, in the midst of this current shaking, we must never lose the simplicity of the Gospel. The ekklesia doesn’t thrive on hype; it thrives on the cross. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is still the power of God unto salvation. It’s not just the ABCs of Christianity, it’s the A to Z. Jesus lived, died, and rose again to reconcile us to the Father and fill us with His Spirit. That message hasn’t changed, and it’s enough. The Gospel is what births the ekklesia and keeps it alive.
If you’re feeling the shaking, if you’ve been stirred but unsure what it means, if you’ve been dissatisfied with surface-level Christianity and you’re yearning for more, you’re not alone. You’re not being rebellious. You’re being called out. The Lord is gathering His remnant. He’s forming families around fire and truth. He’s shifting His Church from gatherings to governments, from programs to presence, from religion to relationship.
The ekklesia is rising.
Saints, this isn’t a moment; it’s a movement, and we are all a part of it. We weren’t born to warm a bunch of pews. We were born to carry presence, release authority, and walk in covenant with others who burn for the same. We were born to hear His voice, obey His leading, and see the Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. We are the ekklesia. We are the called-out ones.
This is our invitation. This is our activation. Let the Spirit awaken what religion tried to bury. Let the breath of God blow on the embers of our calling. The time is now. The shaking is here. The exodus has begun, and the ekklesia is rising.
Will we rise too?
