KINGDOM ARCHITECTS & MASTER BUILDERS

There is a difference between ARCHITECTS and MASTER BUILDERS 

The primary difference is that one represents the design concept (Maker), and the other represents the project developer (Builder)

MAKERS & BUILDERS see the end from the beginning, and they know how and where the schematic needs to be tweaked and / or corrected in order to move from concept to reality. 

ARCHITECTS & MASTER BUILDERS know the difference between renovation, restoration, and building new. Renovation involves mechanical removal and repair. Restoration involves original design and historical accuracy. Building NEW involves preparing the site for the foundation and building on the foundation according to specific plans/schematics or blueprints. 

Now, think about all of the above as it pertains to the house that Yahshua is building, which is His Father’s house. 

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and does them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain descended, and the rivers came, and the winds blew and fell against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. And everyone hearing these words of Mine and NOT doing them, may be compared to a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain descended, and the rivers came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.” Matthew 7:24‭-‬27 LSB

Now, when Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, Who do people say that the Son of Man is? And they answered, Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets. He said to them, But who do you [yourselves] say that I am? Simon Peter replied, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. Then Jesus answered him, Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are you, Simon Bar-Jonah. For flesh and blood [men] have not revealed this to you, but My Father Who is in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter [Greek, Petros–a large piece of rock], and on this rock [Greek, petra–a huge rock like Gibraltar] I will build My church, (Ekklesia) and the gates of Hades (the powers of the infernal region) shall not overpower it [or be strong to its detriment or hold out against it]. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind (declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth must be what is already bound in heaven; and whatever you loose (declare lawful) on earth must be what is already loosed in heaven. Matthew 16:13‭-‬19 AMPC

Yahshua said, "I will BUILD MY EKKLESIA upon the ROCK, and the gates of Hades will not be able to withstand it.

ROCK = The revelation of Messiah, which is the way of the Father's heart by Holy Spirit. In other words, Yahshua is building His house according to the Father's schematic. 

Be it known that I am against anything that does NOT represent the house that Yahshua is building, but I am NOT against any legitimate work for the cause of Messiah.

When the Father's gaze is upon us, He is looking for sons who represent His family, and He does not recognize, honor, or sanction our differences, distinctions, or delineations. Selah!

(Architect & Master Builder)

And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to fleshly men, as to infants in Christ. I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now, you are still not able, for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men? For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not mere men? What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave to each one. I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. Now he who plants and he who waters are one, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building. According to the grace of God, which was given to me, like a wise master builder, I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it. For no one can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 3:1‭-‬11 LSB

My journey with the Messiah started over fifty years ago now, but I still do not claim to be a master builder. However, I have come to see things through His eyes and understand from a heavenly vantage point. 

By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise, for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
Hebrews 11:8‭-‬10 LSB

Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness, for without it no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God, that no one be like a bitter root springing up and causing trouble, and through him many become defiled. Hebrews 12:14‭-‬15 NET

Whether we were system born and raised or wilderness born and raised, we need to locate those who are resonating on the same frequency and do life together. The Scripture does NOT teach forsake NOT going to church on Sunday. It says, forsake NOT what Yahweh is assembling...Selah!

But rather, you have come to Mount Zion, even to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to countless multitudes of angels in festal gathering, And to the church (assembly) of the Firstborn who are registered [as citizens] in heaven, and to the God Who is Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous (the redeemed in heaven) who have been made perfect, And to Jesus, the Mediator (Go-between, Agent) of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood which speaks [of mercy], a better and nobler and more gracious message than the blood of Abel [which cried out for vengeance] So see to it that you do not reject Him or refuse to listen to and heed Him Who is speaking [to you now]. For if they [the Israelites] did not escape when they refused to listen and heed Him Who warned and divinely instructed them [here] on earth [revealing with heavenly warnings His will], how much less shall we escape if we reject and turn our backs on Him Who cautions and admonishes [us] from heaven? Then [at Mount Sinai] His voice shook the earth, but now He has given a promise: Yet once more I will shake and make tremble not only the earth but also the [starry] heavens. Now this expression, Yet once more, indicates the final removal and transformation of all [that can be] shaken–that is, of that which has been created–in order that what cannot be shaken may remain and continue. Let us therefore, receiving a kingdom that is firm and stable and cannot be shaken, offer to God pleasing service and acceptable worship, with modesty and pious care and godly fear and awe; For our God [is indeed] a consuming fire. Hebrews 12:22‭-‬29 AMPC

Therefore you are no longer outsiders (exiles, migrants, and aliens, excluded from the rights of citizens), but you now share citizenship with the saints (God's own people, consecrated and set apart for Himself); and you belong to God's [own] household. You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus Himself, the chief Cornerstone. In Him the whole structure is joined (bound, welded) together harmoniously, and it continues to rise (grow, increase) into a holy temple in the Lord [a sanctuary dedicated, consecrated, and sacred to the presence of the Lord]. Ephesians 2:19‭-‬21 AMPC
