Plight of the Concords
Hello, my friends!
This morning, I would like to explore a couple of words the Lord has been saying to me on repeat for many years. The first is “worm mouldings,” and the second is “plight of the concords.” The term “worm mouldings” started about 15 years ago and was really prominent in the first 5 years but has become less frequent over time, occurring just now and then. The phrase “plight of the concords,” which I thought for many years was “flight of the concords,” started about 10 years ago and has re-emerged in recent months. Well, both have, so my expectation is that both these words are being brought to prevalence in this coming season, whatever that looks like.
Worm mouldings (castings), often referred to as vermicast, are a type of organic fertilizer that is the byproduct of earthworm digestion. As earthworms consume and process organic matter, they produce castings that are rich in nutrients and beneficial microbes. These castings help improve soil structure, increase water retention, and provide plants with essential minerals for healthy growth. Think of them as a natural, nutrient-packed boost for your garden's soil!
Concord is a state of peaceful agreement, like things can concord together in harmony with each other. And plight, well, it sounds a bit negative, but hello, being a witness for the truth is often a hard journey, just ask the disciples and apostles, especially Stephen—an unpleasant condition, especially a serious, sad, or difficult one.
So, when I look at all this together, and when I say look, I look at it from the standpoint of being an ambassador for the gospel and the pure grace message—a message of hope that is not of ourselves but fully from God, void of dead works, just the outworking of His life, purpose, and message of truth that was born in us at the cross within our new creation spirit. So again, when I look at these words or phrases together, I see the worm mouldings as grace saints with the important message of the gospel within them, and they are spiritual fertilizer. They are equipped to help propagate and provide for good ground, good ground being the pure gospel, His wonderful freeing truth.
And the concords are also the grace saints, who concord together and are in harmony with the Father and His message, as well as with their fellow grace saints. And you might ask why I say grace saints; well, grace saints are saints that have had a revelation of God's grace, unlike many brothers and sisters who have not and still live under the condemnation of the law. They still are trying to measure up to God and live by self-merit and not from the very merit of Jesus, who so wonderfully finished His work on earth, giving us absolute freedom—a freedom that does not have any misconceptions in it, does not have a shortfall that needs to be made up somehow.
I'm a bit of a grace activist. I try not to do it often, but sometimes the Lord just lets me loose, and I call out wrong doctrine, apostasy, legalistic teaching, or religious condemnation. Part of the prophetic gifting I have is a “Watchman Gift,” and this is not a self-proclaimed thing. The Lord has mentioned it to me a bunch of times in prayer over the years, so I did a scant amount of research on it a few years back. In the Bible, a watchman is a figure of spiritual significance, often associated with prophets who are tasked with the responsibility of vigilance and warning. Prophetic watchmen are appointed by God to observe and alert others to spiritual dangers and moral decay, calling for repentance and righteousness. They stand as sentinels, guarding against threats to the community's faith and well-being while also proclaiming God's divine message. Sounds a bit epic, doesn't it?
So here I am, trying to live a meek and humble life, but God has put this gift in me, and when He presses the button on it, out comes a whole mini sermon on what grace is and what it's not. To be honest with you, I don't really enjoy that part of my prophetic posting, as it often has some blowback, and I get called a church basher, etc., but I serve the Lord foremost before I tickle the fancies of men. God all the way, my friends. A whole bunch of times, the Lord has called me a prophet, and I have no clue what that means as an office in New Testament times, but I am honoured and privileged to have been given such an important and wonderful work to do on this earth, even though it's hard at times.
If anyone has been reading my blogs, I have talked much about all the struggles I've had in life, and there will be more to explain in coming writings, but it is just so God to put crazy gifts inside of a really underwhelming person like me. I'm not real special, but all that counts is that God sees me as special, and my friends and family see bits and pieces of it.
I really think we are in the crazy finale of this church age, and the “worm mouldings” and the “concords” are going to be the shining lights as the church realises their doctrines are man-made, and their hope was in their buildings and in their dead works, and broken promises. Often end-timers will say, “Are you ready?” like, “Make sure your act is clean.” It's just rubbish; we were made clean at the cross. But do you know how we need to prepare for these end times and the coming of our Lord and all the horror that will fill this earth in the meantime? Well, find His rest, find His peace, find His tranquillity, and there you will find the solace you have been looking for all your life. That is where all the gold is, the precious metals, and the precious stones, not the wood, hay, and stubble that will be burned up in the end.
Be blessed today, my friends. If you are not yet a grace saint, all I can recommend to you is to google Ken Legg, a wonderful man of God here in Australia. He is the teller of truth you have been looking for. Watch everything you can find of his and find the peace you were grafted into, so that you too can be a grace saint, a saint that shares the pure and true gospel. And I say that with the caveat that I am not right about everything. I can be wrong, and will be wrong, and I'm sure I will, like many, have a little egg on my face when I go home because we can't possibly get everything right. But we can try at least to open our hearts and accept revelation upon revelation of just how wonderful our Jesus is and just how satisfyingly complete His finished work actually is. Be blessed upon blessed today my friends; let His kingdom and peace reign in your hearts.
