THE REMNANT WHO REFUSED TO BEND

You’ve seen it all. You’ve been betrayed, bruised, burned, and banished. You’ve wept behind pulpits and under prayer shawls. You’ve been rejected by your church family and falsely labeled by the religious elite. You’ve watched the American church sell out to popularity, psychology, branding, and bureaucracy—while your soul screamed for fire, truth, and Glory.

You never bowed to Jezebel. You never kissed the golden calves. You kept your oil, even when others mocked you for it.

THE REMNANT — The Ones Who Never Bowed

You are the Remnant. And now, the call has come:

Lazarus, come forth.

But this time, it’s not just about being resurrected. This time, it’s about taking your place in a righteous resistance to the darkness that has paralyzed the Church. The Bride is in chains. Babylon has dressed itself as “revival.” And the prophets of compromise are dancing while the temple burns.

“Yet I will leave seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal…” 1 Kings 19:18

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:5

Let’s make this crystal clear:

The Remnant are not better than anyone—they’re just not buying the lie. They are the Davids who were mocked by Saul but still ran to the giant. They are the Annas who never left the temple, even when the services were dead. They are the Noahs who built while being ridiculed. They are the Marys who chose to sit at Jesus' feet instead of playing church politics in the kitchen. They are the Elijahs who cried out “It is enough, LORD!” but still got up and stood alone on Mount Carmel.

The Remnant are:

The widowed intercessor on her knees at 5am crying for revival in her town.
The teenage worshipper who won’t compromise to fit in with her youth group.
The 60-year-old former pastor who was pushed out for preaching repentance and still opens his home for discipleship every week.
The father who left a mega-church job and pay to shepherd his family in truth.
The woman who walks her neighborhood every morning, declaring Scripture and rebuking demonic strongholds with tears in her eyes.
The Sunday School teacher who said, “If I can’t teach truth, I won’t teach at all.”

The Remnant is YOU. You are the ones who still cry when you hear His Name. You are the ones who fast when no one asks you to. You are the ones who burn with the desire to see the Church holy again. You are the ones who grieve when the Word of God is watered down to grow attendance. You are the ones Heaven is waiting for.

“And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.” Revelation 12:11

THE BATTLE CRY — WE NEED YOU TO RISE AND NEVER GO BACK

The time for hiding is over. The season of endurance is complete. The Lord is sounding the trumpet. The Kingdom needs builders, not watchers. Leaders, not influencers. Prophets, not pretenders. And the Remnant—YOU—are being summoned to the front.

We are not looking for spectators. This is a warfare summons. Your obedience, your intercession, your prophetic clarity, and your holy rage against compromise—it’s all needed now. This is the moment when you stop weeping behind closed doors and start warring in public places.

You are being called to open your mouth, speak truth, lead boldly, and rebuild ruins. You don’t need a microphone—you have a mantle–use it. You don’t need a budget—you carry fire.

The lukewarm will not save the Church. The big ego pastors will not save the Church. The compromised elder boards will not save the Church.

But the Remnant?

If you rise—we win.

If you pray—we break through.

If you unify—we dismantle Babylon in a day.

So roll up your sleeves. Lace up your boots. Lay down your comfort. Raise your hands and roar like the lion tribe you were born from.

This is not a revival meeting. This is a rescue mission.

“Blow a trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm on My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the LORD is coming…” Joel 2:1

“Your people will volunteer freely on the day of Your power…” Psalm 110:3

“They will rebuild the ancient ruins, raise up the former devastations; and they will repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations.” Isaiah 61:4

THE ASSOCIATE PASTORS — THE FINAL TURNING POINT

Now let’s talk to the Associate Pastors.

You know who you are. You’ve been sitting in the second chair, biting your tongue, grieving in silence, secretly wondering how long you can keep going. You’ve seen the pride. You’ve watched the manipulation. You’ve heard the whispered prayers in staff meetings and wondered, “Where is Jesus in all this?”

You didn’t sign up for politics. You didn’t dream of branding. You didn’t feel called to build platforms or manage optics. You said yes to the call of God because you love the Word, love people, and burn for the presence of Jesus.

But somewhere along the way, your passion was shelved in exchange for loyalty to a broken hierarchy.

Here’s the twist: you are not disqualified for having questions. You are being positioned for the breakthrough.

You are the bridge between the old wineskin and the new. You’ve seen both sides. You’ve stood in the gap. And now you must decide:

Will you stay loyal to a Babylonian system… or will you rise with the Remnant?

You don’t need to cause division. You don’t need to publicly shame anyone. But you DO need to say NO to compromise, NO to spiritual abuse, and YES to the voice of Jesus, even if it means walking away.

The next reformation may not be led by the big names on the stage—it may be ignited by the faithful, humble, overlooked associate pastors who finally say, “Enough is enough. I’m building something better. I’m following the King.”

“And who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time as this?” Esther 4:14

“I will give you shepherds after My own heart, who will feed you knowledge and understanding.” Jeremiah 3:15

GATHER THE REMNANT — THE TIME AND PLACE IS NOW

This is your summons, Remnant. This is your trumpet blast.

No more excuses. No more hiding in the cave, whispering prophecies into the wind. It’s time to step forward and assemble.

We need you in the room. We need your voice, your vision, your prayer-soaked spirit. We need your stories, your scars, your strategy.

May 2025. St. George, Utah. A Kingdom Banquet is being prepared—not for celebrities, not for show, but for the Remnant.

The ones who stayed faithful. The ones who stayed holy. The ones who still burn.

We will weep. We will war. We will worship. We will listen to Jesus. And from that table, we will launch something that cannot be stopped—a pure, decentralized, Spirit-led uprising of holiness, fire, and truth.

The system is collapsing. Good. Let it fall. Drain the Swamp. Now, let the Bride arise.

“Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children... Let the priests, the LORD’s ministers, weep between the porch and the altar…” Joel 2:16–17

“Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, and the LORD listened and heard…” Malachi 3:16

“And they will be Mine,” says the LORD of armies, “on the day that I prepare My own possession…” Malachi 3:17

ASK THE KING, THEN LIGHT THE FIRE

This is it. The moment the silence breaks. The second the veil lifts. The point where the Remnant moves from hidden to heralds.

We’ve heard the cry. We’ve answered the trumpet. Now it’s time to look into the eyes of our King and ask:

“Jesus, what do You want me to do?”

Do not ask what your old denomination wants. Do not ask what your church staff thinks. Do not ask what your social media followers expect. Ask the One whose eyes burn with fire.

Maybe He’ll say:

“Open your home to the ones who are ready.”
“Call the scattered saints in your city together and disciple them.”
“Write the truth that your old pastor censored.”
“Teach the Word again. Preach the cross again. Make disciples again.”
“Be in St. George in May. I’ll meet you there.”

Whatever He says—do it.

This is not about building a better church brand. This is about preparing the Bride of Christ.

It’s about flipping the tables one last time. It’s about declaring the return of the King.

Remnant Lazarus — the grave is open. The tomb is behind you. Now rise. Burn. Build. And don’t look back.
