God is preparing His church for the end times – because He “does not wish that any are lost, no, not one”. And He is leveraging everything to reach out to as many as possible with the knowledge and saving grace of our Lord and Savior – Jesus Christ.

The Virtual Church is yet another piece of the vision that God is now revealing a piece at a time – and not to just one person – but to many people at once - so that no one person may boast. By many – coming together and sharing their individual piece of the vision - will we soon see the whole picture God envisioned before the foundations of the earth were laid.

What MiracleMedia knows of its part of this vision is this – the Virtual Church will be God’s on-line method to touch the masses in ways not yet considered. Well, at least not considered by His church - collectively as a whole.

The world – and certainly how we in America think about the use of the Internet – is not in the manner of having church on it. Yet, Satan successfully leverages this technology to suck in the unbeliever and believer alike – in record numbers. I submit that Satan is way out in front in the use of this power technology tool. We, as blood bought believers, need to get serious – and I mean very serious - about leveraging this technology for good – for God. No doubt that God is way out ahead of any of His creation in all this thinking as He already has put the answer in place – but we need to recognize the potential – pull together our resources and challenge the forces of darkness and compete within their space to win souls for eternity.

MiracleMedia does see resistance from the Christian community – at least for a while. Nothing comes easy when you deal with man and his sin. Ultimately, like anything – believers will – albeit slowly – come to accept this means of communication. That’s why it’s important to begin the process now. For now – this should be considered totally ancillary to the institutional church, as it exists today. No doubt God has called us to fellowship with other believers in corporate worship. We were, indeed, created to be in worship to a Holy God. We need to encourage each other daily so we do not become hardened by sin. But we need to understand that we are “being destroyed for lack of knowledge!”

MiracleMedia sees each church – across the world – taking part in this vision. They all need to begin to embrace, plan and implement their own version of the Virtual Church. And with the integration of this idea - comes a wealth of content as each church produces programs viewable on the Internet via Streaming Media, text oriented, audio, and live and archived content files.

Maybe at first – the graphical representation of the Virtual Church follows along the familiar path of the physical institutional church - meaning – when one logs onto a Virtual Church site – they see a graphical representation not unlike a physical, modern day church.

Imagine entering through the front doors and proceeding to a directory in the lobby. You may choose to enter into the main worship center. There - you can view the various stages of the worship service – in a linear or non-linear fashion. You can go to Sunday school classes – all set up for different age groups and topics. You can attend Youth and/or senior programs. There would be support programs like “addictive behavior” - loss recovery classes – marriage enrichment classes – discipleship classes – etc.

You have Single’s ministries – Youth ministries – Music ministries, etc. The list is endless – but the opportunities are limitless. Most importantly, you can touch people that are not going to church and eventually bring them into corporate worship – and – into the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

That’s what this is really all about – the rebirth of the individual spirit. For God has told us – you must be born again to enter into the Kingdom of heaven. A thought just occurred to me – another portal in the Virtual Church – the portal to eternal life. Think of it – when one enters this area – they are led step by step – in various ways (video, text, audio) to salvation through the saving grace of Jesus Christ. A video of someone praying the sinner’s prayer could lead him or her to Christ - they can request additional information so that they can take the next step in their commitment of faith – and they can request prayer support to help them through the initial stages of their salvation experience.

And as the institutional church comes under greater and greater persecution … the Virtual Church will begin to play a larger and larger role in reaching out and touching those who need salvation!

MiracleMedia asks you join with me in prayer, insight and support in the development of God’s direction in this area of evangelism. If you know of others that share this vision – please have them contact us at MiracleMedia.

What a wonderful opportunity God is revealing to spread the word around the world. What a wonderful opportunity to change people’s lives. What a wonderful opportunity to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And what a wonderful opportunity to serve our God!
