  4. “Church As We Know It Is Over!”Don Nori, Jan 3, 2005 • The charismatics, the Pentecostals and the revivalists are all crowding at the river Jordan. The Holy Spirit is urging, calling, leading them to cross, but few have the faith to cross because few have the faith to risk what they have built. Maybe that is the problem…we have built it and it is OURS. But those who do not cross the river do not change the world. • “Church as we know it is over! He is about to wrestle control of His own church from the carnal hands of insecure, angry, controlling and legalistic men and women, build His own church, just as He promised he would. • “Church as we know it is passing away…we have asked for wealth, when He wanted to give us nations.”
