ZIONWORKZ NEWS for MARCH 5th, 2026
February 22nd’s Zionworks meeting may have been one of the most heartening and Spirit-blessed in our nearly four years of attempting to yield our hearts and souls to Jesus’ directions for his kingdom on earth. It can be difficult. It’s very challenging and very rewarding for each of us to give up our own perspectives and expectations and yield ourselves to Christ’s way of understanding his will for us – seeing the gospel through His love and His eyes – seeing others through his heart – and letting go so he can rebuild us – again and again until we graduate to the eternal realm. Through this process we can experience, and do experience, some of the eternal realm while we’re here on earth. Yes, we had gathered in the meeting as touching one thing: “Dear Lord, grow our hearts and souls and please give us compassion as we learn and practice our individual stewardships and cooperative efforts to bring about the conditions among people for the existence of Zion. May we see and interact with others, with you as our teacher and director. May we see You in others without judgementalism. How shall we proceed in preparing for your place of safety and refuge for your innocent and beleaguered of the earth to flee to?”
Having entered that meeting time under this request, our testimonies were able to flow in expression of our observations of God’s mighty arm sweeping the earth and observations of the Kingdom on the earth existing in conditions and in moments, and in large and small organizations and endeavors where human hearts and Jesus’ love become one. It’s HOPEFUL.
Two weeks ago, a list of practical questions about Zion were presented in Zionworks News and also at the last two meetings. Before the list of questions was presented, people were already proposing answers. A couple answers were carefully presented in printed form, which we will read at the March 8th meeting. At the same time each attendee will have the opportunity to present answers or bear testimony. Again, the atmosphere that encourages candor, testimonies and insightful input is a spiritual blessing. When we discuss these vital questions, we are searching for the Lord’s answers and we expect that He will inspire answers during the discussion, if the answers are not already obvious. THEN, we will need to implement the directions. It will probably not be easy, but we know that the Lord does not give us any task that he has not already prepared the way for us to accomplish. So yes, this is a very serious undertaking. It is equally, very exciting to be aware that the spiritual and physical tasks of building up the Kingdom are at hand.
Observing that hundreds or more Christ-centered organizations around the world are working to bring about Kingdom-like living, and just as many are working and praying for the innocent and pure-in-heart to be released from oppression, torture and murder, we long for all of these efforts to be united in Christ’s love. These efforts are testimony that committed and Christ-driven doers-of-the-Word accomplish the moving of mountains. The instructions that the Lord has given in authentic scripture and authentic testimony, from the beginning and into these latter or last days, shines out all the more urgently. It is up to those that recognize these things to see that God’s word does not return to him void; and to see that each of our commissions are fulfilled while it is yet day.
Next Zionworks meeting: All people who long for or are curious about Christ’s kingdom on the earth are invited to share and be part of this effort this coming Sunday, March 8th in the basement of Central Branch, 919 S. Delaware, Independence at 2;00 PM. There will be adequate time after adjournment for further visiting. It is always a joy to assemble as brothers and sisters in Christ.
