A SHIFT TO MATURITY IN THE CHURCH
PAGE IRVINE, MARYVILLE, TN
Introduction from Christa Elisha:
I wanted to introduce you to a friend of mine who is one of the purest prophets I know, Page Irvine. I got to know her and her husband, Ben, when they came with my spiritual father, Mike Brewer, to my first deliverance conference. Not long after that, I spent a month living with them on an extended ministry trip in Australia and had the pleasure of seeing how faithful and authentic she is. She is a woman of prayer and power, which flows from the love she experiences in her deeply intimate relationship with Jesus. I feel that her words will bless the Body of Christ and the Elijah List audience. We are honored to have Page and Ben as elders in our Arise Kingdom Ministries Alliance.

A SHIFT TO MATURITY IN THE CHURCH
BY PAGE IRVINE
Recently, the Lord has been speaking to me about a shift and a change coming to the Body of Christ. But this is not a shift that is simply going to come upon us, it is going to come from within us. God is moving His people into a season of depth and maturity. He is calling us away from running from conference to conference seeking spiritual experiences, constantly looking for someone to lay hands on us or give us another prophetic word.
I saw a door open in the spirit, and I believe that door represents the Body of Christ returning to the ancient paths: prayer, study of the Word, intercession, obedience, and true communion with God. We are living in a digital age where we can constantly consume the "next new thing," but many times the things we are feeding on do not produce a healthy spiritual metabolism. A healthy "metabolism" in the Body of Christ is about how Believers receive, process, and properly use what God gives them. We have to move away from seeking spiritual "sugar highs" where we have an emotional encounter but leave unchanged, only to crash out emotionally later.
Recently while I was speaking, the Lord reminded me of times in my old life when I would go to a bar. I would sing, dance, and have a good time under the influence of alcohol, yet I would leave no different than when I came in. And honestly, if we are not careful, church can become the same thing. I love a good Holy Ghost-filled, charismatic meeting. I love the presence of God. But if we come in every week, shout, run, cry, feel emotional euphoria, and then leave unchanged only to repeat the cycle again next week, we reduce church to an emotional experience instead of transformation.
God is bringing His people somewhere. He is growing us. He is maturing us. But maturity requires intentionality. This is not about chasing the next revelation. It is about walking in the things Jesus already commissioned us to do.
