The Key Ingredient
Jesus prayed and made a prophetic declaration for the disciples to all be one… “I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me” (John 17:21). His prayer was not just for his disciples, but all future disciples as well – that means us!
Jesus’s Message doesn’t change – he wants us to be One with him and each other, but how will that happen? Apostolic Leaders are called to raise up the Church and to do this we must have Jesus’s passion for the lost and the found.
We must have a deep love for God’s sheep – it is the key ingredient!
The church must get back to evangelism for the lost and the role of the pastor for the found. Pastors and teachers are called to disciple new Christians and keep discipling them…
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ (Eph. 4:13).
When people are trained to grow strong -
they can be trained for God’s Army and they can transform nations!
We are living in a time of increasing fear, crisis, conflict, and confusion. God is calling on his apostolic leaders to rise up and carry the message of the Gospel, the King and Kingdom. He is calling us to set the captives free of their dark and foolish thoughts. We will do this when –
We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ. (2 Cor. 10:4-5).
When one person experiences Christ’s salvation and transformation, then another and another – a nation is transformed! It’s happened many times before like during the Welsh Revival and the Almolonga, Guatemala Revival in the 1970s. The problem is when revivals lose their fire, God’s holiness, and corruption creeps in to snuff out God’s work.
Right now, there is a tremendous move to silence the church by the religious spirits of humanism, socialism, totalitarianism – these are the fastest growing religions in the world now! They mainly want to silence – SIN! They do not want to face the sins of a culture, sins of a people, sins of legislation, and all the unjust and immoral evils they are pushing and demanding.
It is an evil army that must be confronted by a Righteous Army! God wants his Apostolic Generals using our spiritual weapons of warfare and the fruit of the Spirit to supernaturally deliver people from the deception and evils of this present age.
We are alive for Such a Time as This! We need to be strengthened, equipped, and motivated to greater levels for this battle. There are many ways to come together such as local leader’s meetings and what is offered by ICAL national coalitions and at their annual conference
