I am often asked if Christians should attend conferences, revivals, or renewals when they break out to be a part of the present moves of God. The answer is “yes” and “no.” If you wanted to be a part of what God did on the Day of Pentecost, you had to be in Jerusalem at the right time. The Lord had...

Last week we discussed the extraordinary anointing to mobilize that manifested so quickly on Governor Sarah Palin. Instantly it seemed that she went from being the obscure Governor of Alaska to one of the most interesting people in the world. The interest in her was not all favorable of course, but...

Since the theme for the Word for the Week is mobilizing, and we have many current examples of how this works, I would like to examine one in particular because of its obvious and powerful lessons—that is how the Republican Party mobilized when Governor Sarah Palin was chosen as John McCain’s...

As we covered last week, to know the time of our visitation is crucial and to miss it brings judgment. The Lord called the people who could not discern the signs of the times “hypocrites.” To not be devoted to understanding the times and what God is doing in them, reveals that we don't care much...

One of the key factors in mobilization is having a cause to mobilize to. Those who mobilize must have a reason to mobilize. The cause is crucial and so is the leadership who is calling for the mobilization. The cause must be right, but people also want to know that those who are leading the cause...

The next major factor we will cover that is essential for us to find and walk in our purpose the following: Beholding the glory of the Lord —Why is this important for us to walk in our purpose? We are changed into who we must be to fulfill our purposes as we are told in II Corinthians 3:18: But we...

Seeing our purpose can have the single most powerful impact on our own life after coming to know the Lord, being born again, and being baptized in His Spirit. All Christians are called to be witnesses, but we also have a calling in His body that is more specific than that. Every Christian is called...

Last week we ended our study by asking the questions about knowing our purposes, ministries, gifts, etc., which we have been given by God. If our Word for the Week readers are typical, only about 2 percent could answer all of these questions with “yes,” and less than 10 percent could answer any of...

We have been studying the important ability of mobilizing God’s people into the army they are called to be and how what is finished after they are gathered is just as important as gathering them. Presently, we have many who can mobilize large numbers of people, but few who have the vision, wisdom,...

Every Christian is called to ministry. Every Christian is given a measure of Christ’s nature to manifest as a part of His body, as is stated in Ephesians 4:11-16: And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the...
