Tonight and Last Night I watched over God TV, the most incredible miracle services I’ve ever seen.

The deaf heard, terminal Cancers died, tumors shrank, kidney and lungs were recreated, Shattered backs and all types of other bones were recreated, metal plates, pins, screws, and even rods disappeared. Scars disappeared, and much much more. I am truly amazed by the miracle realm in those meetings. But what amazed me maybe even more so, was the word of knowledge display I saw tonight. Over 20 accurate specific words of knowledge were given out back to back to back, dozens of miracles broke out over cell phones, and even a woman who was clinically dead for 30 minutes was raised from the dead via the web cast. I have not heard of anything like this, unless when speaking about The Voice of Healing Revivals. Todd also said that the gifts that rested on William Brahnam’s life and A.A Allen’s life are being released over people and ministries in these meetings. I’m not usually into all that hype (I’m lying, I am) but I believe both gifts were clearly demonstrated these last few days. May the church yes and amen it, and Go Get Some.

A little while back (about 3 weeks ago), Todd Bentley came out from Canada to Florida to hold a series of meetings. Me being hungry for any type of anointing, got together with my mom and one of my friends and headed out into a 3 to 4 hour drive towards the church he was at, Lakeland; Ignited Church. The first night , he but mentioned a prophecy he received about Florida, from where he was at before in New Zealand by a pastor named Rob Deluca. He went on to say that he receives 100’s of prophecies a year, and very few of them are actually God, but that as soon as he heard this one, as glamorous as it was , he knew it was God speaking. The prophecy is now released in the elijahlist : http://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word/6375

That  first night the Lord spoke to me about some personal issues, and I felt like I had got what I came for. Little did I know what was about to explode in the atmosphere the very next night. The next night came around, which was when the incredible revival anointing that is now there first hit the place, the atmosphere was electric, the miracles were unbelievable, up to that point that had had to be the best church meeting( corporately) I had ever been to. We were supposed to leave the next day, but me and my friend decided to stay, because of the anointing that was there. That same night was the night that Todd Bentley announced the extension of the meetings, released the whole (Florida Revival) prophecy, and spoke about an angelic visitation he had by the angel called Winds of Change. I was thrilled, excited and whacked all at the same time. I stayed for as many nights as I could, and came back many more times. The 4 day conference is now going into its fourth week of revival, he also announced that revival would break out in all surrounding regions (Palm Beach County). The Mission will never be the same.

(John 14:16) Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life”

-Too many people in the church today especially teachers and pastors think and claim that they have what they call the “true doctrine” . Truth is a person, and that person is Jesus! 

John 16:13 
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.

-The reason why we have so many different denominations and have different interpretations of The Bible in the church today, is because we are not living life led by The Spirit of Truth . We ( as a church today) are not reading the word of God by the Spirit of Truth, but we are reading it through our natural intellect and thus getting a million interpretations witch leads the church into division. But the Lord gave us the Spirit of Truth which was given to us to bring unity to the church. He was given to us to lead us to the person of Jesus Christ every time. Because Jesus is the absolute and only truth.

Once we put aside the knowledge ( witch puffs us up), and embrace truth. The truth shall set us free (John 8:32). Because us as the church today need to enter into greater realms of freedom. As we become rooted and grounded in truth ( 2 peter 1:12), we will enter into realms of freedom we have never imagined. Many of us don’t even know we’re bound until we taste freedom. And true freedom can only come as we humble ourselves and receive with meekness the word of truth implanted in us by the Spirit of Truth, witch can save our souls.

- I’m tired of hearing people today say that no one can have the whole truth, so that the church wont get prideful or some other lame excuse like that.  HUH? so the Lord Jesus Christ who is the truth, came to earth died on a cross, gave us His Holy Spirit of Truth to live in us, so that he can purposely have us believe false doctrine in order to keep us from thinking we’re better than another denomination?BLASPHEMY… The first century Apostles didn’t seem to have a problem knowing their doctrine, naming the fact THEY WROTE IT!  I’m not saying I have the complete truth, but as I embrace the Holy Spirit of truth, slowly but surely he breaks off every lie and half truth, I have instated in ignorance, religion, or just plain pride.

pray this with me now:
 

O wonderful Spirit of Truth, I invite you to posses my life, lead me to Jesus who is the truth. I must have greater freedom, break away all mindsets and doctrines I have adopted in ignorance, and give me the truth that you hear from the Father instead, I embrace you. Root, ground and establish me in your absolute truth in name of Jesus, Amen…… 

 

Throughout the Bible, there are many heroes of the faith. From Genesis all the way until Revelations, we are challenged by the diverse accounts of men and women who were just like us “in the flesh”, but who did amazing things through the Spirit. Specifically in the New Testament (since we are NT Christians) we are all familiar with the Apostle Paul(who wrote most of the book) and the 12 Apostles who walked with the Lord. Who after his departure did great exploits by partnering with heaven through the Holy Ghost. Allot of us Christians tend to place these men and women on pedestals(with good reason) crediting them to having a sovereign plan of God on their lives, making us have a hard time comparing ourselves with them(despite all the sermons). But what I will attempt to point out in these next few posts, are the ones who were only slightly acknowledged and named  in the New Testament, but whom’s historical success are undeniable. Hopefully this will encourage us to take our Christianity to the next level by showing us the regularity of amazing things that occurred by common NT believers like you and I.

Saint Antipas: The inhabitants of Pergamum dwelt in the darkness of idolatry and in the depths of impurity. They were slaves to their passions, slanderers, bullies, incestuous. He who would seize and kill a Christian was regarded as good and just. The whole of their idolatrous faith consisted of soothsaying, the interpretation of dreams, the services of demons and the extreme excesses of debauchery. Among these slaves of Satan, dwelt Antipas “as a light in the midst of darkness, as a rose among thorns, as gold in mud.” In terror of Antipas, as of fire, the demons appeared to the pagan priests in their dreams and told them that their great fear of Antipas was driving them from the city. The priests stirred up the multitude and they began to torment Antipas, pressing him to deny Christ and worship idols. Antipas said to them, “Then your so-called gods and lords of the universe are afraid of me, a mortal man, and have to flee the city, why do you not learn from this that your faith is in vain?” The saint spoke further with them of the Christian faith as the only true and saving faith, but the people became incensed like wild beasts and dragged the aged Antipas before the temple of Artemis, where an ox cast in bronze stood. They heated the ox and threw the servant of God inside. St. Antipas, inside the red-hot ox, glorified God with thanksgiving. Antipas prayed for his flock and for the whole world, until his soul parted from his exhausted body and went to join the angels and the rest of the saints in the Kingdom of Christ. He was crowned with unfading glory in the year 92.   Antipas, who was but one man stood with such presence of God, in truth and faithfulness. That he by himself (through the Spirit) posed a threat to Satan himself (revelations 2:13), holding the example as one of the greatest Unknowns of the Bible. Mentioned by the Resurrected Christ himself in the Book of Revelations (what honor) in the passage below.  

(Revelation 2:13)“‘I know where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. Yet you hold fast my name, and you did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.

Sometimes we give up certaing things here and there for God. We lose some friends, or lose a position, or delete some downloaded pirated stuff we had. And its almost like God owes us one now!! The Apostle’s who walked with Jesus, and traveled throughout the ancient world, preaching the gospel of the kingdom with accompanying signs and wonders, and planting churches all died martyrs’ deaths.  Phillip was scourged, thrown in prison, and crucified in Phrygia in a.d. 54.  Andrew, Jude, Bartholomew, Simon, and Peter were crucified as well.  Peter historically asked to be crucified upside down, as he felt unworthy to die in the same manner as the Lord.  Peter was warned ahead of time that his persecutors were after him.  But as he was leaving the city gate of Rome, he saw the Lord in a vision Peter asked,”Lord, where do you go?” To which the Lord replied,”I have come again to be crucified.”  Peter understood by this that it was his own appointed time, and he went willingly back into the city.  Matthew is believed to have traveled to Parthia, Persia, Media, Syria, then Ethiopia, where he was speared with a halberd in a.d. 60.  James the brother of Jesus was supposedly thrown from a battlement on the temple.  Stoned by the Jews, and his brains dashed out.  Like Bartholomew, Thomas took the gospel all the way to India, where he was speared.  Several were beheaded, including Paul, who was put to death more than once; James the brother of John; and Matthias, who replaced Judas, was stoned and beheaded in Jerusalem.  Mark went to Libya and Egypt among his travels.  In Alexandria he was dragged through the streets and his body burned.  Luke was hanged on an olive tree by Greek priests.  John was boiled in oil in a botched execution, but did not die, but believed to have later perished in “The Isle of Patmos”. ‘

I know the lifestyle alone, of the Apostles of the first century challenges every believer who believes the bible. But let their “death style” challenge us also in a whole new way. Cout the cost, embrace his death, to gain his life.

(Phillipians 3:7-8) But whatever gain I had,I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ.

“The Sons of Issachar were anointed to discern the seasons and times, like every other season, all seasons come to an end. We can’t drag on a move of God, when God is finished with its purpose, we’re moving with the cloud. But glory be to God for what he has done and for what is to come.”

History

When me, my brother, and my friend(who lived with us) first got saved , we were really hungry for God, and we felt like we needed to have a night that we pressed in to God together, and so we decided to have it on tuesday nights(since that was one of the only days we didn’t go to church) at 10 pm (since we worked). For the first  2 weeks we gathered together and it was pretty awesome, the Lord showed up and touched us as we worshiped him. By the third week there were at least 5 to 10 people that also got saved around the same time that we did, who wanted to join up with us to seek God. That week the Lord showed up mightily and we had people get “Wacked” by the Holy Ghost for the very first time, and also saw people get baptized in the Holy Ghost gloriously. Once that hapenned it jus became the spot to go every tuesday night to get the anointing. We saw many salvations, and irrevocable seeds planted. It was just a awesome time. The lord is good for he decided to use “just saved ex drug abusing gang members (Us)”, to see people get saved, delivered and wacked by the Holy Ghost. In a Hot(no AC), non spacious cluttered garage.

Meanwhile, Carl (who today is my mentor), was having a Holy Spirit believer’s class on friday night. Little did we know that he felt called to our age group, and also to our social status. He saw that the Lord was using our “tuesday night group” to save the lost, and he was also seeing a lot fruit(gifting activations, the fire of God etc..) in his class, so he was happy.  Until one friday night he had this life changing vision.

The Birth

So shortly after this, We decided to sort of “ join our groups”. Carl started to minister at our group, and he also started mentoring me and my brother. The plan was to see how many people we could see saved, delivered, and filled with His Spirit by the end of the summer. So during that summer we saw a harvest. We moved from the garage, into the patio, and from the patio into the living room. We had water baptisms, and we also saw many salvations and radical deliverances. and then finally at the end of the summer we had our official “The Mission Service”. We packed out the place, and we saw aproximately 100 to 130 people show up, at least 30 to 50, who had never been to that church. From that the Lord took it a step further , and we planted a church in Del Ray that started from that simple move of God. The story is to be continued……

Highlights

- One night we packed in 57 people into my living room. That night we saw a woman with the spirit of death on her and also a man addicted to crack get touched by God.

- One night, We had a real heavy set guy come in and the shortly after, he left. Later we found out he was planning to kill us all , so to not do it he left. Next week he came in and got powerfully delivered.

-One night on the patio, we had Carl get a word of knowledge, that a neighbor was listening in to the service. So he did what any regular preacher would do. He led the neighbor to Christ thru the bushes. 

- We saw a girl that was a mormon on her knees crying under the heavy presence of the holy ghost.

-At the mission service we saw a guy who came in to “turn this fake preacher out”, fall under the power for over 20 minutes, screaming his apologies to Jesus.

and many more to come…..

The Lord has been speaking to me about Evangelism! Thru impressions(divine downloads), my studies, and also personal experience!

 1. One thing the Lord has shown me is that Evangelism is about effectiveness(part 2)!

We Christians, know that we must share our faith with our friends and random hellbound people we each encounter day by day. Many of us probably have also been thru one of those services, where the Evangelist on stage takes us into a guilt trip to hell and back. Tough that may stir someone up to evangelize, it brings about sloppy programmed evangelism, since it becomes a self centered issue based on silencing condemnation! With that motive in heart, the person evangelizing could care less if anyone actually gets saved, and is more worried about themselves displaying some type of twisted faithfullness towards God.  

Evangelism centers around one thing: Effectiveness! Effectiveness to me is best defined by the anointing that rested upon The Prophet Samuel:  

(1 Samuel 3:19) “The LORD was with Samuel as he grew up, and he let none of his words fall to the ground.”

Effective evangelism might not be that every person you ever preach to gets saved. But how would you like it if every person you ever preach to gets one significant step closer to getting saved?

(1 corithians 3:6) I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.

I believe God wants raise a company of Evangelists with words that will never fall to the ground! With a prophetic voice, to speak words that have creative power to breakthru the spirually deaf, and to reveal Jesus to the spiritually blind.                                                       If thats you then pray this with me!

- Lord start with me, give me a selfless heart of love to see souls get saved, Lord release the anointing that was upon Samuel The Prophet, that I also may speak words that have power to change hearts, make me a prophet to the lost, give me a prophetic voice with an anointing to bring about change in people’s hearts. I want to be a part of the company of effective evangelists your raising up. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

The Lord has been speaking to me about Evangelism! Thru impressions(divine downloads), my studies, and also personal experience!

1. One thing the Lord has shown me is that Evangelism is about effectiveness(part 1)! 

Evangelism is not about your personal ”soulwinning record” , and how many people you can persuade into saying a religious prayer after you, so you can go home and tally up how many diamonds you have up in heaven, or go up in stage at your church and receive a gold plaque and a handclap. What I see for The Mission is true conversions taking place (John 15:16 “fruit that lasts”), conversions marked by the anointing of God. The Bible says (Roms 10:9 “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”) I’m talking about people crying out confessions to God, as soon as the anoiting explodes belief into their hearts. Once the prophetic rhema word of God powerfully creates belief, by imparting the destiny of God over their lives. Salvation will marry their God given purpose, as it bubbles out as one, thru the tears of the recently found.  HALLELUIAH, LET IT BE LORD!

I’m Involved in a ministry called The Mission(www.themissionsouthflorida.com) , our general vision is to bring revival to this generation, specifically to the urban community, but in reality anyone who wants it can get it (Fyah). Our first church plant is in Del Ray and I’ve been placed with the responsibility of being the head of the outreach, this responsibility that was surprisingly given to me sent me in a quest to learn the art of witnessing, one I’m in the early stages of. Now more than ever i realize that evangelism is a life style, i believe it so for all christians , i just happen to have a title.

A man once said:
“evangelize everyday,at all times, in all places ,and when necessary use words”

At the mission we believe that evangelizm is the key to church growth, since we’re not looking to see “kingdom transfer” or looking for church swappers  for example: a family moves from one church to another church because the worship is dry.tho we welcome those that are  anointing lacked. Our main goal is Kingdom growth, to reach the unreached, and touch the untouched.

“Church growth is not determined by a church’s seating capacity, but by their sending capacity” -Sean Smith

For some reason the church of today forgot to read the end chapter of the gospels of Mathew and Mark ,and apparently they never read the book of Acts!  the first century revival that broke out in pentecost when the Holy Spirit decided to move in, was only fueled by the passion in the hearts of the apostles and the body as a whole, going out and preaching with signs and wonders. The Mission believes The Great Comission and we don’t care who knows it. The eternities of Billions of souls has been laid upon the shoulders of the church of today! and we think its okay to go to church every week and shake and roll around in the ground, and laugh at each other, and never doing nothing?while we’re the only thing standing in between the world and hell? BLASPHEMY

The mission lives and breathes this one cry
REVIVAL AT ANY COST!
