Church – Jesus said, “I will build my Church.” And we, as the ekklesia, are on assignment.

ENGAGE the CULTURE of the world & STAND OUT, changing the culture to match the culture of JESUS, the Kingdom of Heaven.

13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”

14 So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

Matthew 16:13 – 19

You are . . .

CREATED to be in relationship with God, which requires communication – speaking with Him and hearing from Him.

QUALIFIED by Holy Spirit to win the lost. Holy Spirit is our advantage, and if we start taking advantage of our advantage, then we will see Jesus get His full reward.

LOVED by God because He loves you, because He loves you, because He loves you.

YouVersion Notes

God came up with a plan to come down to Moses, because there was no plan to go up to Him. Jesus came so we can be immersed in the rock, so that the glory of God not only be with us, but also NOW be IN us. The same glory that was going to kill Moses – NOW can live in YOU.

22 So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by. 23 Then I will take away My hand, and you shall see My back; but My face shall not be seen.” Exodus 33:22-23 NKJV

 

The disciples began to argue and became “preoccupied” with who would be the greatest among them.

JESUS SEES ALL THIS.
HE TAKES A CHILD.
HE SETS THE CHILD IN THE MIDDLE OF THEM
BEFORE HE SPEAKS.

The Lord is really serious about how we lead children, and about the example that we are to them. He wants them trained up in THE WAY. We must not dismiss the little ones.

It’s time to train like never before. The days of lethargy and apathy in my church are over.
It’s time to lay aside every weight that is hindering and slowing you down.
It’s time to train, and train hard.
It’s time to arise from your slumber.
It’s time to come out of hiding.

It’s time. Do not delay. Fix your eyes upon me, and do not be moved. Set your face like flint. Behold, your King, the King of Glory, the Light of the World, the Lamb of God. It’s time for your light to shine and for love to be poured out.

It’s time to walk in power and might, to walk in Victory with your beloved your King. Do not delay.

It’s time to focus. Do not be distracted by the world with all of its distractions and lists. Lives are at stake,. Remember who you are and why you are here. It’s not to fit in. It’s to stand out!

Kings will come to the light of my glory, shining through you.

It’s time! It’s time! It’s time! The hour is late. The day is near. You must be ready. You must be equipped and fully trained for the battle ahead. It’s time to strap on your boots, suit up, get your armor on and be hidden no longer. The true Sons & Daughters of the Kingdom will arise. It’s time to arise and shine!

GOD DOES NOT DEAL IN ELITISM!
GOD BREAKS THE BARRIERS!

Sons & Daughters (GENDER)
Old Men & Young Men (AGE)
Servants & Handmaidens (CLASS)
I will pour out my Spirit on them ALL.

God systematically disrupted, dealt with and tore away every form of idol and barrier that man would lift up to qualify a person to be a part of His Kingdom, His Priesthood.

The truth of the Priesthood of the Believer has been the most assaulted truth in the Body of Christ. Unworthiness is one of the greatest stumbling blocks keeping us from everything that God has for us. BUT God goes down and seeks the lowly.

Joel 2:28 “And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. 29 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days.

Brian Starley’s (Global Awakening) deepest conviction is to make room for the presence of God, and to honor what He’s doing above all else. He desires to train others to abide in the place of deep intimacy with the Holy Spirit, and to equip the church for the operation of signs and wonders, in order that we may declare the fullness of the gospel with word and power. He began ministering at 15 years of age, following a supernatural encounter with Jesus which marked his life.
