The vehicle that carries our supernatural ministry is love, honor, patience and virtues. When we start prophesying things that bring fear, we are not displaying the kingdom of God. Positive prophecy builds up the church and brings the body into a place of encouragement. God wants to do something amazing in our day.
Passionate people are given incredible places of influence. Influence is not for the purpose of control, but for the purpose of serving others better. It is important to keep influence pure and be inviting, not imposing. In the kingdom we bring influence by what we say and how we live our lives. The Lord is preparing us for another level of influence.
Through stories, prophetic words, anointing and impartation Bobby Conner shares his heart on God's favor. As a church we must be prepared to go to a new level of favor. As we prepare for an outpouring of God's Spirit we will bring heaven to earth so we can impact nations of this world.
Bill shares a revelatory word study on "Love suffers long" from I Corinthians 13:4. In this verse, the word patient is passive and describes something that happens to you. Patience means giving up my life to God no matter what happens.
The Father's love is extravagant! A Father who sacrifices His Son will provide everything you need. The Lord is releasing a spirit of boldness over us to share the extravagant love he has freely given. "Freely you have received, freely give. And as you go, say 'The kingdom of God is upon me.'"
As deep calls unto deep, so must we get alone with God and cry out for our country, America. Hunger and desperation leads us to a deeper place with the Lord. No longer will we say that revival is coming, revival is here.
Eric shares stories of visitations he has had where the Presence of the Lord changed his life. Visitations are not something we work for or strive, it is something we expect. Position your heart towards Him and expect powerful visitations of His Presence.
In biblical times, labor and work were an expression of worship to God. The Lord wants us to re-evaluate the purpose of labor and capture its divine purpose. Un-employment is an attempt of the enemy to rob mankind of their worship to God. We will generously give to the Kingdom, to the poor, to missions, and watch as the economy of our region is changed.
Jesus is the culture maker. Culture comes from leadership. Culture self-regulates. A revival gives permission to bring love into culture. Where worshippers understand how much they are loved, and have the opportunity to give love back to their community. As revivalists we bring a culture of love. We bring the kingdom of heaven into the places we live and work.
In Philippians 1:18 Paul says "But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice." Bill shares about a great lesson he learned from his father, that though not all believers will agree on certain theological issues, we should still rejoice that Christ is preached. It is important to remember that Christ being preached is a place of common ground and a reason to rejoice!
