  A personal message from the desk of Ron Gann...

  My prayer for Leaders and those who aspire to be Leaders:
  May we all stand in agreement with this prayer of Paul, an Ambassador of Christ,
  and receive it with fullness and grace...

  That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the all glorious Father, may confer on you the spiritual gifts
  of wisdom and vision, with the knowledge of Him that they bring. 

  I pray that your inward eyes may be enlightened, so that you may know what is the hope to which
  He calls you.

  How rich and glorious is the share He offers you among His people in their inheritance, and how
  vast are the resources of His power
open to us who have faith...  
Ephesians 1:17-19 Revised English Bible

God gave the Great Commission to the Church!
  In April 1991, Heart of God Ministries International was initiated by
  an open vision from the Holy Spirit.  The ministry call was confirmed
  by
the prophetic word of knowledge and released through Elder recognition
  by the laying on of hands.  (There was demonstration of the Holy Spirit and His ordination).

  The commission was evangelistic in principle to minister the uncompromised Gospel message
  of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
  For ten years, we labored in the stewardship and counsel of other Elders.
  Upon later prophetic vision and commission,  Heart of God Ministries International
  has become a ministry in fellowship of ministries with global outreach to the Body of Christ.
=======================================

Word of Knowledge

  In 1979, a prophetic Word of Knowledge delivered through Charles Capps
in Anaheim, California
  was planted in my heart and spirit.  This message remains alive and viable today! 

  Even though it has been 37 years since this "seed" was planted in my heart, my expectation still
  remains strong to experience God's
fulfillment!  Today, we are at the threshold of manifestation
  and soon to experience this precious prophetic declaration in our lives:

 
"I said in My Word that I would make the Jews jealous.  In these days there will come forth
   manifestations of financial success in the lives of men that set themselves to be obedient to
   My Word and give Me what I say to give.  They will be so successful in areas until men will
   ask them, "How is it that this came to pass?
  How is it so that it came to pass in a short time? 
   And they will say, 'Because we were obedient to the Word.' 


   They will open and show to them the Word of God.  Men will rise and began to enter into it,
   and so will they go, and it will be so through these means of the hundredfold return that
   multitudes throughout the nations of the world shall hear and see and say,
   'The times are failing and our ways in the days past have failed and we are not able to make it. 
   We hear of the things that are strange to our ears, but tell us and teach us of these ways.'

   And it shall be so that they will send for men of God to teach them the ways of the Word. 
   And it will come throughout the earth and shall sweep as the revival fire in the early church. 
   It shall be beyond what men have conceived in days past.

   Ministries of finance shall spring forth and the knowledge of the Lord shall grow in the earth
   until all that is in the earth shall be born into the Kingdom to put forth the message of the Gospel. 
   It should be financed in these days far beyond what has ever been done,  for these days are
   My days of My Power and My Strength, and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. 
   So watch Me filter it into their hands, saith the Lord."

   The foundations have been established to empower this Prophetic Word as we have traveled
    by the leading of the Holy Spirit and continue to Thirst after His Waters... the manifestation
    of His Presence in the work and letters he inspires to be written and released to those seeking
    the Truth, Life and Spirit of God according to the witness, life and teaching of Jesus Christ,
    Son of God. It is His patterns revealing the Light of the Kingdom of God that we pursue.
    Please keep in your heart and understanding that God is One, the Precious and Blessed Trinity:
    1.  God the Father
    2.  God the Son
    3,  God the Holy Spirit
=======================================

Advancing the Kingdom of Heaven

  The principles and purposes of Heart of God Ministries International are founded on the truths
   and statements of Scripture confirming the visions of the ministry and the substance of the Word
   of God and the illumination, enlightenment and revelation given by the Holy Ghost. 
   With unity of purpose, the guidance and communion of the Holy Spirit and the commitment to
   build divine relationships, we believe a true spiritual awareness of Christ's righteous living can
   be brought to general populaces of communities, to churches and to governments of nations.
 
   Our Biblical view is with clear understanding in order that we can share the wonderful Living God
   of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in whom we adore, worship and follow.

  The Law of Recognition is the first and most important Law that governs the lives of God's people.
Heb 11:6  AMP
  But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him.
  For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the
  rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out].
Rom 10:17  NKJV
 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

  The Law of Recognition encompasses the Law of Words and the Law of the Spirit. 
 
Anything that we do not recognize will eventually exit our lives!
  The Law of Words is the most powerful force given to mankind. 
  The Bible confirms this in the book of Genesis... chapter 1:3... (see reference below)
  This Law of Words works in both the physical and the spiritual realm.
  This is the power of the internet... the virtual world... the Law of the Word.
  God gave His Word and gave men ability to speak it by
the Spirit...
  The Law of the Spirit opens mankind to the supernatural realm of God for the purpose of relationship.
 
  God also gave men power over words to be manifest in the physical realm. 
  Do you know how many distinct languages and dialects are in existent in the earth?
Isaiah 55:11  AMP
  So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void
  [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose,
  and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.  

Genesis 1:1-4 AMP
  1:1 IN THE beginning God (prepared, formed, fashioned, and) created the heavens and the earth.
        [Heb 11:3.]
  2 The earth was without form and an empty waste, and darkness
      was upon the face of the very great deep. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding)
      over the face of the waters.
  3 And God said, Let there be light; and there was light.
  4 And God saw that the light was good (suitable, pleasant) and
     He approved it; and God separated the light from the darkness.  
 
  Genesis 1:1  God recognizes the need to prepare, form and fashion the created heavens and earth.
  Genesis 1:2  God recognizes the void that exists.
                           He sends the Spirit of God to survey the absence of the physical .
  Genesis 1:3  God speaks and the Light becomes Light!
  Genesis 1:4  God approves the results of the effects of that which He speaks.

  God has given mankind the power of creation through words also!
  He has given us dominion over our words.
 
God has given us dominion power over thoughts and our tongue.
  We have power to release the spirit words of our mind and they go forth through the mouth
  with power to create and edify. 
  We have power to choose words of life or words of death.

  Our dominion of words and that which we speak rules our lives!
  We have the power to speak our future into existence!

   But, what shall we speak?

   Life is changed through the intents of the heart, the thoughts of the mind and the words that
   are spoken from the mouth!

  
Life is changed through the Law of Recognition.
   Until we recognize and then value someone or something , we are blocked from their blessings
   and creative power.

   Where there is no relationship, there are no words of power other than our own. 
   This is the basic principle of the Kingdom of Heaven.


   So let's begin our journey by recognizing the power of the Word of God and the enabling
   divine empowerment of the Holy Spirit residing within!  In our quest for spiritual understanding
   about the Great Commission we need to recognize it is comprised of parts.  
Our study and
   knowledge of the principles that control and explain the Lord's instructions are necessary to
   validate the actions we are to take.
Rom 10:8-10 AMP
   But what does it say? The Word (God's message in Christ) is near you, on your lips and in your
   heart; that is, the Word (the message, the basis and object) of faith which we preach, [Deut 30:14.]
   9 Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart
   believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be
   saved.  10 For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so
   is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares
   openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation. 

  How do these scriptures relate to the Kingdom of Heaven?
Rom 10:14-15 AMP
  But how are people to call upon Him Whom they have not believed [in Whom they have no faith,
  on Whom they have no reliance]?  And how are they to believe in Him [adhere to, trust in, and rely
  upon Him] of Whom they have never heard?
  And how are they to hear without a preacher?
  15 And how can men [be expected to] preach unless they are sent?
  As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings!
  [How welcome is the coming of those who preachthe good news of His good things!


  These scriptures reveal the principle that God uses His Church, His Body of Christ,
   as His agent to bring His Kingdom principles to earth.
  "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings" demonstrates the principles
   of power which have been discussed in the above narratives!
  We recognize that Jesus gave gifts of men and gave spiritual gifts to accomplish the purpose,
  will and acts of Father God.  

We preach...to proclaim.   We teach... to explain.
 

  Thus, Heart of God Ministries International recognizes the importance of spiritual growth and
  emphasizes the necessity to identify the gifts of men and the spiritual gifts working as graces
  in each of our lives.  The ministries of which form the framework of the International vision...
  work collectively in support of each other to carry the Light of Christ globally. 

  We recognize that God has given every believer unique spiritual gifts that enables them to perform
  tasks differently than others.  God uses our differences in background, personality and viewpoint
  to achieve His desired ends.
Each one's own personal testimony of coming into the Kingdom
  carries the "seed" of conversion!  Spirit Words are those Powerful Seeds!

  Our personal testimony by and in itself is a spiritual "seed."
  Our personal testimony demonstrates the Law of Words and the Law of the Word of God working
  in our lives!  With God all things are possible.  And we know that all things work together for good
  to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 
(Rom 8:28-29 NKJV)
  We are not limited to a single "seed." Seeds are the Spiritual and Natural substances from which
  growth originates.  We must receive the "spiritual seed" of Christ before we start the growing
  process.
 
  A farmer must broadcast many seeds in order to produce a harvest.
  God's plan to redeem man from the world of darkness and sin (lawlessness) is spiritual
  and as such impacts the body, soul and spirit.    Conversion is by the Spirit.
  The "seeds" we speak are the words of the Gospel...  the living proof that the power of the
   Kingdom of Heaven has come to earth and is active from generation to generation. 
Jesus Christ is the Gospel...the Good News!

  Our supply of seeds regarding our experience in receiving the new life in Jesus Christ is unlimited!   
  God did not require that we come to the full understanding of the Bible before He would invite
  us to receive His free gift of Salvation. 

  We do not subscribe to the need for extensive training in order to touch lives of others and see
  them recognize the need for Christ in their lives.   The testimony of our mouth and an act of love
  and mercy carries great compassion and power. Personal gracious words of thanksgiving to God
  from an humble repentant heart are very effectual in touching the hearts and lives of others. 

1 Peter 1:23 AMP
  You have been regenerated (born again), not from a mortal origin (seed, sperm), but from one
  that is immortal by the ever living
and lasting Word of God.

   However, we do believe in discipleship to prepare and equip believers in the doctrines of the
  Uncompromised Word of the Gospel and the effectual work of the gifts of the Holy Spirit for
  building up the church that it might do the works of the ministry.

Ephesians 4:11-13  AMP
  And His gifts were [varied; He Himself appointed and gave men to us] some to be apostles
  (special messengers), some prophets (inspired preachers and expounders), some evangelists
  (preachers of the Gospel, traveling missionaries), some pastors (shepherds of His flock) and
  teachers.
  12 His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated
  people), [that they should do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ's body (the church),

  13[That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the
  [full   and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood
  (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ's own
   perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found
   in Him.


======================================= 
  
Born of the Spirit

 
To be regenerated, "born again,"  converted is to be 'translated" and transformed in the spirit. 
  Your spirit is changed. It is renewed.
  ● Your spirit does not feel in the physical, tactile world. 
  It "spiritually senses" or discerns spiritual realities. 
 
You are alive to a new dimension of life: the Light of Truth, the Light of  Life
      and the Light of the Spirit. 
 
You are a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven. 
 
Your will is subject to the will of God. 
 
The Kingdom of God is a Now reality. 
 
God's Son came to earth to fill all things. 
 
You now have access to all the promises of God that He has provided for His regenerated sons.
 
  All things have become new for they are spirit and not subject to the rule of the world. 
 
New laws and new ways to think and act are granted, endowed, and empowered within your
      triune being.
 
You are given new "seeds to living" in physical realities and in the eternal realms.

=======================================

  We recognize that God gave the Church these mandates:
  1.  lead people to salvation in Christ Jesus, the Son of God
  2.  teach the principles of the Kingdom of God
  3.  edify and mature the church Body in Christ's image;
       the Light of Truth, the Light of Life and the Light of the Spirit.
We especially recognize that the Kingdom of Heaven
has come to earth in demonstration of God's love and presence!

 ►We recognize that the spiritual Kingdom of God demonstrated by the presence of the
      Holy Ghost is given to the Church to influence and be established in every area of society.
    •The Kingdom comprises everything submitted to the rule of Christ Jesus. 
    •The Kingdom comprises everything that is obedient to His Lordship.
    •The Kingdom comprises the call for each to seek intimacy with Him through the Word of God
      and the Person, Holy Ghost...the Spirit of Truth.
 
             Do you now have a deeper understanding of how exciting
sharing the Gospel of Christ with others can be?
  Without exception,
We recognize that people are the greatest resource that God has placed on earth. 
     The Church does not exist in and for itself. 
     The Church is God's vehicle to lead and manage the people of God through discipleship,
     evangelism, spiritual knowledge and understanding, missions and other ordained church
     actions centered upon Him to His glory.   All these actions are built upon relationships.
     Covenant Ministries are equipped to reach and teach.  They are ready to work with churches
     to aid in the structuring and equipping process.

Involvement in the church of Jesus Christ is a lifestyle...
We are to walk in the Light as He is in the Light.
1 John 1:7 AMP
    But if we [really] are living and walking in the Light, as He [Himself] is in the Light, we have
   [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses
   (removes) us from all sin and guilt [keeps us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations]. 

Relationships form the foundation of all we do. 
   As such, in covenantal relationship, leadership of Heart of God Ministries International in our
   calling and placement is committed to a strong sense of "Family."
Our visionary "family" is composed of ministry Apostolic-Prophetic TEAMS.  
Our vision extends into time, space and seasons. 
  We are only ultimately successful to the extent that
        we pass on our Christian heritage to our children and our children's children... 
        Time will continue to march forward in the consummation of the ages of Christ's
        glorified Church.  
=======================================

Your future is decided by Who you have chosen to believe.
What you believe will determine your life's directions
and accomplishments.

The Law of Recognition will answer the questions
buried within you
for a lifetime.

=======================================

   Habakkuk, 2:2-3 we are instructed to write the vision and to make it plain.
   The visions of God are very specific and it is advantageous for us to consider the "costs"
   or the ways to which the Lord would have us approach His business.

   Most definitely, we draw upon the Holy Spirit for His leading and confirmations. 
   He gives the visions, the ideas, the dreams which are released into our spirit
mind for receiving
   "imaginations" brought to conformity of Christ's teachings
and commandments within the
   "Bread of Life," the Light of the Word. 

God is a business minded Person. 
He is a Person of objectives and goals. 
Within them are contained relational destinies!

   As commended and appointed leaders in the Body of Christ, we approach the GREATER WORKS
   commission with a mind of Christ (enabled by the Word)... mind of the Spirit...
   Jesus instructs us to think, to analyze, to compare, to become
   "compellingly" focused in examining, evaluating, and comparatively analyzing our approach
   to what we have set forth in our hearts to believe and our actions to accomplish. 
   We are to rely upon the Word and the spiritual guidance of the Holy Spirit.

   Let us pull down every thought and bring it into conformity of the Word.
2 Cor 10:5  KJV
  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God,
  and bringing into captivity
every thought to the obedience of Christ;
  Having the pure Word in our hearts, we are then able to speak the Word of Truth and see it
  accomplish that for which it was sent!

   A review of the scriptures Romans 16:1-16 and 1 Corinthians 16:13-20 will reveal the leveraged
   relationships we have: gifts of men! (non-gender)
Gifts of men are different than gifts of the Spirit.    
   God has given each called into the Kingdom divine connections in various relationships.  
   These relationships are evident in different administrations of the spiritual gifts. 

   The Great Commission is recorded in the following Scripture texts:
Matt 28:18-20 AMP
   18 Jesus approached and, breaking the silence, said to them, All authority (all power of rule)
    in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.

   19 Go then and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and
    of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

   20 Teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you
   all the days ( perpetually, uniformly,
and on every occasion), to the [very] close and consummation
   of the age. Amen (so let it be). 


Mark 16:15-18 AMP
   15 And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach and publish openly the good news
    (the Gospel) to every creature
[of the whole human race].
   16 He who believes [who adheres to and trusts in and relies on the Gospel and Him Whom
    it sets forth] and is baptized will be saved
[from the penalty of eternal death]; but he who does
    not believe
[who does not adhere to and trust in and rely on the Gospel and Him Whom it sets forth]
    will be condemned.

   17 And these attesting signs will accompany those who believe: in My name they will drive out
    demons; they will speak in new languages;

   18 They will pick up serpents; and [even] if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them;
   they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will
get well.

   Let us look closely at the command of the Lord regarding the Great Commission.
   Most generally when someone mentions the Great Commission it enlists one's focus on evangelism.
   Many are taught that the job as a believer is to individually seek and save. Most accept the charge
   that they are to reach out to those who have not received the Gospel, but rarely exercise it. 
   Usually, they envision others to be soul winners and gladly send them into local neighborhoods,
   distant cities and on missions into third world countries. 
   Many live a life of guilt because they are uncomfortable approaching others about the Gospel. 
   They cannot see themselves going from door to door, distributing tracts, thumping Bibles in the
   air and screaming out the "Passages of Salvation" to passerbys, painting "Jesus Saves"
   or "Are you going to Heaven or Hell" on billboards, and getting in strangers faces to confront
   them with the Gospel. 

   Is it possible that these methods were not at all what Jesus had in mind when He gave the
       Commission?

   Is it possible many have missed the mark? 
   Has the Church failed to recognize that we may be short-sighted and limited in our visions
       to "reach the lost at any cost?"

  ►Have we so designed our methods to frighten off the laborers that God has provided to fulfill
       His Great Commission? 
  Are the workers just those with the "gift of evangelism?"
 
Why did God give the whole Body all of its gifts, talents and abilities?

======================================= 

  To dig deeper into some of these questions we will search the Scriptures for God's answers.

  You may also wish to obtain copies of Larry Gilbert's insightful books Team Evangelism and Team
  Ministries
published by Growth Church Institute.  They provide foundational information for
  understanding gifts.

=======================================

   Reference has been made in other sections of this ministry site as to the directing and guiding
   assistance of the Holy Spirit. 
We have entered the season when He is bringing revelation
   to the Body of Christ as to the design and implementation of His presence in the works of the
   Great Commission!  
We have entered the season of new beginnings!
   All things shall become new and a full transformation of the church will be evidence of the
   administration of King Jesus as we experience
new dynamic realms of the Work of the Holy Ghost!
=======================================
 

   Most of the evangelism tactics mentioned above are the designs of men and not of the Lord. 
   It is very interesting that 2000 years ago the Lord Jesus did not give the Church instructions
   as to how to evangelize. 
He simply gave the command to do so! 

   We have posted the Scriptures of Matthew and Mark above that empower the Church to evangelize.
   In order to fulfill the Great Commission we need to look at the several parts to it and each requires
   application of divine principles and applications. 
   A closer look reveals that the command is a process of events that leads to perfecting the Church.
This is a wonderful revelation for us to receive!
   Christ Jesus commissioned the entire Body of Christ to participate in the process of the Great
   Commission!  Let us grasp the term GREAT!


Evangelizing is just one part of the whole command.

   We must understand that the Great Commission involves both the gifts of men and the spiritual gifts
   given to the Body to bring us all to the unity
of God's purposes through Christ!
   The Great Commission commands that we receive Christ's authority to build the Church.
   Christ is the Master Leader.
  It is He Who delegates the actions of building through His Body!

   One must be aware of the dominate spiritual gift and the abilities that work
within them. 
   To build the church, requires each person to function in the gift in which one was called
   and designed to work!
Not all spiritual gifts are leadership gifts.
======================================

Ephesians 4:16 AMP
   For because of Him the whole body (the church, in all its various parts), closely joined and firmly
   knit together by the joints and ligaments with which it is supplied, when each part [with power
  adapted to its need] is working properly [in all its functions], grows to full maturity, building
  itself up in love. 

  If we do not know the gifts given to us, how can we be "knit together?"
  If we are not "knit together," how can we accomplish the Lord's mandates?

Ephesians 4:11-13 AMP
   And His gifts were [varied; He Himself appointed and gave men to us] some to be apostles
   (special messengers), some prophets
(inspired preachers and expounders), some evangelists
   (preachers of the Gospel, traveling missionaries), some pastors (shepherds of His flock) and
   teachers.

   12 His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated people),
   [that they should do] the work of ministering
toward building up Christ's body (the church),
   13 [That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the
  [full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God,
that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood
  (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ's
  own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness
  found in Him. 


   Ephesians 4:12 again restates the purposes of the Great Commission!
   "...[that they should do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ's body (the church)."
 'They' is not one, it is the Apostolic-Prophetic TEAM!
=======================================

   A call to leadership prepares one for being a steward of the gifts, talents and abilities within
  the Body of the Church.  We must know who carries these special gifts
so that proper
  stewardship of the graces of Christ's
TEAMs can be delegated for the proper tasks. 
  One does not employ a plumber to survey the plot on
which one plans to build a house,
  nor employ an electrician to roof the house.

   A leader is responsible to lead others to do the work of ministering depending on the tasks
  and the gifts required.


  Leadership is charged with four primary responsibilities: 
 
training,
 
discipling,
 
recognizing,
 
encouraging.
 
  These are critical roles for fulfillment of the Great Commission. 
  Apostolic-Prophetic TEAM strategy
is required to fill these roles. 
  No one individual is the sole member of the Body of Christ. 
  Christ designed His Church as a body of many members.
1 Corinthians 12:27-31 AMP
  Now you [collectively] are Christ's body and [individually] you are members of it, each part severally
  and distinct [each with his own place and function].

  28 So God has appointed some in the church [for His own use]: first apostles (special messengers);
  second prophets (inspired preachers
and expounders); third teachers; then wonder-workers;
  then those with
ability to heal the sick; helpers; administrators; [speakers in] different (unknown)
  tongues.

  29 Are all apostles (special messengers)?
  Are all prophets (inspired interpreters of the will and purposes of God)?
  Are all teachers?
  Do all have the power of performing miracles?
  30 Do all possess extraordinary powers of healing?
  Do all speak with tongues?
  Do all interpret?

 note: The obvious answer to these questions is NO.

 
31 But earnestly desire and zealously cultivate the greatest and best gifts and graces
  (the higher gifts and the choicest graces). 
And yet I will show you a still more excellent way
  [one that is better
by far and the highest of them all--love]. 

The central focus of the Great Commission is Biblical teaching
and Demonstration of the Kingdom! 

  Most focus on the Commission as the charge to evangelize the world.  
  One person cannot alone do ministry to, or on behalf of, the Body and evangelize the world. 
  Jesus did not overlook providing the way to build the Church as some would report. 
  Ministry must be shared through training. 
  The Holy Spirit is a wonderful teacher as He illuminates and enlightens us in the Word of God
  (as we seek the patterns of the Son) then empowers us to go forth with the revelations.
  With the insights of the Scriptures, leaders must encourage others to lead, who, in turn encourage
  and train more leaders.
=======================================

   We will cover God's Old Testament and New Testament pattern of twelve at a later writing.
   We serve a purposeful God who has a divine plan for building Christ's Church, the Kingdom
   of God on earth through Apostolic-Prophetic TEAMS!   It is an awesome study that will give
   encouragement to you in the manifold wisdom of God that is placed in the Word for the building
   processes.
2 Tim 3:16-17  AMP
   Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction,
   for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error
and discipline in obedience,
   [and] for training in righteousness
(in holy living, in conformity to God's will in thought, purpose,
   and action),

   17 So that the man of God may be complete and proficient, well fitted and thoroughly equipped
   for every good work. 

=======================================
 
  We recognize the  "gift of the evangelist" is normally seen as the dominate gift in the process
  of leading the church in its quest to present the Gospel of Salvation. 
  Not everyone carries this gifting. 
  Then, where is your place in the Great Commission if you do not carry the gift of the evangelist?  
  How can you fulfill the charge?

There is Good News for you!

   Here is the vision of God for the Great Commission:
Luke 24:46-49 AMP
  46 And said to them, Thus it is written that the Christ (the Messiah) should suffer and on the
  third day rise from ( among) the dead, [Hos 6:2.]

  47 And that repentance [with a view to and as the condition of] forgiveness of sins should be
  preached in His name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

  48 You are witnesses of these things.
  49 And behold, I will send forth upon you what My Father has promised; but remain in the city
  [Jerusalem] until you are clothed with power from
on high.

By the power and work of the Resurrection Spirit of God,
we carry the "seeds"of our testimony!
  Luke 24:48 affirms this spiritual truth.  Each person that has entered the Kingdom of God
  came through repentance!
  Each has had a different unique experience in our conversion from a life of darkness into the life
  of His marvelous Light!   Our conversion was our transformation and translation into a new creation!
  Some may have come through crisis, but all came through conviction of our sin-filled lives.
  We were made aware of the need to have God's loving grace and forgiveness of sins through His
  Son's teachings and sacrifice and the conviction presence of the Holy Spirit.
  It is again time to invite the help of the Holy Ghost!  He is responsible for the spiritual gifts!
  The Bible shows us His administrations!  It is to our advantage that He has been sent to us to aid
  us in Christ's command of the Great Commission!!

Yet, rarely is Holy Spirit recognized or consulted.
 
  The Bible says the Holy Ghost is sent for these purposes:
  1.  To convict of sin because people do not believe in Christ or that He has  come.
  2.  To convince the world about righteousness...uprightness of heart and right standing with God.
  3.  To demonstrate to the world about judgment because the ruler (evil genius,  prince) of this world
       [Satan] is judged and condemned and sentence already is passed upon him.

  Fulfilling the Great Commission is not yours as an individual to accomplish all by yourself. 
  God gave the church gifts of men to equip the Body for the works of the ministry.
  You are given a team to work with you!

  The Holy Spirit is responsible to empower and lead the Team.
  Here is the secret... Only when we invite Him in Jesus's Name will He provide the impartation
  of direction and power!


  The question is not : "Will we witness (speak), but how will we be a witness? 
  When we are trusting Jesus Christ as Lord as well as Savior,He enables us to live and speak
   as faithful witnesses.  It is the Holy Spirit, not we, who converts an individual!
  You have already read in many places in the pages of this website that your destiny is decided
  by who you chose to believe.  God's Word clearly shows us His principles...

  ALSO add this to your understanding of Destiny...
  God has predestined
each believer with His will and purposes.
  We are to walk as an instrument of God while here on earth dedicated to and yielded to His will,
  purposes, thoughts, and actions. 
  We are to live in the Light of Christ using God given talents, skills, wisdom, and spiritual gifts. 
  We are a chosen generation... in fact the Word is specific that we are to have Christ's
  vision of generation after generation, age after age.
 

 The last generation was established in the resurrection.    Jesus, the begotten Son was the
 First Fruit of the resurrection.  All sons are conceived by God by His mighty power. 

 God births His "New Born" by the Spirit of God.


  Here is the GOOD NEWS... Jesus said,
John 16:13-15 AMP
  13 But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes,
  He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message
  [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever

  He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will
   announce and declare to you the things that are
to come [that will happen in the future].
  14 He will honor and glorify Me, because He will take of (receive, draw upon) what is Mine and will
  reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to you.

  15 Everything that the Father has is Mine. That is what I meant when I said that He [the Spirit] will
   take the things that are Mine and will reveal
(declare, disclose, transmit) it to you. 

   The Holy Spirit teaches us and informs us of the Master's will for His own.
   We are to honor the Holy Ghost and seek relationship with Him.

   THE LAW OF RECOGNITION works on this wise...
"Anyone or anything we refuse to celebrate,
eventually exits our life." 
(Mike Murdock)

   A major part of the Universal  Body of Christ has nullified the viability of the working presence
   of the Holy Spirit to a "principle," an "it, or a "thing,"
and ignore Him as a Person...
  Thus, most of the Body of Christ have been stripped of Divine supernatural power.  
  The scriptures are filled with the acts of the Holy Spirit to show us God's will, and purposes!
  

  The Lord is calling for us to wake up!
  Do you believe that your future is decided by Who you have chosen to believe?
  Do you need miracles of healing to your body?
  Do you need miracles in your family relations?
  Do you need miracles in your finances?
  Only when we turn to the Holy Ghost through Jesus Christ will we witness the supernatural!
  The Holy Ghost is a  Person!  Jesus sent Him to us on His behalf!

   Salvation is a supernatural experience!  No one calls Jesus Christ Lord except by the Holy Spirit! 
   And yet the tremendous privilege of presenting Jesus Christ is ours!  The Holy Spirit is the Person
   who enables and empowers.   He does the convicting of sin.  It is His work that converts the lost for
   He is living in the Word of God within that which we speak.
  
Holy Ghost is sent as God's agent to administer the supernatural powers of the Kingdom of God
   to the Body of Christ.
  He hears the will of the Father though our King, the Lord Jesus, and reveals,
   declares, discloses, transmits their thoughts, actions and purposes.
  
  These forms of impartation are the gifts given in varied forms and
[individually] you are members
   of the body, each part severally and distinct [each with your own place and function].


   One of the greatest miracles of God is the regeneration of the soul!
   He loves mankind with such fervent love that He has empowered the Church to reach
   the uninformed and the captive through the Gospel of Christ!

2 Timothy 3:1-5 AMP
  BUT UNDERSTAND this, that in the last days will come (set in) perilous times of great stress and
  trouble [hard to deal with and hard to bear].

  2 For people will be lovers of self and [utterly] self-centered, lovers of money and aroused by an
  inordinate [greedy] desire for wealth, proud and arrogant and contemptuous boasters. They will be
  abusive (blasphemous, scoffing), disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane.

  3 [They will be] without natural [human] affection (callous and inhuman), relentless (admitting of no
  truce or appeasement); [they will be] slanderers (false accusers, troublemakers), intemperate and
  loose in morals and conduct, uncontrolled and fierce, haters of good.

  4 [They will be] treacherous [betrayers], rash, [and] inflated with self-conceit. [They will be] lovers
  of sensual pleasures and vain amusements more than and rather than lovers of God.

  5 For [although] they hold a form of piety (true religion), they deny and reject and are strangers to the
  power of it [their conduct belies the genuineness of their profession]. 
  Avoid [all] such people [turn away from them].
 

  Only by the power of the Holy Ghost can minds and hearts be changed. 
==================================

  The Ministries of Heart of God Ministries International...
  ► Recognizes God's unique spiritual gift that enables one to perform
        a task
differently than anyone else. 

  Since Christ gave the Commission to the Church,

  the Church must be at the center for any application of the Commission to work.  
 
In other words, only the Church with its many members
working together as the Holy Spirit
  administers the
Word of Faith, diversity of gifts, and abilities can fulfill the Great Commission!
  1 Cor 12:11
AMP
  All these [gifts, achievements, abilities] are inspired and brought to pass by one and the same
  [Holy] Spirit, Who apportions to each person individually [exactly] as He chooses.

 
Working outside of the structure of the Spiritual Church does not provide a clear way to Life
  in the Light of Jesus Christ.    It is not His plan.

  A new born baby cannot care for itself.  It must be nurtured! 
  Those who are outside of the spiritual structure and covering of spiritual mentors are not working
  in the perfecting plan of God for His spiritually reborn children.

  Spiritual does not allude to a legalistic and religious systems called "church."   
  Our recognition of "church" is one that encompasses the active manifest presence
  of the Holy Ghost whereby believers gather to fellowship and worship the  Lordship
  of Jesus Christ in the Word of God as led by the Holy Spirit in pursuit of Ephesians 4:12-16. 
AMP
  12 His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated people),
   [that they should do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ's body (the church),
  13[That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the [full
  and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the
  completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ's own
  perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness
  found in Him.
  14 So then, we may no longer be children, tossed [like ships] to and fro between chance gusts
  of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, [the prey of] the cunning and
  cleverness of unscrupulous men, [gamblers engaged] in every shifting form of trickery in
  inventing errors to mislead.
  15 Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly].
   Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even]
   Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed one).
  16 For because of Him the whole body (the church, in all its various parts), closely joined and firmly
   knit together by the joints and ligaments with which it is supplied, when each part [with power
   adapted to its need] is working properly [in all its functions], grows to full maturity, building itself
   up in love.
   Church is the Body of Christ.  It is not focused upon denominational structuring.
   Church is a gathering of two or more in which Christ by the abiding Holy Spirit empowers
   believers in the Gifts of the Spirit for demonstration of His power and testament of His work!
  Let us recognize the One God...  The triune three Person God...
  ► We recognize our Heavenly Father. 
  ► We recognize His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
  ► We recognize He Who is with us to guide and lead us....The Holy Spirit.
Galatians  5:25 AMP
  If we live by the [Holy] Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. [If by the Holy Spirit we have our life
  in God, let us go forward walking in line,
our conduct controlled by the Spirit.]

  Jesus demonstrates the pattern of discipleship with His chosen twelve. 

   He proved them and perfected them for the works of the ministry.
   The works are functions of apostolic-prophetic teams demonstrating works of apostles,

   prophets, evangelists, shepherds and teachers.

   He trained His called out ones and empowered them before sending them!
   He built the 1st century church body through them.  Read the Acts.
   It is rich in the administrations of the Spirit sent by our Risen Lord...the Holy Ghost! 
=======================================

   Before He left planet earth in the Ascension, Jesus commanded,
  1.  Go and teach: 
  The word teach in this passage means to make disciples of.
  New Testament reveals that when Jesus taught and people received His teachings,
  they followed Him from place to place. 
  They became a follower of Christ.  Jesus recognized them as His disciples.
  The pattern given to us then, is to present the teachings of Christ
   that contains the power of conviction... to lead or influence others
  to become Christ followers.   We cannot do it under our own designs
  and human abilities.  We must fully recognize the 5-fold ministry Team!

  Salvation is a gift of God and it comes packaged with
the seal of the Holy Spirit.
  By faith are we saved. 
  By faith are we sealed. 
  By faith
we receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit! 
  By faith we direct our actions to the purposes, will and acts of God.
1 Cor 3:16 AMP
  Do you not discern and understand that you [the whole church at Corinth] are God's temple
  (His sanctuary), and that God's Spirit has His permanent
dwelling in you [to be at home in you,
  collectively as a church
and also individually]?

Ephesians 4:30 AMP
  And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God [do not offend or vex or sadden Him], by Whom you were
  sealed (marked, branded as God's own, secured)
for the day of redemption (of final deliverance
  through Christ
from evil and the consequences of sin). 
  Note:  A message has been prepared
searching deeply into the day
              of our redemption
for those who have requested the
              Prophetic Voice Newsletter.  It is #4 in a sequence of newsletters
              periodically emailed to our subscribers.

             
  
The second part of what Jesus commanded,
   2.  All nations
   These two words give us insight as to who we are to go and teach.
   It explains to whom we are to target and preach the Gospel. 
   One individual is not capable to go to all the nations even on the world wide web. 
   There are some seven billion plus individuals on planet earth. 
   Not all have computers or access to them. 
   One person cannot physically go to 200+ nations, either.
  When people evangelize as individuals there is no structure for the new convert to experience
  continued spiritual growth. There is no one to tend to the new born child. 
  The Church Body acts as the "mother." It nurtures and cares for the needs of all within it. 
  It develops the child into a follower, a disciple of Christ. 
  The spiritual church uses the principles of "follow-up" and "fellow-ship" to advance
   the Light of Life of a believer.

  The Commission is given to the Church Body.

  All job classifications have an entry level and provide advancement through education and 
  experience.   We are the work force of the Kingdom of Heaven on the earth!  
  The Great Commission provides everyone in the Kingdom a job placement!  There is no lack! 
3 John 2 AMP
  Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and [that your body] may keep well, even as
  [I know] your soul keeps well and prospers. 

  
  This brings us to the third part of the Commission,
  3.  Baptizing them: 
  Water baptism is an ordinance given to the Church Body.
  The Lord's Supper of Bread and Wine is the other.
  Jesus DID NOT restrict the baptism by water Nor the partaking of the "Lord's Table"
   to clergy as is practiced by western civilization.  As born again believers each is considered
   a "son" of God.  As such each is given full authority to all that Jesus patterns.
Neither water baptism nor taking of the bread and/or wine provide salvation.

  God has set His divine order in the Church Body just as He set divine order in the construction
  of the tabernacles of Moses and David and the Temple of Solomon.
  Since the Great Commission was given to the apostolic-prophetic builders,
  the authority to baptize is fully given to the whole Body...
  Pattern for administration not restricted to those called as "gifts of men." 
  "Gifts of men" function as appointed by Christ and led by the ZHoly Spirit for the equipping
  and edification of the church body. 

There is no escape from God's external blessings when we obey! 
I am referring to the laws of the Spirit and not to the laws of Sin and Death.
Laws of the Spirit Life are revealed in the Scriptures!  God is not limited.

                         God's blessings will overtake covenant keepers. The Holy Spirit empowers!
God is Not a respecter of persons when it pertains to the Kingdom!

Deuteronomy 28:2 AMP
  And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you if you heed the voice
  of the Lord your God.  

  God's law is more powerful than man's law.  The Holy Spirit is more powerful than rebellious man's
  unholy spirit.  To deny the Church and to deny Christ is to also deny the power of the Holy Ghost! 
  To deny the Person, Holy Spirit and not seek Him for counsel is to affirm that the effects of Adam's
  sin of disobedience is more powerful throughout history than the effects of Christ's resurrection! 
  To deny, stands to also affirm Satan's dominion power over people.   God is the God of Obey.
Jesus took dominion over the devil, hell and the grave!
In short, dominion is an inescapable reality. 
  It is never a question of "dominion vs dominion... man's will vs. God's will or Satan's will against
  God's will.   God is ruler of Heaven and earth regardless of whether we recognize Him as such! 
  It is always a question of whose dominion!   Who do you chose to believe and who do you chose
  to follow...  Christ's commands and ordinances (or)... some other power on earth? 
  It is not simply enough to lead people to Christ.
  I say it again...it is not simply enough that people be guided to Christ. 
  Counting conversions to Christ is not fulfilling the Great commission!
  One must learn to walk in the Light of Christ. It requires discipleship.
Fulfilling the Great Commission is relational!

  Our intellectual minds want us to immediately begin to learn of the ways of God through study
   and application.  Mature elders (leaders), not deacons, are to lead the new "born-again baby"
  {not chronological aged} believer by the way of the Spirit into relationship with the Body.
After conversion, a primary spiritual action should be that of water baptism.
 

  1. Baptism identifies one with Christ and with the Church, which is His Body. 
      It is both a spiritual and physical authoritative command.
     
It provides recognition by the Body of one's professed conversion.
     
It demonstrates one's desire to be recognized as a part of Christ's Body.
       ►
It demonstrates one has a willing heart to obey Christ and walk in His Light.

  2. Baptism is not a sign up for membership in a local church.
  3. Baptism does not join you with an organization or religious design of man.
     The scriptures do not support such practice.

  4. Baptism joins you with the full Body of Jesus Christ as it recognizes placement in
     His Body.

  5. Baptism is a sign of God's covenantal dominion over man.
  6. Baptism outwardly marks one as God's covenant people.
  7. Baptism figuratively represents the circumcision of the Old Testament.
     Only now instead of a physical act imposed upon men's flesh, baptism signifies a circumcision
     of the heart. 
  8. Baptism
as commanded by Christ is an ordinance and as administrated  is a spiritual confirmation
      of being set apart and consecrated to Christ.  
  9. Baptism testifies to a Holy
God who separates the saved from the lost.

 
We have to get a hold of the beauty of what God has done for His "spiritually born sons"!

  Jesus is the Head of the Church.
  We are to be baptized into His Body.
  The church is His Body and the ordinance is His command. 

  What a blessing to yield and receive!

  We must understand the order of administration of the New Testament church,
  not that of organization.
  Jesus is not denominational, traditional, religious, or orthodox.
  He is Head of the Body, His Bride, the New Testament Spiritual Church.
  He is MARRIED... He is the Husband of the Body!  He is not looking for a wedding.
  Believers are consummated in Him.  Water Baptism is a demonstration of death to oneself
  buried in submergence and resurrection to a New and Glorious Spiritual Life in Him!
  We are limited only by what we choose to believe, receive and act upon.
Let our foundation be the Truth, Life and Spirit of God through Christ.
=======================================

Covenant Treaty of Peace

  In the spiritual realm the act of salvation establishes a truce (a peace treaty) marking man's act
  of faith in accepting God through Christ
as sovereign over man's affairs forever.
  John 14:27-28  NKJV
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives
do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

When we repent, we are translated into the Light of Christ.
God has reconciled us back to Himself.
He has placed us in right standing.
Father makes us His friends and sons. (non-gender)

We no longer have need to fear the unknown nor the wrath of God!
Baptism is a visible "token" of God's Covenant of Peace...
The baptized person is under the terms of the covenant,
God's peace treaty!  No longer are we a rebellious and lost soul.
We are made righteous in the Father's sight through the blood covering
of the Lamb, His sacrificed SON!
 
   When we are born again of the Spirit, we are sealed by the Holy Spirit for
our redemption
   to eternal life. 
Spiritual consummation is completed.  Baptism symbolizes our death to the ways
   of the world and in our resurrection in Christ we are made One in Him.
   We are new. We have released our old identity. We have a new Identity!
   We have a new name written in the book of Life. We are now not our own, but we are married
   and one in Him.
The ordinance of Baptism is the church's sign of the covenantal relationship
   between God and man just as a wedding ceremony between a man and a woman is a covenantal
   bond. 
The marriage covenant has been spiritually and ceremonially confirmed!  
   The husband and bride are one... evidenced by
our new life in Christ and His life in us. 

   There are no limitations of the Holy Spirit as to what He may do during the "rite of baptism."
   Supernatural manifestations of healing, "baptisms of fire" with the gift of unknown tongues,
   words of wisdom and words of knowledge have all been reported.  Jesus is the lover
   of our soul and nothing can separate us from His love.  He loves His Bride! He laid down His life
   for Her!
We are acknowledged as one with Christ.  
   If one with Christ, then one with God the Father and the Holy Spirit of God.

  The curse of the Law of Sin and Death has been cancelled for those in Christ Jesus! 
  
We are made whole and one with God in Christ He is the Head of the Body, His bride! ...
   The head of the woman is the husband and the head of Christ is the Father.
   The triune being of man...body, soul and spirit with it's "born again" spirit,  humbly yields to be
   recognized by man and God as placed in the Body of Christ when we are baptized!

Read the account of God's peace treaty with Noah.
Noah came into covenant with God through water.

   He illuminates Light and His favor is upon us!   Deuteronomy 28:2-15.

  The following scripture spells out why every person on the earth should Obey God and receive
  His Gift through Christ!  Christ is the Way to the Covenant of Peace with God the Father!
  Here is what The Covenant provides...
Ephesians  3:20 AMP
  Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us,
  is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare]
  ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]--

=======================================

God Loves Us!

   Is there anyone who does not desire a superabundant life? 
   We are to submit ourselves and our whole household. 
   Submit simply means to yield our ways and do things His ways. 
   Let God's will be done in our lives!  Ephesians 3:20 wonderfully expresses what God has prepared
   to do for those who yield.  The command is that all should be baptized into Christ and His body...
   Look how graciously Jesus gave the ordinance for water baptism. 
Matt 28:19   KJV
  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
  and of the Holy Ghost:


 
"In Jesus Name," refers to all that He is.
  "In the name of the Father," refers to all that He is.
   "In the name of the Holy Ghost," refers to all that He is.
   The Father, Son and Holy Ghost are three persons in perfect accord functioning as the Godhead
    and each fully agree in all things.

   There is one God the Father, one Lord...
1 Corinthians 8:6   AMP
   Yet for us there is [only] one God, the Father, Who is the Source of all things and for Whom we
   [have life], and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through and by Whom are all things and through and by
   Whom we [ourselves exist].
See the deeper study of "The Blessed Trinity"

1 John 5:7-12  Amp
   7 So there are three witnesses in heaven: the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit, and these three
   are one;

   8 and there are three witnesses on the earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three
   agree [are in unison; their testimony coincides].

   9 If we accept [as we do] the testimony of men [if we are willing to take human authority],
   the testimony of God is greater (of stronger authority), for this is the testimony of God, even the
   witness which He has borne regarding His Son.

  10 He who believes in the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him] has the testimony
   [possesses this divine attestation] within himself. He who does not believe God [in this way] has
   made Him out to be and represented Him as a liar, because he has not believed (put his faith in,
   adhered to, and relied on) the evidence (the testimony) that God has borne regarding His Son.

  11 And this is that testimony (that evidence): God gave us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
  12 He who possesses the Son has that life; he who does not possess the Son of God does not
   have that life.


  The Lord's covenant Bride can and must grow richer and more powerful when she remains faithful
   to Him by obeying His laws and ordinances.

Ephesians 4:15 AMP
  15 Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly].
   Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way
and in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even]
   Christ (the Messiah,
the Anointed one).


  Your future is decided by Who you have chosen to believe.
 What you believe will determine your life's directions and accomplishments.
 Do you believe the Word of God we have studied?
 Or, do you hold to the systems of men?

 Please do not shut out what God is showing us through His Word.
 Paul, an apostle, was always addressing false doctrines which he would have to confront and set
 straight...

Colossians 2:8 AMP
 See to it that no one carries you off as spoil or makes you yourselves captive by his so-called
  philosophy and intellectualism and vain deceit (idle fancies and plain nonsense), following human 
  tradition (men's ideas of the material rather than the spiritual world), just crude notions following the
  rudimentary and elemental teachings of the universe and disregarding [the teachings of] Christ
  (the Messiah).


   Paul is writing to the church, "EPISTLE TO THE COLOSSIANS."
  Some Alexandrian Jews may have visited Colosse and taught Philo's Greek philosophy, combined
  with the rabbinical angelology and mysticism, afterward embodied in the Cabbala. 
 
(from Fausset's Bible Dictionary, Electronic Database Copyright (c)1998 by Biblesoft)       
  Ancient
spelling is Kabbalah.
 
Kabbalah — the world’s oldest body of practiced spiritual wisdom — professes to contain the hidden
  keys to the secrets of the universe as well as the keys to mysteries of the human heart and soul.
  Kabbalistic teachings explain the complexities of the material and the nonmaterial universe, as well
  as the physical and metaphysical nature of all humanity. Kabbalah shows in detail, how to navigate
  that vast terrain in order to remove every form of chaos, pain, and suffering. 
It is humanistic heresy!


  This is Greek philosphy and Jewish traditional Kabbalah combined.
  It filtered into the church of Jesus Christ by false apostles and false teachers.
  Here is how Paul sets the record straight...
Colossians 2:9-11  AMP
  See to it that no one carries you off as spoil or makes you yourselves captive by his so-called
  philosophy and intellectualism and vain deceit (idle fancies and plain nonsense), following human
  tradition (men's ideas of the material rather than the spiritual world), just crude notions following the
  rudimentary and elemental teachings of the universe and disregarding [the teachings of] Christ
  (the Messiah).

  9 For in Him the whole fullness of Deity (the Godhead) continues to dwell in bodily form [giving
  complete expression of the divine nature].

  10 And you are in Him, made full and having come to fullness of life  [in Christ you too are filled with
  the Godhead--Father, Son and Holy Spirit--and reach full spiritual stature]
.
  And He is the Head of all rule and authority [of every angelic principality and power].

  11 In Him also you were circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, but in a [spiritual]
   circumcision [performed by] Christ by stripping off the body of the flesh (the whole corrupt, carnal
   nature with its
passions and lusts).
Here is another witness to water baptism submersion...
   12[Thus you were circumcised when] you were buried with Him in [your] baptism, in which you
   were also raised with Him [to a new life] through [your] faith in the working of God [as displayed]
   when He raised Him up from the dead.


   4.  Teaching them... means teach or to give instruction.
       Jesus identifies what we are to teach:
to observe all things, whatsoever I have commanded you.
   You must enter into the working of the Body.
   You must become an active disciple, and build identity in the functions of the Body
   in a Truth seeking and Holy Spirit power demonstrating gathering of believers.
 
All things, includes the whole of Biblical principles and laws. 
It embraces the physical life and the spiritual life...
our relationship with God and our relationship with each other.
We can only build as we connect.

Here is the results of accepting God's relational Peace Offering to us...
Colossians 2:13-15  AMP
  13 And you who were dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh (your sensuality,
   your sinful carnal nature), [God] brought to
life together with [Christ], having [freely] forgiven us
   all our transgressions,
  14 Having cancelled and blotted out and wiped away the handwriting of the note (bond) with its
   legal decrees and demands which was in force
and stood against us (hostile to us).
   This [note with its regulations, decrees, and demands] He set aside and cleared completely out
   of our
way by nailing it to [His] cross.
  15[God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold
  display and public example of them, in triumphing
over them in Him and in it [the cross].

Those who are outside a relational fellowship with a gathering of believers
waiting for God to violate His own promises and principles,
 are disobedient to His Word.  


Are you connected with the Body by gathering with believers?
If not, it is time for you to have a change of mind and heart.
God calls the spiritual condition of rebellion..."stiff-neckedness."
God will forgive you.  But, it is you who must take the first action step.
 

   Jesus said,  He would build His church and the gates of Hell would not prevail against it. 
   We need to grasp the fact that the Church is to be BUILT!
   What do we build with..not sticks, stones and mortar. 
   The church is spiritual.  It is a living dynamic Body filled with the Eternal Spirit of God!
We are spiritual beings.  The gifts for building are spiritual.
 It takes both the spiritual and the physical to build.


Awesome acts of God are released into our lives as we learn to serve
through fellowship in the Holy Spirit and in unity with others.
Edification is achieved both in the spirit and the physical realms.
Let us build personal and spiritual relationships face to face
as well as through the virtual world.
Find a spirit filled, spirit guided fellowship
in which to serve and grow experientially.

=======================================

  Here is a list of scriptures to reveal the essential principles and skills required for
  effective leadership and spiritual guidance of fellowship.
   Matt. 28:16-20      Gal. 6:1-10      Mark 2:2-12      James 5:13-16
   Acts 1:4-5              Mark 1:35      Romans 12:1      1 Peter 3:15
  1 Cor. 10:31           1 Cor. 12
  The church is to be built on God's principles and not on men's trends. 

  We do not see responsibility given to only one individual to fulfill the Great Commission.
  There is power in coming together as an Apostolic-Prophetic TEAM. 
  God commands the blessing when we come together to fellowship in Christ.!  (see Psalm 133)
=======================================

  Let us now summarize the Principle challenges of administrating the Great Command we have
   been studying.

  1. Focus:  Strenghtening existing disciples within the ministry before going forth
   to "find" new disciples.
   The spiritual strength and maturity of the church must be developed first. 
   If not, there is not the ability or maturity to reach out.   
   You are encouraged to Seek the Light of Truth, Light of Life and Light of the Holy Spirit
   in the web pages of HGMI.   

  2.  Leadership:  Training and discipling people.
  We cannot do the work of God until we are the people of God.
  We encourage everyone to share their moment of encounter with Christ.
  In spiritual language it is called conversion from the powers of the world of darkness into His
  marvelous Light!  Everyone who has entered the Kingdom of God through Christ and live in Him
  has had this experience.   As such, we are "born of the Spirit"... "born again."

 John 10:7-9 AMP
  So Jesus said again, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that I Myself am the Door for the sheep.
  8 All others who came [as such] before Me are thieves and robbers, but the [true] sheep did not listen
  to and obey them.

  9 I am the Door; anyone who enters in through Me will be saved (will live). He will come in and he will
  go out [freely], and will find pasture.


  We must work from clarity of Scriptural principles and not men's designs.
  Spiritual gifts and roles must be determined.  We must be ready for changes in what God is doing
  in our midst and the earth and equip for those changes.
=======================================

  Note: A great change of relational experiences are now internet related due to the advances
  in technology and the shifts in cultural values and economic pressures.
  Be a part of this exciting work of the Holy Spirit. 
  Please make it a point to visit City of Lights frequently. 
  God is raising it up as one of the most dynamic ministries in the virtual sphere
  of the world wide web.     Great changes are coming!
  Great exploits will be experienced!
  Great relationships are being established for the purposes of God!

=======================================

  3.  Management:  The church is a living organism (Christ's Body) made up with different personality
       types all incorporating into a "group mentality"...the mind of Christ / mind of the Spirit. 
      Within the Church universal, we must be adaptive to achieve our purposes within the workings
      of the Word and Holy Spirit.

  4.  Decision Making:  Making decisions based on the Word of God and the character of our Lord
      and not on personal agendas or "mental or political" motives. Work to effectively establish unifying
      goals... to  anticipate and adapt to change, to encourage leadership initiatives and to ensure good
     stewardship practices.

  5.  Communications:  Communicating is a top priority for building successful relationships. 
        Effective means of communication need to be established in order to connect the church's
        purposes with a leaders Holy Spirit inspired vision and intentions. 
       There must be specific channels and means to bring information and encouragement
        to others connected in the works of Apostolic-Prophetic TEAMS.

  6.  Growth:   As the capacity of leaders develop to effective training and discipling others to do
       the ministries, the whole vision is blessed with increase.  The vision is that of Christ's Great
       Commission!  The potential for spiritual and participant growth is magnified.

  Within these applications of church building,  needs will be met and the spiritual gifts
  effectively used.
  Teaching, Worship, and Prayer all empower people through the work of the Holy Spirit to the glory
  of Jesus Christ. When the Body is allowed to be what it is meant to be, prejudice and fears are
  nullified.  We become a powerful force for the Kingdom of Heaven on earth, walking and having
  our being in His Kingdom of Light!
Galatians  6:8 AMP
  For he who sows to his own flesh (lower nature, sensuality) will from the flesh reap decay and ruin
  and destruction, but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
 

   Remember:  God is the Blesser, the Increaser and the Multiplier.
Harvest is the results!
         Harvest is created out of the seed planted in fertile ground.  It dies. 
It is resurrected into new life
                     by the "Waters"of the Holy Spirit and the "Patterns" of Jesus Christ.

You have dominion as to where, how, when, what or if you sow.
Only you can sow into your future harvest.
Your future is decided by Who you have chosen to believe.
What you believe will determine your life's directions and accomplishments.
