KINGDOM POWER!

28. September, 2013IAM InternationalNo comments

The  majority of preaching done in the name of the Lord Jesus today is without the power of Holy Spirit!!   This is not the way the Lord intended it to be.  Many “main line” denominations have developed doctrines to explain this obvious discrepancy.  However, regardless of the rationale, it’s absurd to think that we can be effective without the power of Holy Spirit confirming the preaching of God’s Word. If Jesus and the early apostles needed their preaching validated, so do we?

New Wineskin

New Wineskin

The first miracle Jesus performed was turning water into wine at a wedding ( John 2: 1- 11 ).  Just prior to His glorious return for His  Bride, He will again pour out the new wine. But there must needs be a new wineskin to hold it, so the container won’t burst and the wine wasted ( Math. 9: 17, Mark 2: 22 and Luke 5: 37 ). The new wineskin will be what God’s ultimate plan for the Church has always been: A Body subject to the Head in every detail; totally filled, led and controlled by His Spirit, in complete unity and agreement with His mind- not man’s ways ( Is. 55: 8 + 9 ). It won’t be church as usual. He is doing a new thing globally by the Spirit, and we need to know and cooperate with it. We must be seeking and building His Kingdom, not our own, and work together to see its manifestation. When the new wineskin is in place, then the Great Commission will be fulfilled swiftly. Not by our might nor power, but by His Spirit!

Acts 3: 19- 21 speaks of the complete restoration of all things before the Lord’s return. When the Church was first birthed in Holy Ghost power on the Day of Pentecost, Jesus gave gifts to men. The Early Church operated in apostolic power and authority, and there was great multiplication and increase. Observers said that they were full of new wine ( Acts 2: 13 ). Signs, wonders and miracles were the norm, and the Gospel was spread throughout the then-known world. Angels were working alongside the saints, with frequency and regularity. God had a set order, established by the  apostles and other ministry gifts equipping supernaturally the believers to do the greater works ( Eph. 4: 1- 16 ). God chose, appointed and anointed those  who were fore-ordained to lead His move. When there were disputes, the leadership made decisions after consulting with God , not people’s opinions.

Just as Aaron’s rod budded and bore fruit to prove who God’s choice was, in this move only those who are under the spout where the Glory pours out will be beautiful and fruitful ( Numbers Chapter 17 ). God will supernaturally demonstrate His favor upon His selection of leadership. He is a God of order,  not of confusion. We must be aligned in the authority sandwich, if we desire the mighty miracles and breakthroughs that we need. God is the Author of all  authority. The centurion could operate in the greatest faith because he understood this principle ( Math. 8: 5- 13 and Luke 7 : 1- 10 ). Everyone in the Body needs to be under God’s authority and plugged in where He places them, for the whole to work as a unit. Those who criticize God’s anointed and want to  exalt themselves need to be corrected, lest what happened to Miriam comes to pass in their life ( Numbers Chapter 12 , Deut. 24: 8 + 9, Ps. 105: 15 ).  People that resist God’s plan may experience the same fate as the sorcerer in Acts 13. It would be the blind leading the blind. God is not an idiot! He knows  what He’s doing and Father knows best. When someone is promoted in God, we need to rejoice and get behind them- not allow jealousy and a critical spirit to  fight against God.

We must have leadership who hear from heaven and obey promptly in this hour. Fear of man brings a snare. If we want to be on the winning team, we must war in the spirit- not the flesh. We must get behind what God is doing and support His agenda, not our own. IT’s time to align- find our place and do what we’re called to do under His appointed leadership. That’s the way for each of us to walk in our divine destiny as mature sons of God. We will grow into all we’re supposed to be, as all the five-fold ministers working together perfect us. Otherwise there is unbalance. All streams will converge into the mighty river of God. Then all opposition will be swept away by the Spirit ( Is. 59: 19 Amp.)

The new wineskin will look like this. God’s order is shown in I Cor. 12: 28. The Church is being built by Jesus. He is the Chief Cornerstone. Upon Him, the apostles and prophets are laying the foundation ( Eph. 2: 13- 22 ). A restored church will have the five-fold ministry working in unity under the guidance and authority of true apostles and anointed prophets- not ” do-your-own-thing ministry international”. Submission is a good Bible word. Over and over again, God reiterates His principles of submission. If we submit to God, then we can resist the devil and he will flee ( James 4: 7 ). When the Body of Christ gets positioned, we will all walk in the victory God designs. Cities and nations shall fall in a day to the Lordship of Christ. The world has never yet seen the united army Joel prophesied: each one walking in their place- not thrusting each other through ( Joel 2: all and 3: 9- 21 ). The mountains will drop down new wine when the wine-skin is prepared . We’ll experience the double restoration and new wine promised in Zech. 9: 11- 17, when we align with God’s plans. When we are faithful in another man’s ministry, God can promote us ( Luke 16: 10 + 12 ) . But not if we are rebellious and impatient. Not if we are back-biting and
cursing the ones sent to perfect us ( Heb. 13: 7 + 17 ). The religious and the antichrist spirit were continuously challenging Jesus’ authority. The Holy  Spirit is not divided. He is the New Wine which will be poured out into the vessels of God who are subject to Him. A man is not crowned unless he plays
according to the rules. Many will be disqualified if they will not find their place and be faithful ( 2 Tim. 2: 5, 3: 1- 9 ).

As Acts 4: 31- 37 and 5: 12- 14 show, the new wineskin will look like this: a church working in one accord, under God’s leadership;  Apostles and prophets showing God’s direction, with evangelists, pastors and teachers fulfilling their functions to train and equip the saints to do the work of the ministry; Everyone on board with God’s plans and purposes serving the Lord together in unity, humility and a true motive of love. Once we are one, the world will know ( John 17: 20- 23 ). And the world will won when we become true disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ. When we are one, the world will be won. The true and mature sons of God will be led by the Holy Spirit, recognizing His voice and walking in the Truth. He will fill them with the new wine continuously ( Eph. 5: 17 + 18 ). They will actualize their potential in God and complete the Father’s work, for the glory of Jesus Christ. God has saved the best for last ( John 2: 11 ). It is the Omega generation that shall obey and complete the task, when we become the new wine- skin of which Jesus spoke. The context in the 3 Gospels was when He spoke of the Bridegroom and His party. The glorious victorious Bride is the New Wine-skin! She’ll be filled to overflow with the Spirit, with extra oil and wine to bind up the wounds of a hurting planet ( Luke 10: 34 )! We will with one mind and one mouth glorify the Lord, knit together by the Spirit of unity, all united and experiencing the commanded blessing of Ps. 133, all the Body soaked and saturated with the anointing. The oil pours down from Jesus Christ, our High Priest, onto the shoulders of His government upon the rest of the body which is under His authority. Of the increase of His peace and Government, there shall be no ceasing ( Is. 9: 6 + 7 ). He must rule until all enemies are placed under His feet!

Pastors !

Pastors ! Will you prayerfully consider partnering with us to fulfill the Great Commission in our generation? Over 41% of the people groups of the world are as yet unreached. Our global organization goes to the nations to train and equip local leaders, who then take the Good News where it has never gone before. We need you to help us help them! These countries are hungry for supernatural impartation and many others are asking us to come, but the whole Body of Christ needs to be involved in doing the ONE thing Jesus told us to do. If you don’t yet have a connection to what the Lord is doing across the earth, PLEASE hook-up with us with a monthly donation to missions. We can’t do nations without donations! May it not be the Great Omission, but the Great Commission in Jesus’ Name!!!

A New Season for Summer 2013

27. June, 2013IAM InternationalNo comments

Hallelujah! The prophets declared a change of season for the Body of Christ and we’re in it NOW! We have experienced an increase of anointing, fruitfulness and blessing recently in our meetings with many healings, signs and wonders. Wow God- He is awesome! We are expecting the God of Increase to continue increasing, for He’s the One Who is More than Enough. Please keep our next mssion trip to Africa in prayer for all the needed finances to flow in. We want more invitations locally to teach and preach the Good News, and to ignite the Church to complete the Great Commission in this generation. We are believing for churches to partner in the vision for   I AM International for the fields are ripe. We are commanding the harvest to come in for the nations. If we sit in the pew- we’ll putrify! Awake and arise to do the stuff in the Book. Jesus is LORD over all. Let’s glorify and proclaim the fame of His Name to the ends of the earth.

YOU ARE A NEW CREATION IN CHRIST JESUS

II Cor 5: 17-21; Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all thingsare become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

IN CHRIST JESUS

ACTS 17: 28- For in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’

Beloved, if you are in Christ- every issue or circumstance you face is in Christ, so what is the problem !?!

VICTORY IN CHRIST JESUS!

14. May, 2013IAM InternationalNo comments

ROMANS 8:36-37; Even as it is written, For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we are regarded and counted as sheep for the slaughter. ^{37 )} Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors ^[a]and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us. Beloved in Christ Jesus we are not seeking victory because
we already  have it thru the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ!  Now in Christ Jesus we just enforce VICTORY!
We no longer have to ask God to bless us because He has already blessed us  at Calvary! ( Eph 1:3)
