A Call To Active Intimacy With God 10 The Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God...12 we have received...the Spirit...that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. (1 Cor. 2:10-12) A. The Bridegroom Message is a call to active intimacy with God. The Bridal Message speaks of God’s invitation for us to experience the deep things of His heart (emotions and affections). To enjoy active intimacy with Jesus includes feeling His heart for us and others. The Bridal Message also speaks of experiencing Jesus’ emotions (desires and priorities). 18 You may be able to comprehend…. the width and length and depth and height-- to know the love of Christ... (Eph 3:18-19) B. To understand Jesus as a passionate - Bridegroom is to soon see ourselves as a cherished Bride. Intimacy causes our hearts to be lovesick for Jesus (inflamed; enraptured; overcome by His love). This prophecy emphasizes that we will “call out” in two different directions. Fir...

Apostolic Pre-Millennialism A. We use the term “apostolic” as an adjective to describe the vision, values, and perseverance (in persecution) of the New Testament Church, as raised up under the leadership of the first century apostles. In other words, Apostolic Christianity embraces a New Testament lifestyle. B. “Apostolic eschatology” speaks of a view of the End-Times that reflects the vision, power and lifestyle of the New Testament Apostolic Church. Apostolic eschatology will equip believers for apostolic (New Testament) lifestyles and perspectives in the midst of the coming great revival and persecution. I refer to apostolic eschatology as “Apostolic Pre-Tribulation/Pre-Millennialism.” This view calls the Church to victory, wholeheartedness and relevance in the midst of gross darkness. C. Apostolic Christianity or New Testament Christianity will emerge in the End-Times as the Spirit raises up a victorious Church that operates in unprecedented unity, intimacy and matu...

There is a subtle - but noticeable fear amongst many leaders in the Body of Christ, about the isolation and stigmitization of speaking-out against sin.  If the leader appears to be righteously indignant towards sins that could possibly communicate intolerance for things that may be generally acceptable or culturally prevalent , any vocal disagreement seems to characterize some level of hypocrisy , prejudice and  perverted judgment - and no one wants "Cain's mark" to be associated with their names. Hypocrisy because, every leader has some "issue" their dealing with - "so who are they to talk!" Prejudice because, every leader "values and devalues" based upon personal preference and experience without thoroughly investigating what they choose to judge - unless their completely resigned to give God first place in every area of their hearts and lives. Perverted judgment because, many leaders choose which things they'll "deal...

Every believer who is a part of the Kingdom of God should have an " Action Plan for Living a Life of Gratitude, Fulfillment and Abundance!"   Many men of God, including Pastor Robert Morris of Gateway Church in Texas, calls this "The Blessed Life". I remember when I first began reading his book...I was sitting in the hospital room with my beloved wife during the last sixty-days of her life. I remember how overwhelmingly blessed I felt, despite the numerous cancer battles we'd previously experienced over a twelve-year period - and the present battle we were currently in. My wife's nurse was such a beautiful Russian-Jewish lady, who had the sweetest countenance, and cared for Charlene with the utmost dignity and thoughtfulness; even during these very difficult times, where being totally incontinent and unable to take care for herself on many different levels, was absolutely heartbreaking. As I sat in that bright and beautiful private hospital room ...

WHY IS THIS (An Apostolic House in Theology) SO IMPORTANT? DISCLAIMER:   The APOSTOLIC FUNCTION in the UNIVERSAL CHURCH operates under “the” INEXHAUSTIBLE HEADSHIP of JESUS CHRIST, and it is the explicit obedience of HIS Children to the Spirit’s leading that serves as the basis for effective, productive, and supernatural ministry in the earth! APOSTOLIC HOUSE IN THEOLOGY IS “NOT”: 1. Replacing or fulfilling the role of the twelve disciples (apostles) of the 1st century church. “Title-frenzy pursuits” surrounding the apostolic function are about self-promotion and the flesh. 2. Adding to or writing “new scripture” passages to the Canon of Scripture, in any way. 3.  Dominating or lording-over society in any way. But, through servant leadership, love, compassion, and truth serving the world by the grace of Almighty God. APOSTOLIC HOUSE IN THEOLOGY “IS”: The Function of the apostolic ministry in the Body works in tandem with the Five-Fold Ministry Gifts that prioritizes IDENTITY ,...

"My heart for you has unending provisions, impenetrable protection, and unbridled passion to see you mightily prosper! The righteous are NEVER forsaken, and the trust that I require of sincere disciples and followers of Mine is authenticated by and through biblical faith, without the need for unnecessary explorations or heart searching - that mirrors the escapade of Peter and the disciples during their fishing expedition following the crucifixion of Jesus. There are many times, based upon the appearance of things, you are at a complete disadvantage! It seems that I've permitted your captivity or imprisonment, but I've only strategically introduced the door or opportunity that I will use to open a whole new dimensional reality of My timely provisions - and I release understanding as the heart simply focuses on what's most important; seeking My Kingdom first. Jesus instructing them from the shore on "where to fish", which had direct implications on the ...

There is a place "in Me" that acts as a supporting foundation in holistic development that requires seasons of isolated-shaping that is not meant to appear exclusive or divisive to others; but an ordained hidden place in Me away from others, where no interference or interruption can keep you from the intimacy that I purpose for and with you. When your unclear where I'm taking you exactly - beyond the general expectation of my goodness that every disciple should have; there tends to be a frustration in developmental process towards progress, because the mind and the imagination is in a constant search to know what's next... The daydreaming and imaginings that can turn into worry, if NOT influenced by the Word of God, are normal in the scheme of sojourning in this life; but covetousness and carelessness are common - for even the most committed saint because the heart is deceitful above all things. When the feelings of deprivation and loneliness begin to consume the ...
