Raising Up A Standard Apostolic Ministries

Isaiah 62:10...Lift up a standard for the people.

Welcome


THE HIGH CALLING

If God has called you to be really like Jesus in all your spirit, He will draw you into a life of crucifixion and humility, and put on you such demands of obedience, that He will not allow you to follow other Christians, and in many ways He will seem to let other good people do things which He will not let you do. Other Christians and ministers who seem very religious and useful may push themselves, pull wires, and work schemes to carry out their plans, but you cannot do it; and if you attempt it, you will meet with such failure and rebuke from the Lord as to make you sorely penitent. Others can brag on themselves, on their work, on their success, on their writings, but the Holy Spirit will not allow you to do any such thing, and if you begin it, he will lead you into some deep mortification that will make you despise yourself and all your good works.

Others will be allowed to succeed in making great sums of money, or having a legacy left to them or in having luxuries, but God may supply you daily, because He wants you to have something far better than gold, and that is a helpless dependence on him, that He may have the privilege of providing your needs day by day out of the unseen treasury.

The Lord may let others be honored, and put forward, and keep you hid away in obscurity, because He wants to produce some choice, fragrant fruit for His coming glory, which can only be produced in the shade.

God will let others be great, but keep you small. He will let others do a work for Him, and get the credit for it, but He will make you work and toil on without knowing how much you are doing; and then to make your work still more precious, He will let others get the credit for the work which you have done, and this will make your reward ten times greater when Jesus comes. The Holy Spirit will put a strict watch on you, with a jealous love, and will rebuke you for little words and feelings or for wasting your time, which other Christians never seem distressed over.

So make up your mind that God is an infinite Sovereign, and has a right to do as He pleases with His own, and He will not explain to you a thousand things which may puzzle your reason in His dealing with you. God will take you at your word; and if you absolutely sell yourself to be His slave. He will wrap you up in a jealous love, and let other people say and do many things that you cannot do or say. Settle it forever, that you are to deal directly with the Holy Spirit, and that He is to have the privilege of tying your tongue, or chaining your hand, or closing your eyes, in ways that others are not dealt with.

Now when you are so possessed with the loving God that you are, in your secret heart, pleased and delighted over this peculiar, personal, private, jealous guardianship and management of the Holy Spirit over your life, you will have found the entrance of heaven. (Author Unknown)

I want to apologize for the incomplete message but my batteries in my keyboard died.

To Continue--I know that one of the ministries I mentioned has their Church in a mud building that is literally falling down around them. It would be my greatest thrill if I could find some organization that assists these type ministries with supplies, building a Church or anything else that would aide their ministries. If you know of any please let me know.

I enjoyed your writing very much and agree wholeheartedly.
Congratulations to your children and their opportunities to study and minister in other countries. It would have to be very rewarding.
I have never been to any foreign countries other than Canada, Puerto Rico and the American Virgin Islands. This year I have been making friends on line and have become friends with one minister in India and another in Africa. I really enjoy their sermons and the friendship they both show even though it must really be tough ministering Christianity in Muslim countries.

What do you think about the need for more teaching and training in the church?
The Church at large not only needs to train and teach but they need to accomplish the "Releasement" of the disciples to Go Forth! It is time to stop making pew warmers and start producing "Risk Takers" and "Revolutionists" for the Kingdom of Yashua! God is into "Multiplication".....It is time to stop thinking about building your own kingdom and build His Kingdom! We need to make disciples not converts!

Learn to Listen and You Might Be Surprised By What You Hear

Recently, when consulting with a megachurch leadership team, I was reminded of how important listening skills are for pastors and ministers to really connect with the people they are ministering to.

Can you find joy in the success of another leader?

Nothing tests a leader more than to realize that God is going to elevate someone on their team to a higher position in the organizational chart or that God is going to move them down in the organizational chart. Read 1 Samuel 18:1 and chapter 20 and 23:15-18. Normally a king’s son would do everything [...]

Managing Transitions

Leading change is one of the most difficult and important tasks of leadership. Yet it is something God calls each of his leaders to do. God came to Moses and told him they he and Israel had been going around the same mountain long enough and that it was time to "break camp and advance" into their future (see Deut.1:6-7)[...]

Rotten on the Inside

"I've come to see institutional decline like a disease: harder to detect but easier to cure in the early stages; easier to detect but harder to cure in the later stages.
