Advance the Kingdom of God through Spirit Empowered Ministry
Have you ever had a sense that God has given you a vision of some completed project, a mission to complete, or a direction for a new chapter in life?
It might have been a multi-color vision dream, or an extremely clear mental picture of an outcome or direction.
A vision like this received in prayer can be God’s invitation for us to pray it into reality.
…On January 25, 2020, over a hundred members of the Dunamis Fellowship International dedicated and gave thanks for the renovated Log House and, in faith, to dedicate the half-finished Prayer House.
…When the Lord called my spiritual mentor Archer Torrey to build Jesus Abbey as a prayer community in South Korea, he often told me,
…“If God the Father calls you to do something that you know is His will but is humanly impossible, then expect the Lord to work the miracles needed. But your role is to step out in faith, and your first work of obedience is prayer.”
One of the most wonderful results of the movement in the Holy Spirit is when a particular individual or group of people start to experience the promise found in the baptism of the Holy Spirit presented in Acts 1:4-8.
When this happens, we are brought into a place of participating with Jesus Christ to minister healing to the nations. This begins to take place in your own congregation or small group by the power of the Holy Spirit.
…The Father’s master strategy for extending the Gospel to all nations and people on earth began with wave upon wave of the Holy Spirit to advance the Kingdom of God to all humanity starting in Jerusalem, and it will end with returning to Jerusalem.
…What congregation does not deal with conflict to some degree or another?
In some cases, this conflict has reached the level where the church is being split. In other cases, church leadership is in crisis due to personal and family breakdowns.
All of this is due to the very deep reality of human sin which taints every dimension of human life, and every human institution, including the Church of Jesus Christ.
…Prayer is vital for the fulfillment of vision. But so, too, is human action that works to enact the vision.
The participation of God brought down by prayer is like rain falling on an unsown field; the field has to be sown and cultivated to bring forth fruit.
Christians constantly err in this matter. They either emphasize works so much that they neglect prayer, or they put so much emphasis on prayer that they fail to labor for the vision.
In either case, vision does not move toward fulfillment and our prayers do not shape the future.
…Thank you for participating in this adventure with God!
On July 9th, long time supporters of PRMI offered a matching gift to raise the money needed to finish the Log House. They have pledged to match every dollar given between July 9 and August 10, up to $50,000.
We announced this to our Board and to you via email newsletter last week.
Through the early morning of July 19, $24,435 has been given.
…Here is one of those urgent times – a Kairos moment — when some things must happen now if a Kingdom work is to be fulfilled in the future.
We need your help in praying in enough financial gifts to complete the renovation of the Log House at the Community of the Cross by of August 2019.
A generous donor has offered a $50,000 matching gift if we raise $50,000 by August 10, 2019 for the Log House.
…Brad Long shares an important milestone that happened early June 2019 regarding the building of the Prayer House at the Community of the Cross.
…How does God answer prayer?
How might I recognize that God is answering my prayer?
How will I know that God has answered my prayer?
…Forty days after Easter we celebrate Ascension Day, the day when Jesus returned in glory to His Father.
Just before leaving His disciples on that day, Jesus promised that He would send the Holy Spirit to empower them to be His witnesses (Acts 1:4,5,8).
Ten days later on Pentecost, this promise was fulfilled.
The Holy Spirit was poured out and the disciples were baptized with the Spirit.
Do you need to pray to be “Baptized with the Holy Spirit”?
Or do you need to pray to be “Filled with the Holy Spirit?”
Or are you just fine the way you are?
…There are many dimensions to building the Prayer House at the Community of the Cross.
First, there is the spiritual reality – which is doing the work of prayer and receiving guidance from the Holy Spirit. This is PRMI’s area!
Second, there is shaping the physical reality – the site work, water, expanding the road, and then actually building the Prayer House itself.
I was intensely aware of the Holy Spirit moving on us together to accomplish this at a meeting held at the Community of the Cross on August 22, 2018.
…
Have you ever had the awareness of God calling you into following Jesus, somehow, somewhere, but you are not really sure what it was or how you were going to get there?
It is the common experience of Christians the world over to feel nudges or leadings from the Holy Spirit into following Him.
This leading may come as a childhood dream. I used to have daydreams of being a missionary in China or following Livingstone into the jungles of Africa.
Or it may come in midlife when our children grow up and leave the nest.
Many of us find a great restlessness in our souls of “Lord what is next? What do you want me to do with my life?” That restlessness may be the beginnings of a call. …
