EMBRACING A LIFESTYLE OF KINGDOM ADVANCEMENT

When we walk in a lifestyle of evangelism and equipping the saints we won't have to think about the "where and how" of sharing the love of Jesus with people – they will naturally find us! The key to the results you want to see is allowing Kingdom advancement to become who you are instead of simply what you do. Here are two questions we need to answer as born-again believers:

Do I understand my identity in Christ?

What is God's PURPOSE for my life?

KEEPING OUR EYES ON THE LOVE OF JESUS THROUGH US

Acts 26:18 - "to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me."

As we go throughout the day, we meditate on the love of Jesus flowing into our heart as our heart soaks in it, and through us attracts and influences unbelievers towards wanting to know more about Christ and salvation.

God is looking to remove any potential interference that will impair the establishment of His Great Commission. To do this, he has forgiven all our sins (past, present, and future) so that we are always in right standing with God and always available to disciple, equip, and send out warriors to do battle with and displace the kingdom of darkness.

As His ambassadors, when we share the Good News, we are not just trying to "fill the pews" and pile more people into church, but to equip new believers to be effective in bearing fruit that remains for God's advancing Kingdom on earth. Our ultimate goal is to offer Him an inheritance of children and give people a place in a divinely appointed family. Once we taste of His love, we will consistently release it to disciple those around us until the earth begins to look like Heaven. This is exactly what Jesus did.

STOKING THE BURNING FIRE

The prophet, according to Jeremiah 20:9, had a fire shut up in His bones that He could not contain: "But His Word was in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, and I could not."

That fire – the Word of the Lord – was what motivated Jeremiah, and we Believers of today, to go and pursue measurable Kingdom advancement!

Jesus chastised the Church of Ephesus for just one thing – they lost their first love. They lost that passion – that fire in their bones, if you will – that has dimmed due to distraction, discouragement, and adversity.

As we come to understand our Christ identity and burn brightly for Jesus without conforming to religious molds, we step out of spiritual weariness into the anointing that has so freely been given to us – ready to disciple others into their Christ identity, right standing with God, and walking in the Spirit, so they will be empowered to change the way people think about their Christ potential, thereby bringing forth the Great Commission.

Rekindle your passion, whatever it takes!

STEPPING INTO HIS ANOINTING AND GLORY

"Go…and see what the land is, and whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, whether they are few or many, and whether the land that they dwell in is good or bad, and whether the cities that they dwell are camps or strongholds, and whether the land is rich or poor, and whether there are trees in it or not. Be of good courage and bring some of the fruit of the land." - Numbers 13:18-20

Caleb was a giant-slayer in his spirit before he physically conquered any giants. We read the account of the twelve spies scouting out the Promised Land for forty days.

Sometimes, God is telling us to go forth into areas ordained for us to go. He goes before us to make a way, and we have a choice to make in that pivotal moment. We have to decide if we are going to partner with God and be of good courage, or if we are going to partner with our flesh and the voice of the enemy.

ANOINTING, GLORY AND EVERLASTING FRUITFULNESS

The majority of the spies saw themselves as grasshoppers, but Caleb initiated the dream of being a giant-slayer.

Our perception will determine our level of victory, and it can affect generations following us. The vision goes beyond us, and if it does not then we have not adopted God's dream and God's vision.

Perception will deceive you into believing you have lost when you are already promised victory. We have His anointing and His glory, and we are to BEAR EVERLASTING FRUITFULNESS when we abide in the Vine that is Christ. We are to disciple, equip, and send out warriors to slay the giants and to take the land for God.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF SPIRIT

Caleb refused to bow to fear and intimidation. He believed God's calling on his life to lead Israel into the Promised Land. God said of Caleb: "Because he has a different spirit and has followed Me fully, I will bring him into the land into which he went, and his descendants shall possess it" - Numbers 14:24.

We are called to have a different spirit about us – the spirit of victory as we continually bear fruit for God’s advancing Kingdom through our Christ calling.

We were not created by a God with a grasshopper complex. When you see through the eyes of fire, your perspective changes, and you begin to see that God is using you to disciple a lineage of giant-slayers and history-makers.

The next generation is being called forth as God sees them and not how we perceive them or what the world says about them. Mature believers and wise parents will desire for the next generation to grab the torch, take up the mantle, and run with the vision. Giant-slayers will produce giant-slayers because they answer the call of God to apprehend victory over the kingdom of darkness, replacing it with God's Everlasting Kingdom.

As we walk in our Godly CALLING in Christ, we declare ourselves to be giant-slayers in the spirit and to mentor a generation. We have the Caleb anointing to walk in unwavering faith and demonstration of the Word of God for a David generation. Naysayers sow nothing but discord and death, but giant slayers make history with God.

Affirmations:

I walk worthy of the Lord - I am fruitful because I live outside of myself and into the spiritual development of other believers so they can be effective in changing the way people think about their Christ potential to bring forth the Great Commission.

I curse those things that don’t bear fruit for God in my life. (Mark 11:12)

I disciple Believers in season and out of season. I reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all patience others in their Christ identity and their right standing with God. ( 2 Timothy 4:2)
