Hello Everyone,
I am so excited about the Awakening the Church teaching. I have it sealed upon my heart. If you stand on the mountain top and look out you can see a glorious and powerful move of God. Amen!! When I first attended the National Awakening event and heard John Mulinde speak, I kept saying, Lord these are words of confirmation that you have been speaking to me: the need for repentant hearts that starts with us first, for the church to Awaken and come out of their slumber, and to rise up and take your place in the Army of God! The battle is the Lord's and the VICTORY is in Christ Jesus; we are the willing vessels, submissive and obedient servants and co-labourers with Christ Jesus. Let us rest in him.
I had my first small group class last night in my home as we went through the first four lessons. I can already see the Holy Spirit stirring up hearts. The Lord is so faithful to show up. I set up a specific room and prayed before the students arrived and anointed the chairs asking the Holy Spirit to have his way. The lessons went as planned and we also ended promptly on time. I allowed three hours for the meeting so we had 15 minutes to fellowship before and another 15 minute break in between, leaving us with 2.5 hours of teaching and prayer time. The participants appreciated the fact that the course started and ended on time.
Also, I developed handouts for various exercises found in lessons 1-4. For example, under lesson one it talks about how God created the church to be many things and gives 1-8 explanations and many scriptures that follow. I listed each 1-8 point and inserted each referenced scripture. Another example, under lesson 3, Why Awaken? The Time is Growing Late there is an exercise about what kind of people we need to be and on what we should not be like. I did the same and listed the passages for them on a handout so we could follow along and read together. I noticed as they went through the passages under 1 Timothy 3:1-5 that they were examining their selves and they also asked questions about what some of these things meant: for example what does it mean to be a truce breaker. They all commented how appreciative they were that I typed these handouts with all of the scriptures and how it saved them valuable time. I would like to offer these handouts to any of the leaders that want them.
You may e-mail me at kingdomofstrategy@gmail.com and I will send to you. I am going to do the same for the other lessons as they come up. All in all, I am excited about the teaching and can not wait to see how God is going to use each and every person for His works. Blessings to each of you.
