OUR CULTURE
CULTURE OF HEAVEN
Reflected in the cornerstones of our church, these five truths comprise the foundation of heaven's culture.
1. God is Good
God is a perfectly good Father. Everything good and perfect comes from Him and there's nothing that can change that.
2. Nothing is Impossible
With God, nothing is impossible, so we live with great faith in action.
3. The Cross Accomplished Everything
Everything we'll ever need was dealt with at the cross, so we must come to a place of trusting Him in everything.
4. Everyone is Significant
God has made each of us significant and valuable, so we must serve well.
KEYS TO HEARING GOD'S VOICE
Reflected in the cornerstones of our church, these five truths comprise the foundation of heaven's culture.
1. Stillness
Quiet yourself in the Lord's presence and quiet your mind so you can hear God's voice.
2. Spontaneity
Recognize and tune in to God's voice as spontaneous thoughts which light upon your mind.
3. Vision
Look for vision as you pray - fix your eyes on being together with Jesus in a comfortable Gospel setting.
4. Journal
Write down the flow of thoughts and pictures that come to you.*
*MAKE SURE YOU ARE SHARING YOUR TWO-WAY JOURNALING WITH 2 OR 3 SPIRITUAL ADVISORS.
PRAYER EVANGELISM
As illustrated in Luke 10:5-9, for godliness to increase in a city, we must change the city's spiritual climate.
1. Bless (Speak peace to them)
We need to declare peace because we may have been at war with the lost, so bless, don't blast or curse.
2. Fellowship (Eat with them)
Two-way fellowship provides an opportunity to show unconditional acceptance by accepting people how they are instead of how we want them to be.
3. Minister (Take care of their needs)
Letting the lost know you are praying for their felt needs touches them at the heart level and opens the door for God's heart to be shown and salvation.
4. Proclaim ("The Kingdom of God has come!")
By gradually improving the spiritual climate, people will feel safe in approaching. We can then explain that it is the Kingdom of God that has come near to them.
REIGN IN LIFE
There are four things that trouble mankind and hinder Christian growth. Although letting go of the past may be difficult,"...I forget all of the past as I fasten my heart to the future instead. I run straight for the divine invitation of reaching the heavenly goal and gaining the victory-prize through the anointing of Jesus." (Philippians 3:13-14 TPT)
WE REIGN OVER:
1. Shame
Painful emotion caused by consciousness of shortcoming or wrongdoing.
2. Guilt
A gnawing distress that arises from a sense of remorse for past wrongs (from the root meaning "to bite again).
3. Bitterness
Anger and disappointment at being treated unfairly; resentment.
4. Regret
To be deeply sorry for mistakes or An expression of distressing emotion..
