The Pioneering Church

We’re so grateful for the pioneers and revivalists of the past but God is calling those in this generation to help bring His kingdom to earth!
To the level we honor God, is the level that we’ll experience His glory. And the way we honor, is the way we’ll perceive Him! For that reason Joshua and Caleb were able to make it through to the end. Despite the giants they faced, despite standing out from the crowd, and despite the battles, they always knew how to Honor God.We have been called to pioneer in this generation but that will come with a few challenges:1. Pioneering will cause us to breakout of old mindsets, that keep us trapped in Egypt.2. God might not give us the full picture but the giants in our promise land were left behind so we can lean on God.3. Sometimes God allows things so that He can prepare us for endurance. Because it is our character that produces hope!4. God is not creating slaves. He is creating sons because sons get to be a part of the journey.Know that it’ll be hard. Deliverance was instant but freedom is a process that will cost us everything! Don’t quit in the middle of stepping into your promise land because of the giants you’ve seen but embrace the spirit of love, power, and a sound mind.Application: Where in your life did you stop because you saw “giants” that seemed unconquerable to you? How can you begin to see the God of the giants in that situation today?Prayer: Father, I thank you for the spirit of love, power & a sound mind that will help me get through the wilderness into the next season. I pray that I leave old habits and mindsets behind and that I will press into you through the pain. I want to pioneer for you! In Jesus name, Amen.

Do we want to become more like Jesus Christ? Is there a passion to look more like Him?

When we receive Jesus something new takes place for us, in us, and as us. Christ wants to be the Center of our entire life. When He gets in all of who we are everything changes, but we have to be willing to give Him access to our entire being. Christian's these days don't want to go through anything. We don't want to endure; but if Jesus endured the cross, as His followers we will have to go through somethings because being a Christian ultimately means we will have to become pioneers but as pioneers we have to remember the following..If Christ is bold, I can be.

If Christ is courageous, I can be.

If Christ is compassionate, on I can be.

If Christ is creative, I can be.

If Christ is endurance, I can be.

If Christ is humble, I can be.

If Christ is persevere, 1 can be.

If Christ is passion for the lost, I can be.

If Christ is greatness, I can be.Ultimately, pioneering our life will be a lonely journey.

Don't be afraid of going some place alone and position our life to partner with God instead bringing along an Aaron that will eventually mess things up. Remember that God called us for great things and don't forget to dream and believe again for us and our family!

APPLICATION:

Do you want to make a difference more than you want to make it big? Do you long to be like the David's and Daniel's of old or are you okay with just being a part of the crowd?

PRAYER:

Father, I thank you so much for giving me a pioneering spirit. I pray that you give me strength to endure and show me that there is more to life than what I see. I want your kingdom come and your will to be done in and through my life! In Jesus name, Amen.

We were formed by God. We may look like our parents but we have The Fathers heart and calling in us. Some of us have been told that we were an accident. But God doesn’t make mistakes. Before God formed us in the womb. He molded us and carved out who we were. He designed us way before we were even a thought in our parents mind.God designed us and designed our destiny at the same time. If we don’t fit in, it’s because God designed us to be set apart. He made us different so we can seek for something greater than us. By not fitting in God reminds us of who we aren’t, so we can discover who we are. The more we compare ourselves to others, the more we’ll fail to be who we’re called. God put a call and destiny in our life not to fit in, so we can become leaders and pioneers.When you’re walking in the kingdom mindset you should know…

1. Christ FOR you. He loves you at ALL times. His love is not bases on us, it’s based on Him.
2. Christ IN you. We invite Him into every part of our life, good and bad.
3. Christ ON you. Instead of putting on our old and dirty clothes. It’s time to wear and put on Christ.

When we’re in Christ we become everything He is. When we’re in Christ, He doesn’t see our failures because He turns them into our testimony. We need to put on the armor of Christ everyday. The armor is not some religious stuff, the armor of is Jesus, so we can’t forget to put ON Christ.Application:
Do you currently feel like you don’t fit in? What are some things that come to mind about who God has designed you to be? Are you currently walking in all 3 of the kingdom mindsets? If not, how can you begin to do that today?Prayer:
Father, Today I receive and believe that you’re FOR me, IN me, and ON me. I ask that you remove all the dead things and become the center of my life. Thank you for not only loving me but also liking who I am. I’m ready to discover all that you designed me to be. In Jesus name, Amen.

We want to be a church that is advancing the kingdom of God and one of the ways we do that is by partnering with the vision He imparts to His children.

Nothing great in life happens with one person alone, everything that's brought into this earth takes partnership and collaboration. Even a seed needs the soil to produce fruit.

What you do in the world is and can be ministry unto God.

Your time, talent, and treasure, is more than just for you to change the world around you.

Vision gives us something to look forward to and to work towards!

Even Jesus had people that partnered with His vision the men and women who had been set free of their demons, who then chose to be a part of a ministry that's setting someone else free!
