Our mission is to see heaven invade earth and to experience the kingdom of God now.
We have been empowered by the Holy Spirit and we arise as a people to demonstrate our faith, believing that we are His Church.
“Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.” 1 Corinthians 12:27,28
As individual living stones in His Church, we embrace a kingdom heart by choosing to do not our will but the Father’s will, on earth as it is in heaven. Jesus embraced the Holy Spirit and His Father’s kingdom. Everywhere He went, He preached and demonstrated that the kingdom of heaven is at hand by the power of the Holy Spirit.
“. . .Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know . . .” Acts 2:22
Theology alone has not enabled us to complete the assignment that Jesus gave to us over 2000 years ago. The great commission has not been accomplished through our vast resources or personnel. To see the kind of breakthrough that Jesus prayed for, we must love what Jesus loved and believe Him at His word, see John 17.
Our delight is in doing His will on earth, and believing that the Father has called each one of His sons and daughters to co-labor in love to accomplish and fulfill the ministry that Jesus began on earth.
It is time for a revolution in our churches, in our individual lives, in our cities and nations. By Jesus’ authority, we have been given the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Jesus was given all authority in heaven and on earth to advance the kingdom of heaven.
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying,
“All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen.” Matthew 28: 18-20
We’ve received a commission and a kingdom command by our King to go labor with Him to bring heaven’s rule and reign throughout the earth. As ambassadors we live in one world while representing another, for our citizenship is in heaven, for which we eagerly await our Lord Jesus Christ.
“… For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able to subdue all things to Himself...” Philippians 3:20
This means that the kingdom of heaven is not just our eternal destination but also is a present reality and is only a hand’s breadth away. God promises that ever place that the sole of our feet tread upon, He has given us. Being ambassadors of the kingdom of our God, we take the culture of our country (heaven) and the currency of that kingdom (faith) and by His power, He superimposes His kingdom over this earthly kingdom. We have the privilege of representing God’s kingdom to this world so that He might bring a manifestation of heaven to earth and all the King’s resources are at our fingertips through prayer, to carry out His will.
We Seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness first.
“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Mathew 6:33
Our hunger is that the Lordship of Jesus Christ would be seen in us and through all circumstances in our individual and corporate lives. As the Kingdom of God collides with this world, it brings with it, His answer to our spiritual, relational, and material needs, and prevails in our (His) fight against darkness. We desperately cry out loud “Come Lord Jesus, reveal your Father’s kingdom of power and not only words…for the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power…” 1 Corinthians 4:20
We can and must know the God of the bible through and by experience.
We desire to be filled with all the fullness of God and for our hearts and minds to be transformed to the mind of Christ.
