The Call to Action and Obedience

Ryan — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:13:14 +0000

Jesus is the expressed perfect image of the Father (Hebrews 1:3).

He is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8).

He has already forgiven the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:2).

God is no longer counting man’s sins against them (2 Corinthians 5:19).

Jesus’ sacrifice was done once for all (Hebrews 7:27, Hebrews 9:28, Hebrews 10:10)

Jesus never said to cry out for revival.

He told His followers to BE revival by reviving the spiritually dead with the love and power of God (Matthew 10:7-8, Luke 10:8-9, Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:17-18).

As He is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17).

Our lives and ministries should not reflect John the Baptist, Elijah, Elisha, Anna, Paul, Peter, Job, or Mary.

Our lives and ministries should reflect Jesus if we really are going to call ourselves “Christians”.

To think that by our gathering a bunch of people together to fast, pray, and ‘cry out to God’, that we will see cities and nations comes to Christ is absolutely ludicrous…simply because Jesus NEVER said to do that!

We don’t need to ask Him to pour out His Spirit like in Joel 2, because He already did that in Acts 2 (Acts 2:16). He never came and scooped it back up.

This video is a true Call to action. It is a Call to obedience. It is a Call to fulfill the Great Commission (not a Polite Suggestion).

This video is not an attack against people or ministries. This video is an attack against a demonic mindset that has ravaged the Body of Christ and placed it in a place of disobedience, laziness, and complacency towards the commands of the Head of the Church, who is Jesus (Eph 5:23).

I love the Church enough to sound an alarm. Awake to righteousness (1 Cor 15:34), and BECOME the answer to the prayers that so many have been praying for decades.

Prayer without action is falsehood and hypocrisy.

I am simply calling the Body of Christ to actually start to do what Jesus said to do and stop focusing on things He never said to focus on.

Please actually take the time to look into these things. The life of a Biblical Christian is one of victory and overcoming the works of darkness (1 John 3:8, Rev. 12:11).

To think we can do enough works to get God to ‘move’ is the height of arrogance. The Head gives the instructions. The Body is what moves.

God is not stuck.

He already poured out His Spirit.

It is time to act accordingly.

This is a post from our friend Daniel Silva. I had to repost it.

_________________

“Feel free to pass this along. *Just a side note. This is probably going to be right in your face, but I promise I am not after you. I am after these ways of thinking that are causing people to die. If you are offended by this you will have two choices: Be happy and change the way you think. Or harden your heart to what the Bible says and continue doing what you are doing.*

Okay, so here we go: While the church spends 6 weeks on a series teaching people how to have a successful marriage, people are dying.

There is a REAL war going on outside of your church walls, and it is time to wake up to the reality of it. Church is not for learning how to have good moral standards, if that were it, I could just become a Buddhist and actually learn from people who do what they teach.

Church is for training people how to live like Jesus and do what He did. He did not walk through Jerusalem, see a sick person, smile and say, “Yahweh loves you! Here’s a brochure with Psalm 22 on it. Hope you feel better!” And go home feeling like He just shared God’s love.

That’s nice, but it is not “Christ-like”. If you would argue that, I suggest reading the Gospels to see what Christ was like. This weird, traditional “good deeds” stuff that requires no faith and no demonstration of God’s love or the Spirit’s power needs to stop, now!

I’m not judge, but how many people are actually saved in church today, or think they are saved because they said a prayer? Jesus told us what a believer looks like:

Mark 16:17-18:

“And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”

John 14:12:

“I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.”

He did not say a believer is someone who says a prayer and tries to live a good life, He said it is someone who does what He did.

I’m not saying you’re not a Christian if you haven’t ever healed a sick person, I am saying that He commanded you to heal sick people (raise the dead and cast out demons), and you need to listen.

Whether you think they will get healed or not is not the issue, the issue is being obedient to what He said to do and setting people free.

If they don’t get healed, at least you listened, and continue praying for people until they get healed. None of this “asking God” to heal people stuff, or “If it be thy will!”. Jesus didn’t do that, He spoke to the problem and told it what to do, it always listened.

I’ve considered myself a Christian for 7 years now. And ever since the beginning I’ve always done the “Yeah! This is war! Yeah! You’re going down Satan! Yeah! I’m in the Army of the Lord!” Then I’d stop and ask God to do everything.

Find me one military group who sits down and cries out to their General to do everything for them. Even in the Bible when God sent armies into battle, He would go before them, but they still went after Him.

They didn’t sit on the sidelines and say, “You started it, you can do the rest too.” It was a cooperative thing.

God went before them and they moved in after Him and conquered. God has already gone before us, Jesus said, “It is finished!”

It is our turn to act; to move in and conquer. If you think and say you are in the “Army of the Lord”, it is time to stand up and prove it, or sit down and shut up.

Because I am just now, after 7 years, realizing just how real this war is. People are really dying everywhere, and they are going to hell. Creation is getting more and more frustrated and I would go as far as saying that natural disasters are not God’s judgment on nations, they are the church’s judgment on nations for refusing to accept who they are and act like it (Romans 8:19-21 talks about that).

So now is the time. You are either a believer or you are not.

If you are, get on the battlefield and do something. If you are not, go find something else to do that is not making God out to be a lazy, powerless person who doesn’t feel like doing anything about the world’s condition.

He already dealt with the world’s condition (1 John 2:2).

It is our job to fix what is messed up.

I love you, and you are made for way more than what you are doing!

1 John 4:17:

“…in this world we are like Him.”

Peace, love, joy and freedom!”

Time to Grow Up!

Laura — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 08:24:54 +0000

In high school when I played basketball we started training and got in shape before the season started. We didn’t wait until the first game to start training, and we were in constant contact with our coaches before and during the season. We practiced our plays, worked as a team, and listened to our coaches to be the best we could be. We took note of the tactics and plays of the different teams we would be playing, making sure we knew what was needed to win.

My basketball coaches were not the ones playing the game–we were. They were cheering us on, as God does when we’re doing his will. Christ through us is what gets the job done. And it’s not about focusing on the enemy, but we should know about him and what he does to people so we can shut him down. He is already defeated, so we function out of victory!

Christ lives IN us–we have to exercise our faith like a muscle by doing the Word of God and following the commands of Christ to be the best sons and daughters we can be. We cannot wait until something bad happens, like if someone close to us becomes ill, before we learn how to actually deal with the problem.

There are too many situations where people call on God at the last minute when they really need him, like when someone is dying, and expect their pretty much non-existent relationship with him to fix everything. We need to understand our authority and who God called us to be.

He said, “Go! (Matthew 10:8) YOU heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons, take care of the poor, the homeless, the widows, etc. etc. etc,” (‘You’ is implied, meaning YOU heal the sick with Christ flowing through you!) and the list goes on.

Jesus died for us, saved us, set us free, healed all of our sicknesses, gave us all of him and his authority, so it is NOT okay to let the enemy steal from us just because we are unprepared for battle and don’t even understand how to fight! There are too many people dying out there to be unaware and complacent.

It is essential to be trained by the Holy Spirit and to be in constant communication with God and not talk the talk if you’re not walking the walk.

Calling yourself a Christian doesn’t mean anything unless you actually do something with your faith. Read the Bible, find out what God says about himself, about you, etc., so that you know what your salvation means and what you’re called to do. The Holy Spirit will guide you into all Truth.

If all you do is let people spoon-feed you at church one hour on a Sunday, you will not get it. Babies drink their mother’s milk, mother birds chew and digest the food before they regurgitate it to their young.

Hebrews 5:12-13 says that you should be able to teach people what you know, but you are unskilled in the word of righteousness, making you like a baby who drinks milk, not solid food.

I love babies, don’t get me wrong, but bear with me while I expand on the metaphor: babies are needy, helpless, and incapable of doing anything for themselves. They rely completely on other people for their every need. They whine, they cry, they need to be entertained, and they fall asleep shortly after they eat. The reason babies drink milk and baby birds have to eat previously digested food is because they cannot digest anything more than that.

If you cannot digest the word and only rely on people to spoon-feed you, you will not grow and your spirit will not be able to handle meat–the Word and doing the commands of God. You are only a disciple and friend of God if you do what he commands (John 15:14), and not doing it out of obligation, but because you know and love him as your Father.

If you are born again, you are a new creation living under the New Covenant of Jesus Christ.

When people say things like, “Oh, well I’m not called to missions or praying for the sick…” or “I’m only an intercessor…” or “If God wants me to do that He’ll change my heart,” that’s just a cop-out for being lazy and disobedient.

God’s already created a new heart in you when you decided to partner with Him. Your heart is willing and ready to do God’s will.

The thing that needs renewing is your mind (Romans 12). If your mind is telling you something contrary to Scripture, do not assume God went back on his word or that it’s okay to put it back on Him like He’s holding out on you and didn’t change that particular part of your heart.

He did that already, now you need to draw near to Him and get your mind on track with your heart, the heart of God.

Jesus is the Only One “Standing in the Gap” and God is NOT Judging People for Their Sin

Ryan — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 10:15:59 +0000

Jesus is the only one that is “standing in the gap.”

“For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men–the testimony given in its proper time.” – 1 Timothy 2:5-6

“He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.”
- 1 John 2:2

God is not going to judge people for their sin.

“Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son” – John 5:22

Neither is Jesus:

“”As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it.” – John 12:47

So who’s judging?

“There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day.” – John 12:48

Last day.

Not today.

And yes, God still can bless a nation even when there is sin.

If that wasn’t true, you never could have gotten born again. Sin didn’t stop the blessing and grace of God when you were still a sinner—you were able to receive from Him when you didn’t even have a covenant with Him…what makes you think sin can stop the blessing of God in an entire nation of sinners?

“…but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more” – Romans 5:20

“…He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.” – Matthew 5:45b

All of this to say:

“…if My people”, the famous ‘praying for revival’ verse, is Obsolete…

Ryan — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 23:31:17 +0000

First of all, I break the power of every spirit of blindness and deafness that has tried to come against you that would even begin to try and hinder you from receiving the Truth in what you are about to read.

In that place I speak eyes to see and ears to hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying and doing.

With that said…

You can throw away applying that whole “if my people” verse to your life and to the character of God in the new covenant.

Everybody quotes that to try and back up their ‘praying for revival’ meetings…completely ignoring the context of the verse.

The “if my people” is the second part of a sentence.

Religion only quotes half a verse.

See for yourself:

***”When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, ***

…if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” – 2 Chron 7:13-14

God doesn’t shut up the heavens or command locusts to devour the land or send plagues among people in the new covenant.

Sorry to burst your bubble but you’ve been fed religious lies and traditions of man that make the Word of God of no effect (Mark 7:13) and that set aside the commands of Christ to go and BE revival to the world around you (Matthew 10:7-8, Luke 10:8-9, Matthew 28).

In the new testament,

- He has ALREADY forgiven our sins (1 John 2:2)

- He always hears from Heaven if we ask in His name (John 14:14)

- We don’t have to seek His face because His face is Jesus (Hebrews 1:3) and Jesus lives in us

- It is now OUR job to heal the land (Luke 10:8-9)

If Jesus is the expressed perfect will of the Father (Heb. 1:3)…

…and He said “follow me” (Matthew 4:19)…

…and if we really are like Jesus in this world (1 John 4:17)…

…and if He never instructed the disciples to go and hold massive prayer/fasting campaigns BEFORE they went out and reached their world with the authority, love, and power of Christ…

…or SO THAT God could pour out His Spirit (considering He already did in Acts chapter 2)….

…and if God commanded US to be the ones to DEMONSTRATE justice, SHOW mercy, and SHOW compassion (“This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another.’ – Zech. 7:9)…

…why are we asking God to SEND justice and HAVE mercy?

Why do we do all these things?

Because that’s what we were taught to do?

Because that’s what the vast majority of Christendom does?

Because of a dream that “God” gave someone?

Or a vision?

That for some reason doesn’t seem to line up with the New Testament’s model of reaching out to the world?

The vast majority of the world was taught and aggressively believed that the world was flat until someone came around who could prove it was round.

People did not get angry because the world was round.

They got angry because the world WASN’T flat and they realized that which they had believed was false.

Someone came along who was able to prove that the overwhelming majority had been duped.

The same way that Martin Luther was able to Scripturally prove that the Catholic church was steeped in error.

And the murderous persecution that arose because of it, regardless of the proclamation of Truth (in both situations) was absolutely crazy.

But am I the only one that seems to think that something is off with the way that most people think of how we are supposed to do life as a Christian?

Or how we should go about seeing ‘revival’ in our nations?

Awaken, Church of Jesus Christ.

Take off the blinders. You have been duped.

Should we, or should we not, model our lives and ministry after Jesus Christ, who Himself is the Chief Cornerstone (Eph. 2:20)?

So is it, or is it not safe then to say that to add extra-biblical commands to Jesus’ methods of doing things is dangerous, deceptive error?

There has been built a church culture focused and centered around sacrifice (prayer/fasting/worship).

God doesn’t want your sacrifice.

He doesn’t like all the festivals. He doesn’t like all the conferences. He doesn’t like all the meetings. Why?

Because the church culture has created an environment that is meeting-centric and revolves around them, rather than actually taking action and doing what God has called us to.

He wants US to demonstrate His love and power to the world. He wants US to show justice and mercy to the world…not to keep asking Him to do it for us. That is extremely irresponsible.

Don’t believe me?

“I hate, I reject your festivals, Nor do I delight in your solemn assemblies.

“Even though you offer up to Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them;

And I will not even look at the peace offerings of your fatlings.

“Take away from Me the noise of your songs; I will not even listen to the sound of your harps.

“But let justice roll down like waters And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.

- Amos 5:21-24 (NASB)

And a more modern translation:

“I can’t stand your religious meetings.

I’m fed up with your conferences and conventions.

I want nothing to do with your religion projects, your pretentious slogans and goals.

I’m sick of your fund-raising schemes, your public relations and image making.

I’ve had all I can take of your noisy ego-music.

When was the last time you sang to me?

Do you know what I want? I want justice—oceans of it. I want fairness—rivers of it. That’s what I want. That’s all I want.” – Amos 5:21-24 (MSG)

He wants your life. He wants you to go out and re-present Jesus to the world. Not to huddle in prayer meetings and listening to messages from pulpits on Sundays and Wednesday nights.

There is no “coming great harvest and revival”. It’s available NOW. We just have to go reap it!

Jesus addressed this:

“My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.

Do you not say, ‘Four months more and then the harvest’? (i.e. ‘revival is coming…’)

I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. – John 4:34-35

The only time Jesus prayed from a place of lack was here:

“Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” - Matthew 9:35-38

And here:

“He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” - Luke 10:2

Now before you say, “That’s what we’re praying for!”, look at the next verse:

“Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.” – Luke 10:3

He told them to pray for harvesters to be sent out. And then He sent them out too.

No need to pray for Him to come.

He was here before you got here.

You have no more excuses.

He wants your obedience, even though that’s almost like a curse word in most “Christian” circles (John 14:15, Hebrews 10:5-8, 1 Samuel 15:22, Luke 11:27-28, John 14:21, John 14:23, John 15:10, John 15:13-14, Matthew 7:21-23, James 1:22).

Time to change the world and set people free!

Wakey…wakey..

Why I Do What I Do – Confronting Powerless Preaching

Ryan — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 10:51:29 +0000

This is why I am so intense.

This is why I confront what I confront.

This is why.

God is NOT “about to release” anything & He ALREADY Poured Out His Spirit

Ryan — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 14:34:04 +0000

In this video I address one of the most prevalent and destructive mindsets in the Body of Christ today.

God is not “about to release” anything, nor do we need to pray for Him to “pour out His Spirit”.

He already released and gave us everything (Eph 1:3, 2 Peter 1:3) and He already poured out His Spirit and never took it back (Acts 2).

Now is it is our job to act accordingly.

The harvest is ripe.

Right now (John 4:35).

There is no “coming great revival”.

Do something with your Christianity and stop hiding in your prayer meetings!

**DISCLAIMER:**
I am not against any individuals or ministries. I am against mindsets that keep people in bondage and that are unbiblical traditions of man that prevent people from simply doing what Jesus said to do and living life like He said to live it.

It is not dishonoring to address error.

Far too many equate honor with blindly obeying and believing everything someone says.

“Test everything. Hold fast to what is good.” -1 Thess. 5:21

Testimony of Deafness BROKEN!

Ryan — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 20:11:55 +0000

We just got this email from my wife’s aunt from when we visited her church in Colorado (a few weeks ago) and were asked to pray for people…full testimony of a woman’s leg and ears getting healed! Doctors have verified it and we will be putting up the verification as we are able to get it.

The video testimony is directly below here—the e-mail below that is what has happened since this video was taken. She sent it to her pastor and it made its rounds to us.

————————

“While you were in India, I felt impressed to join the Prayer Team at the front of the sanctuary and pray for people who needed special prayer that Sunday morning (almost 3 weeks ago). I had taken a sabbatical, as you know, for quite a long time from the Prayer Team as well as being a Guest Specialist until I had fully recovered from my many injuries, surgeries, etc. of this past year. But because of how God spoke to me through Pastor Jason’s message, I knew it was time to “get back in the race.” What a joy it was for me to intercede for others!!

On my way out of the sanctuary, I was stopped by some young people I’d never met before. I had forgotten that Pastor Jason had mentioned a healing team from California being in the prayer room for those who needed healing prayer. They asked me why my right foot was in a boot. I told them about dropping the computer monitor on it over Memorial Day weekend and crushing it. It had really been throbbing and painful all day Saturday and I was feeling discouraged that I’d have to wear the boot for another month, according to my doctors.

They also commented on my hearing aids and asked how long I’d been wearing them. I told them for 11 years and that my hearing was so bad, my audiologist told me I had the hearing loss of someone in their 70’s (back when I was 50!). The young people asked if they could pray for my hearing as well as my foot! I told them I didn’t think anyone had ever prayed for my hearing before and that it would be fine if they wanted to do that.

They sat me in a chair and the leader of the group lifted both feet up towards him and told me one leg was shorter than the other. I told him it was probably from months of limping around funny in both boots at different times. He said, “Watch this!” As he prayed a very short but direct prayer for healing, we watched my right [leg] grow longer right before our eyes!! I didn’t remove the boot until I got home because I didn’t have an extra shoe with me.

But when I got home, I removed the boot and haven’t worn it since.

Then the young people prayed for my ears. The young man snapped his fingers over each ear and said, “Be open in the name of Jesus!” I didn’t feel anything or notice a difference until he asked me to please remove my hearing aids. So I held them in my hand while he walked behind me and told me to “repeat after me”! Pastor Peter, he was halfway across the Sanctuary when I turned around and realized I could hear him whispering to me!! I haven’t worn the hearing aids since that Sunday either.

The only person I told at work was my boss, Dan, who’s a Christian. He kept trying not to cry on that Monday morning. He believed me but suggested I contact my audiologist and get a hearing test done so I’d have proof for those who didn’t believe me and thought I was a kook!

My audiologist has been on vacation but I saw her this morning at 7:30 and she did a thorough audiology test in the little booth they use. Half-way through, I could hear Linda sniffling and I knew she was crying.

She kept saying, “I can’t believe this! I just can’t believe this!” I not only scored 100% on the high and low sounds she played in both ears while I punched the button to let her know I could hear them, I also was able to repeat every single word back to her without missing any of them. I’ve never been able to do that before.

Linda came into my booth and asked me to tell her again what happened to me at church a few weeks ago. She took my chart and told me she had to show my test results to Dr. Reiner because he would never believe it! But she was so disappointed he wasn’t at work yet, she grabbed the billing lady and brought her in and asked me to repeat my story. The billing lady was a Believer and just kept grinning at me and said, “I believe! I know God can heal people today!”

Linda was crying and said, “Well, I’ve heard of things like this happening, but I just never saw it until today, and I’ve been an audiologist for years (She’s even a “Doctor of Audiology”)! I just kept shouting, “Praise God! Praise God! Praise God!” Linda told the billing lady that I had started losing my hearing from all the scar tissue caused by my Dad’s beating for so many years when I was a little girl. It was inoperable and their fear was that someday I might lose my hearing totally!

Linda said she’d write up a report and mail it to me along with copies of my past tests to show the comparisons between then and today. I just couldn’t wait to share this wonderful news with you, Pastor Peter. I haven’t told anyone but my boss because I wanted to wait for the report to prove what I’m sharing is true. Isn’t God good?

Please let the staff know and whoever else you might want to share this awesome news with and rejoice with me at God’s goodness. He truly is a miracle working God and I want the whole world to know!

The School of Obedience: Discipleship Bootcamp

Ryan — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 00:05:52 +0000

“Samuel replied: “Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.” – 1 Samuel 15:22

As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you.”

“He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” ” – Luke 11:27-28

“I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

“If you love me, you will obey what I command.” – John 14:12-15

“Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.” – John 14:21

“Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.” – John 14:23

“If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commands and remain in his love.” – John 15:10

Stipulations for coming:

- You must move to San Jose, CA and be ready to go by August 23, 2010

- You must have your own form of transportation (or pair up with roommates). San Jose does have a bus system but most driving is highway driving here so you probably will need a car.

- You must make your own living arrangements. We will help you in terms of connecting you with others who are coming but the legwork must be yours.

- For the time you are here, you cannot work a job. Matthew 6:33 and Luke 8:1-3 will become life verses for you.

- You will be expected to create a website/blog to chronicle and keep track of what you are learning and the testimonies of what is happening.

More details can be found in the video.

We look forward to hearing from you!
