The Mission, Message and Mandate




A big part of the services that the company I work for provides our client is making sure there are Business Continuity Plans in place for unexpected disruptions. The over reaching structure of the plan is organized at the national level, but has to be cooperated with and implemented at the local level. If a Site Manager like myself doesn't submit requested information , or doesn't cooperate with changes in the plan, then the entire plan will fall apart.

Having this mindset allowed our client to empty offices of tens of thousands of employees, across the nation, as the pandemic emerged, with just minor interruptions of thier work flow.

With what we learned , we are now able to run once large offices filled with hundreds, and some with thousands of employees, as our clients employees operate almost fully remotely. Our client could not operate as they are required to without our services , mainly because of the Continuity and Contingency plans we have in place.

If you are a Pastor over a church, especially if you are over a series of churches, make sure you have a ministry continuity plan. If you have a non-profit, make sure you also have the plan in place.

Ministry , unlike a business or a job, is given by God . It is imperative that every Christian Ministry has a plan and mindset in place , to continue being The Church, and Gods hands extended, even if everything changes, funding dries, or normal communications are interrupted.

I see a period of time coming where all ministry, if only for a season, will return to the base of the church, the pillar and ground of the truth. Be open to that. Pastors, be open to that. Outreach founders, be open to that. Meet regularly with your contacts and fellow ministers that you do your ministry with. Coordinate with those contacts you have. Have a solid continuity plan in place so that , as much as possible, you are able to continue ministering to the people and bringing peace to thier lives.

We have a plan in place that ensures if one region goes down, all that work and forms will be diverted to another. If one office goes down, there is another office ready to pick up the work load.

In ministry have the same thing. Most importantly, have FAITH. If all modern luxuries and technologies were taken away, The Gospel is never chained. If all grants and funding go away, God is still a provider for what He call us to do. If everything that defines what you built your non-profit or church to accomplish, becomes obsolete because of travel or monetary restrictions, The Gospel must and will continue to go forward.

This next part may seem off topic, but it is not,

When we bring The Ministry back to the foundation of what Jesus was sent to reveal, create, expose and establish, we will be preaching The Gospel of The Kingdom, purely and without filter.

I think one of the failures of the modern western church is that in error we have thought that by building programs, facilities and comfortable entertainment venues, that somehow we are prolonging the very real, very destructive end of all things.

This world is passing away. The wickedness that is being performed all over this planet is getting darker, and more powerful. That is not negative statement, it is the truth. The Kingdom of darkness is very comfortable in how it kills ,steals and destroys, with very little spiritual, authoritative resistance from much of The Church World.

Isaiah 60:2

 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people;
But the Lord will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you.


I think part of the reason for that is Mixed Missions, Mixed Messages and Mixed or Misunderstood Mandates.

I am not , I repeat, I am not saying there is no place for non profits that do not outwardly preach The Full Gospel. Jesus went about good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil. However, we can not mistake good works, public praise or even the natural success of those we are reaching out to with Preaching The Gospel of The Kingdom.

Matthew 5:14-16

14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.


Listen, you can create a non-profit that eradicates poverty in your city and raises up brilliant young men and women. But, if they go into the world as unsaved as they were before, you have failed, if you laid aside the preaching of the gospel of salvation.

What good does it do to give a person the whole world, great success, life tools, if they lose thier own soul? Some say we preach the Gospel without saying a word. You cant, it isn't possible.

Matthew 16:21-28

21 From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.

22 Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!”

23 But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”

24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. 28 Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His




I think The Lord had a reason to make His Message a message of Words. A Mission to Go and TELL His Story. With a Mandated Authority to do so, with a promise to confirm those WORDS. A story about a fallen relationship, and evil enemy and a liberating King. Mankind is living under the oppression of a kingdom that encompasses the globe. Demonic forces are ravaging mankind in the most horrific ways. Darkness has fallen upon the earth and deep darkness the people. I know you dont see it from your comfy couch and your 200 dollar church chair as you sing worship songs without fear of being locked in and burned alive, but that, and even worse things are happening , to your family, your brothers and sisters, who are one body with you, right now.

 John 5:19-20

19 We know that we are children of God and that the world around us is under the control of the evil one.

20 And we know that the Son of God has come, and he has given us understanding so that we can know the true God. And now we live in fellowship with the true God because we live in fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the only true God, and he is eternal life.


So what does this have to do with the topic I started on? Well, it may be, and I will not say this is a prophecy, but a spiritual observance of the landscape. that our false sense that we can rely on stuff, politics, technology, systems, nicely folded plans of keeping things balanced and clean, will be shaken down to the foundations. Comfortable humans have a way of ignoring the pain and storms around them, until that pain and storm effects them. Nobody in Washington or on the east coast cared much about the dust bowl, and in ignorance didn't realize the danger that it posed to them and the entire nation, until Washington DC was hit with a dust storm. What was happening in the west, because of ignorance and misunderstood farming practices, could have ended our nation as we know it, but, not many in Washington cared, until they had to.  





We are not like the world. The day (the time) of The Lord, The Last Days, The Time of Trouble, should not take us by surprise as if we didn't know. The very real demonic entities that will become more active soon, should not cause us to fear, hide, or try and explain away thier existence in a message that is friendly to reporters, or the world. The darkness should not be able to overtake us or cause even a shadow in the light that shines from us. We should be like the wise ones that prepared and were ready.

Acts 11:28-29

28 Then one of them, named Agabus, stood up and showed by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine throughout all the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius Caesar. 29 Then the disciples, each according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brethren dwelling in Judea



If our light is dimmed, it is because we have taken The Gospel of The Kingdom and hidden it under a bowl, or within a sugar coated message, or under "our good works", or behind our secular funding that we would lose of we let The Light of Christ and The Gospel of His Kingdom shine fully. Or , and this is where many of us, myself included, have failed, we have hidden it inside our own fears of men.  

I will end here. Make a Ministry Continuity Plan in partnership with all your churches and ministry connections. Within that plan, make sure that if all else fails, you and your whole staff and church are comfortable with having The Gospel of The Kingdom being the only foundation they have to stand on.

Make sure The NAME OF JESUS holds more power and authority in thier hearts than any other name. Make sure The Great Commission is the only Mission that is allowed to stand, when all else does not.

Do not hold on to any Mission, Message or Mandate, that will cause you to replace, or lesson The Mission, Message and Mandate that was delivered to us In Gods Word. That Great Commission is the only hope for mankind, and the only Mission, Message and Mandate He is bound Himself to confirm. Most of all: Have FAITH that Jesus IS LORD over all The Earth! He has us and is not short on anything. He is faithful, able and more than willing to confirm His Plan!



Matthew 11:1-6

11 When Jesus had finished giving these instructions to his twelve disciples, he went out to teach and preach in towns throughout the region.

John the Baptist, who was in prison, heard about all the things the Messiah was doing. So he sent his disciples to ask Jesus, “Are you the Messiah we’ve been expecting, or should we keep looking for someone else?”

Jesus told them, “Go back to John and tell him what you have heard and seen— the blind see, the lame walk, those with leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, and the Good News is being preached to the poor.” And he added, “God blesses those who do not fall away because of me.”


Mark 16:14-20

 

14 Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. 15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

Christ Ascends to God’s Right Hand

19 So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.

It is The End of The World (As We Know It)

 


Hello ,


 This is an open letter to you. Whomever you are, I am writing this directly to you. Not your Mother, Father, Child, Neighbor, C0-Worker or otherwise. This letter is for you. 

How are you today? I hope all is well. Did my title get your attention? How you read that title and interpret it, will depend a lot on your world view.  I don't just mean your political views, your religious views or your various views on social issues. I am talking about the lens in which you see the big picture.. How you see The World. You may not have much of a world view at all. You may have focused your lenses on just what goes on around you, or your go to news station. Maybe your world view is limited to you immediate family , friends and community. No matter how large of a lens you have CHOSEN to see through or how small and limited of a lens you have CHOSEN to see through: You do have a world view. 

There is much talk about concerning where we are in the timeline of earth these days. You may not see the chatter as having anything to do with Biblical Prophecy or even non-biblical, extra-biblical predictions from many religions, spiritualist and "see-ers" throughout history, but much of what you are seeing and hearing is not only confirming, but actually fulfilling Biblical Prophecy right before your eyes.  

I wont try and convince you that The Bible is supernatural in nature and is not just a book written by man, assembled by man and manipulated by man. I am not going to try and preach the gospel to you in this post. I just want you to consider what is happening around you, what is coming soon, and how you will react when it happens right before your eyes. Will you lay aside all the doubts and reach out in faith, or go the way of the crumbling world and harden your heart? 

 So for the sake of this letter to you, will you do me the favor of just assuming The Bible is the road map to the end of this age on earth and is God Himself speaking to mankind and showing us the Beginnings and The Endings of Modern Man and the current age on this earth.  The Bible on its surface is a tiny glimpse into what amounts to a blink of an eye into the history of this planet and universe.  It does pan out and give hints and shadows of what came before modern man, but at best we can only make an educated guess at it. The Bible does pretty well explain what will come for the millennium after the age of man on earth, and mentions eternity after that, but we do not see the whole picture, the details or what God will do in detail on earth after this age ends. 

Consider this. Even the most prosperous nations on earth can not find peace. Even places that boast of their civil, socially driven societies , have hidden violence and wicked mummering's under the surface. No matter how hard they try to mask it, cover it, sugar coat it or just plain lie about it, every single nation suffers violence and murder in one form or another.  

Let's take Iceland for example. The murder rate and crime rate in Iceland is very low. Murders do happen. Violence does occur, but is is rare. However the fallen nature of mans stony heart can not escape spilling the blood of innocence and can not help but to find a way to align with wickedness where ever a society leaves open the door.   Note the pictures below and continue reading.

(Keep reading, I will show you I am not "liberal" bashing. This is NOT that article) 




 

Do you know in Iceland these wonderful, beautiful people would not even be allowed to be born. They proudly boast of almost eliminating down syndrome. They abort almost every baby that test positive for it. That should make you sick after seeing these pictures.  If you are coming up with a reason why that is not a bad thing, you are in danger my friend of falling for the greatest deception since Hitler and the gas chambers, to come to mankind.  If you can look at these pictures and say that Iceland is a magical land of peace and harmony, and not see the gross wickedness behind this boast, my heart fears for your soul.  What you are telling these people is that they really have no right to exist, that they shouldn't have been born and that they should have been torn apart and thrown away before they were born. Ouch. 

Remember we started this letter talking about your world view. Your world view is being challenged right now, as your mind races to jive your beliefs on abortion and pro-choice, and the very real reality of what these pictures are showing. You will be forced to say to these beautiful faces one day why you thought that way about them.  How much wickedness of action and thought will you allow , so you never have to admit what your heart already knows. The policy of Iceland and the extermination of all like those pictured above is wicked, evil and comes not from God.  Oh, I know what you are thinking, they were not babies yet, just "fetuses".  Okay, I hear your pro-choice talking points burning rubber in your head. But, sorry, not here. This is not about pro-choice or pro-life. It is about what you will allow in order to guard your world view , even if you have to allow evil to do it. 

 I just read an article today that a "Christian" School covered up a wicked, unholy sexual assault on a student in a locker room. It was described by the school administration and a freshman hazing incident. They turned police away when they arrived and told them to get a warrant. A freshman boy was attacked in the locker room, beaten, turned around and violated with a baseball bat. These "Christian" school leaders to this day defend themselves and their actions saying that they had "qualified' administrators dealing with it. They were allowing a wicked act of violence and sin to stay hidden and whitewashed, in order to protect the fake image they portrayed. They allowed a false religious world view that had ZERO to do with The Love of Christ they proclaimed and everything to do with the fact they are a deceived people, who are in line with a false Christ and his anti-christ spirit.  

You can be sure The Spirit of The Lord has nothing to do with their actions. They hid evil,  in order to guard themselves. The "Church" has a long history of using Jesus as their marketing tool, all while serving a false christ in their actions and heart. 

I could list many other religions that use their beliefs as a cover to allow the greatest evils and wickedness mankind can conjure, but I will single out my own. Or more accurately those who use Christ as a marketing tool and cover while never really knowing Him. Jesus spoke of them when teaching the people. He said :

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’


 My point is this, both secular and religious institutions of mankind have differing world views that are aligning more and more with the darkness of this world. Both Believers and Atheist are being swayed by what The Bible calls The Wicked One. The Spirit of Anti-Christ operating in The World. The Flesh, The World and The Devil have mankind bound to be pushed and swayed into a deception that will launch a great evil on the earth. An evil that has stayed in the darkness for Millenia and will make its final worldwide appearance very soon. 

Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the wayAnd then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.


So, how will your worldview effect your destiny when the things mentioned above begin to unfold on earth. They are actually rapidly unfolding right now. I could write a whole book here describing how, when, where and why, but this is not that post.  

When you are faced with he very real choice of choosing your own worldview, your own politics , your own social beliefs and dogmas or laying them all down in order to choose God over The Lawless One, what will you choose. Make no mistake, there is good and there is evil. There is a God and there is  Devil.  There is a heaven and there is a hell.  You are given a choice. 

 I am not telling you that you are going to hell. Many reading this are believers in Christ, with their eternal destiny sealed in Christ. However oh believer, have you been deceived into helping the lawless one spread his lies and deceit. Have you been hijacked in your flesh to spread a shadow of deceit over the world , so that when the world does tilt , many are swept away by the greatest evil mankind has ever seen? 

We have watched over the past few years many that claim to be led by The Holy Spirit and to be Disciples of Jesus Christ, say and do the most ungodly, foolish things. They were openly acting out in the flesh, and calling it righteous. They were showing the darkness that was always hidden in their worldview. 

 They revealed what was really in their hearts and still to this day, many, defend their fleshy, rebellious, un-Christlike actions. It is plain to anyone who can discern The Spirit of God that a great shadow has fallen upon much of the western church. The Flesh has ruled, from greed, to excess, to uncontrolled emotions, to rebellion and hatred. From uber-rich celebrity preachers flaunting their wealth in Nigeria right next to persecuted and starving Christians, to preachers in America living like celebrities or carrying guns down main street. They all have believed a lie, and are swayed by the devil, the world and the flesh. 

 Their worldview in the coming years will see them locking out their starving brethren , fighting with guns and instruments of death, starting wars between the people they are supposed to be messengers of peace to. 

 The secular progressive governments, will fair no better, and the wicked communist governments will return to genocide and the slaughter of millions of minorities and Christians that they have perfected over the years. Those with a very liberal world view will fall, like those who can still look at the pictures above and see no issue with Iceland's policy, they will become very cold , unempathetic and look like the elitist of the past. They will justify the most wicked acts of violence against all that will not bow to their worldview. They will deem anyone who will not accept their worldview as an attack on their society. They will justify eliminating the "trouble makers" . 

The tool used by the enemy as he revels himself in true form will vary by those with differing worldviews. But there are three things all mankind have in common will be what ends up united all the different worldviews into his unholy "church".  

Money, Religion(yes even Atheist) and the need for a Leader.  Right now the world is arranging in a way that will cause the nations of the world to embrace a leader that will bring the world religions and the world finances. under his cloud of deceit. He will turn the masses against anyone who will not bow to Him and His system.  The only ones that will not be deceived by Him are those who are truly filled with The Holy Spirit. Like the early believers that faced the lions instead of bowing to the pagans of the day. Like the believers who faces\d persecution and death because they would not bow to communist Mao. Like the believers now who are beheaded ,tortured and burned alive because they will not denounce Christ and profess Islam. 

It is not only Christians who will suffer , anyone who will not fall in line with his system of "world peace" will be deemed unworthy to work, shop or participate in society. You may laugh at that ,but it is happening now. China is enslaving and killing minorities in their nation. Across the western world, people are being denied jobs and income because they do not want to be injected with a vaccine that they do not trust. Right now some of you don't care if families are being destroyed because they do not believe the same way you do. You are being prepped, much like the German people were, to watch atrocities against others and look the other way.

 At the same time , so called Christian churches and organizations are advocating taking up arms, violent overthrow and civil war. Like the false Christians that spread the gospel by sword and force, they are deceived. Like the churches under Constantine they are following a false Christ and a wicked spirit. They believe more in the power of a theocracy than The Kingdom of God.  They know nothing of The Love and Power of Christ. They , like the leaders in the dark ages, believe they can legislate godliness and anyone who does not bow to their religion(not Jesus) doesn't deserve to live and operate in society. 

 I will end with this. No matter who you are. Seek The Lord. Ask God to help you see with His eyes. Ask Him to save you from the time to come.  Ask Him to keep you from the great deception. Then lay aside your worldview and listen. He will respond to all who call upon Him. He will reward those who diligently seek Him. Above all do not let your pride and stubbornness cause you to be one of the ones The Lord describes below.  Rather listen to the words of Peter 

My next post will be The Gospel of The Kingdom as The Word Supernaturally tells it and how you will know The True Church Of Jesus Christ


28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;  29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.



3 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.



20 But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. 21 And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
