A few Thoughts and scriptures From Sunday's Message:

Acts 13:1-5

In the church at
Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch) and Saul. While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off. The two of them, sent on their way by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus. When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. John was with them as their helper.(NIV)

Isaiah 61:1-7
The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion-- to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor. They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations. Aliens will shepherd your flocks; foreigners will work your fields and vineyards. And you will be called priests of the LORD, you will be named ministers of our God. You will feed on the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast. Instead of their shame my people will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace they will rejoice in their inheritance; and so they will inherit a double portion in their land, and everlasting joy will be theirs.(NIV)

1 Chronicles 12:32
men of Issachar, who understood the times and knew what
Israel should do--200 chiefs, with all their relatives under their command;(NIV)

Ephesians 4:11-13
It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.(NIV)

Genesis 1:26
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."(NIV)

Romans 12:1-2
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.(NIV)

1 Corinthians 9:2
Even though I may not be an apostle to others, surely I am to you! For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.(NIV)

SHIFT

Awake

Arise

Penetrate

KINGDOM

Transformation

We must be free set others free, only free people can set others free

Sent to lay hands on sick, bear fruit

Sent to be God’s Authority

Co-labors with Christ

Advance kingdom of God

Bringing heaven to earth

Restoring the earth like in Genesis

God wants HIS will done on this earth through us-Thy Kingdom come!

It’s about KINGDOM; the river will make a new course.

Spirit Is like water, we are pioneers doing it the kingdom way.

Apostles-means one sent

God is working today, creating a NEW mindset

Stamped to do business in the kingdom of God

New and Different

NEW AND DIFF.

Go where God sends you

We are going to change the world!

Do damage to the darkness

Mantled by God

Church and Kingdom not the same thing, Church about getting my needs meet, Kingdom about the king, not me but God.

The King’s Domain- the King takes care of his Citizens

Cutting Edge Church, to meet the need of the changing world

Pioneering invading new territories

Does not compromise the truth of the gospel

SHIFT

CAN’T go back to the old, boundaries are changing, increasing, new season

Don’t worry about those how don’t want to go with you
