MY GREAT DISCOVERY! 

I remember the early stages of making the shift from the goal being just gathering more people in a Sunday service, to bringing more of the Kingdom to our city and nations. 

We began to discover that if we could effectively train an equip people, (utilize systems to take people from “baby Christians to mature sons and daughters) God would actually send them out into society supernaturally, and open incredible doors of influence to them. I began to discover that the Kingdom of God could go beyond the walls of a church, into a nation as far as the mature trained sons and daughters would go. What a power and resource the Church of Jesus has locked up in our buildings! 

A local church, no matter how many gather or consider themselves “members”, are not limited in reaching the world. As far as we will go (into any sphere of life), is as far as the Kingdom of God will go. God sends and uses mature equipped sons and daughters - not spiritual babies! 

So I began to understand a unique aspect of the apostolic and apostleship, in the building up of PEOPLE for the purpose of building CITIES and NATIONS. There is a profound reach that any church can have through a focus on strategic equipping of people to go and actually disciple nations. Not just hold good services - as important as that component is for Church community.
