Summary It is really important that the church wakes up to what God wants to bring on the earth at this time The Awakening is happening now just like what happened when Jesus came on the scene with the religious organization of that day We can all be partakers of this Awakening but we must shake off the old traditions that have been holding us back It s through our opening up to being born again and being baptized that we are able to see and start experiencing this new Awakening and the Kingdom of God that is springing forth on the earth Show Notes The church should be a moving changing evolving organism but unless a church has apostolic influence somewhere along the way they ll set up camp and that s where they will stay That s who they will be That s why we need the five fold ministry operating We baptized more people in 2023 than we had probably baptized in any 5-6 year stretch Other churches in our area are experiencing the same thing That is one of the big signs of people coming into the Kingdom of God Tradition is not a bad thing unless it s standing in the way of what God wants to do For instance in Jesus s day religious tradition wasn t just a bad thing it was the most evil thing there was It was what was hindering Jesus from doing what He was supposed to do In baptism we identify with the death burial and resurrection of the Lord We go under that water immersed and we come out of the water to a new life So water baptism is really important John baptized with water but Jesus baptizes you with the Holy Spirit and fire The Awakening is not here in it s fullness yet It s going to depend on what the church does with it So Leaders wake up get your focus on the Lord and listen up At that point He ll give you instructions and what how when and who and all that to do in your house It s going to look different everywhere Quotes The ministry of the apostle sees where the church needs to go and has a good understanding of where the church is now and then God gives practical steps on how we get from where we are to where we re going Sometimes it takes a real blast of some kind to get the church off high center but I think that s happening in today s church atmosphere There s one church We are all part of it in Christ There s neither Jew nor Greek slave or free male or female and we can carry that on to Baptist or Pentecostal So we are all one in Christ If you want God to do something in your church first off let Him start to do something in you And if everybody will do that then this Awakening won t be just one or two people It ll be that whole body of Christ God wants the Awakening to last all the way until Jesus comes back but it depends on what the church does with it So the church has to come out of its traditional mindset elements of tradition that is keeping us from being what God wants us to be The Word says to believe and be baptized That was what signified someone who had made a decision in their heart to trust and follow Jesus so the first step of obedience that we take is to be baptized The Awakening is God moving on the hearts and spirits of mankind Your purpose and your life wont be fulfilled until you lock onto what God s purpose for your life is References Galatians 3 28 Acts 1 5 Takeaways The Awakening and the Kingdom of God are coming forth whether we are aware of it or not That s why it is so important for the spiritual leaders of this day to wake up and get focused so that they are able to bring their groups into this new day that the Lord wants to bring now Click here to visit this podcast episode
