There are people that are extremely gifted, and they get frustrated that opportunities are not opening for them to use their gifts. Some people even leave churches or get attitudes because they feel like they are being overlooked. Authority is the Right to Excercise Power. The problem is from the Lord. God is the one who gives authority, God is also the one who gives gifts. But you must sow different seeds to receive authority vs receiving power. Power comes through pray and holiness. You can increase the measure and level of the gifts on your life through extended times of prayer but… Authority comes from heaven through Submission. You can be the most gifted person in a church but if you don’t sow submission, God will not lift you. This is the reason many people start their own Church. The person was gifted but couldn’t submit. So they create a church split or leave and you find 20 small churches in an area. All small, all with a genuinely gifted leader, but they never move higher because they are not under authority.

Thank you all for your prayers. I am officially out of the Hospital. 🥳 I’m feeling pretty good and I know it’s because of all your love and support! I really do feel so loved and appreciated. Thank you! At the beginning of the year I’m going to be doing a Bible reading plan starting in John while simultaneously in Proverbs. More information to come.

With all of the excitement I forgot to record the meeting last night, but here are the scriptures that were referenced in the teaching. “There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men. (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬-‭14‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.” 1 John 3:1 KJV “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:” John 1:12 KJV “Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.” Galatians 4:7 KJV “and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” Revelation 1:6 KJV “and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.” Revelation 5:10 KJV

Hello Everyone, I want to answer common questions about the upcoming trip to Brazil here. The dates of the Conference are Wednesday, February 25th - Sunday, March 1st. We will be doing outreach, evangelism, prayer and worship daily at the church, with people coming starting from February 18th until March 1st. If you are able to arrive on February 18th that would be great. We will coordinate pickup and transportation for your arrival. The airport to fly into is CNF Belo Horizonte, Tancredo Neves International. The nicest Hotel is $100 a night, a nice hotel is about $70 to $80 a night. The USD is 5x the Brazilian currency. Food at a really nice restaurant (Brazilian Steakhouse) is $10 a plate. It will be summer in February, so expect 70 to 80 degrees. When you read about safety in Brazil the articles usually talk about Rio de Janeiro which is very unsafe. Belo Horizonte is very safe. You can use your phone on the streets. People are friendly and very open. Belo Horizonte has the best food in Brazil. Other Brazilians from other places will tell you that. We will book two Vans for the time that you are coming but I need to know once you've booked your flights so I can have everyone staying at the same hotel. Also if you come early (Before the 25th or stay later than the conference we can go and visit nice places around the city or even outside.) You need a visa to enter Brazil.
