Church Growth and the Missing Factor

Dr. David Yonggi Cho has the largest church in the world. He said, No where in the world are there more people praying and fasting. I believe there is a correlation between the magnitude of prayer, continuous revival and church growth in South Korea. At the moment the church in South Korea has 875,000. At one time the church was growth so fast Dr. Cho had to plant 5000 people and pastor per Sunday because of the lack of space. Some have speculated if you add up  his church plants in South Korea  and his church , the number would exceed 3.5 million people. In His book, " Prayer: Key to the Revival" he said, " Our people have been taught  the central nature prayer so they pray over everything. They fervently pray for the church, the nation and the continuation of revival in Korea and throughout the world. They also, pray for potential new converts SO THAT THE CHURCH MAY CONTINUE TO GROW. We have learned that we are at war against Satan. Out battlefield is the hearts of all men and women. Our goal is that all may come to the saving grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Therefore, we plan carefully; we have a strategy, we have a plan and we execute the plan like a well trained army. Yet, most importantly we bathe our plans in prayer so that God may breath His breath of life into our efforts and they will be fruitful. Cho, goes on to say, "  I have not followed a secret formula in the mighty church growth we are experiencing. What I have done is simply take the Word of God seriously. There is no question in my mind that what has done in Korea can also be duplicated in every part of the world. The Key is prayer"  What are you thoughts about Pastor Cho's statements regarding church growth and prayer.

A Powerful Visitation of God is Coming to America - Urban Missionaries are coming to our cities

The Lord placed in my heart Zech. 10:1. Ask rain from the Lord at the time of the spring rain. The Lord who makes the storm clouds; And He will given showers of rain.

Beloved, it is time to ask God for the perpetual rain of the Holy Spirit to flood our land in North America. This visitation will be a terror to religious people  because the Holy Spirit is going to use
unconventional  methods to reach the lost.

During this move of God we will see  young people congregating on the streets and parks to hear the word of God in  rap, spoken word and moving word. Some rappers who are real evangelists are going to literally minister in the streets and the win thousands to the Christ. A nation will be born over night in cities through  this visitation of God.

A new breed of missionary called " urban missionary" will be sent by the Holy Spirit to high schools, colleges, poverty areas of cities to strategically win people to Christ . The new urban missionary will not only win many to Christ, but they will also disciple who they win. They will conserve the fruit of evangelism with new systems of discipleship. They will make sure the people they will to Christ, will not go MIA.

Are you a " urban missionary"

Brokenness before God and the anointing

A lack of brokenness causes a person who is used by God to become proud and arrogant. However, when a man is broken , his heart resist pride. Therefore, he can b used to a greater degree by God. Praylessness is a key sign of lack of brokenness before God. God resist the proud, but gives grace to the humble. ( James 4:6) Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time ( 1 Peter 5:5-6) If we are broken and contrite before God, He gives us more and more grace. Success is based on the grace of God. How do we get more grace from God? We get it by being broken in humility before God. Grace grants us ultimate success. ( Psalms 31:12; Matt 21:42-44) Jesus actually commands us to " Fall on the rock and broken. The breaking is not to destroy us but to shape us into a form that can be properly used for the purposes of God. If we resist the purpose of God, the result is crushing, or being good for nothing in God's eternal purpose. WALKING IN BROKENNESS DOES NOT MEAN WALKING IN FAILUE OR POOR SELF IMAGE. What is humility?

A Season of Breakthrough while facing the brink of disaster

While I was Toronto, Oct 19-25  the Lord revealed to  me  that we are entering a seasons where earthquakes are going to escalate especially  in North America. I saw a major earthquake  rock a major portion of the United States. The approach of the glory of God is causing the elements to tremble. The extremes in weather patterns are going to become so plenteous  in the North America and around the world. The most bizarre weather patterns will occur in 2012. Yet in the midst of all the changes taking place a real visitation of God has already begun to invade the US and its intensity will increase. However the church in the US must intercede like never before. Prototypes of the intensity of intercession God wants to release in the US can be seen in Dr Cho's Prayer Mountain in Seuel Korea. The intercession from that church has fueled the move of God in China, Japan, Thailand, etc. God is going to begin promote certain prayer warriors who have been groomed in the furnace of affliction into high level apostolic leadership to engage the church into intercession and prophetic evangelism. They are coming out of Adulluam's cave to strategically lead the church into a warring mode. The Dawning of a new day is coming for certain cities in the US. Watch Detroit, flames of revival fire will come upon that city. God is going to raise up voices that bring healing to families and marriage. Many of theses voices are going to be given a national platform to share the " Father's heart about marriage and family. Witty inventions are going to come out of the Body of Christ. Host the presence of God in your local church. Host the presence of the Holy Spirit in your prayer life. Host the presence of God in your businesses. Make the Holy Spirit your senior partner in your businesses. Embracing the heart of Jesus in John 15 will lead to  fresh anointing  in our walks with God.  Revelations regarding joy-filled Holiness will impact churches that are hungry for the presence of God. A real liberty is coming for evangelism through friendship and the power of God. Hosting the presence of God in our personal lives will lead to miracles in the public venue through the hands of ordinary believers.  Pray for the borders of the United States. Pray Psalms 91 for the safety of our country.
