Rick Joyner

• Before the end there will be a people who walk
  and abide in the Spirit, and are filled with
  Gods love and they will be entrusted with
  unprecedented power. In this way
• the kingdom of God will be demonstrated
• as the counter-power to all of the evil that
  perverts and destroys on earth.

Rick Joyner

• Ultimately this power will prevail so that even
  the lion will lie down next to the lamb, and no
  one will hurt anyone again.
• Why not resolve now that we are going to be a
  part of preparing the way for this great kingdom?
  
• It is at hand.

The CHURCH has had a
1700
YEAR
WEDGIE
11

• In North America, people dont have a sense of
  the true Christian message anymore

12

• because the face of that message looks so
  unlike the Founder!

13

• The spiritual dilemma

vs
The Message
The Model
14

• Why do we keep doing church the same way

even when we know that it isnt working?
15
STUCK
Weve been
ON THE
FENCE
16

• Christianity is now almost impossible to
  explain, not because the concepts are
  unintelligible, but because

17

• the living, moving, speaking examples of our
  faith dont line up with the message!

AWAY
MOVING
FROM THE
FENCE
Part 4 The Solution
20
How can we
MOVE
AWAY
FROM THE
FENCE?
21

• The spiritually disoriented world is
  unconsciously asking us to return to ancient
  Christianity NOW!

22

• Theyre weary of our rhetoric, our pat answers
  for everything, and our structures of religion!

23

• A fresh, new look at
• a Kingdom with true and eternal values may be the
  only thing that spiritual sojourners are
  interested in any more!

24
Embracing Kingdom Values
1. Inclusive, authentic community!

• MOVE AWAY from a life-style of INDEPENDENCE and
  SELFISHNESS

25

• The incarnational gospel will require a place of
  discovery, where people will be able to see the
  truth before they commit to it!

26

• This will not be a location, but a community of
  people who are inclusive to everyone!

27
How can we
MOVE
AWAY
FROM THE
FENCE?
28
Embracing Kingdom Values
2. Eternal values and emphasis!

• MOVE AWAY from focusing on temporal success and
  security!

29
Col. 31-3

• Since you have been raised to new life with
  Christ, set your heart on the realities of
  heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor
  at God's right hand.

30
Col. 31-3

• 2 Think about the things of heaven, not the
  things of earth. 3 For you died to this life, and
  your real life is hidden with Christ in God.

31
How can we
MOVE
AWAY
FROM THE
FENCE?
32
Embracing Kingdom Values
3. Show Tell Role Modeling!

• MOVE AWAY from do as I say religion, and model
  the qualities and practices of Jesus Christ !

33
1 John 26

• Anyone who says he is a Christian should live as
  Jesus lived!

34

• Incarnational Christians will make eternity
  attractive by how they live such selfless lives
  NOW!

35

• They will be modeling life in a new Kingdom in
  ways that will make it easy for other people to
  give it a try!

36
Lets all try to
MOVE
AWAY
FROM THE

CONFUZED
Part Five
38
Many Christians today seemed to be confused
about the role that God has planned for them to
play in the establishment of His eternal Kingdom!
39
Much of that confusion seems to center around
a misconceived idea that God has abandoned His
original plan to share His dominion over the
earth with man!
40
This ill-conceived notion seems to be bolstered
by a faulty rapture mentality
that short-circuits the divine plan to redeem
all of creation forever by the ultimate defeat of
Lucifer and all who choose to participate in his
cosmic revolt.
41
Myles Monroe

• Man was created to exercise power and designed
  to manage it. The motivating purpose for the
  creation of the human species was to dominate the
  earth and its resources, the result of the
  Creators desires to extend His rulership through
  a family of spirit children He would call His
  sons and daughters!

Fifty Days for a Firm Foundation by Rick Joyner.
42
Myles Monroe

• This is Gods intent for you and me, and
  encompasses the total purpose assignment,
  potential, passion and design of man.
• This is the key
• to mans natural desires, sense of purpose and
  fulfillment in life!

  likeness.

45
Gen. 126-28

  fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth, and rule
  over it, exercising dominion over everything on
  earth.

  mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the
  earth, and all of their glory and said, 9 I will
  give you power over all of these, if you will bow
  down and worship me!

1 Peter 14-5

• 4 We have an inheritance that is incorruptible,
  and undefiled, and unfading, reserved in the
  heavens for all, 5 who, by the power of God are
  being guarded, through faith in Him, and prepared
  for the salvation, ready to be revealed in the

  the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast
  or his statue, nor accepted his mark on their
  forehead or their hands. They all came to life
  again, and they reigned with Christ for a
  thousand years.

61
Revelation 201-6

• 5 This is the first resurrection. (The rest of
  the dead did not come back to life until the

  those who share in the first resurrection. For
  them the second death holds no power, but they
  will be priests of God and of Christ and will
  reign with him a thousand years.

  Life was thrown into the lake of fire.

69
Revelation 211-226

• Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the

  mountain, and he showed me the holy city,
  Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God. 11

  gates guarded by twelve angels. And the names of
  the twelve tribes of Israel were written on the
  gates. 13 There were three gates on each

  the city had twelve foundation stones, and on
  them were written the names of the twelve
  apostles of the Lamb.

75
Revelation 211-226

• 15 The angel who talked to me held in his hand a
  gold measuring stick to measure the city, its
  gates, and its wall. 16 When he measured it, he
  found its base was a square, as wide as it was
