Apostolic Mentoring

The Power of Cooperation! / Die Macht der Zusammenarbeit! ... English & German

• Rev. Charles G. Robinette • Season 5 • Episode 17

Share episode

The divine principle of cooperation emerges as the essential cornerstone for global revival in this dynamic mentoring session focused on kingdom multiplication. When we recognize that "we can accomplish more together than we can alone," frustration transforms into fulfillment and personal agendas give way to kingdom advancement.

Fresh testimonies from tent revivals in Florida where 116 people were baptized and 95 received the Holy Ghost in just three days illuminate what happens when believers work collectively. These reports, alongside miraculous healings like a cross-eyed child receiving perfect vision during worship, aren't just inspiring stories—they're evidence of what awaits when we position ourselves correctly in partnership.

True cooperation requires more than casual association; it demands a heart posture that values every voice at the table. This includes those who challenge us, reveal our blind spots, and bring different perspectives—all vital for complete kingdom vision. As one mentor noted, "You don't know everything, and you don't know what you don't know."

The choice becomes clear: will we be critics or celebrators of God's work happening through others? Will we build walls between neighboring churches or bridges that facilitate collective revival? The path to seeing billions reached requires intentional resistance against division, selfish ambition, and territorial ministry approaches.

This transformative teaching calls us to practical action: visit neighboring churches, support other pastors' revival efforts, build connections with believers across denominational lines, and celebrate kingdom victories wherever they occur. The apostolic mentoring community is committed to this collaborative spirit as we unite around our mission of equipping millions to reach billions in these last days before Christ's return.

We love to hear from our listeners! Thank you!

Speaker 2:

Preist den Herren, alle zusammen und willkommen zu unserem Dienstagabend, eine Stunde um ein Uhr östlich-amerikanische Zeit, im Apostolischen Mentoring dabei zu sein.

Speaker 1:

I love how she said ein Uhr Amerikanisch. She wanted to make it clear that it's only one o'clock in America. I guess that would be 7 pm in Western Europe. Would that be about right? 12 pm, central Standard Time, 10 am. Where you can ski and go to the beach in the same day the same day.

Speaker 1:

I love being a part of Apostolic Mentoring and I love this Apostolic Mentoring global family Gather together with all of you powerful believers. Every single week is just a highlight and a strength and a joy for our family and to be a part of this kingdom mission Und ein Teil dieser Mission für das Königreich zu sein Equipping millions to reach billions.

Speaker 2:

Milliarden auszurüsten, um Milliarden zu erreichen that's what this is all about Darum, geht das hier.

Speaker 1:

It's not about a weekly Bible study.

Speaker 2:

It's not about having a clique of people that get together on.

Speaker 1:

Tuesdays.

Speaker 2:

It's that we believe in these last days, God is going to pour out his spirit upon all flesh. We don't gather on Tuesdays because we have nothing else to do.

Speaker 1:

We gather on Tuesdays because we have a massive kingdom mission.

Speaker 2:

we have a massive kingdom mission. These are the last days.

Speaker 1:

Jesus is coming soon. Billions need to hear the gospel.

Speaker 2:

Billions need to repent of their sins. Billions need to be baptized in Jesus' name.

Speaker 1:

Billions need to be filled with the gift of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking with other tongues. As a matter of fact, the kingdom of God had a great great victory this week Over on the east coast of North America.

Speaker 1:

Pastor David Myers had a Jesus tent revival with Evangelist Brother Anderson. This Evangelist, brother Braden Anderson, has all of these tents that he will take to your city and they have all kinds of sizes of tents and I'll put his contact information in the chat for any pastor that wants to use Brother Anderson and I'll put his contact information in the chat for any pastor that wants to use Brother Anderson and I will put the contact address in the chat for anyone who wants to use him.

Speaker 1:

Brother Myers had Brother Anderson here this weekend and in three days in Melbourne, Florida, they had 116 people baptized in Jesus' name. In three days they had 95 people filled with the Holy Ghost.

Speaker 2:

People were filling the tent.

Speaker 1:

They were shouting and praising God together. I've seen the videos and here we are. In the last days, we need to be having that kind of revival in every single town let that breakthrough happen to be having that kind of revival in every single town Let that breakthrough happen in Unterschleißheim. Let that revival happen in Berlin, Germany.

Speaker 2:

Let that type of weekend happen in Vienna, austria. Let it happen in Michigan, in Ohio.

Speaker 1:

That's the mindset and the prayer that we need to be praying right now. We don't need to be critical when we hear about revival. We need to be critical when we hear about revival. We need to be celebrating the revival that God has given to our brothers and sisters all around the world. Because, when Brother Myers has a victory the kingdom of God has had a victory and I'm in the kingdom of.

Speaker 2:

God, I'm a son of the king.

Speaker 1:

When the king wins, his son wins. I'm rejoicing with Brother Anderson.

Speaker 2:

I'm rejoicing with Brother David Myers. I want to encourage everybody get a hold of Evangelist Brother Anderson.

Speaker 1:

And I'll make sure that I put this in the Facebook information area and I'll make sure I put it on the YouTube channel as well but, every pastor needs to get a hold of Brother Anderson and schedule a tent revival in your city.

Speaker 1:

We don't just need a global revival, we need a local revival. Everybody needs to have revival at the same time, this last weekend we had the privilege of being on Sunday with Brother and Sister DeLong. I'm sure that Sister Hackenbrook and Brother Sayers remember these great people of God. I believe it was in 2017.

Speaker 2:

They brought a Youth on Missions trip to the German-speaking nations 2017 haben sie ein Team oder eine Gruppe von jungen Menschen in der Mission nach Deutschland und nach Europa gebracht.

Speaker 1:

And we had such a great kingdom victory during their week and during their stay.

Speaker 2:

Und wir hatten so einen großartigen Sieg fürs Königreich in dem Dienst.

Speaker 1:

We passed out flyers all over the streets. He reminded me that we went to Slovakia and prayed over the nation of Slovakia. I'd forgotten that we even did that. We went over there as a team and prayed over Slovakia. But Brother DeLong reminded me. He said one of the most significant moments of our trip. He said this situation totally moved me. He said we come to church on Sunday in Vienna, austria, and he said the church is filled up with all of these Muslims.

Speaker 2:

And the church is filled up with all of these Muslims. And he said I remember when your worship team began to sing this song. He said all of the other gods, they are the works of men. It goes on you are the only wise God. There's none like you.

Speaker 1:

He said I remember in that worship service, as you were talking about how there is only one God, and his name is Jesus. And he said you guys were singing and dancing and praising God. He said I watched as four Muslim men fell on their knees singing that song. And they started speaking with other tongues. Just like the Bible says. He said at the end of that service you guys were just baptizing Muslims in Jesus' name.

Speaker 2:

What an incredible kingdom victory. I think it was in one year.

Speaker 1:

I don't know the numbers, I don't have it right in front of me, but I believe it was something like a hundred Muslims received the Holy Ghost in that first year.

Speaker 2:

And somewhere near 151 Muslims were baptized in Jesus' name.

Speaker 1:

Brother Sayers is nodding his head.

Speaker 2:

I must be getting those numbers relatively close.

Speaker 1:

But God wants to give us that kind of revival every day, in every culture.

Speaker 2:

In every region of the world.

Speaker 1:

There are no regions that are going to be exempt of kingdom harvest.

Speaker 2:

In every region in the whole world. There are no regions that are going to be exempt of kingdom harvest.

Speaker 1:

But we have to have the right mindset. We've got to have the right posture, we've got to get ourselves aligned to see God do the things that he desires to do. In these last days, anyhow, we were with Brother DeLong on Sunday and we had on Sunday morning in their service we had five receive the Holy Ghost. Four more were baptized in Jesus' name Then in the afternoon they have a Spanish church there.

Speaker 2:

The pastor is Pastor Clark.

Speaker 1:

And his assistant is Brother Christopher Walmer, a great young man, the son of Missionary Walmer in Brazil of Missionary Walmer in Brazil.

Speaker 2:

We had such a great Spanish-speaking service in the afternoon.

Speaker 1:

We had 11 Spanish-speaking people filled with the Holy Ghost. Two more were baptized in Jesus' name. Many testified of miracles in both of those services, but one of the significant miracles that happened on Sunday the significant miracles that happened on Sunday, one of the Spanish-speaking families brought their daughter who was cross-eyed, and it was not correctable. But when the Holy Ghost began to fall and the word of faith hit the atmosphere, God immediately straightened the eyes of that young child.

Speaker 1:

There was such joy in that family when God did that masterful creative miracle. We are living in the last days. God is filling people with the Holy Ghost. Everywhere, people are getting baptized in Jesus' name, people that were originally baptized in the titles Father, son and Holy Ghost. Are getting the revelation of the mighty God in Christ, and they're being rebaptized in Jesus' name.

Speaker 2:

This is happening right now.

Speaker 1:

We need to have faith for that in our cities.

Speaker 2:

We need to have faith for that in our cities.

Speaker 1:

We need to believe God for that happening in our churches. We need to make room for miracles. Call the blind up to the front and lay hands on them.

Speaker 2:

Call the blind up to the front and lay hands on them.

Speaker 1:

Call the deaf to the front and lay hands on them. If you don't make room for miracles, you will never see miracles. If you don't make room for people to get the Holy Ghost, nobody will get the Holy. Ghost you must make room for the demonstration of the Spirit and of power.

Speaker 2:

It's not just preaching the word. You have to have faith in the word of God that God will do exactly what he says.

Speaker 1:

That every word of God will be yea and amen.

Speaker 2:

It will happen.

Speaker 1:

When you have that faith, you make room for miracles. This is what I love about crusade ministry. You preach the word you speak the word of faith, but then you open up those altars and you invite those who have serious, definable, visible needs to come up to the front.

Speaker 2:

And God demonstrates that his word does have power.

Speaker 1:

And it's such a joy to be a part of things like that with so many hundreds of people all around the world, so I'm thankful for what God is doing in these last days. I'm excited about this end time ministry.

Speaker 2:

I'm excited about this end time ministry.

Speaker 1:

And I'm also so excited.

Speaker 2:

I want to take a moment just to tell everybody. Last year we had Dr Clay Jackson with us six times on Apostolic Mentoring. Letztes Jahr hatten wir Dr Clay Jackson mit uns sechs Mal auf Apostolisch Mentoring.

Speaker 1:

And he wrote the book the Gifted Church.

Speaker 2:

Und er hat das Buch Die Begabte Gemeinde.

Speaker 1:

And we have. Officially, the book is available on Amazon If you want to understand the five-fold ministry. If you want to understand what capacity and role that you play in this end time church.

Speaker 2:

Brother Sayers is putting the link to this book in the chat here on Zoom. He's also going to put the link in the chat on Facebook right now. And we cannot get this kingdom mission done If we do not work in the partnership of faith, wenn wir nicht in der Zusammenarbeit des Glaubens zusammenarbeiten.

Speaker 1:

And celebrate the full operation of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers.

Speaker 2:

Und feiern das, was Apostel, Lehrer, Evangelisten, Pastoren ausführen.

Speaker 1:

We must let the five-fold ministry loose. It's through the five-fold ministry that God is going to cause this explosion of revival around the world.

Speaker 2:

And I believe that we all have a part to play in that.

Speaker 1:

I believe that the Lord has a place for you at his table. You have a role to play, a ministry to operate. You have giftings that the Lord wants you to loose into the world. So I want to encourage everybody go out and buy that book, study that book. Study that book. Let the imputation of the spirit flow off of those pages through those words. Become what God wants you to become.

Speaker 2:

Become the kingdom.

Speaker 1:

That's what we must do Become the kingdom of God in this present world. I'm not just a part of a religion.

Speaker 2:

I am a part of the kingdom. I'm not a member of a church.

Speaker 1:

I am a believer in the church. There is a part for me to play in these last days. So in pursuit of this kingdom mission. To accomplish God's vision and the dreams that he's burning into our spirit in these last days. I want to continue this discussion about the power of collaboration, cooperation and communication.

Speaker 2:

To equip millions to reach billions.

Speaker 1:

To see billions born again of the watering of the spirit.

Speaker 2:

One principle remains unshakable you cannot reject this principle.

Speaker 1:

You cannot debate the necessity of this principle.

Speaker 2:

And here it is.

Speaker 1:

We can accomplish more together than we can alone.

Speaker 2:

When you stand alone. You stand frustrated when you stand frustrated.

Speaker 1:

When you stand alone, you're under the pressure of a mission that was never meant to be born on the shoulders of one man or one woman.

Speaker 2:

You're under the pressure of a mission that was never meant to be born.

Speaker 1:

There is power in cooperation, there is multiplication in cooperation. The act of working together towards one common goal is an essential component to accomplishing any kingdom mission.

Speaker 2:

From personal relationships to spiritual callings, from personal relationships To spiritual callings Cooperation is not merely a practical strategy, but it is a divine principle, deep, deeply rooted in God's word.

Speaker 1:

Cooperation is more than just a willingness to work together.

Speaker 2:

It is a heart posture. It is a heart posture.

Speaker 1:

It is a decision to prioritize the collective over the individual. Cooperation recognizes the unique value that each person brings to the table. Matter of fact, cooperation makes room for everybody to have a seat at the table table.

Speaker 2:

You don't have cooperation if you just have a click.

Speaker 1:

You don't have cooperation if you just have people that tell you what you want to hear. Listen, I love Brother Sayers, he's my friend.

Speaker 2:

Missionary to Germany.

Speaker 1:

This is my buddy. I love him, but he never told me what I wanted to hear. He made doing kingdom work frustrating.

Speaker 2:

Because he was always willing to show me the things that I couldn't see. He'd show me my blind spots. Thank God for seats at the table For people that don't just bring you flowers.

Speaker 1:

Thank God for people that have a different viewpoint.

Speaker 2:

Thank.

Speaker 1:

God for people that challenge you to see your blind spots. I'm saying that in a humorous way. I don't want anybody to take any offense to what I'm saying about my friend. He's on this call on Zoom right now.

Speaker 2:

But he and I sat many, many, many hours. I remember when we were writing the constitution for the German-speaking nations and we would get together. I think we worked on that for some two or so years that constitution. We missed a lot of meals While he was helping me to see that faith needs some structure.

Speaker 1:

Brother Sayers is a man of faith, but one of his great giftings is he is an engineer by mindset and he can see the way to get places.

Speaker 2:

I see down the road and I go yes, billions.

Speaker 1:

And God puts a man like Brother Sayers at the table to say okay, let's do it.

Speaker 2:

But how You've got to make room for people at the table who challenge your vision, who challenge the process, who see things from different perspectives.

Speaker 1:

Maybe they have a strong personality. Maybe they don't pat you on the back and say that was great. But if they're at the table and they say wait a minute, there's a shadow here that's going to cause us problems ten years down the road. Or maybe they look you in the eye and say you can't just say it, we gotta do something. Or maybe, just maybe, god is giving them another, one of the keys to one of the doors that are through the door that you want to walk through, but maybe, maybe God gave you a key for a door through which you have to go to the next door.

Speaker 1:

Here is the revelation for all global apostolic mentoring members.

Speaker 2:

You don't know everything, and you don't know what you don't know. You think you know everything. You think that you are God's gift and you are God's gift. But you're one of the gifts sitting at the table and if you're the only sitting at the table, and if you're the only person at the table, that gift Will be incomplete and it will lead to disappointment and frustration and potentially disillusionment you may have the vision, but if you're at the table alone, you got a problem.

Speaker 1:

Cooperation says you got a problem.

Speaker 2:

Cooperation says I value you. I know that you see something I don't see.

Speaker 1:

I know that you've got a vision that is seeing my blind spots that are completely oblivious to my understanding.

Speaker 2:

True cooperation makes room for everybody everybody's office, everybody's gifting everybody's opinion. This is so important to end time revival that we realize the value of every brother. This is so important to end time revival. That we realize the value of every brother and sister in the kingdom. There's nobody in the kingdom of God on accident.

Speaker 1:

You are chosen of the Lord.

Speaker 2:

I am chosen of the Lord. Diversity of cultures, diversity of ethnicities, diversity of languages.

Speaker 1:

Diversity of personalities.

Speaker 2:

I know you don't like that one, but diversity of personalities. This is how God organized the kingdom. Because you can't see, maybe, what I see, and, friend, I can't see what you see.

Speaker 1:

We are seen through glass, darkly when we operate alone. But together we have a complete, full, clear picture of what God wants to do. Don't tell me that you want to have end-time revival if you're not committed to working with end-time people. You've got to get over the conflict with the pastor across town. Make room for restoration of relationship.

Speaker 2:

You don't have to agree on everything To cooperate on kingdom mission.

Speaker 1:

You can put away your personal preferences while holding fast to doctrinal necessities and move towards the mission of billions. Take your church in buses to the neighboring pastor's church one Sunday night church one Sunday night Just show up and worship God together. Show up on a Saturday in the neighboring pastor city.

Speaker 2:

And pass out flyers to his church.

Speaker 1:

Call the North American Missions Church in the next city and say listen, we want to help you this weekend. How can we?

Speaker 2:

help you, help you this weekend. How can we help you?

Speaker 1:

It's not my church that needs revival. It's not my church that needs harvest. It's the church of the living God that must have revival.

Speaker 2:

If the neighboring pastor wins. We win. When the North American church has revival, we win. Wenn es Erweckung in Nordamerika gibt, dann gewinnen wir.

Speaker 1:

True cooperation requires us to make room for everybody and to serve everybody.

Speaker 2:

Wahre Kooperation bedeutet, dass wir Platz für alle schaffen und alle dienen. I'm challenging you today. Ich ermutige euch heute, ich fordere euch heraus Think about your posture and your predisposition.

Speaker 1:

I'm challenging you today Think about your posture and your predisposition towards those who are pastoring churches on your borders. Are you building walls to separate you from the churches in neighboring towns?

Speaker 2:

Baust du Mauern auf für die Pastoren und Gemeinden in den Nachbarorten.

Speaker 1:

Or are you tearing down walls and saying let's have revival together?

Speaker 2:

Oder bringst du diese Wände, diese Mauern runter und sagst lasst uns Erweckung zusammen haben?

Speaker 1:

True cooperation requires humility. True cooperation requires patience. True cooperation requires you to listen.

Speaker 2:

True cooperation requires you to listen. This is where we have many problems. We're all so busy talking. We've got our own opinions about everything. If you're going to be at the table you've got to open your ears and close your mouth. There's going to be a moment where we get to speak. But there ought to be more moments where we close our mouths and open our ears and say I need to hear what my brother and sister are saying.

Speaker 1:

They might have something I'm missing. It is possible that their words could clear up the kingdom vision.

Speaker 2:

I want to challenge you Be a good listener.

Speaker 1:

Let God perfect the mission collectively by being a good listener. When there's room for everybody at the table and everybody has an opportunity to share and everybody is being an intentional listener and everybody wants the kingdom mission over our personal agendas when we sit at the table our personal agendas. When we sit at the table harmoniously. This is when we can move from the frustration of addition to the fulfillment of multiplication.

Speaker 2:

It is combined effort, it is the combined effort and the effort that we make Combined vision that produces exponential kingdom results.

Speaker 1:

It's the synergy that's born out of cooperation that multiplies effectiveness.

Speaker 2:

We've got to have multiplies effectiveness. Es ist die Synergie, die aus dieser Kooperation heraussteigt, um das zu vermehren.

Speaker 1:

We've got to have that cooperative synergy.

Speaker 2:

Wir müssen diese kooperative Synergie haben aligned around righteous goals die um gerechte Ziele herum erzeugt werden.

Speaker 1:

celebrating unity celebrating the diversity of the kingdom, glorifying God and his mission together together. This is how we move from the frustration of addition to the fulfillment of multiplication. You must resist selfish ambitions. This is why it's so important that we take that mentality of my church, my gifting, my office out of our vocabulary out of our vocabulary.

Speaker 2:

This is a selfish mindset. This is not a kingdom mindset.

Speaker 1:

We must discipline ourselves to intentionally move selfish ambitions out of our pursuits.

Speaker 2:

Wir müssen uns darum kümmern, dass wir unseren egoistischen Gedanken aus dieser Verfolgung rausnehmen. We alluded to a moment ago closing our mouth and opening our ears.

Speaker 1:

This is why it's so very important to have the fulfillment of multiplication in the global kingdom of God Multiplication in the global kingdom of God.

Speaker 2:

We've got to be intentional about not causing division.

Speaker 1:

You cannot pursue cooperation and pursue division at the same time.

Speaker 2:

These are two different roads. Du kannst nicht gleichzeitig Zusammenarbeit nachgehen und Teilung nachgehen. Das geht nicht.

Speaker 1:

You are at a fork in the road right now.

Speaker 2:

Du kommst dann zu einer Straße, wo Straßen auseinander gehen in the road right now One road leads to the fulfillment and multiplication of the kingdom.

Speaker 1:

The other road leads to frustration, disappointment, disillusionment. But the pathway to the fulfillment and multiplication of the kingdom is a road paved with collaboration, cooperation, communication. Those type of pathways are laid by people who have intentionally given away from division. You have got to intentionally close your mouth and say I will not gossip about my brother.

Speaker 2:

I'm not going to slander the revival in Melbourne Florida just because it didn't happen in my city.

Speaker 1:

Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about when we hear about something big in some foreign land or some other city we say things like well, they probably didn't really get the Holy Ghost or maybe they didn't count.

Speaker 2:

Get the Holy Ghost.

Speaker 1:

Or maybe they didn't count right. You know that's chaos.

Speaker 2:

Who knows who really got the Holy Ghost. I remember a couple years ago when we were in the stadium in Brazil, almost 40,000 people gathered in the stadium.

Speaker 1:

The National Church came back with a Holy Ghost report. That was around 12,000 people got the Holy Ghost.

Speaker 2:

Do you know that there were people that were not even present in the crusade that took screenshots of the altar calls?

Speaker 1:

and did, had mathematicians look at the square foot to see if really you could get that many Brazilians in that stadium to verify that nobody was lying about the kingdom report. Then they sent letters to global missions saying we just don't believe 12,000 can get the Holy Ghost in one service. The National Church had to write letters to the North American Church certifying how many got the Holy.

Speaker 2:

Ghost. Die nationale Gemeinde dort musste dann Briefe an den Hauptsitz in Nordamerika schicken, um das zu bestätigen. Over a thousand ministers were present in that conference, including almost 200 crusade team members. District superintendents from North America were on the platform.

Speaker 1:

Die Superintendanten waren auf der Bühne global missions board members were on the platform.

Speaker 2:

But instead of celebrating the report of the Lord, the report of the Lord was under attack.

Speaker 1:

That is not the way to move towards multiplication. Brother Cole told me something years ago. He said Brother Robinette, you can either be a critic or a celebrator.

Speaker 2:

But you can't be both at the same time.

Speaker 1:

He said make a choice. He said when I hear that somebody's gotten the Holy Ghost. He said I don't even think about whether that could be an impossibility. He said immediately I lift my hands in the air and say thank you Jesus.

Speaker 2:

He said I wasn't there, I don't know, but I know God.

Speaker 1:

I may not know the men that were at that crusade. I may not know the women of God that were preaching the word there.

Speaker 2:

But I do know this In the last days.

Speaker 1:

Saith God, I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh. So if God is not a man that he can, lie and every promise of God is yea and amen. When I hear of somebody getting the Holy Ghost 95 people getting the Holy Ghost this weekend in Melbourne, florida.

Speaker 2:

I could get up out of this chair right now and run circles. Thank God for David Myers.

Speaker 1:

Thank God for Brayden Anderson.

Speaker 2:

Thank God for their vision to put a tent in the middle of the city.

Speaker 1:

Thank God for the believers in Melbourne that came out by the hundreds and worshipped God with such boldness. We don't have time for critics in this hour.

Speaker 2:

Shut your mouth, open your ears.

Speaker 1:

Lift up your hands and celebrate the report of the Lord globally to move to multiplication. We have to intentionally resist division. Brother Sayers was with me in Brazil. His great intellectual mind was right there by my side.

Speaker 2:

Helping me.

Speaker 1:

I told Brother Sayers one day if you can think of any way to come up with the return of the Lord in the ways that we've been doing for 30 or 40 years.

Speaker 2:

You let me know, know I'm ready. Show me the blind spots.

Speaker 1:

Help me to see things the way more perfectly.

Speaker 2:

But when that revival ended, for the sayers that I stood together.

Speaker 1:

But when that revival ended, for the Sayers and I stood together and said look what the Lord has done. Every field is different. Every city has dynamic and distinct administrative challenges. Every culture, ethnicity brings with it diverse necessities of administration, but no matter what.

Speaker 2:

Kultur, ethnicität hat ihren ganz bestimmten Weg zur Zufuhr für den Dienst. But no matter what, aber egal, was ist when.

Speaker 1:

God says this is what I'm going to do in the last days. Wenn Gott sagt, dies ist, was ich tun werde in den letzten Tagen and we start to see the report of the Lord Und wir anfangen den Bericht des Herrn zu sehen. See the report of the Lord. And we start to hear so many got the Holy Ghost here and so many got the Holy Ghost there. Don't be the fool that begins to challenge and criticize the report of the Lord.

Speaker 2:

Criticize the report of the Lord. Don't be the fool that challenges the report of the Lord. Be the man and woman of God that hears it and immediately believes it. Pivot away from division. Run fast from discord. Don't be known for creating chaos. Don't be the voice that brings destruction to the report of the Lord. We need cooperation that is rooted in a mutual respect.

Speaker 1:

We need cooperation that is rooted in that partnership of faith we need cooperation that is rooted in value I value you that is rooted in value.

Speaker 2:

I value you.

Speaker 1:

We need cooperation that is rooted in truth and love. Don't let yourself get manipulative in the kingdom, don't let yourself. Get manipulative in the kingdom.

Speaker 2:

Don't let yourself get caught up in unholy objectives. You can't accomplish the kingdom mission alone, and I can't do it either.

Speaker 1:

This is what I love about apostolic mentoring that every week we're here lifting each other's arms.

Speaker 2:

That we're challenging each other's constructs.

Speaker 1:

That we're challenging each other's constructs.

Speaker 2:

We're causing each other to see the blind spots. We're working together in the partnership of faith.

Speaker 1:

To see and celebrate the great billions of souls that God is going to give us in these last days. Friends, I don't mean to come on and try to offend you in any way, shape or form. I just want to challenge us to allow God to build a partnership of faith that causes multiplication in the kingdom.

Speaker 2:

That we allow God to build a collaboration of faith in cooperation for the kingdom. As we close this session out today, just a moment.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to ask us to take ourselves off mute.

Speaker 2:

In just a moment, and I want us to begin to pray together. That God will help us, as a body, begin to celebrate and value each other.

Speaker 1:

That whatever predispositions we've had in the past.

Speaker 2:

Whatever oppositions we've had to one another. That today we would go ahead and put another seat at the table and say I need my brother here, I can't do this without him. I challenge you today Fix the faults.

Speaker 1:

Fix those hurts and pains Intentionally pursue kingdom alignment with your brother and sister in neighboring towns and cities.

Speaker 2:

I'm not just talking about the United Pentecostal Church. There are ALJC churches that are near us that we need to find a way to build a bridge to, to build a bridge to. Es gibt andere Verbände wo wir Brücken hinbauen sollen, andere Gemeinden.

Speaker 1:

There's WPF churches in your city that you have shunned for long enough. Let's build a bridge.

Speaker 2:

Wir sollen Brücken bauen zu Gemeinden, die nicht zu unserer Organisation gehören.

Speaker 1:

There might be independent churches that are near you that love this message, that have been working alone because we were just so arrogant. For so let's build a bridge.

Speaker 2:

Oder auch unabhängige Kirchen, wo wir Brücken hinzubauen sollen.

Speaker 1:

There may even be unaffiliated works that don't preach the fullness of the gospel yet yes, there are also churches that have not yet preached the fullness of the gospel.

Speaker 2:

They haven't yet preached the whole gospel. Of the gospel, we would just build a bridge.

Speaker 1:

That was one of the things that the Lord allowed us to do together in the German-speaking nations, fifty or so Trinitarian churches that God allowed us to build a bridge to. Across Germany and Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland. We would bring teams of ministers every year to teach and preach in those cities. What if we had?

Speaker 2:

shunned them.

Speaker 1:

What if we had acted like they are competition or a threat?

Speaker 2:

threat.

Speaker 1:

What if we had not intentionally a bridge to somebody who was not yet in the fullness of the gospel?

Speaker 2:

How many?

Speaker 1:

hundreds of people would have never received the Holy Ghost and been baptized in Jesus' name if we had kept our arms out like this. The Lord has sent me to apostolic mentoring today.

Speaker 2:

To challenge you to build a bridge.

Speaker 1:

Right now, as we're closing out this apostolic mentoring session.

Speaker 2:

Let the Holy.

Speaker 1:

Ghost begin to speak to you about what bridges need to be built where it might be a brother in your organization. It might be a sister that sits across the church, but it might just be an unaffiliated work in your city that you've ignored long enough. The Holy Ghost is challenging you. There's a revival he wants to give you that doesn't fit in a box.

Speaker 2:

Tear open the lid, get out of the box. Let God challenge you.

Speaker 1:

Let God open your understanding and let God show you where he wants you to build a bridge. I just want to pray for you here today and as we begin to pray. I'd like to ask everybody to take themselves off mute. And I'm going to pray a prayer of faith over every believer. Over every nation that God will lose pure cooperation.

Speaker 2:

That.

Speaker 1:

God will put in your spirit as we pray where you need to build a bridge. It as we pray where you need to build a bridge.

Speaker 2:

Dass Gott in deinem Geist dir sagt, wo du eine Brücke bauen musst.

Speaker 1:

Because these bridges are key to billions.

Speaker 2:

Denn diese Brücken sind der Schlüssel zu den Milliarden.

Speaker 1:

Let's pray together right now. Lass uns zusammen beten by the authority of the word of. God, by the power of the name of Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Ghost that's here with us today, I release the spiritual revelation of collaboration.

Speaker 2:

Speaker 1:

Let there be a burden to make room for everybody at the table. Let our eyes be open to make room for everybody at the table.

Speaker 2:

Let our eyes be opened, our ears be opened and any negativity in our mouths be stopped, and let the body of Christ work together in the spirit of unity, millions reaching billions honoring one another, respecting one another making room for one another in the name of Jesus. Making room for one another In the name of Jesus. Reveal the bridges. God Reveal the destinations that we need to take this gospel to Open our understanding.
