Current Series
Sun Stand Still - What Happens When You Dare
to Ask God For The Impossible Sundays at 10 am Startings
January 22nd |  Does the brand of faith you live by produce
the kinds of results in your life that you read about in the Biblical
stories of men and women of faith? Chances are, not even close. But it
doesn't have to stay that way. In this series, you will be challenged to
believe that the audacious faith that we see in the bible, the faith
that causes a man to pray and see the sun stand still in the sky, is the
same faith we can walk in for ourselves today. This
is more than just another series. It's a call to all of us to begin
living the life of audacity God has created us for.

Ecclesia Gathering Sundays at
7 pm |  We will have a Ecclesia gathering every
Sunday night at 7 pm, except on certain holidays and special events. We
will receive a weekly email about these exceptions.
Some Biblical explanation of Ekklesia: Matt. 16:16 Simon Peter answered,
You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus said to
him, Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not
reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 I also say to
you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church
(Ecclesia) and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. 19 I will
give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on
earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth
shall have been loosed in heaven.
CHURCH - This is the first occurrence of this important word in the New
Testament. In this first use of ecclesia, it seems likely that Jesus had
the whole church in mind. He was not just building a local assembly, but
a universal church composed of all who make the same confession of faith
that Peter made. The word ecclesia was not new to the disciples. This
word was applied to the popular assembly of Greek citizens that helped
to govern a city or district. A group or assembly of persons called
together for a particular purpose. A socio-political group acting as a
judicial council city council, council of judges.
Ecclesia is the delivery system for Gods destiny, vision and purpose.
The Ecclesia is made up of those who have been called out from the
throne of God to seat in His congress. A congress of rulers, a congress
or ruling legislature dealing with the issues of governing community vs.
only dealing with religious issues. The Ecclesia is the overcomer of
hells power/authority (gates) vs. Building or Meeting. Your place in
it: You have a seat but must qualify to take it! You are qualified by
being equipped. There is no elitism but you must be trained. Ecclesia
is the vehicle of dominion and destroyer of oppression. It is the human
steward of Gods Kingdom, designed to mature His sons and co-rule with
Christ, rendering judgment and liberation to the cosmos (Rom.8:17-22).
The Ecclesia, in this age, is not designed as a theocracy to replace
God-ordained civil government (Rom.13:1-7); it is a governing body for
itself. It is, however, the prophetic voice of God on the earth to speak
Gods will and judgment to people, cultures, and nations (Ps.2;
Matt.16:19; 1Cor.6:1 Does any one of you, when he has a case against
his neighbor, dare to go to law before the unrighteous and not before
the saints? 2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world?
If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the
smallest law courts? 3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How
much more matters of this life?). |
Coming Events
2012 Southeast IAM Family Convening February 21st - 24th |  In this hour, in this age, in this generation, the Rock of the REVELATION is Jesus Christ!
Upon this Rock I will build MY Ecclesia! The force of the Ecclesia has arisen and the gates & portals of hell and the kingdom of darkness will never prevail this mighty Ecclesia. Like the ferociousness of Davids mighty men, like that terrible sound of Judah bearing down on the enemies of Israel, like the rumbling of the shout that Joshua commanded against the mighty walls of Jericho. WE, The Ecclesia, Arise Now!
Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. (Matthew 16:17-19)
