"Equipping the Saints"


"For the perfecting  of the saints, for the work
of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ."
(Ephesians 4:12)


The Lord Jesus Christ spent most of His time with His apostles.  Why?  He was teaching them, pouring himself into them, feeding them, preparing them, molding them, and anointing them to carry on after His death and resurrection.  He knew these, He had chosen, would be His hands, His voice, and His feet in the earth for the purpose of "Equipping the Saints."  


The Lord was passing on His golden character, His humility, His impetus of love for those He would soon die for, and he wanted to make sure they learned these lessons well, so He washed the apostles' feet.  He taught them how to pray over people for healing, how to cast out devils, how to minister, and most of all, how to pray.  He emptied Himself into these men for the day when He would no longer be with them physically.  They knew not what all the Lord Jesus Christ would suffer, nor did they understand when He spoke of not always being with them, but they sensed this was no ordinary man, and they sensed He was about to accomplish an amazing and extraordinary thing beyond healings and miracles, but they knew not the extent of Christ's suffering soon to come.

 
Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, died on the cross, and in three days, He rose again!  He IS risen and alive forevermore, soon to come and gather His Church in a meeting in the air, the Rapture of the Church, His bride.  But, we're not just sitting around waiting for the sound of the trumpet; we have a mandate to love the lost, heal the sick, bring the world to repentance, baptize in His name, and lay hands on people for the infilling of the Holy Ghost.  This requires discipling, teaching, "equipping," and training the Saints to come off of the milk and eat the meat, so to speak, in preparation to harvest the world.  Why?  Because Jesus Christ is not willing that ANY be lost or perish!

PromiseLand Church has its own "Dream Team" to accomplish the mandate handed down from the Lord Jesus Christ to His present day Church.  They have come together in one cohesive, visionary, anointed, New Church Order format to "equip" the Saints to do the work of their ministries, and become fishers of men.  Each week, PromiseLand will bring these powerful anointed Ministers, at different times, to preach, teach, prophesy, anoint, and mold the body of Christ into a unified powerful working army to win the world, and teach others to win the world, for our Lord Jesus Christ.  All over the world, by streaming, the body of Christ will be strengthened, prepared, illuminated, and anointed to go forth in their ministries, in their individual talents and gifts, to lead people to the Alpha and Omega, the King of Kings, the Savior of the world!


                                              


We are the army of the Lord, and we've got a big job to do; it requires strong leadership, which we have, and a plan, which we have; it's called "Rules for Refuge."  You must be equipped in this hour.   Please be sure to contact someone at  promiselandchurch.net to get a copy, and we're going forth, armed and ready to win this war.  You say, "War, what war?"  It's a battle for the souls of men, and it's fierce because the devil knows he has but a short time.  But, Isaiah 52:10 set him straight; it says, "The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God."  Says it all, doesn't it?  We've read the back of the book and WE WIN!



We are not alone in this fight; we have innumerable angels all around, and they're waging war in the heavenlies as we speak.  Be assured, Almighty God does NOT lose, ever!  We shall come forth victorious, strong, powerful, and bringing in the sheaves with us  ...  And, it's all because we have The Dream Team moving in authority and power, "Equipping the Saints," with vision to win the world!
