GOD'S PLAN IS PEOPLE POWER

*God's Plan Is People Power!*

*As a church body we are bound by "spiritual ignorance." Our pews are filled with converts....followers of Jesus Christ...who do not understand what it means to be a DISCIPLE of Jesus Christ. They haven't been taught there is a price to pay. They haven't been taught that to be a DISCIPLE they must give up their lives and follow CHRIST in single-minded obedience. They haven't been taught they are responsible for doing the work of the ministry.*

**God's plan is PEOPLE POWER. He doesn't work through structures. He works through men and women. The God that we serve is a God of purpose. He has placed apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers in the Church to build up and fully equip the saints to be DISCIPLES...to do the work of the ministry.**(Ephesians 4:11-12)

***Who did Paul say was going to do the work?
***Who did he say was going to do the ministering?

The SAINTS...God's consecrated people! God has planned for all the members of the Body of Christ to do the work of the ministry, not just the preachers standing behind the pulpit.

****AS A DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST, WE ARE A FULL-TIME MINISTER!****Pastor Jack Sparrow


AS A DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST, YOU ARE A FULL-TIME MINISTER!

The purpose of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers is to pertect you...to fully equip you as a DISCIPLE of Jesus Christ...not so that you can sit in your church Sunday after Sunday like a "bump on a log".

God's purpose is that you walk out of your fully equipped to go back into your sphere of influence...your home, school, work place...ful of the power and authorityof the Holy Spirit to spread the Gospel, to break the devil'spower, to cast out devils, to lay hands on the sick, and to MAKE OTHER DISCIPLES who will do the same!

Wow do you realize what's happening to you and I when we are under a ministry year after year? Were're BECOMING DISCIPLES...DISCIPLES OF CHRIST.

*As a DISCIPLE of Jesus Christ, you are a FULL-TIME minister! Your main profession is not being a housewife, police officer, doctor, teacher, secretary, carpenter, accountant, farmer, or retired. The world system with the devils help has deceived the body of Christ. We need to get our eye off of the worlds business. Get your eyes off the tools of your trade.Our main professionis being a Disciple... a LIVING WITNESS... of Jesus Christ. Everything else is secondary.*

*Our main goal... our main purpose as a DISCIPLE...must be to build the kingdom of God upon the earth. Our desires must be focused upon fulfilling the commission Christ has given you of "MAKING DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS."*

*JESUS TRAINED AND EQUIPPED HIS DISCIPLES TO DO THE SAME WORKS HE HAD DONE*Pastor Jack Sparrow***
