Honor Culture I have been teaching a class at NewArk School of Supernatural Ministry on honor culture. I am using “Honor Culture” by Danny Silk. I would recommend this book for anyone in any type of leadership position.
I worked and lived as a Missionary in Colombia and Honduras for 15+ years before returning to attend Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in 2008. We were planning on attending just 1st year. It was so good that I had a strong desire to attend 2nd year. I ended up pulling my application for 2nd year after hearing from the Lord about taking a position with my sending church, Family of Faith Community Church here in Ohio. I was trained at Bethel as a church and school planter. I have already planted a school and there is no need to plant a church in Newark as I am on staff at a very good one that is pressing into revival.
God is performing signs and wonder throughout the world. He is manifesting His Presence and Glory everywhere.
I have heard feedback from people that say that I am seeking signs and I should seek Jesus instead. That is a bit confusing to me. Jesus is the one doing them, so if Jesus did not want to do signs and wonders, then I guess He just would not do them.
We are able to approach God because of His grace. His love towards us is amazing. There are two foundations of revival that everything else is built on. Love is the base foundation that is framed by grace. His grace is what gives us the ability to love. Grace has been grossly misunderstood. Grace is not the covering for sin. The blood of Jesus covers our sin. Grace is the ability not to sin. Every time you make a decision not to sin it is because of his grace. The scripture says,
If you have been a Christian for long you have heard the term, "I'm just a sinner saved by grace". In light of the teaching of the Apostle Paul does this not sound like an oxymoron?
While growing up in the state of Washington our high school had an unusual vacation called apple vacation. The Yakima Valley is well know for their apple orchards. One of my class mates dad had one of these orchards. Mr Cowan was a hard working man. He planted, nourished, and harvested his crops. This was his life but I never did call him an apple. Growing apples is what he does but it is not who he is.
