This document provides information about a learning to prophesy seminar happening that evening from 7-9pm. It begins by defining prophecy as speaking out the mind of God under divine inspiration. It then discusses what prophecy means according to the Bible and dictionaries, including that it involves edifying, exhorting, and comforting people as well as restoring God's image in them. The document emphasizes that prophecy comes from having God at the center of one's heart and being filled with His love, so that His love can then be poured out to others. It concludes by having attendees declare prophecies over each other based on Bible verses provided and encourages reading Isaiah 49:1-3 in preparation for sharing next week.
This document tells a story about a man who was calling out to God but failing to recognize how God was responding. God spoke to the man through a singing bird, thunder, a shining star, and the birth of the man's son, but each time the man did not listen or understand. Finally, God touched the man's cheek with a butterfly, but the man brushed it away without comprehending. The moral is that God speaks to us in many ways, but we must have open senses to recognize His communications.

This document provides an overview of a seminar on learning to prophesy. It defines prophecy as speaking out the mind of God under divine inspiration. It discusses some dictionary definitions of prophecy and how prophecy is described in the Bible. It explores what prophecy involves, including edifying, exhorting, and comforting people. It examines what fills God's heart (love) and how our hearts must be in tune with God's heart to prophesy well. The document outlines three realms of prophecy: the Bible, prophetic inspiration, and activations where participants practice prophesying to each other. It encourages reading Isaiah 49:1-3 for the next session.
Prophecy is speaking out the mind of God under divine inspiration. It involves edifying, exhorting, and comforting people by restoring God's image in them, showing them God's plans, and communicating how God sees them. True prophecy comes from being Christ-centered and having one's heart filled with God's love, which is then poured out to others. Several scriptures are presented that declare God's promises of forgiveness, blessings, healing, and deliverance. The document encourages activating these prophecies by declaring them over others and concludes with a prayer for revelation, transformation, and effectiveness in prophetic ministry.
The document discusses various aspects of prayer based on biblical passages. It identifies several purposes and benefits of prayer, including communicating and developing intimacy with God, glorifying God, submitting to God, gaining strength and sustenance, receiving wisdom and forgiveness, and finding protection and deliverance. Prayer is important because God listens to and responds to righteous prayers, invites believers to cast their burdens on Him, and imparts power to resist temptation. The cornerstone of prayer is loving God with all one's heart, and Christians are instructed to follow the example of the Lord's prayer.

They can accompany us through life and remind us of the
power that dwells within us. They can help us to live a life full
of love.
The document provides a summary of the biblical book of Ezekiel chapter 37, which contains Ezekiel's vision of the valley of dry bones. In the vision, God asks Ezekiel if the dry bones can live again, and commands Ezekiel to prophesy to the bones. As Ezekiel prophesies, the bones come together and are clothed with flesh and skin, but have no breath. God then commands Ezekiel to prophesy to the breath, and as he does so breath enters the bodies and they come alive as a vast army. God explains that the vision signifies his ability to restore the people of Israel to their homeland from exile, bringing new life where there seemed to be no hope. The document then discusses the concept of biblical hope and how

This document is a theology of missions paper submitted for a class at Liberty University Baptist Theological Seminary. It discusses several key aspects of mission theology, including the missional nature of God, examples of mission work in scripture, the relationship between mission work, ecclesiology and the Trinity, key themes like the Kingdom of God and shalom, and the roles of missionaries, church leaders and lay people in mission work. The conclusion emphasizes that worship of God leads to mission work, as the love believers receive from God spills over into love for others.
The document discusses the spiritual gift of apostleship. It provides biblical references that describe the apostles' roles and establishes criteria for identifying apostleship, such as establishing new ministries/churches and overseeing other groups. However, it notes some issues with directly applying the original apostles' experiences today. Instead, it offers a modernized list of traits associated with apostleship, such as being culturally sensitive when ministering across communities/countries and demonstrating vision for the church's mission. Readers are asked to reflect on examples from their own lives that align with these traits rather than immediately deciding if this is their spiritual gift. The document closes with a prayer.
The word of god as a foundation for church growthElvis Amenyitor
1. The early church faced a problem of neglecting widows in daily food distribution. The Twelve appointed seven men to oversee this ministry so they could focus on prayer and preaching.
2. As a result of this change, the word of God spread rapidly and the number of disciples and priests following Christ greatly increased.
3. Building the church requires using the spiritual gifts God has given each believer. Members should discover their gifts, serve others' needs, and use their gifts faithfully and prayerfully for God's glory. Working together in this way expands God's kingdom.

This document contains excerpts from scripture and other writings about the gospel and kingdom of God. It discusses key aspects of the gospel message including salvation through faith in Jesus, repentance, and the good news of God's kingdom. Some passages explore what the kingdom is and how it relates to righteousness, peace and joy. The document also examines reasons for Moses' reluctance to take on a ministerial role as called by God.
The document discusses the spiritual gift of teaching. It provides several Bible passages about teaching, including Acts describing Apollos who taught diligently from the scriptures. Romans and 1 Corinthians discuss how God gives different gifts, including teaching. The lesson notes that teachers in the Bible taught people about the gospel in the churches. It also notes a disagreement with viewing teachers and ministers as the same, arguing teachers specifically teach in places like Sunday school, while ministers have a different role. The document closes with a prayer asking God to help Christians learn and become better through understanding spiritual gifts like teaching.
The document discusses the importance and power of prayer in the church and for Christians. It notes that prayer meetings used to be a central part of church life but have declined in many Western churches today. When the author was first converted, their local church had vibrant weekly prayer meetings, men's meetings, and outreach events, but these were suspended due to conflicts with television viewing. The document advocates that prayer, studying the Bible, and evangelism should be core priorities and activities for all Christians and churches. It provides many examples from the Bible of the emphasis on prayer and how prayer strengthened the early church.
The document is a summary of a sermon delivered at the Midway City Vietnamese Alliance Church English Worship Gathering on December 27, 2009. The sermon discusses practicing Jesus' life and why it can be difficult, focusing on the realities of sin and faith according to passages from 1 John. It also examines how Christians can grow spiritually through obedience to God's word and walking as Jesus did.
Whatever Happened to the Prayer MeetingPeter Hammond
The document discusses the decline of the prayer meeting in many Western churches. It notes that prayer meetings were once a central part of church life but are now rarely held or attract few members. The author argues this decline is due to churches prioritizing other activities like music and television over prayer and evangelism. The author advocates for restoring prayer as a regular practice, citing numerous Bible passages about the importance and power of prayer.
This document discusses providing spiritual food and companions for the journey to holiness. It describes how the Word of God, doing God's will, and the Eucharist provide spiritual food. It recommends participating in a small group using the TMIY 7 Steps template as a way to find spiritual companions. The small group and potential spiritual mentors in the parish can help guide members further in their spiritual journey beyond weekly TMIY meetings.
The document provides information about Word of Faith Christian Center in Nashville, including a brief history, the purpose and vision of establishing spiritual connections, and an overview of the Spiritual Growth Institute discipleship program. The program includes classes to help participants grow in their relationship with God through teaching and two Bible study programs. The purpose of the center is to help people experience God, enjoy fellowship, esteem the word of God, be empowered for ministry, and embrace evangelism.
This document outlines characteristics and guidelines for prophecy based on biblical principles. It discusses that prophecy should: be in accordance with scripture; give glory to Jesus; edify and not destroy; love the sinner but hate sin; convict but not condemn; present the Lord as a solution; not be controlling; stand the test of time; be tested; be a sign to unbelievers; invite growth; and be given in proportion to one's faith. It emphasizes that the Bible is the final authority and anything said as prophecy must align with scripture.
ONE DAY EVANGELISM COURSE - Depending on the Holy Spirit.pptxMakOye1
This document provides teaching on depending on the Holy Spirit when witnessing to others. It emphasizes that while preparation is important, ultimately believers must rely on the Holy Spirit's power and guidance. The Holy Spirit empowers believers and gives them the boldness and words to share their faith. Believers should be continually filled with the Spirit to effectively witness at all times. Allowing the Spirit to work through them and speak truth in love will enable believers to lead many to Christ.
This document provides guidelines for members of a ministry prayer team. It outlines the team's objectives of loving those ministered to and being a channel for the Holy Spirit. It describes team member roles and qualifications, desirable character traits, and protocols for prayer ministry, including catching people and appropriate touching during prayer. The overall purpose is to ensure prayer ministry is done respectfully and for the benefit of all through following established best practices.
3. What is Foundational for Discipling Someone? Notes (A4)William Anderson
The document provides guidance on foundational principles for discipling someone. It emphasizes establishing the "big picture" of salvation history with Jesus at the center. When discipling others, the initial focus should be on "being" rather than "doing" - helping them understand their new identity in Christ through the gospel. This establishes the proper motivation from a transformed heart before exhorting good works. Key tools for growth are engaging with the word of God, prayer, and fellowship within the church community.
Our beloved Bishop, Brother Itse Enonuya admonished and encouraged the congregation to grow her interest in the work of evangelism.
He asked this key question: What makes an evangelistic congregation?

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

4. Alpha Weekend Away
What are three things do
you think are important
to know about
before taking part in
the Weekend Away?
5. Alpha Weekend Away
Remember that Ministry
simply means
• Praying for others in the power of
the Holy Spirit
• Meeting the needs of others on the
prompting of the Holy Spirit
6. Theology for Ministry
Jesus’ Ministry
Luke 4:18, 19 "The Spirit of the
Lord is on me, because he has
anointed me to preach good news to
the poor. He has sent me to
proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to release the oppressed,”
7. Theology
for Ministry
The Twelve
Luke 9:1 “When Jesus had called the
Twelve together, he gave them
power and authority to drive out all
demons and to cure diseases,”
8. Theology for
Ministry
The 72 Others
Luke 10:1-3 “After this the Lord appointed
seventy-two others and sent them two by
two ahead of him to every town and place
where he was about to go. He told them,
‘The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are
few. Ask the Lord of the harvest,
therefore, to send out workers into his
harvest field. Go! I am sending you out like
lambs among wolves.’”
9. Theology for
Ministry
The Great Commission
Matthew 28:18-20 “Then Jesus came to them
and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth
has been given to me. Therefore go and make
disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey
everything I have commanded you. And surely I
am with you always, to the very end of the
age.’"
10. Theology for
Ministry
Paul’s Testimony
Romans 15:17-19 “Therefore I glory in Christ
Jesus in my service to God. I will not venture to
speak of anything except what Christ has
accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles
to obey God by what I have said and done— by
the power of signs and miracles, through the
power of the Spirit. So from Jerusalem all the
way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed
the gospel of Christ.”
12. Why do we pray?
Matthew 6:5 “And when you pray, .
. .
(didn’t say, if – said when!)
13. Why do we pray?
Mark 11:24 “Therefore I tell you,
whatever you ask for in prayer,
believe that you have received it,
and it will be yours.”
(He is waiting on us to ask!)
14. Why do we pray?
Luke:5:16
“Jesus
often
withdrew
to lonely
places
and
prayed.”
15. Why do we pray?
John 17:9
“I pray
for them.”
(Good enough
for Jesus –
good enough
for me.)
16. Why do we pray?
Acts 1:14
“They all joined
together
constantly in
prayer.”
(That takes care
of when!)
17. Why do we pray?
Romans 8:26
“We do not know what
we ought to pray for,
but the Spirit
intercedes for us with
groans that words
cannot express.”
(It is okay to struggle
with prayer
sometimes.)
18. Prayer Ministry
We have covered
basic prayer with
our Table
Families and we
have prayed
together.
BUT. . . .
24. Mission
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world
that he gave his one and only
Son, that whoever believes in
him shall not perish but have
eternal life.
25. Mission
He is committed to the
salvation of the world
• He has sent His Son to
achieve that salvation
• He has sent His Spirit
as the means by which
we enter into that
salvation.
26. Model
God the Son, in
his life, death
on the cross,
resurrection
and ascension
is the
foundation
and model for
all ministry.
27. Model
1 John 4:9
“This is how
God showed
his love among
us: He sent
his one and
only Son into
the world that
we might live
through him.”
29. Means
God the Spirit is
the personal
empowering
presence of God
and is the means
by which the
lordship of
Christ is shown
and put into
action.
30. Means
Acts 2: 32-33, 38
“God has raised this Jesus to
life, and we are all
witnesses of the fact.
Exalted to the right hand
of God, he has received
from the Father the
promised Holy Spirit and
has poured out what you
now see and hear… "Repent
and be baptized, every one
of you, in the name of
Jesus Christ for the
forgiveness of your sins.
And you will receive the
gift of the Holy Spirit.”
32. Ministry
God in his purposes has chosen to work
through the church, Christ’s body, to
implement his plan of salvation.
33. Ministry
Eph. 4:11-13 “It was he
who gave some to be
apostles, some to be
prophets, some to be
evangelists, and some to
be pastors and teachers,
to prepare God's people
for works of service, so
that the body of Christ
may be built up until we all
reach unity in the faith
and in the knowledge of
the Son of God and
become mature, attaining
to the whole measure of
the fullness of Christ.”
39. MMeasure
II Timothy 3:16-17
“All Scripture is God-
breathed and is
useful for teaching,
rebuking, correcting
and training in
righteousness, so
that the man of God
may be thoroughly
equipped for every
good work.”
40. MMeasure
We seek to ensure that our
ministry is always consistent
with God’s word.
41. Logistical Considerations
• Be prepared
spiritually and
physically.
• Pray and perhaps
fast.
• Have someone
else praying for
you.
47. Logistical Considerations
• During any
chapel/healing
prayer time:
– Share
impressions
(words of
knowledge) with
person
– Ask if there was
a sense of
something
happening
51. Useful Scripture Points:
1 John 5:14
“This is the confidence we have in
approaching God: that if we ask anything
according to his will, he hears us.”
52. Useful Scripture Points:
Matthew 28:20
“and teaching them to obey everything I have
commanded you. And surely I am with you
always, to the very end of the age."
54. Useful Scripture Points:
Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you,"
declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and
not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a
future.”
55. Useful Scripture Points:
Isaiah 30:21
“Whether you turn to the right or to the
left, your ears will hear a voice behind
you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’”
56. Useful Scripture Points:
Romans 8:28
“And we know that in all things God works
for the good of those who love him, who
have been called according to his purpose.“
62. Use the KISS method
• Short
– Like a girl’s skirt –
long enough
to cover
the subject
but short
enough to
be interesting.
63. If you go to them
Remember to pray in pairs –
men for men and women for women.
64. If you go to them
Always give them an
“out.”
(A graceful way to
decline without hurting
your feelings or theirs.)
“Would you like for me to
pray with you or are
you all right on your
own?”
66. When praying for a guest
Ask if they have
something they would
particularly like to be
prayed for –
understanding, faith,
assurance, wisdom,
something that is
standing between them
and experiencing God,
etc.
Take time with this part.
67. When praying for a guest
Ask if it is all right if you touch them.
(Keep your touch light and not on head.)
68. When praying with a guest
• Ask the
Holy Spirit
to come.
• Then wait
on God for
further
instructions.
69. When praying with a guest
• Remember KISS.
• Pray for what
they ask.
• Pray for
anything the
Lord asks you to
mention.
70. When praying with a guest
• Team members
who are not “lead”
are encourage to
add comments or
additional short
prayers, if
prompted by the
Holy Spirit.
71. When praying with a guest
• Continue to pray
while you think
something is
happening.
– Remember the
eyes open thing?
– Don’t get caught
up in
manifestation
72. When praying with a guest
• Silently ask God
what he wants you
do say or do, how he
wants you to
encourage the person
and what gifts He
wants to impart.
– Prophesy =
fleeting impressions –
Share it!
73. After prayer
Ask them how the prayer has made them
feel or if they felt anything happen.
74. After prayer
“Do you understand
God to be saying
anything?”
“Are you aware of
God doing anything?”
Make sure that they
don’t feel dumb.
75. After prayer
If “nothing” happened,
can pray again. Can
ask if there is
anything they can
think of that might
be blocking–
hampering-
obstructing-
hindering.
Can ask for its
removal.
76. After prayer
Assure that “something” did happen – just
sometimes, we don’t “get it” at first.
That includes EVERYONE present!
77. After prayer
It is the
Holy Spirit’s
ministry.
Answers to
prayer can
appear to be
gradual.
78. After prayer
Encourage them to
• Continue to study
scripture.
• Let you know
“what happens.”
• Allow us to pray
again for them.
79. After prayer
Encourage
• Christian community -
where long term
healing and spiritual
growth takes place.
– Warn against
possible temptation
– Refuse to consider
that “nothing”
happened.
87. Word of Knowledge
I Corinthians 12:8
“To one there is
given through the
Spirit the
message of
wisdom, to
another the
message of
knowledge by
means of the
same Spirit”
88. Word of Knowledge
One of the gifts of
the Spirit.
If you receive a
Word of
Knowledge, share it
with the pastor and
Alpha Leader and
the person.
99. But . . .
What are the greatest challenges or
toughest issues you face about the
Weekend Away and/or the Healing
Service?
Share that with someone sitting near you
and pray for each other. Covenant to
pray for each other about those issues.
100. Share that with someone sitting near you
and pray for each other. Covenant to
pray for each other about those issues.
Editor's Notes
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your spirit and they shall be created and you shall renew the face of the earth. O God, who by the light of the Holy spirit, did entrust the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit, we may be truly wise and ever enjoy your consolations.
