This document discusses experiencing God at work through prayer and intercession. It defines key terms like marketplace ministry and the seven mountains of influence. It encourages dedicating time each day to pray and listen for God's voice, even at work, and provides examples of people like Rees Howells who stood in intercession. The document suggests asking God a question and being open to hearing his response to have a daily communion with him.
The Power of Networking in Ministry TodayPLAcademy
Success in life and ministry doesn't happen overnight. In fact, it may take years for you to have success. That is why it is important for you to continuously build your network relationships. With the right networks, you can generate success sooner than later. The bringing together of like minded individuals who, through relationship building, become walking, talking advertisements for one another."
Disciple-Making, according to Greg Ogden requires at least tow major factors: Internalisation and Multiplication. This presentation adds to his ideas with some scripture and illustrative ideas challenging followers of Christ to become, and make, disciples in his image.

Work as Vocation - Introduction
Our work can only be a calling if it is reimagined as a mission of service to something beyond
merely our own interests. Thinking of work mainly as a means of self-fulfillment and self-realization
slowly crushes a person and undermines society itself. (19)
The source of the idea of work as “vocation” is the Christian Scriptures.
The Reformers, like Luther and Calvin, argued all work, secular/sacred, was a calling from God.
• Luther – Human work is part of God's providential care of the world.
• Reformed/Kuyper – Work not only cares for creation, but directs/structures it. The purpose of
work is to create a culture that honors God and enables people to thrive.
Pg. 22 – Common conceptions of what it means to integrate faith/work.
Everyone imagines accomplishing things, and everyone finds himself largely incapable of
producing them. Everyone wants to be successful rather than forgotten, and everyone wants to make a
difference in life. But that is beyond the control of any of us. If this life is all there is... everyone will
be forgotten, nothing we do will make any difference, and all good endeavors, even the best, will come
to naught.
Unless there is God. If the God of the Bible exists, and there is a True Reality beneath this one,
and this life is not the only life, then every good endeavor, even the simplest ones, pursued in response
to God's calling, can matter forever. (29)
Illustration: Leaf Niggle (Tolkien)
PART ONE – GOD'S PLAN FOR WORK
The Design of Work
The Bible's view of work as connected to the divine order and human purpose is distinct among
religions.
Gen 1 and 2 show that God works to create and care for his creation.
• God not only works, but commissions workers to carry on his work (Gen 1:28)
• “subdue” indicates creation was originally good but undeveloped
• God's intention was that humanity would develop this potential
Work was part of God's perfect design for human life, because we were made in God's image,
and part of his glory and happiness is that he works, as does the Son of God, who said, “My Father is
always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.” (36) (Jn 5:17)
Work is as much a basic human need as food, beauty, rest, friendship, prayer, and sexuality; it is
not simply medicine but food for the soul. Without meaningful work we sense significant loss and
emptiness.
Work is one of the ways we make ourselves useful to others and discover our identities.
True freedom comes from working because it is part of our design.
• Illustration: A fish is only free in water, honoring the reality of its nature.
• Freedom is finding the right restrictions, those that fit with the realities of our nature and the
world's nature.
• Therefore, God's commandments are liberating because they direct us to be what we were
designed to be. (Is 48:17-18)
The Limits of All Work
Your relationship with God is the most import.

Perspectives Lesson Five: Unleashing the Gospel -- 202002MarkTab Ministries
Delivered to the Perspectives class in Statesboro, GA on February 20, 2020
In this lesson we will see how God launched the World Christian movement. We will discover that the Church is a double structure that endures to this day. We will watch how ordinary people chose a strategy of suffering which they learned from Jesus and will consider how we can live with that same apostolic passion. We will examine the biblical grounds of hope for an enormous in-gathering at the end of the age.

Understand? ? ? , The source, the warning of understanding, understanding is...franktsao4
This very important webpage here lets us know how many obstacles we have to overcome in order to enter the way of God. We must abide by the teachings of the Bible and use the sword of the Holy Spirit to walk this path, because this is a short-handed battle. In this hand-to-hand combat, if you win, you will have the opportunity to bring people to the kingdom of eternal life. If you lose, then this person has little hope of becoming a citizen of the kingdom of God, because you can believe that it is God’s work, and God It has been arranged that Jesus Christ will be our mediator. Only by having the correct concept of understanding can Jesus live in us happily
CORE VALUES
BELIEFS&
02
Our Core Values & Beliefs booklet is an attempt to provide a brief summary
of who the Vineyard is and what we believe. Our Statement of Purpose is a
concise affirmation of why we exist. Our Core Values give meaning to all that
we do. They also drive our purpose, define what is central to us, position the
Vineyard in the larger body of Christ, and remove ambiguity in mission. You
can learn much more about our Core Values if you visit www.vineyardusa.org.
Our Statement of Faith provides the foundation for all that we are. The
Statement of Faith is based on the Bible. The Bible is our final authority in all
matters of faith and practice. However, since the Bible is a diverse collection
of narrative stories, poetry, law, and letters, it is helpful to summarize its
teaching in a concise form that can be comprehended by both those deeply
rooted in the church and those who have little exposure to the Bible. This is
the historical function that the ancient universal church creeds played in the
first four hundred years of Christ-centered faith.
It is also important for each community of faith to express these ancient
truths in its own language, and not merely adopt the language of another age
and culture. Every community of faith has two major obligations in regards to
its faith, namely absolute faithfulness to the Word of God, and sensitivity to
the world in which that community lives. This means that the Vineyard move-
ment must express the historical, biblical, orthodox Christian beliefs that we
hold in common with all Christians, and the particular doctrines that are our
distinctive voice, in terms that are relevant to 21st century Christians.
Our Statement of Faith is based on the conviction that the kingdom of God
is the central theological motif that gives definition to all that we believe. It
is a kingdom of God centered theology. This statement is our best current
understanding of the Bible from that kingdom perspective. Our prayer is that
God will bless our sincere attempt to be humble ambassadors of His rule and
reign, and to be a people that practice the presence of God and proclaim His
Gospel, so that His will may be done on Earth as it is in heaven.
For the greater glory of God and the well-being of people!

• Some Terms:
• Marketplace Ministry
• Recognizes that God’s people (the 97%) are called to minister in their businesses, careers and jobs. Yes, I said
minister. The religion sphere or mountain of influence is not the only sphere where God’s people can be
fruitful and productive for him.
• God has called you to build the kingdom of God and to expand Jesus’ influence in all the world. Mat. 28:19.
Disciple nations.
• You are called, appointed and anointed (by God) for the task!
• Marketplace Ministry recognizes that pastors and missionaries are not the only “special people” that God
uses.
• God has been using you in your work all along and you are not a second-class citizen!

• Some Terms:
• Seven Mountains
• In 1975 Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade, and Loren Cunningham, founder of Youth With A
Mission, had supper together at a conference and agreed to meet the following morning for breakfast.
That night, God simultaneously gave each of these change agents the same dream, which they shared
with each other over breakfast the following day. They saw seven mountains, which formed a larger,
single mountain. God said that if they claimed the seven mountains, he would give them the large
mountain, which is the kingdom of God.

• Some Terms:
• Seven Mountains - Continued
• Seven Mountains is a template or blueprint that identifies who is influencing various spheres of society and
develops strategies to influence these areas for God’s Kingdom.
• These mountains are as follows: Religion, Business, Family, Arts and Entertainment, Media, Education and
Government. There are many subcategories such as healthcare, the economy, etc. but the seven serve as a
starting point of a common platform for discussion.
• The strategy to impact Hollywood is different that the strategy to impact government. For example,
Hollywood is a “red carpet” – very open, photo-op kind of exposure whereas government is clandestine “we
will need to pass the law to find out what is in it” kind of dialogue and like the bat-cave.
• The media mountain has been very adept in criticizing this strategy by thinking that Christians are trying to
take over the world.

• Is. 2:2 In the last days the mountain of the LORD's temple will be established as the highest of the
mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will stream to it. NIV

10. GOD@WORK
• Some Terms
• Dominionism, as defined by some detractors in the media says that God’s people will take by force the
mountains of society and install God as king over everyone. We know from the bible that God will
ultimately permeate and pervade all of the earth but it will be done in his way and his timing – not
through force, just like when Jesus came the first time.
• This kind of dominionism tries to set up a theocracy (a government in which religious leaders rule) such
as that which exists in the country of Iran.
• The seven mountains blueprint is not dominionism. It is a strategy that recognizes that a small but
powerful group of people occupy the pinnacles of societal power and influence and that they are for
the most part contrary to God. For example, only about 100 people control the mountain of media in
the world.
• This blueprint encourages Christians to enter careers that can influence these spheres, become more
active in society in areas such as voting and provides strategies to impact these mountains.

11. GOD@WORK
• Why Pray?
• Prayer is working alongside God in the outworking of his plans for the world, others’ lives, and your own
life and family.
• Prayer is a privilege that God has given to us.
• But, prayer is also a responsibility.
• In the Garden of Eden, God gave man dominion over the earth (there’s that word again!) and authority
over his creation. God has given us dominion in this aspect!
• Prayer is an opportunity for God to continue (through you and me) his and man’s dominion over the
creation and the affairs of our lives. We as his children get to (not got to) partner with the Trinity in
seeing heaven’s will for each situation – no matter how small or how big…on earth as it is in heaven!
Copyright 2015 WISE Ministries International CoachMyBusiness.com
12. GOD@WORK
• Why Pray?
• Jesus came to earth to reconcile man to God through his own blood. It is God’s will that your family and
friends know him. You have spheres of influence. Use them!
• That’s right! You get to play a part in the ever-increasing kingdom of God on the earth as one that God
has granted authority in your spheres or mountain of influence. As darkness increases light will too!
Is. 60:1.
• The spheres are your family, spouse, children, friends.
• Mountain(s) as to your calling and influence. To which mountains are you called? Most likely business
since you are here tonight. Maybe others? Jot them down. There may be more than just one.
• BTW, you can identify the mountains to which you are called by your natural training and gifting but
also where your passion lies.
Copyright 2015 WISE Ministries International CoachMyBusiness.com
13. GOD@WORK
• What is intercession?
• Another form of prayer is intercession. Intercession carries with it the concept of a burden.
• We are given assignments by God in the form of praying through things that are important to us and our
heart.
• Ez. 22:30 says “I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the
gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.” NIV
• An intercessor is someone who stands in the gap for someone else or an issue that is on God’s heart.
• If the topic we are interceding for is not inherently important to us like family, job, etc. God may place a
burden so that his burden for the topic becomes our burden and we carry it until the burden lifts. This may
mean standing in the gap and praying praying for an extended time.
• During World War II Rees Howells was one of these.
Copyright 2015 WISE Ministries International CoachMyBusiness.com
14. GOD@WORK
• Rees Howells (10 October 1879 – 13 February 1950) was the founder of The Bible College of Wales.
• Howells was born in Brynamman in Carmarthenshire, Wales. When he was 12 years old he left school and
worked in a tin mill and coal mine. He later went to USA for better financial benefits where he met a Jew
named Maurice who was serving Jesus. Howells also read a book of Professor Henry Drummond. Both
influences caused him to become a Christian. Later he returned to Wales. He was affected by the 1904-1905
Welsh Revival.
• He and his wife were later missionaries in Africa. He was led down the path of intercession for many years,
before seeing Revival across Southern Africa from 1915-1920. The rise of Adolf Hitler and the outbreak
of World War II also marked a period of strong activity in Howells' ministry of intercession. They had only one
child, a son, named Samuel Rees Howells.
• In 1924 he founded the Bible College of Wales, now called Trinity School of Ministry. From Wikipedia

• Hearing the Voice of God
• We have discussed two methods that God uses to affect all of our lives.
• Prayer and intercession.
• During prayer and intercession, God may speak to us.
• That is, we may hear the voice of the Lord.
• In fact, quieting ourselves and earnestly praying opens up our spirit’s to hear God’s response.
• After all we should not just speak a wish-list to God.
• We wait on him for a response. A response from heaven.
• Is 40:31 But those who hope (wait) in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. NIV
• After all, prayer is meant to be a two-way channel of communication.
• Isn’t this exciting?
Copyright 2015 WISE Ministries International CoachMyBusiness.com
16. GOD@WORK
• Hearing the voice of God:
• If you do not have this time set apart, I encourage you to spend some time, even just 15 minutes to
start in the morning or in the evening, before bed. The time is immaterial as long as you do it
consistently.
Copyright 2015 WISE Ministries International CoachMyBusiness.com
17. GOD@WORK
• Hearing the voice of God:
• We can pray and we can intercede and we then wait on God to see what he has to say.
• Charles, can I really hear the voice of God? Little old me?
• YES!
• Jesus said My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27. NIV
• This verse not only means we can hear the voice of the master but that we also must obey (listen to) him if we
are truly his sheep.
• How could we be obedient to him if he never spoke and gave us direction?
• That is why God speaks through his word but also to us when we ask him. Why? Because the Bible reveals
the general will of God but we need God’s voice for our specific circumstances and situations.
• Therefore, he must speak to us regularly so that we can obey him and please him.
• Jesus said if you love me you will keep my commandments. John 14:15.
• Obedience is equal to love in the New Testament.
Copyright 2015 WISE Ministries International CoachMyBusiness.com
18. GOD@WORK
• Hearing the voice of God:
• John 10:28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.
NIV.
• So, listening to the voice of God and obeying him will protect us from the enemy of our souls and lead
us into heaven on that appointed day!
• Pray and intercede, wait on him in silence, listen for his voice and then obey (interact with) what you
hear. “Yes, Lord”. Tell him you got it. We are not robots, we are sons.
• Can you see how prayer and intercession opens us up to hear the voice of God in our devotion time and
in our work?
Copyright 2015 WISE Ministries International CoachMyBusiness.com
19. GOD@WORK
• Hearing the voice of God at work:
• What about hearing his direction in my work and in my business decisions?
• Charles, I thought work is cursed and not spiritual and there are so many unbelievers here?
• All you need is a quiet place and to center yourself. God is readily available to speak to you and to help you
during the day or whenever your shift is.
• It helps to have a room dedicated to music, meditation and prayer. A prayer room. Or, your office.
• God cares about your business and career.
• You as a leader can benefit from someone in your life who is a “destiny-link”.
• Someone who understands your spiritual DNA and someone to come alongside you and your enterprise.
Someone who helps you know that you are not alone. It is still not good for man to be alone.
• Is not that what the voice of the Lord is all about? Not just to relay information or revelation but that we are
not alone in this cold world?
Copyright 2015 WISE Ministries International CoachMyBusiness.com
20. GOD@WORK
• Hearing the voice of God
• What does God sound like?
• He sounds like you – like your thoughts.
• There is just a slight almost imperceptible difference, a “spark” that lets you know that “hey, I did not come up with this”.
• That the impulse came from outside of you and generated the thought.
• Have you ever heard a strong voice (thought) that said “turn here” or “don’t go to work today?” Ask some of those that
didn’t go into work on 9/11. There were a lot that did not go or had strange accidents or other issues delaying them.
• Hearing God’s voice can save your life.
• Heb. 5:14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use (exercise) have trained themselves to distinguish good from
evil. NIV
• Ladies, that gut feeling you get when something is not right? We call it discernment. The still-small voice of Holy Spirit.

21. GOD@WORK
• Question?
• What if you could experience communion with God and hear his voice on a daily basis?
• What would you do to have that kind of relationship with God?
• Implement the prayer strategies that I have given you tonight for 30 days and watch your closeness with
Father, Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ explode.

• Exercise
• God wants to speak to you tonight!
• Close your eyes
• I am going to ask God to speak to all of us individually
• Ask God a question in your thoughts and quiet yourself (even if you asked him 100 times before!)
• This is a safe place
• Let’s see what happens
• I Pray
