Significance of the accounts of the Book of Acts
the early church, the apostolic church was a Spirit-filled church

Marks of a “Mobilized” Church
the apostolic
a mobilized church produces preachers - ; ;
a mobilized church sends out missionaries -
its members are generous - extravagantly, giving large portions of their possessions for the work of ministry
its members are passionate in witnesseing in the workplace
it is constantly in prayer - they do everything with prayer!
a mobilized church is planting new churches in the mission field
The early church and the End-time Church
The same chuch
identified by the same doctrinewe preach
it is time to be identified in ACTION, in MOVEMENT
The End-time Church and Mobilization
The time-table in
the disciples were hiding
Jesus appears
the disciples were glad
the disciples are commissioned
the Holy Spirit is given
From “shut doors” to “ open doors”
John 20.19
without the Holy Spirit power - the disciples were hiding
with the Holy Spirit power - the disciples are going everywhere!
Open Doors
- Paul prays for an open door!
- Paul relates how a door was openedin for Macedonia through a vision ()
- a great and effective door has many adversaries!
- only Jesus can open and shut doors!
Responding to End-time Mobilization
The Enemies and their Weapons
the devil knows his time is short -
the enmy is RAGING!
the enemy’s weapons are becoming MORE SOPHISTICATED, MORE POWERFUL, MORE POTENT!
war is raging in the community, in religion, in the home, in the church!
The Army of God
only God’s PEOPLE can RESPOND to MOBILIZATION
God will use His WHOLE ARMY
in Exodus, God used one man with just “one staff”
in conquering Canaan - God used the whole army of Israel
