Renewed Focus -
Where are we going?
What land to we want?
What are we willing to do to claim the Land?
Today as I was thinking about this church.
I was sent a message that was so timely.
Over the last several weeks I have struggled with wanting to give up.
I have struggled with feeling not good enough.
I have struggled with feeling like I can’t accomplish what God sent me here to accomplish.
Was It my fault, was it other’s fault.
To be honest none of that matters.
What matters is that we have a RENEWED FOCUS and claim the land.
When we came here I truly felt like I was sent here to not only grow this church but to see a gym and new sanctuary built.
I have seen the both in the spirit.
I have had confirmation of them and what they look like by others.
It was then that I knew they would be built.
The question to me wasn’t if I could do it.
My question was would the church pull together and work as one to see it accomplished.
Here is what I have seen in a vision about this church.
The gym would be connected by a short tunnel.
It would be large enough for to regular sized courts going both directions.
It would have a stage on one end and a large kitchen attached to a fellowship hall.
We were pushing towards that when it seemed that things began to change and not for the better.
I saw the kitchen able to put out big meals.
I saw the fellowship hall that would overflow into the gym area to be able to feed 750 people at one time.
I saw classrooms and this gym would be to where a school would one day host basketball and volleyball games with a scoreboard.
The attached playground would be welcoming for all age children and a place where Moms and Dads could bring their children to play safely and without fear.
The building would have solar panels on the top.
It would be to ease the burden of utility costs.
Again, connected to the current main building.
Next was the new Sanctuary building.
It is to host 2-3K people.
It has a glass foyer to connect the new and old buildings.
The glass structure will be open and welcoming at all hours.
The sun would shine in the day and the stars at night.
There would be classrooms/Meeting rooms in the back of the building.
The second floor would be a missions minded reaching the world type of center.
Creating/Publishing and sending out video, literature and music to send around the world.
I have seen the brick, I have seen the offices.
Once this building is complete the current building will be for School/Daycare.
Again, this vision was very detailed.
The battle has been very intense.
A year and six months into being here there was a change in a key person.
I don’t know what caused the change but it happened.
There have been times I have seen these visions repeated.
Again the question is not will I, but will you?
Now, Let me take you to a message that I shared and a series of them will be coming to hopefully encourage you to be and Aaron or a Caleb.
“If your Church’s Dreams aren’t bigger than your Church’s Memories, then you are a dying Church.”
Alton Garrison “A Spirit Empowered Church”
I have been really questioning God about these dreams and visions.
I don’t want this church to die but to grow and thrive.
Moses was in somewhat the same spot as I feel I am some times.
Asking God When?
How? Who WIth?
The Heads of all of the tribes of Israel were there to make sure they represented their Family.
We will scope out the land.
We will claim our land with no problem.
Check out the Land, Bring us back the fruit.
Bring back all that you see.
I am here to tell you that ask I walked alongside the float in that parade last Saturday I saw a lot of people who needed Jesus.
People who needed a place to worship, a place to be welcomed, a place without drama and strife, but a place of encouragement, hope and strength.
Just one cluster of grapes they had to carry between two of them… They were gone 40 days… Have you ever noticed that God uses 40 days a lot.
Rained 40 days, Moses fasted 40 days, now they are spying out the land 40 days.
I would have thought that bringing back such a large cluster of Grapes would seal the deal.
People would be wanting to get in and Co-Labor with Moses to take the land.
No Spectators, No Helpers if you need me, Nobody holding back… I would have been chomping at the bit to get after those grapes.
Let me share with you this morning...
There is a lot of low hanging fruit in the Kingdom of God right here in Dayton that is waiting for us to harvest.
It is MY JOB to Equip the Saints.
It is MY JOB to Preach to, Teach to and Train the Saints.
It is Your Job to Co-Labor with Me to Reach the People.
Be Of Good Courage - Spy Out The Land - Bring Back Fruit
The Land, The Land, It is amazing!
It is everything.
It is flowing with Milk and Honey… BUT… The City is growing, there are people to reach, there are people to reach.... BUT...
Thank God for Calebs.... Men who see God’s vision and are willing to Co-Labor, who are willing to take ownership, who are willing to plough through to see God move.
The name Caleb means impetuous one.
One who is always ready to take the land.
Let me tell a story of a church in Little Rock.
They had a first time pastor.
He had been an evangelist for 18 years, but this was his first assignment as pastor.
He still traveled a little finishing up engagements he had already booked and the Vice Chairman of the Board was getting upset with him.
So, during one meeting he spoke to the pastor.
He said, I don’t like that you are making so much money off of your book and tape sales.
We want you to just pastor.
The Pastor asked him to unpack that a little more.
The Vice Chairman went on to say how he was agitated that the pastor was making so much money outside of the church, then he went on to say “We brought you in here to Preach and we will run the Church.”
When he was done the Vice Chairman asked that the other board members have their say.
The Pastor said “Me First”… He said first of all you have the running of the Church all wrong.
He Said “I’m the head of the church and you are called to Co-Labor with me.” “You aren’t called to run the church, that is my Job” said the pastor.
He went further to state, “You aren’t here to help me, but to Co-Labor with me.”
We are all called to be Co-Labors in this kingdom.
Some are called to be Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers.
In the mix there are laborers, grounds people, helpers, cooks, cleaners, givers.
Whatever it is, we are all called to be workers.
If you come here you need to be working in some way or another.
Check this out..
Listen to the difference between Co-Laborers and Helper.
Co-Laborers take ownership and responsibility.
Helpers are like a misfiring engine they work good some times.
