Revival By Design: Cycle of Church Growth

Key Points:

The four steps in the Cycle of Church Growth are Evangelize, Establish, Equip and Empower.

If the church is not multiplying it is probably stuck in one of these steps

Revival By design is a 12-16 month plan for multiplication

Genesis 1:28 KJV 1900

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Overseas use (Belarus - 1/3 of population is Apostolic)

Principle: Church growth is selfish.

Paradigms shift to evangelizing our cities.

You need programs for church growth.

You need a burden, calling, passion and a plan to evangelize your city!

This blueprint is called Revival By Design but I think it’s named wrong...

This is not about revival, it’s about being apostolic.

When your are Book of Acts, babies are the natural byproduct!

Joshua 1:1–9 (KJV 1900)

Now after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord it came to pass, that the Lord spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying,

Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.

From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.

There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

This is the dominion promised in Genesis to Adam.

This is the Abrahamic Promise.

Question: Why do we accept only part of the Abrahamic Promise?

We have to he a Joshua spirit on us and TAKE OUR CITIES!

How do we do that?

Step One: Evangelize

Map your city (Divide and conquer - more to come on this later)

Prayer Walks - more on what this is later.

Send 2 by 2 - right hand vs. left hand (60 day)

HOLY GHOST RALLY

Step Two: Establish

House church

Think of Moses’ captains and judges of 10, 50, 100 and 1000

You are training your people to be captains of 10

Discipleship

30 lessons provided

Goal: personal development of New Convert and leaders

This is where most churches stop.

Now they dress right, talk right, and can sing in the choir, be a greeter...

BUT most sit on the pew and do more than financially support the church…

Never reaching their potential.

Step Three: Equip

39 lessons provided

Teach new converts how to be apostolic!

These are powerful lessons!

Step four: Empower

Release your newly trained to begin step one again

Impartation Service

Release to ministry
