How do we increase the capacity (presence, grace, revelation) of Christ to advance the movement of the Kingdom of Christ?

For some time now, I’ve been inquiring of the LORD how we might enhance our Wednesday evening services and make them more interactive. I’m aware that not everyone’s schedule fits into a mid-week nightly service, and so it’s a challenge to accommodate both those who are here in person and those who are just as faithful but can’t attend.In my deliberations with the LORD and what He is teaching me through our study of the biblical temples in reference to our bodies being the temple of Holy Spirit, I have come to some conclusions. Probably the nucleus of what Yahweh is teaching me is:“Effective preaching/teaching should always reveal prophetic visions of the spiritual realm that address both our earthly circumstances, while also revealing the kingdom of Christ at large. Ultimately, our response to 5-fold grace-induced kingdom preaching and teaching should produce authoritative declarations of faith that join heaven and earth together as ONE.”Of course, every gathering of the ecclesia includes multiple expressions with the intention of bringing Yahweh’s heaven into man’s earth on every level to which we are assigned and aware. Examples of these expressions are teaching, preaching, worshipping (several ways), prayer and intercession, fellowship, etc. However, if what we do both personally and corporately doesn’t culminate in speaking on the earth what we’ve heard and seen from Yahweh, we have not given opportunity for complete kingdom expression.  So, to get to the point, tonight we will embark on a slightly different approach to the Wednesday evening service that will include those who can come and those who want to be a part but can’t attend in person. Now, please be patient with the process of bringing this new direction into a smooth expression. Nothing usually starts out perfectly dynamic without some tweaks and alterations…especially when it includes a group of people.The service will be live-streamed, and there will also be a chat and text component to the broadcast for those of you watching and participating from afar to chime in. We will begin with a teaching that sets the focus on the time together. Next, we will identify as a group what really impacted your spirit from the preaching/teaching and put those out there for everyone to consider and hopefully construct a vision of the Word through different lenses. At that point we will begin a prophetic worship and prayer time to allow Holy Spirit to take us deeper into the message. Finally, we will gather again corporately and prophesy, declare and decree into the earth what the Father has spoken to us from His heart and mind.And yes, we will endeavor to accomplish this from 6:40 p.m. to roughly 8:15 p.m. What we will not do is rush this process and try to just check the boxes, but seek a beautiful, melodic flow that brings refreshing to each individual and releases the power of the Spirit regionally.During the interactive times, you can reach out through the chat option on the website and app or reach out to Pastor Donald Johnston via text (479) 502-6547.
