प्रार्थना योद्धा / THE PRAYER WARRIOR

T he scripture is full of triplets. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, is the most powerful and exemplary Triplet ( Matt.28:18-19; 2 Cor.13:14; Luke.3:22 ). THE TEMPLE OF THE DIVINE TRIPLET “God the Father in Yeshua, and Yeshua in us, that we may be made perfect, so that the world may know Him.” When this symbiosis occurs, we become awesome triplets of the Lord ( John 17:21-23; 1 Cor. 3:16) . THE INTERCESSORY TRIPLET Moses, Hur and Aaron proved a most powerful intercessory team on the mountain. As they prayed, Joshua defeated the Amalekites on the battlefield. This is an excellent model of prayer combined with action. Triplets can change situations ( Exod. 17:11-13; 1 Tim. 2:1-4, 8 ). TRIPLETS CAN WITHSTAND ANY PERSECUTION Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego together defied the most powerful monarch on earth. They refused to worship an idol and passed the fire test, resulting in the conversion of the monarch. He decreed that all kingdoms should honor the God of the Jews. A...

Most Christians think that the seven Feasts are Jewish and hence have nothing to do with them. The reality is that they are not Jewish, but the Lord said they are “My Feasts” ( Lev. 23:2 ). Hence, they apply to Jews, Christians and Gentiles alike as they radically change the history and destiny of all mankind. They are not just part of Mosaic Laws but built into the creation story. God created the sun, moon and stars for times and ‘seasons’ ( Gen. 1:14 ). The Hebrew word moed for seasons is the same word for Feasts. Moed is also the root word for month and moon. The Hebrew calendar is lunar based while we follow solar calendar. All the Feasts and events like the Jubilee are based on Lunar Calendar. Jews celebrate mere shadows while we Christians observe the real deal, as each Feast unfolds Yeshua and its implication for the world.  The four Spring Feasts that have been fulfilled by Yeshua: THE PASSOVER (Pesach) To the Jews Passover means liberation from the slavery of Egypt. To Chr...

THE MANDATE, THE MISSION AND THE METHOD Yeshua trained twelve disciples and sent them 2x2 ( Mark 6:7 ). They went and made seventy disciples. He then sent them 2x2 with an Ekklesia planting strategy ( Luke 10:1-9 ). They planted Ekklesias in the ‘houses of peace’. He then empowered 120 ‘persons of peace’ with Holy Spirit and they baptized 3000 people. They went and multiplied disciples that starting from Jerusalem, reached the ends of the earth. The Lord has given His Ekklesia the mandate to go and make disciples of all nations, tongues and tribes ( Matt. 28:18-20 ). Thus, the Ekklesia’s focus must be on finding and saving the lost until panta ta ethne is discipled. The Great Commission is the core of the core, the driving agenda, the primal mission and the mandate, and the raison d’être or the reason for the existence of the Ekklesia. This is important because it is the last command of Yeshua to go to the ends of the earth as His witnesses and make disciples of all nations. That apost...

THE NEW TESTAMENT EKKLESIA IS THE ORIGINAL MODEL In NT times, no one “went to church” because they were the Ekklesia. They met almost daily in the simplicity, flexibility, and intimacy of homes. A close network of Ekklesias in the region provided food, fellowship and apostolic teaching. The temple, the priests, the Sabbath, and the religious rituals of Jewish and Gentile faiths were gone. Even in the face of persecution, the Ekklesia grew and multiplied exponentially. Today, there is an urgent need for shackled Christians to break out of the confines of the traditional church boundaries to fulfill her apostolic agenda. VISITOR FROM THE JERUSALEM EKKLESIA Over the centuries, temples, the priests, and Sabbaths have crept back in. A first century Christian would have difficulty in recognizing the ornate buildings, the weekly church service, the sermon, the loud music, institutionalization and tithing to sustain the abovementioned unbiblical structures, as a church. Unfortunately, these ar...

God has pressed the reset button to change everything including the global spiritual profile of His church. Jesus had demonstrated a model for reaching the whole world with the whole gospel through the whole church. The Christians were the only people in the world who had no sacred buildings, professional priest, any set time or place, music, or rituals or even the Scriptures. They also did not have any political, social, or financial muscle power but they had the power of the Holy Spirit, hence multiplied exponentially. They met in the simplicity and intimacy of homes, broke bread from house to house, shared the whole wisdom of God and the Lord added to those being saved daily. God is now rebooting that original pattern by setting up ‘Households of God’ to fulfil his goal of preaching the gospel of the Kingdom to the ends of the earth and gathering all nations, tongues, and tribes from the four winds of the earth. To fulfill His agenda of reaching the ends of the earth, God is orchest...

Turn away from such as these!  Signs of the End of the Age Mat 24:3  : While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?” Mat 24:4  : Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you. Mat 24:5  : For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and wi...
