How To Preach Easy

1. Dont say "you" say "we" this tells the audience that you are not above them or hinting that you are holier than them. draw them into the subject and together go on the journey.
2. Dont shout, Shouting is not the sign of the anointing
3. Keep the message clear. Clear of too much to say, too much to talk about, too much waffling about what's not important.
4. Keep to the subject!
5. Keep to a pattern, three points is good for teaching.
6. Put the Word first. Start off with scripture this shows that you are going to talk, preach about the Word.
7. Come close to the congregation, get off the pulpit. You're one of us. preaching from a pulpit is saying to your frined I love you but dont come near me.
8. Get invoved in the praise and worship. some pastors. I've seen they sit through the worship to conserve their energy when they preeach. ScottFree worship is non existent. If you love God sweat the praise!
9. Ask yourself would you buy a ticket to hear you preach? If you say "no"  Quit! ..until God fires you up and gives the message.
10. Preach as if its the end of the world.... It may be for somebody that listens to you!


...Oh by the way may I add a correction.... Preaching is NOT easy...

The Law of the Spirit of Life

For The law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of Sin and death. (Romans 8:1). May I ask, Has the life of God  so taken over you that you are free from the law of sin and death?

55 Reasons Why You Should Preach the Apostles Doctrine

55 Reasons Why You Should Preach the Apostles Doctrine by Paul B Thomas
Something has to shift! if we want to see it like the apostles had it then we have to know it like they believed it. Many preachers run from doctrine, why it has power. Power to shift and separate, cause a riot and awake the dead, cause havoc in a city and make mad the religious. Dare you study this!....

God Calls You Blessed!

Blessed are the pure in heart they will see God (Matt 5:8). Pure, "KATHAROS" the word has different meanings, as clothes which have been "washed," Wheat that has been "sifted" and an army "purged" of cowardice. Washed, sifted and purged. God calls those who have been washed, sifted and purged, "blessed," 

God creates a pure heart through his dealings with us, as we submit to his cleansing, washing, baptism in his name, we see God. As we become teachable God begind the purging the washing and the cleansing, how do you are being washed cleased and purged? You will see God in scriptures. You will see God as he walks with you, you will see God as he talks to you you will see God in the volume of the book, you will see God as one, you will know Jesus as God.

You'll see God working in your family, working in your ministry, working in your finances. BLESSED are the pure in heart.  How is he blessed what defines "blessed?" PURITY! blessed are the pure in heart they, shall see God.

This is how God describes "blessed"... he sees God!

I may not be blessed by your standards, I may not have what you have, I may not drive what you drive but I've got something for my struggle, I own something for my pain and its this..... I see God!

I see him when I wake up in the morning and look at the sunrise, I see him at night when I thank him for my day and I lay my head to rest, I see him in my work and my projects I see him in my friends and say thank you Lord im Blessed!

I see him in my struggle I see him in my trial, I see him in my mess and know he makes it all work out hence I can truly say, God I saw a lot of junk but I know this I got to see you. I'm Blessed!

Ask him friend. "Show me who you are Lord" ... To know him is life eternal... I am blessed!

God and the Son that he Gave.

God and word are the same, As a word he is given. As God he became flesh.

Unto "us" a Son is given (Is 9:6) The Son that was given was given to man. The Son was not given to God. God did not create a Son. There were not two men (persons) in heaven father and Son. One would have to be a human being to be a Son. which is precisely why "God" was given to man.


God and his Word are one (John 1:1) We unlike God are not given as a Word, we as sons are given a word. Just as your word and you cannot be separated so too God and his word cannot be separated. Jesus is not God's word, Jesus is God in the flesh or the Word in the flesh. (John 1:1) which means there is no trinity! All of God dwells in him and he is God, inside and out, (Col 1:9) and without controversy.. GOD was manifest in the flesh (God) was justified in the spirit (God) was seen of angels (God) preached unto the gentiles (God) believed on in the world (God) recieved on in glory. (2 Tim 3:16). Jesus is the father in creation, the Son in redemption and the Holy Ghost in our salvation. In the Spirit he was God, in the flesh he was man...Jesus alone is God!...(Is 45:21).

Passion is not enough

"Be realistic about the business you plan to pursue. Far too many aspiring entrepreneurs operate solely on passion. Passion is great. However, it is critical that what you are passionate about is also something that you have been gifted with or skilled at." ( Jacqueline Miller Black enterprise).

Discovering God's will for your life is simple. Recognise both your gift and passion and do it. Your skills may need updating and advancing as you move on and that is a natural course of any project in development and a neccessasy course in ones own personal development. Be honest and acknowledge the skills you have and the skills you do not have.

When passion and skills match you have purpose and your gift will make a room for itself. a room means time, yes time to do it and will to make something happen.

How To keep Your FAITH MOVING

As it is written:  "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him. (11 Corinthians 2:9). 

God keeps us in expectancy......always climbing, hoping, stretching, reaching. Which means, this is not it! It doesn matter where you are on the sucess ladder. If you see yoursef as an achiever or an under achiver, God's word is simply, if you eye hasnt seen it and your ear hasn't heard it then there's more coming your way, all you have to do is step into it.

What is "it?"

I dont know and neither do you, that's why everything is on the table, which means, take a hold of your dream and do it no matter how big it is, because God's dream for you, what his eye has seen, is always bigger than that which you can step into, therefore you cannot go wrong when you move forward, nomatter what it is you step into.

Quit doubting, questioning and postponing the Big thing God has for you. Step out and do it then God will show you how small it is and take you to the next level... He's right, eye has not seen.. and no matter where you are, you will aways say this is too small here, God keeps whats not seen, unseen so that when you see nothing you step out anyway. God keeps whats not seen, and adventure that way, you will always take a risk and not a short cut and do it anyway. Why Does God keep what he sees a secret, well if we see it, we would always think, "thats it!" No a thousand times No, this is not it and neither is that so, go for it anyway... Youre on an unstoppable adventure of faith!

ps.. let me know below whats your nest step of faith...

Are We in a Church Shift?

Johnathan Suber (see Suberministries). An apostolic preacher is starting a church in Texas.  I like his passion. I took a look at his page on facebook where he posted a video where he shared a thought that grabbed my attention. He said, that the church had the purpose of, "being a 21st Century Expression of a 1st Century Experience." I like that, well let me say, that lights the flame in me. Maybe thats what we have to do, light the flame in a generation that is bored with cultural Christianity, the religion God did not invent. 

Here are some thought I have on church Shift.

1. Church Shift where the Prophet is as active as the Pastor
The church has become man focused where pastors have dominated the pulpit, the result fewer evangelists able to make it fulltime, fewer still the prophets. The church suffers where there are no Holy Ghost revival preachers and the pastors that have no passsion gift or unction for revolution. In past centures it was the prophets that lit the fires of reformation from Luther to Knox. Today's culture will re-write prophets and most certainly the church will not survive without them. Excuse me for saying this you can fake the call of a pastor, but you cannot fake the gift of a prophet. I believe that God will set prophets as pastors and they will grow big churches in our day and time.

2. Church Shift where Missions become our reason for Existence
Thologian John Piper suggests that there is an higher honour attached to being a missionary than other callings (see Christian Post). The Missionary call has been laid aside, the other offices are seemingly more attractive (and safer) as a career choice, we are to an extent back in early church days again. If the church no longer adopts the apostles doctrine then we are back in early church days, where we have to bring folks back th the faith once delvered, not to Cultural Christainity as we know it. Again this will take preachers with a revelation of the one true God to hunder the rise of ecumenicalism and multifaithism. We, the church need more Peter's and Paul's to stir and shake some things in every town and city.

The world needs missionaries! not missionaries who will build homes only but preaching apostolic missionaires, leaders unashmed of the faith once deliverted, men who will put their life on the line. Many countries are closed to the gospel, (Statistics show that around 76 percent of nations are opposed to the gospel). To Quote Open Doors, "According to The Pew Research Center, over 75% of the world's population lives in areas with severe religious restrictions (and many of these people are Christians). Also, according to the United States Department of State, Christians in more than 60 countries face persecution from their governments or surrounding neighbors simply because of their belief in Jesus Christ." (Open Doors)
 
Russia and Korea recently passing laws to keep the gospel hidden but what these countries do not know is that no man can shut up God's voice. God will speak to mans conscience where there is no man to speak to man. God will open a door because he is the door. God will make a way in any city because the city is his. No man owns a nation no leader can stop our God and its with this mentality that men as missionaries will invade territory with the gospel. Anything less will be an abdication of our responsibility to God and man. We are called to Go!

Practically I believe every church should support a missions organisation or be one. Every church should have a missions representative that connects to those persecuted overseas and offers encouragement and support. This is a must the church can no longer hide in its own corner. We are global and so should be our concern and support.

3. Church Shift from Nice to Revolutionary.
Jesus did not come to make us "nice" Christians. He was a revolutionary and any man with his DNA will be like him. Its time to exit "nice" Christianity and the feministic version where we sing all love songs and start to live like the lion rather than the lamb. The lion goes to war and has a roar. The lion established its territory and defends his kingdom. Jesus was a lamb so that we could be like the lion. Nice church is not his church. Let the lion roar. Let the kingdom people state their case, defend their faith, stand up for righteousness and preach Jesus. God will raise up revolutionary. Years ago preachers would say, "God no longer has individual revolutionaries," I disagree when the church fails to be come revoltionary, God will rise up his Elijahs. God has never been without his hero or his cross bearer. If the church does not stand up and be one you stand up and be one.

4.  Church shift from celebrity Pastor to everyone a Pastor
Everyone reaching everyone. Today everyone can have a tv ministry online. Years ago you had to be a mega ministry to be gloal now you can be global, if you have an internet connection. Today's preacher is sister and Brother unknown who now has more followers in their You Tube account than most preachers have in their building on a sunday morning. Friend if you have the call to Pastor the internet is your pulpit, the world and cyberspace your home town.

5. Church Shift From Dogma to Faith in Truth.
Folks have become wary of the fake and the phony, people want truth. Folks online are questioning the dogmas and lies that folks have been taught over the years, denominational dogmas that have bourne mans intepretation of scripture that has left the church weak, paralysed and out of touch with God and his world. People are discovering freedom from man made traditions that hold believes in bondage. The age of the superpreacher is over now an unknown Guy with a YouTube Video going viral can get more views in one weak than a mega preacher can have all month on the TV network,

Denominationalism is decaying, in my own experience denominationalism isolates folks. It breeds suspicion of anyone not in their fold. Denominationalism is decaying but dicipleship is increasing. People are fed up with the walls of religion. 

We are living in an age where the church meners can know more than a Pastor with a degree. and so pastors are finding their beliefs challened. Pastors who do not examine their own heart as to why they believe what they believe will find themselves at odds with those in the pew. This is one reason why many leave their church and start their own. Pastor your education is not enough, you have to be ahead of the crowd or find yourself smothered by it.

Another trend, folks are rediscovering the true God in Christ. Trinitarian dogma has had its day, folks will once again hunger after righteousness and will forsake the dogmas of trintarianism and indeed religion for knowledge and the life of the one true God in Christ. They will know, Jesus as deity, God alone. How can I say this, because its God's purpose and will and truth always finds it home in a generation. I pray it will find its home in this generation. dont you!

Back to brother Subers quote. "being a 21st Century Expression of a 1st Century Experience." maybe this should be every churches goal.
