THE PROMISED LAND...
MISSION :
Our mission is to bring the reality of Heaven to Earth
(Matt 6:10)
VISION:
Our vision for The Promised Land is to be a World attracting, Christ experiencing and Body equipping ministry.
ATTRACT - the world to Christ:
(Rom 8:19)
EXPERIENCE - the fullness of Christ:
(Eph 3:19)
EQUIP - the body of Christ:
(Eph 4:12)
FUNCTION:
The Promised Land will minister and function through three main streams;
Healing, Rejuvenation, and Training.
Each stream will flow in unison to fulfill the overall vision.
HEALING – Attracting the world to Christ…
Matt 15:30, 31 Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus’ feet, and He healed them. So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
It seems as though somewhere over the past two-thousand years “Christianity” has lost its attraction to the rest of the world. Multitudes from distant cities used to flock to see Jesus demonstrate the Kingdom of Heaven in power and authority. The same was true of the apostles in the early church as the world was drawn to the reality of “Christ” in their lives.
This appeal was not sparked merely by their teaching (though powerful and perhaps controversial), but rather by their distinct demonstration of signs, wonders, miracles and healings that seemed to be a “normal” part of ministry.
Acts 5:12, 14-16 And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people… 14 And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, 15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them. 16 Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem , bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.
“The world will reject religion and religion will reject Christ
But when the world sees Christ in action, get ready for persecution or attraction!”
The world needs an opportunity to see Christ demonstrated. The Promised Land will provide an open door for people to access the healing and transforming power of God outside of the usual church environment. We believe the reality of Heaven must be presented as an attractive option, either as the means to healing or as an integral part of the healing process. With dozens of alternatives to modern medicine now available, it’s time for light of Christ to be seen and experienced.
REJUVENATION – Experiencing the fullness of Christ…
Eph 3:19 To know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Acquiring knowledge has become an acceptable substitute for personal experience among many believers today. The Promised Land desires that everyone would not only establish a relationship with Jesus Christ, but also experience His power and anointing, His presence and glory, as well as His life and nature.
Spiritual rejuvenation in essence is all about being positioned to commune with Christ and experience realms of Heaven through intimacy and encounters with the Lord.
Rev 4:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
The purpose of spiritual rejuvenation is to:
• Strengthen you in the Lord as you wait upon Him (Isaiah 40:31)
• Cause you to become more like Christ as you behold His glory (2 Cor 3:18)
• Receive revelations as you search out the deep things of God (1 Cor 2:10)
• Discover and experience more of God (James 4:8 & Jer 33:3)
• Provide an opportunity for God to examine you (Ps 26:2 & Ps 139:23)
• Feed and fuel your spirit for a greater passion in God (Matt 5:6 & Eph 5:18 & Ps 34:8)
• Bring clarity to your vision and purpose (Acts 10:19)
• Become a sponge for Gods presence so you manifest Christ everywhere you go (Acts 5:15)
• Exercise your spiritual senses to become familiar with the spiritual realm (Heb 5:14)
• Experience visions, dreams, angelic visitations, trances, heavenly encounters and other normal
Kingdom realities that will impact your life and ministry…
• Much more!!
“The more of Gods manifest presence we experience, the more of Gods presence we will manifest”
The Promised Land will set an atmosphere for God to minister, then position people to receive and experience the fullness of Christ.
TRAINING – Equipping the body of Christ…
Most of the church is adequately equipped to maintain and sustain their walk with God, but few have accessed the tools of spiritual authority it’s going to take to cause a spiritual revolution and advancement of the Kingdom of Heaven . The body of Christ needs an awakening of the supernatural to fulfill its destiny to destroy the works of the Devil as we plunder Hell and populate Heaven. In these last days individuals must be activated to impact and influence the world around them through normal kingdom activities…
Matt 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils…
The Promised Land will provide courses designed to get believers full of the Holy Spirit, operating in the gifts of the spirit, learning to carry an open Heaven and ministering prophetically on the streets.
