The idea for this post I must admit is not mine, but my good friend’s Zach. You see, both of us (and thousands of others) went to an annual mission’s conference this past weekend known as World Mandate. We went in expecting to be overwhelmed by amazing worship and excellent words of wisdom but I don’t think either of us was prepared to accept the magnitude of the words spoken at the conference. Below is simply a list of impactful sentences given by empowered people. For those of you who did not get to experience World Mandate, or those who simply could not write fast enough, this is for you…After an amazing time of worship on the opening night, one in which I found that my voice was already beginning to become raspy and weak (due to praying alone!) a man by the name of Jimmy Seibert took the stage. For those of you who don’t know Jimmy Seibert is the senior pastor and the vehicle God uses to shake the nations through Antioch Ministries. This is compilation of what he said in (black) and what I said (orange).
“The earth is shaking, and God is shouting.”
“Your ultimate accountability partner should be Jesus. Any other and you will fail.”
“God is not intimidated by our pain”
“The pain of hurting hearts is only second in magnitude to the God who heals hearts.”
“Often the voices of fear can destroy the destiny of masses.”
“The day Constantine made Christianity common is the day we became passive.”
“When God shakes the nations it’s time for transformation”
“Don’t watch just move.”
“Pray, Give, and Go that is the Church role.”
“The Spirit of Fear really is a Spirit, and if you don’t conquer it it will chase you for the rest of your life”
“A witness is more than a voice… it’s a life.”
The following morning we had the privilege to hear Max Lucado give a brief testimony…
"Never stoop to be a king if God has called you to be a missionary"
After another AMAZING worship session, we had the opportunity to hear Floyd McClung, and international missionary and servant of Christ, speak about running to the battle …
“A lot of us run to the battle because we are running from the battle of our hearts.”
“We should finish more on fire than when we started.”
“When the Kingdom of God invade our life the Kingdom of Self must die.”
“You can plant a church without making disciples but if you make disciples than you will church plant.”
That following night an older gentleman with long blonde hair walked on stage, and when he spoke it was like Jesus dropped an Atom bomb…
“If we do things Jesus’ way, we get Jesus’ results.”
“There’s no success without opposition.”
“The problem isn’t that the harvest isn’t ready but that the harvesters aren’t.”
“The danger today is that the Church isn’t relevant.”
“The biggest gap in religion is that Christians don’t like to hang out with non- Christians.”
“Around the World “formal religion” is rejected but Spirituality is at an all time hall.”
“If your Church closed down would your city miss you.”
Ouch
Why is it other religions do more Godly things than we do?
“What use is it to live for nothing when I can die for something?”
Last but certainly not least, a fiery Aussie whom I mentioned in my last writing took the stage and leveled the audience with what’s to follow. This is Christine Caine (at least how much my hand could scribble down!)…
“Our culture always says don’t hope for anything great.”
“There is nothing more dangerous than a generation who want people to play it safe.”
“Jesus didn’t save us to play it safe but to make us dangerous to the Kingdom of Darkness.”
“We’re not a product of time but of eternity.”
“God did not put us in the world to run away from the World but to transform the world!”
“Our goal is NOT to arrive at death safely.”
“We’ve confused empathy and sympathy with compassion.”
“We always say But God… We need a BUTectomy.”
“The priest in the Good Samaritan wasn’t a bad person but a busy person.”
“I love how we write Christian books to encourage Christians to not be Christians.”
Ouch!
“Sometimes who needs the Devil when you have a Christian?”
“It’s not about the size of the darkness but the Magnitude of the light living inside of you.”
“In Jesus, you can start bad and finish Amazingly good.”
May these words pierce your soul like they have mine
Merely,
Chris Gerac
