I ministered to you last time on how it is harvest time and that we must be about our Father’s business of reaching the unreached and telling the untold. Oh, how important this is!!! Yet, how are we going to do this? What is the key ingredient to ministering Jesus to the world?
Once we have made Jesus the Lord of our lives we must cultivate our relationship with Him until we become one with Jesus, our Father God, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus (the Word) said, “I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit.” John 15:5. The Father then gave us the Holy Spirit (His Peace) to be in us and with us and to teach us all things (John 14:16-18, 26-27). Jesus prayed that we would have a revelation of being one with them in John 17:20-26, and I believe this to be the greatest testimony we can live out for the world to know Jesus!
Christ in me, Christ in you, the hope of Glory! When we truly walk in unity with God we will see lives changed, bodies healed, and the devil stopped. Let it be said of us: “The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.” Matthew 11:5 Because, “he that believes on Jesus, the works that He did shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do.” John 14:12 ”And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. “ (Matthew 10:7-8)
We cannot give people something we don’t have; so in order to give people the best representation of our GOD, we need to KNOW him beyond the facts. It is paramount that we have an intimate relationship with Him so people can see Him in all that we are and in all we do. Once we have truly walked in all these things for ourselves, then we can freely give all that He is to others. Being one with Him is the only way that others will see the real Jesus through you and me in every way.
Jesus is coming! Are you ready? It is up to us to be ready and to be His magnificent bride without spot or blemish, manifesting His works on the earth. If we are truly about our Father’s business then we will hear these words very soon, “Well done thy good and faithful servant.” (Matthew 25:21)
“I Am the Vine you are the branches. Those who remain in Me, and I in them, will produce much fruit.” John 15:15

These three words have revolutionized my life. The first time I heard them I was 23 years old, just coming back to God, and full of wonder and expectation on how God would use me for His kingdom purpose. I praise God for a man by the name of Jim Burgdorf who poured everything he knew about worship and honoring God into me. I was hungry and passionate about growing closer to God and my heavenly Father saw to it that I was on a path to learn how.
Audience of One is a term many have heard these days, but 25 years ago this was not so. Most of worship was still performance based. When God spoke to my heart about singing His music when I was 13, worship choruses were still not widely used in church services. I had no clue of what He meant when He spoke those words but look now! Worship (unfortunately) is considered a genre in the music world. I could preach a message on how wrong this is but that is for another time.
Little did I know when I was a teenager that corporate worship would transform in such a short time. Corporate worship… this is a challenging realm to navigate as a worship leader and as a congregant. However, I believe the Father absolutely LOVES this place of His children entering into worship. There is nothing like a room full of people seeking the Father’s face together and in unity.
Acts 2 says the disciples were gathered in the upper room in one place and in unity and then SUDDENLY! Something happens when the children of God pursue the presence of God for no other agenda than to encounter Him. This is where Audience of One comes into play.
You see, too many people are looking for a worship team to lead them into the presence of God. Perhaps they are waiting on a pastor to step into the altar before they step forward or their friend next to them to lift their hands first. I believe this is because we have not truly taught what it means to worship the Father. It’s not about the song choices, the style, or the order of tempos. Worship, in its purest definition, is simply to be in awe of God the Father, to pursue the face of Jesus our Savior and King, and to make room for the abiding presence of Holy Spirit. Worship is an intimate conversation between us and our Creator–the Lover of our souls.
Next time you step into a room to gather together with your church family, remember the whole service is a worship service. Your audience is not the person next to you, it is not your pastors, or the worship leader standing in front of you; your only audience is JESUS. If your thoughts gravitate to pleasing anyone but Him, then you know you have lost your compass in worship.
All alone in a crowded room. This is worship. Encountering the One who lives to encounter you! And to those of you who are leaders in worship, this should be your ONE THING when preparing for any given service. Seek to minister to the Lover of your soul and allow Him to do the rest.

I was reminded today of something that God spoke to us through Bro. Jesse Duplantis. Our AMAZING Heavenly Father is just waiting for us to ask Him to work through us the impossible. In Matthew 19:26 Jesus looked at the people and said, “With man this is impossible, but WITH GOD ALL things are POSSIBLE.”
What impossible assignment would you give God to do for you today? For us, we have asked Him for our first Super Champions Training Center. We know that it is His will and plan for us to stretch our faith and see this accomplished. Guess what? We CANNOT do this on our own. BUT guess what? WE DON’T HAVE TO. In fact, God doesn’t want us to.
God will always ask us to do the things we cannot do in and of our own strength. That is why Jesus taught us the law of seedtime and harvest. This is why He taught us how to ASK the Father in His name. That is why He taught us who we are IN CHRIST JESUS!
Whatever impossible task you have before you, know that God DESIRES to partner with you in it. Get Him involved by bringing your prayer of petition to Him, sowing towards that dream, and then standing in faith until you SEE IT MANIFEST!
Thank YOU for sowing into the vision of Super Champions! We stand in faith WITH YOU that the impossible dream that is on the inside of you will come to pass through the power of Jesus Christ living within you!!!!!
