We have added a FaceBook page for this group. You are free to join the group. Fellowship Project: Blog Posting After you watch the video and read the study notes below, answer these questions here: Discuss: How does Jesus instruct us to communicate the gospel? 1. Just like King David's heart overflowed with a specific theme, according to Psalm 45:1, God has placed gifts inside you. What gift has God placed in you that needs to be communicated to others?
2. When God moves on your heart, what should happen with the revelation that He gives you? How has He called you to impact those around you?
3. Discuss the importance of testifying or communicating what Jesus has done in your life to others. What is the essence or the spirit of prophecy?
4. God placed you where you are for a reason. How are we called to manifest the kingdom of God? Discuss how intercession impacts your communication.
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
Who, though He was in the form of God, did not count equality with
God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in
human form, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted Him and bestowed upon Him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
—Philippians 2:5-11 ESV
DISCUSSION:
This week we will discuss what the Lord showed me concerning the communication of the gospel. If God shows you a revelation, but you can't communicate it, then what good is it? It just is a benefit to you. Warrior Notes Ministry is all about helping others, which is what Jesus did. He came down here and walked this earth without exalting Himself. Philippians 2:7 says that Jesus became a servant and "did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped." In other words, He came as a servant and promoted His Father. By allowing the Holy Spirit to use Him, Jesus announced the gospel message, then He suffered and died for us. He was a Servant Who did it for us, so He didn't speak in a way people could not comprehend. There were times when people did not understand because their hearts were dull; however, if you look at His message, you will see that He used parables and communicated very clearly.
LET YOUR GIFT OUT
My heart is overflowing with a good theme; I recite my composition concerning the King; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
—Psalm 45:1
King David had an outflow of the Spirit of God. His creativity came from within and overflowed with a theme from which he recited his written composition. He was an author, a psalmist, a priest, a king, and a prophet. David was highly talented in writing and singing. All of us need to be able to communicate what God has deposited inside of us. Jesus was able to do this. He helped people grasp who the Father was and Who He was. His message was good news. I want to encourage all of you that God has placed gifts inside you. Like David's heart was overflowing with a specific theme, so will yours.
What you see at Warrior Notes came forth because God placed it inside me. Think about all that you see that is happening at Warrior Notes. At one time, that was all inside of my heart. Look at all that has come forth. Now I can encourage you. What is it that God has placed inside of you? It's a gift for the body, which every person needs it.
As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
—1 Peter 4:10
Remember that everything that happens to you is for the benefit of others too. It is just not for yourself. All the revelation you receive when you are in prayer, seeking God, and having dreams and visions, is not just for you. Yes, Holy Spirit is trying to help you as well; however, in the long run, the body of Christ needs to be built up.
In the community of believers all over the world, we need to be able to strengthen each other. God uses the gifting that is in each individual to accomplish this.
After you have determined your theme, you must be able to recite or compose everything that's inside. You need to get it out by speaking it forth. Think about this. God could give you a thought or a vision. He could say or reveal something which is strictly for you until you either recite it or write it down. You can sense these gifts inside you, just like I did all my life. Now we see Warrior Fellowships, Warrior Notes School of Ministry, and our other ministries influencing the world. The influence that we now see used to be inside of me. If I had not spoken out what God gave me, written it, or acted on what I saw or heard, it would still be inside of me. No one would even know. But because it manifested, now everybody knows.
MANIFEST THE GOSPEL
God, Who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, Whom He has appointed heir of all things, through Whom also He made the worlds; Who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His Person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
—Hebrews 1:1-3
Jesus, the Son of God, came and manifested the expressed image of the Father on earth. He is Emmanuel, God with us. Jesus came in the flesh, walked the earth, and ministered to people. Then He commissioned us to do the same thing, stating that we would actually do greater works than He did (John 14:12).
And then He told them, "Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in My name, and they will speak in new languages. They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won't hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed."
—Mark 16:15-18 NLT
At first, it may not seem possible to do what Jesus did, but it is true. We started to find out that the demons were listening to us and left when we would use the name of Jesus. When we laid hands on sick people, they were recovering. We were preaching the good news, and people saw their finances and relationships healed. We witness all of these different signs and wonders happen. These are examples of the communication of the gospel.
o How does Jesus instruct us to communicate the gospel?
UNITY IN THE SPIRIT
The reason why God moves in your heart is so that He can manifest through you to impact the lives of others. There is a transference, an impartation that has to manifest to impact lives in your environment. God has inspired me to help people in specific ways. Sometimes, He has spoken to me for days, but it feels like a suggestion at first. After a while, I start to think, okay, Lord, what about this? What do you want me to do? Then when I start talking to my wife, Kathi, I often find out that it was also on her heart. We are on the same page with the Lord, and He confirms it through each other. She often says, "Yeah, the Lord's talking to me about that too."
