We challenge the habit of chasing spiritual moments and call our community to become a movement fueled by humility, obedience, and bold faith. From Acts 2 to the Great Commission, we map the shift from disciple to apostle and press the urgent charge to go, demonstrate, and expect God to provide.

• kingdom greatness through humility and God’s promotion
• Acts 2 as a model for sustained movement
• transition from discipleship to being sent
• stop chasing moments, become the miracle
• boldness at Pentecost as the bridge to growth
• big faith over small expectations after encounter
• breaking analysis paralysis with decisive obedience
• turning vision into action in local contexts
• resources following those who go


We love to hear from our listeners! Thank you!

SPEAKER_04:

Hallelujah. Let's clap our hands to the Lord one more time and thank you. What a powerful word from the Holy Ghost. What a powerful word of direction. That is God's plan. Hallelujah. That is God's blueprint. For greatness in the kingdom. Hallelujah. The path to greatness in the kingdom. It's not an ascent to the highest place. It is knowing that the lower you are is the higher he lifts you. Amen. God is the one that promotes. Promotion doesn't come from the east or from the west. Promotion comes from God. Promotion doesn't come from sitting next to Brother Robinette. Promotion does not come from being friends with the most popular person. Promotion comes from humbling your heart. And what God sees in secret. Hallelujah. Clap your hands to the Lord one more time. I'm reading today from Acts chapter 2. And I didn't give you these scriptures, but I'm going to start a little earlier in the chapter, verse 42. And many of us have read this scripture plenty of times. Acts chapter 2, verse 42 says 2, capitolo 4, and they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking in bread and in prayers. And fear came upon every soul. And many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. And all that believed were together and had all things common. And sold their possessions and goods and parted them to all men as every man had need. Because when we experience mighty moves of God, it is very normal for an American mind to idolize a memory. So we experience a moment. And we for lack of a better term, worship the moment. Until we see another moment. And then we involuntarily chase moments. But God never meant for the apostolic church to chase moments. God wanted the church to become moments. That anywhere you are at any time. So I want to talk to you about going from moment to movement. God's will for you on a crusade. So you can create a movement. It's for you to become what you have experienced. The Bible tells us in the book of Mark, chapter 16. That uh Jesus began to upbraid his disciples. He rebuked them. It says, afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. Up to that point, the disciples were used to experiencing moments. They had a moment at the marriage of Cana of Galilee. They had a moment when he turned water into wine. They had a moment when he multiplied the bread. They had a moment when he calmed the storm. They had a moment when he cast out the legion. They had a moment when he began to do miracles they've never seen before. But God's intention was not just for them to chase moments. But he exposed them to the moment so that they can become what they saw.

SPEAKER_03:

God doesn't want you to chase miracles.

SPEAKER_04:

So you become the miracle.

SPEAKER_03:

And wherever you go, miracles go.

SPEAKER_04:

That's why after this scripture, he can charge them and say, Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. You've already seen it. You've seen the dead raise. You've seen the living raise themselves from the dead.

SPEAKER_03:

What more do you need to see?

SPEAKER_04:

You've done it yourself. When I sent you out two by two, devils were subject to your voice. You don't need any more. You don't need any more moments.

SPEAKER_03:

You just need to be empowered to go.

SPEAKER_04:

I uh was asked this question by a young man earlier this year. What is the difference between a disciple and an apostle? I couldn't give an answer. I had to go back to the book and look it up myself.

SPEAKER_03:

And I found out that this scripture that we call the Great Commission is when God transitions them. From just being disciples, followers of moments to apostles that they are being sent as the moment the moment they were transitioned from a disciple to an apostle is when Jesus said go.

SPEAKER_04:

The word apostle simply means someone who is sent. I love holiness, I love the doctrine, but what you dress like and what you believe doesn't only make you apostolic. That makes you a disciple. When you get up from your seat and you do what you saw, you are apostolic when you go, we have idolized and and put on a pedestal people that do not do anything.

SPEAKER_03:

They just talked apart, but they have not gone anywhere. You are not apostolic if you have not gone anywhere, you must go, and if you want to walk in apostolic dominion, and apostolic authority, you must go.

SPEAKER_04:

And for most people, it may not be a crusade, although we want everybody experience what we're experiencing now. But the truth is they won't.

SPEAKER_03:

And the truth is you did, they're not here, but you are, and God is trying to make you what you saw.

SPEAKER_04:

So that the people that cannot come to a crusade, you become the crusade and you demonstrate what God can do when we go when we think big.

SPEAKER_03:

So their goal may not be a crusade, their goal may be their classroom, their goal may be their neighborhood, their community, but they've gotta go somewhere, and it's time for the apostolic church to stop just going to church and go demonstrate.

SPEAKER_04:

Don't wait. Oh hallelujah!

SPEAKER_03:

We've gotta go and demonstrate what we say we believe if there is no demonstration, there will be no movement. God was trying to create a movement with these apostles, so he sent them to wait for the power to be empowered of the Holy Ghost and on the day of Pentecost, we know the story, it was fully come, they were with one accord, they were in one place, suddenly they heard a sound, they experienced a moment, rushing mighty wind, split tongues, different languages they were speaking, talking like they're on fire. The Bible says they were all filled with the Holy Ghost.

SPEAKER_04:

The Bible also said that they did not keep it in that upper room, but people began to hear what they were doing, and this is what stops most people from becoming the movement and then worshipping a moment when people that weren't in the room begin to question your experience and we get intimidated by their lack of experience and we forget that we have just been equipped with something that's gonna transform the world and we back down and we carry down cower down, we get afraid, but we cannot get afraid in this hour when God is equipping millions to reach millions, we have got to be bold like Peter when he stood up with the eleven, and he said, These are not drunk as ye suppose, but this is what we've been waiting on, this is what God is trying to do, all the miracles you saw Jesus do has led up to this moment, and now it's not just for us, but now you've gotta repent and be baptized, it's not just for us, every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, and that same day they went from 120 to over 3,000 because it wasn't just about the moment in the upper room it was about taking action based on what you experienced and creating a movement that people that have not experienced what you experience no matter what they say, they cannot refute the results, they cannot fight your cannot fight the power that's in you, they cannot fight the confidence in God you have now, it is an intimidating spirit, it is doubt that will intimidate you, it is fear that it will intimidate you because you're going back into a situation where people have not experienced what you experienced, and it seems like they are the majority, and it's gonna seem like you're the crazy one to believe instead of two getting the Holy Ghost, 200 can get it. Well, you say, What are you talking about? You're just kind of throwing numbers out there, no, you're speaking big faith.

SPEAKER_03:

You cannot go back to small faith after you see the miracles that you see this week, after you experience the amount of people that will get the Holy Ghost at one service, you cannot go back to small faith Oh hallelujah!

SPEAKER_04:

Can I tell you something?

SPEAKER_03:

It was in a crusade uh trip that Taylor Fish while we were in Mongolia began to dream up that we can see this in the states, he partnered with a church in Florida and se unió con una iglesia in Florida, Pastor Joe Campatella, Pastor Joe Campatella, he may not have known that this was just the beginning, but piloted a program to take the moments of crusade to make it a movement of an apostolic church in North America in North America. I remember the room right at the restaurant in the table, on the first floor, brother Giray was there as he began to cast vision, he began to ask who can be a part of it, they didn't see what he saw, they didn't know what he was convinced of, but when you've been to crusades, you can't go back and it should put a follower in you when you can go to iceberg and they believe it more than the apostolics and then having a move of God without the full truth how much more the apostolic church should take the moments that we experience and create a movement for the kingdom of God we cannot be intimidated by people who will try to overanalyze how God's gonna do it they call it analysis paralysis. You try to figure it out so much you end up doing nothing at all. You gotta get past that and begin to say God's ready, God's ready, I don't care, and even if nobody goes, let's leave a Mexico.

SPEAKER_04:

I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go, and I'm gonna see a move of God. Does anybody want to experience a move of God? It's time for us to go.

SPEAKER_03:

We gotta go, don't worry about the resources if God put a go in your spirit, he will send the people the resources.

SPEAKER_04:

It's waiting.

SPEAKER_03:

Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me.

SPEAKER_04:

I've been around this thing for a little bit.

SPEAKER_02:

I don't claim to be any uh uh expert on any subject, I just know what I've seen, and I see churches that say they believe in the harvest, but they are sitting on millions of dollars in their bank accounts designated for the harvest and are doing nothing with it, designated for missions and are doing nothing with it, it just takes one dream in the night for God to speak to a man of God and say there's somebody willing to go, and if you keep that money in the account, I'm gonna curse it until you give it, and God's about to do it, but he needs some people that are willing to go, and once we have a go in our spirit, God's gonna up to the word of prophecy in this place.

SPEAKER_04:

God's gonna open up the coffers, he's gonna open up the resources, he's gonna open up the storehouses that's just sitting collecting interest. It's about to get into your mission, it's about to send into your mission because you've got to go in your spirit, you've gotta go, you gotta go, you've gotta go.
