LEGACY

LIVING ON AFTER YOU'RE GONE

From the very beginning, when I came to Canada in 2000, and up to this season, I have always been about legacy. One of the first things I put in place as more people began to come along side of us, was team ministry. I understood that all God’s children are anointed and have something to give, so I laid hands on them, prayed impartation over them, and released them to pray and prophesy over others. Team ministry is when the whole team ministers, not just the speaker. This, of course, was a foreign concept to many, and something not being practiced in general. This is one of the hallmarks of the apostolic model, the father raising up the children and releasing them into their giftings. The greater part of the church in Canada at the time followed the pastoral model, where only the pastor or guest speaker minister.

We serve a God of legacy, and His heart is for sons and daughters. Now more than ever, it is important for the next generation to rise up and take the land, but this is only possible is they are discipled, and then mentored. More than ever, the church today needs spiritual fathers and mothers to rise up and mentor the next generation.

You cannot lead someone where you have never been, but wherever you are at in your journey with Him right now and with all that you have been through, know that God has been preparing you for such a time as this.

Truly, it is a time to pour into a generation that is rising up to walk in power and authority; a generation that encompasses a range of ages from the very young to even a seasoned person. I believe it is time for spiritual mothers and fathers to rise up and wake up and to impart the vast treasures of knowledge and experience you have gained as you have traveled in this walk with our Lord.

YOU HAVE A PURPOSE!

You were formed for a purpose, for a destiny; the Bible tells us before the foundation of the world, and you need to stay true to that purpose. God is revealing and releasing His church. We can lead or pour into a generation when we know that we have traveled that road and we know that road works.

Let’s all help raise up a generation that has become motherless and fatherless. Let’s nurture them and be there for them, let’s speak into their lives and breathe life into them with the power of our words and the role model of our faith.

Each of us is at a different place spiritually in our journey. Sometimes we have a difficult time identifying the destiny call that is on our lives. The great apostolic prayer of Paul in Ephesians 1:17, 18 says, “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.” We need to realize that the Lord wants us to be spiritually AND naturally successful, not one OR the other. He wants to prosper us as our souls prosper. The Word says, “What good would it be to gain the whole world and lose your soul?” All the natural personal financial success without the adjoining spiritual success leaves man empty.

Prophetically the season that we are in is that we are standing at the threshold of the greatest harvest ever known to man and the greatest battle. These are the days of the harvest. These are the days of Elijah. The fields are white and ready for harvest. Malachi chapter 3 and 4 clearly speak of the season we are in. This is the time the messenger is sent with purifying fire to purge away that which is not of the Spirit so that the gold and the silver will remain in our lives.

PROPHETIC JOURNEY TO YOUR SPIRITUAL DESTINY

Success is not the destination, but rather the journey. I need to clearly know where I am going but I also need to rightly identify who I am in Christ and where I am at in this journey. I believe that there are 5 cycles or passages to our spiritual destiny and many different phases even within those passages.
