THREE STAGES OF MINISTRY

INTRODUCTION

I have noted three stages of ministry revealed in the New Testament through the lives of the apostles of Christ.

I believe understanding these stages can help a lot of people have direction and understanding of where they are. I know and understand that the Holy Spirit can take us through different routes, but it helps to know these stages anyway.

The three stages of ministry are: Calling, Ordination and finally Commissioning and Empowerment.

There may be more stages than these, but these three are the ones I am going to expound on.

Two Ways to Interpret Dreams and Visions

Introduction

In this teaching I would like to share on two ways that symbolic dreams and visions can be interpreted. For this I will look at two prophets, Daniel and Zechariah, both of which had symbolic visions but functioned in two different ways.

The two ways I will look at are Interpretation by understanding and Interpretation by prophecy. Both ways work through the grace of the Holy Spirit, each with its on strengths and weaknesses.

I will start be looking at the two styles separately then we will compare the benefits of each, then we will look at examples of how to interpret by understanding and lastly, we will answer the question of why God speaks in symbols.

FINDING A GOOD CHURCH

Introduction

Over the years I have met a lot of people who have asked me the question, which church should I go to, or which is the real true church, or something similar. As people begin to notice what seems like short comings in their congregations, and hear attacks on their leaders they start to wonder where they can get access to the true church of God.

Instead of just giving a blanket answer, I have decided to give a comprehensive bible based teaching that can help such a person in making a decision, with scriptural understanding of where they stand in God.

OVERCOMING ATTACKS IN DREAMS

Introduction

Over the past years I have experienced many different types of attacks at night in dreams. I have had recurring dreams of being attacked by snakes, crocodiles, cattle/bulls, cats, bees, dogs, elephants, hyenas, lions, mad men, witch doctors and witches.

In addition to these I have had different kinds of evil spirits manifest in my bedroom to attack me whilst I was awake at night, some I understood to be demons, satanists, fallen angels, mermaids goblins and other spirits I have never figured out what kind they were.

In all these God has given me great victory over the years. Some times I would battle with a certain type of attack for years and then the Lord would come and give me a teaching of what type of attack it was, and how to enter into ultimate victory over it.

INTEGRITY

Introduction

Around 2015 or so, I had a dream. In this dream a man came to me and said, “Charles, you need to practice integrity.” Then it ended like that.

This came as a shock to me because I had always pictured myself as an honest man of integrity. In fact, if you had asked any of my friends and family they would have said, ‘Charles has integrity.’ But as I woke up, I realised something, I didn’t really know what integrity was. I had always assumed I had it, but what is integrity exactly? I didn’t know what it was, and I soon realised that many christians also don’t know what it is.

Since the Lord had come to correct me on that area, I set out to find out what integrity was, and when I did, I realised that I surely was not practising integrity in every area of my life. What I leant changed my life forever. This teaching is a testimony to share what I leant about integrity. I believe it will be a blessing to you, and I pray, your life is transformed by it, just as mine was.

3 Keys of The Kingdom

Introduction

When Peter received the revelation that Jesus is Christ – the Son of God, the Lord promises to give him keys of the kingdom of heaven, which would allow him to bind and loose heavenly things on earth. In this teaching we will look at three gates of heaven that The Lord later reveals to Peter, and the three keys of the kingdom that unlock those gates.

THE ANGEL OF THE LORD

INTRODUCTION

As we read throughout the Old Testament, there is a rather mysterious figure who appears first in the life of Abraham and continues to lead him and his descendants within their Messianic destiny. This figure is known as The Angel of the LORD and he speaks as God himself. As a result people have come to the conclusion that he is either Jesus, The Holy Spirit or part of the God head. But careful study of the scriptures and with the revelation of the apostles, we find that the angel of The LORD is not Jesus or part of the Godhead. The angel of the LORD is just an angel. In fact they are many angels. This teaching was prepared to teach on why the angel of the Lord is not Jesus, and explain how he speaks as God himself. Let’s talk scriptures.

7 Revelations of The 7 Spirits of God_2

PART2: THE MENORA

INTRODUCTION

One of the ways in which the seven spirits of God are represented in the bible, is through the seven lights of the menorah. The menorah is a golden lampstand that was placed to light up the sanctuary of the temple. It was one lampstand with seven lamps of fire.

The Importance of Scriptures in the life of a Believer

Introduction

So, you believe in Jesus and you love him with all your heart. You are full of the spirit and you hear the voice of God through the inner unction, through dreams, through prophecies by fellow believers or even personal visions and experiences. If God is already speaking to you, why do you need the scriptures?

7 Revelations of The 7 Spirits of God

(PART 1: The Seven Virtues)

INTRODUCTION

In May 2019, The Lord gave me a teaching on what he called, ‘The Seven Mysteries of the Bible.’ Within that teaching I mention the mystery of the seven stars and the seven lampstands, as one of the seven mysteries of the bible. I greatly encourage the reader to look into that teaching first before continuing with this one.
