The Great Commission is a TEACHING as well as PREACHING commission!

Mt 28:19-20 “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (NAS) Teach them all I commanded you.

Did you know that Jesus gave us 50 commandments to take to the nations?

The 50 commandments of Christ will change a nation. Notice how Jesus commands us to both preach repentance and TEACH THEM TO “OBSERVE ALL THINGS THAT I COMMANDED YOU”. We tend to focus on getting people saved, or born again. That is certainly the start. This however is called the “Gospel of Salvation.”

The “Gospel of the Kingdom” on the other hand is the Gospel we are called to preach. It includes the call to repentance but goes much further. It 7 Mountains of Culture reaches into the world system and threatens Satan’s control over the nations. It is a teaching commission along side a preaching commission. It has been neglected too long.

To disciple a nation you need a philosophy that governs all aspects of behavior yet is flexible enough to apply to all sectors of society. What are the sectors of society the gospel must penetrate in order to disciple nations?

There are in fact seven mountains or world kingdoms that make up the matrix in which the culture of every nation exists. These mountains are also called “mind molders”, because the person who controls the tops of these mountains has leverage over the minds and lives of those beneath in every other mountain. The church has a message for each of these mountains. We need to both demonstrate the power of God and recover our confidence in the practical, life changing dynamic that is unleashed when society is built on non optional universal life principles- the commandments of Christ! It is the absence of this moral foundation that explains why it is easier to liberate a country from dictatorship than it is to bring it into order and prosperity once the dictator is out of power.

Wow Paula!

Thank you for your inspirational email. Thank you for leading this prayer movement for the past 9 months.

It’s amazing that you sent your email this morning and I saw it because I wasn’t planning to check emails today. Yesterday evening after sending the Pray Culpeper email and doing a corresponding blog post, you were the one pastor who came to my mind and considered calling you to invite you to Pray Culpeper. I know you are a woman after God’s own heart and “give yourself continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word” (Acts 6:4).

I miss seeing you at the monthly Culpeper Ministerial Association meetings from 8-9:30 am on the third Tuesday of each month. Whenever I ride by your home on my bicycle, I think about you and pray for blessings for you, your family, your church, and your ministry.

Blessings to experience God in extraordinary ways for extraordinary fruit!

Randy

Hi Randy,

I wanted to tell you that NBWC [New Beginnings Worship Center] has been meeting for prayer at 1pm every Wednesday for the last 9 months. We begin with streaming prayer with Billye Brim (billyebrim.org) at 1:00, praying for a Great Awakening. The Lord had spoken last November that no man could save America, only and awakening to God. Millions around the world are praying together at this time for our nation, & nations around the world. That usually ends about 2:15 p.m. and then we continue for a couple of more hours as the Holy Spirit leads us. We often take a break about 4:30 until 6:30 to eat, take care of things, etc. (some stay & sit quietly with music playing) and then we start again, sometimes watching a dvd teaching on prayer or giving scripture, then more prayer. It is a day set aside for assembling ourselves & joining our supply of the Spirit of God for united prayer. Anyone is welcome.

I have desired to come on Wednesdays to join with you at noon, but have been preparing for prayer here at that time. We do pray for a glorious awakening in Culpeper, the churches, the plan of God, the saints…soon several of us will join you at noon, then just leave a little early. Be blessed in all you do. What a privilege it is that God chose us to live on earth at this time!

Shalom,
Pastor Paula
