Unity is a great blessing. Unity must be strived for. It is something that is dear to the heart of God.

But........
I have been in ministry for some 26 years. You experience a lot of great things & a lot of not so great things also over such a period of time. You see things that are absolutely 'God' & other things that are absolutely 'Man'.
Hopefully you get wise over the years & you begin to understand that not all that is purported to be of God is actually God at all.

have been deeply concerned over the last few years of the direction Spirit filled believers & Churches are heading. The lack of actual supernatural Christianity is staggering. Pentecostal Churches once filled with the power of God seem to be rapidly becoming just another 'club'. Mindsets have changed to that of compromise to become relevant and we have settled into a Christianity that is more like comfyanity than true Christianity. I am amazed as to the influence non 'Spirit filled' teaching has had on 'Spirit filled' people, churches & movements. In fact I am sad that a lot of money & effort is going into developing nations teaching them to be non filled, non empowered, & have a western (humanistic) mindset towards Christianity. Dear God we need money & effort to be poured into these nations to teach them the ways of the Spirit, living a supernatural lifestyle instead of teaching them our western comfyanity.

Amos 3:3 (NKJV) Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?

I was talking with a pastor a few years ago & we were talking about unity of the Spirit. We came to the conclusion that 'unity of the Spirit' is different to 'unity'. Unity is full of compromise - finding the lowest common denominator and then basing our unity on the little we agree on to achieve what is termed unity.

For years I marched behind a cross at Easter & sang carols at combined Christmas celebrations all in the name of 'unity'.

My question is this - why cant we have unity of the Spirit - no compromise.

Unity from the highest common denominator instead of the lowest.

I was part of a great group of spirit filled ministers a few years ago with a high-ish common denominator - it was great. When I moved towns I went to a fraternal meeting where unity was purported but it was from a lowest common denominator perspective. In fact I am not sure whether one of the ministers there actually believed in the Same Jesus as I did. So what common unity did we have - the church fate, the combined church meetings. The group was actually called  ******** churches together.

What I am trying to say is this - surely there is power in unity, with a high common denominator. When people are agreed on a large scale there is power. Being on the same page, going in the same direction. Surely this is what a movement is, moving in the same direction. A movement of Holy Ghost people & Churches going in the same direction, no compromise, full of the power of the Holy Ghost, overshadowed by His Presence and His Purposes being wrought. A company of people & Churches that are Spirit led, flowing in supernatural power.

I want to be about this kind of unity don't you. Its not about agreeing about every little detail but the majors have to be agreed on. Jesus is obviously a major but that is where a lot of agreement stops. The Holy Spirit is was a major a few years ago but now due to compromise for the sake of 'unity' has become a minor.

I want to be about the Holy Ghost being a major, His presence & power being displayed. I want to be about raising the bar so that people will rise to new heights. Jesus obviously thought that the supernatural was a major as He talked about it at great length. I want to be about seeing people released in the Spirit doing the miraculous works of Jesus.
I believe this is one reason the Lord has had Jeannette & myself start the Supernatural Schools of the Spirit & the upcoming Spirit Led Leadership Training.

The schools are incredibly blessed by the Lord, huge anointing on them at present with many testimonies of changed lives, healings etc. We are about activating the body in the works of Jesus.If you would like something in your area please contact us now as we are booking up next year.

Be Blessed

Testimony from Nelson School

Last weekend in Nelson NZ, we ran a 101 Supernatural School of the Spirit.

During this time we encouraged everyone to believe God for the supernatural manifestation of His word.

To be tenacious until His will is done.About 10 guys from a youth group came to be part of the school.

After the Saturday night meeting finished they continued still praying for their friend who had a hole the size of a top off a soft drink bottle in his back due to an infection after a botched operation.One of the guys testified Sunday night that they continued praying until 3am for a miracle to his back.

When they looked one time skin had started growing around the hole. They prayed more & saw skin actually 'bubbling' up. - A creative miracle - wow. Their faith skyrocketed after seeing this miracle.
