Heritage International Christian Church Service Podcast

Pastor Jackson is talking about the purpose of organization in a church. Act 16:5, (And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily). Gods will; is that people get saved every day and that nobody goes to hell. Acts 4:32-35, (And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold. And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

Acts 6:1, (And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables. Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.

Gods will; is for his churches to grow, God wants people to be saved and disciple. Isaiah 50:4-5, (The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned. The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. Ask God to give you the tongue of the learned, so that you can have a word in season for that person that is weary. Strong churches; makes a strong christen city and strong christen cities makes a strong christen nation. That’s God plan to restore strength and prosperity to the nation. It goes all the way back to the cities and the churches. Organization is the order or pattern through which life flows. The whole purpose of the organization is not to exists for itself but to flow through it members. The only organization that God put on this planet to stop the Devil is the church.

Pastor Jackson is continuing on with the 40 days of series with the teaching on purpose; with the following scriptures: Luke 15: 11-15, Luke 13:6 -9 and Romans 8:29. The last parable that we just read from Luke 13: 6-9, is a picture of God’s plan of salvation. The whole purpose of the tree was so the owner to go out to puck fruit from the tree. The restoration is not complete until we are producing fruit. Being saved is great but you weren’t created just to be saved; you were created to be fruitful for God. He created you for the purpose, the whole reason he created you in his image and likeness so you can carry his presence to wherever there is darkness, you can carry his light. So just being saved does not restore you to what you were created for. You have to be saved and got to grow spiritually; so you can now become everything you were created to be. You and I are God trees; God planned us to get fruit from us, and that’s purpose. Satan poison us, he poison our lives with sin, so we are not fulfilling Gods purposes for our lives. You purpose for being there; is to carry his presence just like Jesus did so when there is a need, when there is a sickness, when there is confusion or strife or whatever it is, you are there and God can show up through you just like he did with Jesus.

(Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world).

Pastor Jackson is talking about The First Sunday of 40 Days of Purpose, which is the second message with the important of getting ready to be saved (Act 4:23-33 and Luke 9:57-62) The whole experience is about the present of God and because Life is in Gods present. The encounters are just the beginning but it is the carrying for a world that is in darkness. Purpose: What is Purpose? Purpose is the cause for the creation of a thing, the ends for which the means exist, is the original reason for the existence of a thing. When you don’t know the purpose of a thing; that’s when abuse happen. Abuse is when you use some thing for a purpose it was not created for; or when you don’t use something for the purpose it was created for. God is waiting for people to use what he created them for to do his will to change things in the Earth. You were created to carry Gods present in the Earth, to carry his healing power, to carry his deliverance power, to carry his creative power, to carry his love power. Where we are going to is to carry Gods present to our friends, our neighbors and people all around us.
