Kingdom Reformation

In this powerful audio sermon, Glenn Bleakney delves into the concept of the fivefold ministry—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—using the imagery of Ezekiel 37's vision of resurrected bones to underscore the critical need for unity and collaboration within the church. Bleakney emphasizes that the fivefold ministry, which reflects the fullness of Christ, must operate synergistically rather than independently. He asserts that this unity is vital for revival and the complete manifestation of Christ's glory on earth, calling for healing, reconciliation, and reformation within the body of Christ. The ultimate vision he casts is for a unified church that effectively represents Christ to the world.

Has God ever blatantly interrupted your life plans for you to follow His? There invariably will come a time in our spiritual journey when the Lord will solicit our cooperation in permitting Him to guide us in a new way. His preference is that we would sense His leading, fully cooperate and move in the new direction. However, as is all too often the case, He must intervene in the affairs of our lives due to the fact that we are comfortable and entrenched in our present course of action. In this teaching, Glenn Bleakney shares the 3 Biblical ways God often uses to move us in a new direction.

The number 21 represents a powerful period of spiritual formation and habit development. In Scripture, Daniel's period of prayer and fasting lasted 21 days before receiving his vision (Daniel 10:13). Modern research also suggests that 21 days is a crucial threshold for establishing new habits and patterns in our lives. This makes it an ideal timeframe for intentionally developing a deeper walk with Jesus.

Welcome to your 21-day journey of walking with Jesus. Just as the disciples walked alongside our Savior, learning from His words, actions, and very presence, He invites us to walk closely with Him today. This devotional is designed to help you develop a deeper, more intentional relationship with Christ through daily reflection, prayer, and practical application of biblical principles.

During these three transformative weeks, we'll explore essential life lessons through the lens of Scripture and Jesus's perfect example. We'll learn how to:

• Choose the right path and align our goals with God's purpose
• Care for our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit
• Develop habits that draw us closer to Christ
• Find joy in the journey of following Jesus
• Transform our daily routines into acts of worship
• Navigate life's challenges with divine wisdom
• Build relationships that honor God
• Steward our resources for Kingdom impact

Each daily devotion includes:

• Focused Scripture passages
• A meditation connecting life principles with Jesus's teachings
• Personal reflection questions
• Practical action steps for immediate application
• A guided prayer for spiritual growth

How to Use This Devotional:

1. Set aside a specific time each day for your walk with Jesus
2. Read the devotion slowly and contemplatively
3. Take time to complete the reflection questions in a journal
4. Implement at least one action step each day
5. Use the prayer as a starting point for deeper conversation with God
6. Consider finding a prayer partner to share the journey

Remember, this is not merely a reading exercise—it's an invitation to walk alongside the Savior Himself. Jesus meets you exactly where you are, but loves you too much to leave you there. These 21 days can be the beginning of lasting transformation in your walk with Christ. As research shows that it takes approximately 21 days to form a new habit, let this period be one of establishing lifelong patterns of walking closely with Jesus.

Join the Deep-dive team as they discuss Towards an Institutional or Apostolic Vision by Alejandro Rodríguez, a long-time member of Youth With A Mission (YWAM) since 1989. The book is addressed to fellow "warriors" in YWAM, encouraging them to reflect on the organization's vision and remove practices that are commonplace in ministry but do not align with God's expectations.

The book argues that YWAM is best understood not as a Christian organization but as an "apostolic mission.". This distinction is important because it impacts how the organization and its members see themselves. Rodríguez warns against falling into a "Para-church" mentality, where YWAMers view themselves as separate from or superior to the local church. Instead, YWAM should be "part of something greater" -- namely, the global church.

An apostolic vision, according to the sources, has several key characteristics:

• It involves recognizing that God has already been at work and that YWAM has "a glorious inheritance" to build on and pass on to future generations
• It requires seeing YWAM as a family, not just a hotel where people come and go as they please
• It prioritizes discipleship, which is "a lifestyle," not just a six-month or one-year program
• It calls for "passing on a legacy," not just delegating tasks
• It means impacting society beyond just church activities, striving to be "relevant in society"
• It involves dependence on God, not money

One of the biggest threats to this apostolic vision is the tendency to become "institutionalized". Rodríguez draws contrasts between an institutional and an apostolic approach to various aspects of YWAM life and ministry:

• Christian Organization vs. Apostolic Mission [4]
• Looking Out for One's Own Ministry vs. Being Part of Something Greater [7]
• Bases vs. Missionary Communities [17]
• Leaders vs. Pastors/Spiritual Parents [18]
• Training vs. Discipleship [19]
• Staff Members vs. Servants of God [20]
• Pastoral Care vs. Pastoral Life [21]
• Delegating a Task vs. Passing on a Legacy [22]
• Students vs. Disciples [23]
• Institutional Presence vs. A Mission that is Relevant in Society [14]
• Ministerial Activities vs. A Vision to Follow [24]
• Bound to Money vs. Depending on God [16]

Rodríguez uses numerous examples and anecdotes to illustrate his points. These range from personal experiences in YWAM Argentina to biblical stories. Notably, he emphasizes the role of families in YWAM, highlighting the challenges and opportunities they face [25, 26]. He also stresses the importance of recognizing "openings, opportunities, and urgency" in missions [27]. By responding to these, YWAM can truly make a difference in society and be part of God's work of transforming nations.

The sources conclude with a call to action, urging YWAMers to reflect on what they have read and to allow the Holy Spirit to renew their lives and ministries [28]. Rodríguez encourages them to embrace the apostolic vision and to build upon the foundation they have inherited. He emphasizes that God still has much to reveal about this vision and that YWAM, as a family, can achieve great things together in fulfilling the Great Commission [29].
