How do you maximize favor? Favor is not a concept commonly found in modern governmental structures because it is a Kingdom principle. It is always necessary to make the distinction that the Kingdom is not a religion. It is a country, a nation. Since you are part of a Kingdom, it is important to understand how favor operates. Remember, you can either maximize its benefits or minimize them.

We are a peculiar people and a holy nation, meaning we are sanctified. We are not of this world.

In Max Favor Part 3, Pastor Mike Darnell highlights key issues that cause many to reject the Kingdom and misunderstand concepts that have been misinterpreted, leading to blindness regarding the impact of favor and character and immobility when it comes to advancing the Kingdom. For example, most people have not been taught what sanctification truly is and lack an understanding of holiness.

Both of these words relate to character.

We must begin thinking of the Kingdom of God in national, not religious, terms. You must also think of yourself as a nation. Nations are identified by their culture. What sets you apart? What makes you distinct? It is the culture you display.

That culture can either separate you from or keep you boxed out of what God has for you. Therefore, a shift in culture is what God desires.

To embrace this, a Kingdom paradigm is required. This is the key to receiving communication from the King. Without it, you will misinterpret His words and fail to reflect them in your culture.

Character is the capacity to receive. Character is the very design of something. Fathers shape character. You must allow God to shape you.

The Shattered Mirrors series by Pastor Mike Darnell has already empowered many to understand the vital role of evangelism. While not everyone is called to be an evangelist, we are all called to do the work of one.

We have been mandated to preach the Word and share the gospel. However, despite its importance, we don’t always follow through. We don’t always go out and share the gospel. Many people have reasons for hesitating, and in this installment of the series, Pastor Joseph Tolbert takes us on a deep dive into these reasons and what it takes to overcome hardship and opposition to the mission at hand.

In Shattered Mirrors Part 5, you will learn to identify key obstacles to evangelism, including feeling unqualified due to a lack of expertise, fear, "clientitis," and the general discomfort of hardship.

For the world to change, we must share the gospel. When you share the gospel of the Kingdom, you’re sharing the Word of God—not your own words or the world’s ideas. And that makes all the difference.

Remember, when God anoints you, that anointing comes with an assignment. That anointing carries a responsibility.

Count it no small thing that God has anointed you. Embrace your assignment, and listen to the episode now to learn how to be bold in your faith and overcome opposition to effectively evangelize.

Evangelism is the expansion of an idea and, consequently, the expansion of a culture.

It is not just approaching someone and asking, “Do you know the Lord?” Although that can be a part of it, evangelism is fundamentally the promotion of an idea. When you think of evangelism, you should see yourself as both a spokesperson and a representative of God’s Kingdom.

In Shattered Mirrors Part 4, Pastor Mike Darnell teaches what true evangelism entails. In this installment of the series, you will gain an understanding of the importance of completely shattering the mirror when it comes to studying yourself. You cannot study the self-image to uncover the truths of the Kingdom, as those truths are spiritually known. To truly understand, you must be born again, and your spirit must be made alive! You must believe God and let go of the old system entirely.

Any system or methodology outside of the Kingdom leads to separation and spiritual blindness. When the Kingdom is introduced, it brings with it a greater, excelling glory. In God's Kingdom, there is one mind and one intelligence, but your understanding can be blinded by old covenant information or worldly influences.

Modern-day evangelism often leads people to place their trust in things that mislead them about who and what they can depend on. Even Christians can fall into this trap by promoting carnal methods and worldly ways of getting things done. However, you should not be a commercial for materialism, selfishness, or carnal Christianity.

Jesus went to the cross to set you free from yourself—so you don’t have to trust in your own limited thoughts, rely on worldly systems, or carry the burden of figuring everything out on your own.

This is true freedom. Learn more by listening to Shattered Mirrors Part 4 now.

Have you noticed that churches today are increasingly art-driven?

Being art-driven refers to the strategies we use to implement ideas or actions. Unfortunately, many churches are moving away from science or knowledge. In other words, people are neglecting to study the science of the Kingdom.

Art involves doing, but without the foundation of the science, people lack true understanding.

It is imperative to have a deep knowledge of the Kingdom and a clear understanding of God's concepts. Application and strategy vary in every situation, so a solid understanding of the science is essential. Once you possess that knowledge, you can become the artist of its application.

When you have full knowledge, you can be led by the Holy Spirit to develop strategies and solutions.

In Shattered Mirrors Part 3, Pastor Mike Darnell explains why having the right knowledge of God and the Bible is crucial. This is knowledge from another dimension—equipping you to demonstrate the culture of the Kingdom of Heaven and evangelize effectively. You need the science to fulfill your purpose.

The work of ministry is about expanding the Kingdom: its knowledge, culture, and concepts. You are a diplomat sent from Heaven to Earth to represent the King's values, ideas, and ways. As a culture-bringer, this becomes your mission when you awaken to the call.

Listen now as Pastor Mike ignites your fire for evangelism and brings the order to it!

We need to return to the spirit of evangelism. Evangelism is a primary responsibility of the church. It is the church's duty.

Unfortunately, over time, the church has become a spectator sport—a place where, if you're not careful, the mindset of a consumer can take over. This turns the church into a place that serves you. While there is an element of service, it is not the only aspect of church life.

As a church, we must understand that there will be resistance to our assignment.

We must recognize that there are forces working against our mission. God is not the only one evangelizing—the enemy is, too. He is actively trying to occupy your mind, your heart, and your desires, even seeking to hijack the church itself.

In Shattered Mirrors Part 2, Pastor Mike Darnell explains why it is imperative that we get activated in the fight of faith, understanding the importance of fulfilling our assignment and doing the work of an evangelist. He also addresses why the Christian worldview is in decline, detailing what is replacing true evangelism. Pastor Mike uncovers the major resistance to the advancement of the Kingdom, revealing the enemy's tactics, including secularism, the unchurched spirituality movement, and spiritual “vitamins” and supplements. This is just the beginning of what you need to understand in order to be in alignment with God’s Word and to act according to His will.

To understand evangelism, you must recognize that it is essentially about advancing a nation. To evangelize a nation is to advance it forward.

In the first installment of the Shattered Mirrors series, Pastor Mike Darnell explores the lost institution of evangelism and why it is vital to advancing the Kingdom of God.

To advance someone is to guide them toward a life beyond themselves. Evangelism is the essence of moving people beyond their self-centered existence. When you help them move beyond themselves, you open the door to Kingdom living.

Understand that the most dangerous thing is self-education.

All our issues stem from thinking and acting according to a self-trained, natural mind.

The natural human mind belongs to the self-realm, where self-training, self-seeking, self-treating, and self-remedy dominate. Evangelism brings the knowledge of the Kingdom to address and heal this condition.

Unfortunately, true evangelism is rare today, but the time for that to change is now.

Evangelism is not only for the world but also for the church. We all have a role to play.
