God has been showing up in a great way at Next level. Brothers from all over the city and now all over the world are coming to Next level. We are experiencing nights of glory and refreshing. I am unsure of what God is doing as of right now but of this one thing I AM sure.... the Windows of heaven are open and God is pouring out more of His glory over His people. I know for personally he has reminded me that He is a God of power.
We were greatly blessed last week as Pastor Stephen George came to NLM with His family. God spoke and the Holy spirit Filled!! This week we are expecting more of the same with the coming of Pastor Mohit Morris from India.
Pastor Mohit Morris Has been ministering in Louisiana and people have been greatly enriched by his ministry. He will be with us this Thursday at Next Level. Pastor Morris planted over 1000 home churches in over 600 villages in North India. God has used him mightily to minister to thousands around the globe and he will be with us this one night! Use your influence and come experience a great night of ministry!!!!

Being a light in the midst of darkness (notes from 08-20-2009)
Acts 13:47 "For this is what the Lord has COMMANDED us: " I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth."
If we are to do what God has commanded us to do, and do it effectively we must remember a few things:
1) You must be grounded and rooted in your God given identity
- All imaginations of defeat must be cast down. The enemy wants you to think that our existence is futile and that their is no way that one person can make a difference.
-You must recognize yourself as a son/daughter of God: you are royalty, the head and not tail, above only and never beneath, God's favorite, His handiwork, His ambassador.
- Immerse yourself and be baptized with the confidence a true son/daughter of God would have
I Samuel 14 - Jonathan was confident that God would give him the victory. He knew that God + 1 always equalled a majority. He knew that God was and is committed to His people.
You must understand your authority and Establish, Secure and Expand God's perimeter (the Kingdom's influence in the area)
Establish- this means to join yourself with other believers to pray and form a cell of the Kingdom of God
Secure- accountability, Keeping a bond of peace, Be a visionary and stay on track. This means that you must know what God has called you to do and no matter what, you stick to it!!!
Expand - Let your life or cell be a model and expand the vision to others. Slowly build up God's army!!
These three things cannot be done without prayer. God will give us and show us His heart in the intimacy of one on one meetings with Him!!
Luke 4:42; 6:12; Mark 1:35; Luke 21:37 Jesus was alone to minister to God. In Luke 5:16; and 6:15 Jesus often withdrew to be alone with God. He is our example!!!
What stops us from drawing near??? Fear, too busy, laziness, selfishness, religiousness!!! or we are just to afraid of being transparent with God.
You will find in prayer that God is our Hiding place, our refuge, our strong tower, our fortress, and our secret place! We must our secret place with God!! Isaiah 26:9 says "My heart longs for you." that should be our cry!! Remember that if God has your presence, You will have His!!
Doing all of this will allow you infiltrate the enemies perimeter. You do this first with intercession. You can intercede while you pray but you don't have to pray to intercede!!! Intercession is a place of meeting. The Blood meets with sickness, weakness meets with strength, unforgiveness meets the cross of Christ...etc, and we are the facilitators of these meetings. The principle behind this is this: If Christ the KING is in us, and a Kingdom is established wherever the KING is, then wherever you go, the Kingdom of God is their ready for a meeting to be established and Christs rule to be established!!!
God has destined victory for all of us not calamity or defeat. He wants you to be a light for Him but first He just plainly wants you to be HIS. "If you seek me you will find me; if you seek me with all of your heart, you will be found by me"
Blessings....Until ALL have heard,
