How to use Power in your Evangelism.

Join us in a power-packed episode of the Arise Church podcast as Pastor Brent tackles the issue of fake Christianity, drawing parallels to buying knock-off apparel. Is our version of Christianity lacking the power to bring about real change in ourselves and the world? It might look the same on the outside, but is it missing the qualities of integrity and genuineness?

We dive into Acts 3, where Peter and John encounter a man lame from birth at the temple gate. This healing sparks a powerful monologue from Peter, reflecting on the challenges faced by Jesus-followers and the transformative impact of true Christianity.

Revival is explored as a menu of possibilities, revealing what's normal, genuine, and authentic in Christianity. Acts 3:1-10 narrates the healing of the lame man, leading to a massive conversion of 5,000 people. Peter shares the story, emphasizing the persecution that follows those who boldly preach Christ.

As we yearn for revival, the podcast draws inspiration from historical examples, like the prayerful plea of Billy Graham at John Wesley's bedroom. Revival starts with the individual, with the analogy of pregnancy emphasizing the conception in hidden prayer closets.

The second key to becoming ground zero for revival is understanding our authority in Christ. Power in evangelism is discussed, highlighting the effectiveness of combining the proclamation of the Gospel with supernatural demonstrations of power.

Lastly, putting God in day-to-day life is crucial for true revival. Revival is not just an event; it's a lifestyle. The episode concludes with a challenge: are we settling for a fake "Louie Vital" version of Christianity? The American church faces a choice between detonation and domestication. Have we domesticated our faith to the point of losing its wildness and hunger for the power of God?

Join us as we navigate these questions, seeking a genuine and powerful expression of Christianity in today's world.

It ends with me! Becoming Ground Zero For Change.

Join us in a power-packed episode of the Arise Church podcast as Pastor Brent explores the idea that individuals, like George Washington, set precedents and traditions that can be passed down through generations, influencing behavior and even having a genetic impact through epigenetics. It delves into the concept of trauma being passed down and how this can contribute to the cycle of "hurt people hurt people." The episode suggests the need to erase old patterns to create new ones.

The message then transitions to a biblical example, focusing on Simon Peter's story. It highlights a specific moment in AD 33 when Peter acknowledges Jesus as the Messiah, laying the foundation for the church. The analogy is drawn between building a spiritual house and the need to tear down old structures to create something new.

The podcast emphasizes the influence of cultural expectations and the importance of recognition, repentance, and accountability in breaking old mindsets. It encourages adopting a Kingdom culture over personal or familial culture, urging individuals to be countercultural and not conform to worldly patterns. The message emphasizes the necessity of transformation through renewing the mind.

In conclusion, the episode encourages breaking generational cycles and passing on blessings rather than curses. It challenges individuals to shape the mindset that will end with them, fostering a culture of positive change. The provided inspiration for the summary is a podcast episode that explores the transformative power of facing and learning from failures, reinforcing the idea of growth and improvement through challenges.

Embracing Failure as a Stepping Stone to Success

Join us in a power-packed episode of the Arise Church podcast as he unfurls the wisdom and strength hidden in the face of failure. Through personal experiences and an in-depth study of Apostle Peter’s journey, we elucidate how failures can be pivotal in stimulating spiritual and personal growth.

Following an enlightening discussion on Peter's denial of Jesus, this episode brings forth how our actions, dictated by misconstrued roles and intentions, can lead us astray. By embracing these failures, and comprehending the lessons they offer, one can find the path to overcoming subsequent challenges.

We also highlight numerous notable personalities, their initial failures, and their ultimate triumph, fostering the belief that failure is not terminal but merely an opportunity for improvement. Encouraging you to take accountability for your failures and not fear repeated attempts, we instill the idea of failing forward as the outcome of relentless effort.

Having illustrated various anecdotes from the lives of historical and biblical figures, this episode encourages perseverance and resilience, even when faced with overwhelming failures. It underscores the role of failures in stimulating innovation and discovery, much like the story of the Wright brothers' unyielding determination amidst adversity.

This episode ends with an exploration of three principles surrounding the notion of failure and their application in our individual and collective growth. From learning fast from our mistakes to "failing forward" and persistently seeking God in every situation, the narrative puts a spotlight on the transformative power of facing and learning from failures. Concluding with a heartening analogy of a muddy shoe turned brand new, listeners are reminded of God's grace and forgiveness that can cleanse away any stain of failure.

This Parable of the Seed and Sower | Seeds | Pastor Brent Simpson

1. The power of parables is in the pursuit of understanding. vs11-15

2. You have an advantageous position in your pursuit. Vs 16-17

3. The soil of your heart will determine your ability to receive understanding and operate in the Kingdom. Vs 18-23

What is the Biblical remnant? | Pastor Brent Simpson | Revival Is Now

Remnants can be a symbol of what once was, and can be again.

Romans 11:1-5

Across America, many have accepted a WATERED DOWN version of Christianity.

There is a remnant!

1. Remnants are (often) forged during difficult times.

-The faith of Daniel was forged, tried, and tested, amidst the extreme conditions of Babylon.

-We are now living in a digital Babylon

Daniel 1:8, Daniel 1:15-20

2. Remnants form new discipleship patterns.

Romans 12:2, Daniel 6:10

5 remnant patterns

1) Prayer

2) Fasting

3) Biblical Meditation

4) Serving

5) Giving First you form patterns and then your patterns form you.

- Wishing for revival is not the same as patterning for revival.

3. The patterns of Remnants enable them to thrive under difficult circumstances.

Extremophile: An organism that thrives amidst extreme circumstances.

-Daniel thrived amidst the most extreme pressure!

The Church popular is the Church polluted, and the polluted Church is a puny Church. The Church persecuted in the Church pure, and the pure Church is a powerful Church.

All God needs to do His work is in the REMNANT!

How to become hungry for God | Pastor Brent Simpson | Revival Is Now

DO YOU KNOW HOW LITTLE YOU KNOW?

Familiarity breeds comfort.

We need to learn to live on the edge of our incompetence/ ignorance.

WHAT IF THERE IS MORE THAN WE’RE EXPERIENCING? - Have we gotten so accustomed to ordinary that we stopped hungering for the extra-ordinary?

ARE YOU HUNGRY FOR MORE?

Ephesians 3:8-9

Hunger is a sign of health.

1 Peter 2:2-3

In the natural you get hungry by not eating. In the spiritual you get hungry by eating.

Hunger is a sign of spiritual health.

- A healthy Christian will be a hungry Christian!

- When we become satisfied with our spiritual walk and aren’t perusing the Lord, we are unhealthy spiritually.

-Hunger motivates people to move beyond their convenience.

-A Hunger for more is what birthed our Pentecostal movement!

Testimonies feed our faith.

We create our own passions.

2 Corinthians 12:1-4

Comparison kills hunger.

The book of Acts should be the model for expected Christian lifestyle.

This is the only thing that can fix America? | Pastor Brent Simpson | Revival Is Now

1. We live in a time of dry bones.
The Tailbone Christian: Who just sits, and lets everybody else do the ministry in the church.

- The Fingerbone Christian: Who are always pointing their finger at everybody else, not taking responsibility for their own actions. They blame everybody else for the circumstances they find themselves in.

- The Jawbone Christian – Who runs off at the mouth … who puts his mouth into motion before his brain is in gear … who spreads gossip … who intentionally causes trouble by stirring up strife.

- The Hipbone Christian – Who sits on his wallet every Sunday when the offering plate is passed.

- The No Backbone Christian – Who has no convictions … wants to please everyone but Jesus… blends in with the world.
These bones are dry - dead - lifeless.

2. Dry bones are confusing. There is a pattern of revival, and we may just be in it right now.

The pattern of revival:

1)We are in trouble, crisis, or a Holy discontent. “I’m sick of the way things are” – Holy Discontent.

2) People begin to pray.

3) Prayer leads to presence of God.
4) Presence leads to surrender and repentance. (Renewal) Americans struggle to humble themselves and repent/surrender.

5) Surrender and Repentance leads to New Patterns Greater surrender acts as preparation for greater levels of God’s presence.

6) New Patterns leads to groups of people (Remnants) contending for revival.

7) Remnants lead to Revival

8) Revival leads to Awakening.

Crisis can be the gateway to revival.

3. Prophecy is speaking what God is saying, not what we are seeing.

Speaking life over death is a powerful prophetic responsibility.

The church is called to speak to dead things and call them alive.

Arise Church is not a name, it’s a prophetic declaration! Arise Church at Brandon! Arise Church at SouthShore!

4. These are the days of Revival.

What will your role on revival be?

What is the difference between a living and dead church? | Pastor Brent Simpson | Revival Is Now
