Introduction

Why Church Planting?

    1. Is there really any need to evangelize the world?
    2. Morality – who are you to tell me what I can and can’t do?
    3. Complacency – How can we sit idle with the solution, watching a lost world perish?
    4. Church Planting – Gods Great Commission For His Glorious Gathered Christian Community.

Chapter 1

The necessity of constant and consistent revival

    1. Universal church growth is declining – complacency and lack of concern is killing the Missio-Dea of the church!

    3. Revival – A call to reformation and a removal of earthly hindrances of a true heaven sent revival.

Chapter 2

Blurred Vision – Our need for God to refocus our lives and ministries

    1. Without Vision they perish – God give us your vision.
    2. Maturation – Gods process of sanctification, empowerment, activation, and commissioning.
    3. God’s victorious end-time army – God is calling for a spirit lead army to hear and obey His voice.

Chapter 3

God motivators

    1. God is my source – I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
    2. Set your priorities in order with Gods word.

Chapter 5

Assessing the war-zone

    2. Survey – finding the weakness and strengths in your area and using them to advance the kingdom of God.
    3. Spiritual Mapping – unveiling the enemies strategy over your city.

Chapter 6

Rallying the troops

    1. Networking – unity is the greatest offensive weapon of the body of Christ! If only we could all work together.
    2. Allow God to use you to break the dividing walls between people-groups, denominations and sects.
    3. City-Churches – local shepherds united under the Chief Shepherd, Jesus.
    4. Intercession and Identificational Repentance – one of the most powerful important offensive weapons of the church of Jesus Christ.

Chapter 7

Time to Congregate

    1. It’s time to build a Church body – let God build His church.
    2. Outreach – busting out the doors.
    3. Levels of Outreach - targeting your city for Jesus.
    4. Not just converting but multiplying through assimilation.
    5. Church Growth - stability, stagnation and continued-vibrancy.

Chapter 8

Appointing Proper Leadership

    1. Appoint proper New Testament leadership as the Holy Spirit directs.
    2. Deacons - serving and relieving the shepherd from the arduous duties that take away from spiritual headship.
    3. Shepherds networking for accountability - proper alignment of leadership and accountability.
    4. Jesus - the proper focus of New Testament ministry should be upon the cross.
    5. Assimilation – maturation – and fellowship – equals growth.

Chapter 9

Discipleship the key to making world changers and history makers

    1. Mentoring the commission of the church and a powerful key to spiritual growth.
    2. Because of Lack of Knowledge, Vision and Training Gods people perish.
    3. Spiritual "Boot Camp" – one year of intensive training – commit to mentor a New Believe for one year.
    4. Select, matriculate, exemplify, consecrate, impart, demonstrate, activate, delegate, supervise, and watch your ministry multiply.

Chapter 10

True Christianity - Restored Vibrancy

    1. Charisma or institutions - mans way or Gods? I will obey Jesus who shall bring victory through obedience.
    2. Avoiding at all costs complacency - the churches call to continual revival, the restored apostolic paradigm, Revelation 3:15.
    3. God's gifts are eternal – the five fold gifts are irrevocable.
    4. Christ commanded us to be a conduit for Gods power to flow through not a form of religion denying or talking about the power of God.

Chapter 11

The church being the church to the world

    1. Power Religion the New Testament Paradigm - releasing spiritual body ministry - from the body to the body - the Christians way of life.
    2. Incarnational Ministry – Jesus, through His church, by His spirit, to the world.
    3. Continual Local Church based deliverance ministries - the world needs the power we have got to set them free, give it to them, don't keep it for yourself.

Conclusion

The Church Must Be the Church

    1. Transformed Christians transforming society by the "Dunamis" of the Holy Ghost.
    2. You can do it - We can do all things through Jesus who gives us strength by the power of the Holy Ghost.
