As we consider the anointing for mobilizing, we must also understand how this applies to numbers. John the Baptist had an anointing to call and prepare all of Judea for the Lord. However, most do not start with such an ability to call great numbers. It is likely that John’s ministry was not that popular at first either. Usually we must learn to be faithful in the little before we are given greater authority.

The largest churches, ministries, and movements in the world all began with about a dozen people gathering together, most of the time for prayer. If...

The theme this year is the army of God “mobilizing.” There is an anointing for mobilizing that we need to understand—the anointing to draw people together for a cause. This can be from the Lord or from the devil. For example, Hitler had an extraordinary anointing from the devil to mobilize people. The people who followed him included some of the most brilliant, who repeatedly commented to others how they did not understand his command over them, but when they were in his presence all doubts faded and they just submitted to him. When he spoke to multitudes, his content...

The normal state of Christianity is to be persecuted, and true Christianity and true Christians tend to make the greatest advances during times of persecution. However, what has been happening in the U.S. and Europe represents a dramatic loss of influence on the part of Christianity and the belittling and shaming of the gospel. This also computes to the growing lawlessness that is dragging an increasing number of souls into damnation.

One of the best and most unique characteristics about the army of God is that every private can have a close, personal relationship with the Commander-in-Chief. In fact, any private can become His very best friend. He will even share with the lowest private His ultimate strategies and plans, but even better than that, even the lowest private can come boldly into His very throne room at any time and be most welcome!

That really is one of the best parts about being in God’s army. However, there is even more! There is a comradeship in the army of God...

A popular saying has been “Get a life!” This is typically used as a rebuke to those who are so trapped in the mundane that the insignificant is significant to them. We want this series to help all believers live lives of significance and leave a trail of significant accomplishments. To use biblical terms, it is fulfilling the Lord’s command to bear fruit, and fruit that remains (see John 15:16).

First, if your life is boring, you are definitely not in the right place. There is nothing more interesting than God and getting close to Him. There is no...
