Modeling Christ: The Essence of Discipleship

1) "And the thing about prophetic people, they have that, I won't call it advantageous. But they have that grace to have a picture, a clear picture of what Christ looks like. And I always say, and I say so many times, if you call yourself a prophetic person, those that have the Spirit of God, the Spirit of God, the unction of the Holy Ghost in them, and have the ability to see the spiritual world, and those kind of people are not only called to come and tell us about demons, and tell us about the future of people. And there's nothing wrong with that. But prophetic ministry is not limited to that. Because the witch doctors can do that. The Satanists can do that. And people operating in witchcraft can do exactly the same thing. Because they have access to the spiritual world. So the prophetic ministry, according to the Word of God, is primarily, and I believe, is primarily to reveal Christ. Reveal Christ in his nature, in his character, in his purpose, in his destiny."

2) "So through the book of the prophet, experience all the prophecy of the prophet, and the testimony of the apostles, the plan of salvation, the message of the salvation was validated. It was authenticated. It was a true message now that we can believe. And as we believe that, we now become... We now become part of this incredible kingdom called the church. Are you with me? So us as a prophet, based on what we saw in the Old Testament with the prophet in the Bible, is that they have a vision of this Messiah coming. Isaiah had that vision. Ezekiel had that vision. Jonah had that vision. What do you call it? Joel had that vision. Zechariah had that vision. Malachi had that vision. They're whole. The whole. How can I say? The entire book of the prophet was made of this incredible revelation that there's a Messiah coming." [16:28] (60 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


3) "So all these five offices work together. Provide informations and revelations and teachings and experiences that build the life of a believer. So if you don't have all those five offices investing into us, we might grow. But we will not have the full stature that we need as students of God. So now tonight we're just going to focus on the prophets. So the prophet, based on the fact that their gifting and their office is more revelatory. They speak more on revelation. The highest level of all the revelation of a prophet is the fact that they have the revelation of Christ himself. They have this grace to be taken into the spiritual realm and have that revelation of Christ." [18:02] (49 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


4) "So when Moses was in the mountain, we know he got a 10th commandment from the Lord himself. And. But tonight, I'm going to focus more on the temple, you know, the tabernacle that he built. And when he got there, God gave him a blueprint. He gave him a picture of how this tabernacle was going to look like. And God was so specific in it that he even gave him, when you read that, you can read from 31 to 35, Exodus 31 to 35 when you get time. God gave him instruction about. The, the, the, I can say that the measurement of the temple, the material they're going to be used, the furnishing, what they need to be made of. Even the curtain that they need to use is, you know, what the curtain need to be made of. He even gave them the colors of the curtain. God was so specific on everything. Moses needed to build that."

5) "So here we see a mystery being revealed here. Jesus is revealing a mystery, but we don't know the story of Jesus driving out people out of the temple. And when he was doing that, the people were another Jewish asking, who gives you the authority where you've got authority to do this? And he said, destroy this temple. And in three days I will rebuild it. You know, the reply he has taken 46 years to build this temple. And you are. Going to raise it in three days. So what Jesus was talking about here when he say destroy this temple and I rebuild it in three days is not talking about the physical temple that we see that people were looking at, but he's talking about himself where he will be killed. And after three days, he was up from the day. So here we saw Jesus identified a temple as him." [30:30] (51 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


6) "So the same way Moses and those builders have the spirit of the, they have the revelation and the grace to build, to build that temple who watch, who was a symbol, a shadow, a representation, a representation of Christ, the same way the apostles and the prophet and all the other offices play a role in building Christ in our life as believers. So as a prophetic person, your role is not to go. And tell people is not limited to just tell people their future and the good thing that are going to happen in their lives. But as a prophetic person, your mission is to build Christ into the life of the people. And for you to accurately build Christ into the life of the people, you need that experience of Christ himself." [32:58] (53 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


7) "And the beauty of that experience is what he have seen the glory of the Lord. He have seen the revelation of the Lord. He have seen the plan of relation from his people. So when he was speaking, he was not just speaking as somebody who have received word because the beauty of a revelation is this. When you receive a revelation of the Lord, there is an amount of it, not just anointing. But of light that is releasing to you. You know what the Bible says? You shall know the truth and the truth has set you free. What is he saying? In other words, you shall know the word. You shall know the will of God. You shall have the true revelation of the father, the true revelation of Christ that will set you free. Not just for the sake of going free or of staying free. But as he set you free. As you release that word to the people. The same power that came into you and set you free. The light that came." [36:43] (55 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


8) "So what you call familiar spirit. But what differentiate prophetic people that are full of the Holy Ghost is the fact that they have a revelation of Christ. They have a spiritual revelation of Christ that gives them that advantage. And when they speak, the power that back up that revelation is releasing to people's life. And that's how they build Christ, you know, in the life of the believers. As a prophetic person in these last days. Your role is to build Christ in people's life, not just telling them about a future thing they're going to have. There's nothing wrong with that, but if there's no building of Christ in people's life, your prophetic ministry validation is in question. What validates you is the fact that you have the spirit, you have a revelation of Christ that you receive through the Holy Spirit." [38:46] (61 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


9) "And whatever he's revealed anyway is always confirmed by the word. The character of Christ that he revealed to you can never go against the word. That's why it becomes a rhema word, something that you didn't just read about it, you didn't just learn about it, but you experience it in the spiritual realm. And as a prophetic person, when you speak, oh my goodness, you speak as someone that knows. So you cannot model it if you don't have a revelation of it. You cannot build it. You cannot help in the edification of the believers as a prophetic. If you haven't had the revelation of Jesus. Oh my goodness." [40:59] (35 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
