Building Heaven on Earth
The essence of the apostolic heart: a yearning for heaven on earth, a desire to build communities vibrant with intercession, prayer, and Spirit-led worship.
A Blueprint for the House of God
Jesus himself declared,
“My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.”
The apostolic heart understands this profound truth.
When a community operates under this true mantle, we witness a transformation. Intercession, fervent prayer, and worship guided by the Holy Spirit become the model and blueprint for the entire House of God.
Every decision, every action, every utterance is bathed in the pursuit of His will.
The Holy Spirit, is guiding the building and development of our communities.
Sound a clarion call for its revival.
I pray that every preacher, every believer, in every corner of the world, may be baptized in the Holy Spirit.
Let us open our hearts to the apostolic fire.
Let us cast aside fear and embrace the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. Let us build communities where prayer ascends like smoke, where worship resounds like thunder, and where the Lord’s presence reigns supreme.
Together, let us create heaven on earth, one fervent prayer, one Spirit-led step at a time.
May the fire of the apostolic heart blaze within us, illuminating the path for generations to come.
“The greatest need of the hour is not more machinery, not more wealth, not more talent, but more of the presence of God in the hearts of His people.” – A.W. Tozer
Step back in time, to a season of revival in a land far away.
Let us journey to China, to a city buzzing with anticipation, where the words of Pastor Ding resonated like a clarion call, drawing crowds to a church overflowing with hope.
At the heart of this awakening stood a man called Pastor Ding, a preacher whose charisma and skill resonated not only with outsiders, but also with the very members of his own church.
He possessed a rare gift – the ability to speak to the yearnings of both the uninitiated and the seasoned believer, his sermons a bridge between hearts seeking God.
On a mission, dispatching a band of thirty workers through the city streets.
They carried my own card, a symbol of trust and invitation, accompanied by printed flyers promising a gathering unlike any other.
We called it the Yen-shuo-hui, yet beneath the familiar name beat the pulse of a distinctively divine service.
Within the church walls, a symphony of devotion unfolded. Hymns soared, prayers ascended, and the scriptures whispered tales of grace.
But at the heart of it all, standing tall and unwavering, was the cross. The very essence of our faith, the sacrifice that transcended time and space, became the cornerstone of every gathering.
Among the many messages etched in memory, two stand out like beacons of light.
One, a sermon titled “The Love of Christ Constraining,” pierced through indifference and ignited the embers of faith within.
Another, titled “My Peace I Leave with You,” resonated even in the soul of the Manchu chief magistrate, who sat beside me that day, captured by the promise of divine tranquillity.
Pastor Ding’s ministry became a testament to the transformative power of God’s word. It transcended boundaries, bridging not only cultural divides but also the walls that separate the seeker from the found.
He reminded us that within each of us resides the potential for a Yen-shuo-hui, a personal revolution sparked by the divine flame of faith.
Let us go forth, not just as church members, but as apostles of hope, carrying the invitation of peace and love to every corner of our world.
May Pastor Ding’s legacy inspire us to build bridges, not walls; to open hearts, not minds; and to embrace the transformative power of faith, both within ourselves and in the world around us.
For in the end, it was the message of the cross that holds the promise of lasting change, of heaven on earth, and of a future bathed in the glorious light of God’s love.
