-Witness To Anyone In The World Through The 7 Mysteries Revealed By Paul To The Church-
(I Cor. 4:1)
There is a reason why God’s Word tells us to be stewards of the mysteries of God. These mysteries were revealed by the Apostle to the Gentiles – Paul. His writings – Romans through II Thessalonians -- are the doctrinal writings for the church. God knew that… that’s why he revealed them to the church through Paul. This ministry tool is called a “mystery” because it was unknown to the writers of the Old Testament. It wasn’t until Israel rejected their Messiah that these “mysteries” (of the church age) were revealed to Paul, and subsequently to us through his inspired writings. These “mysteries” are what sets us apart from all religions/faiths on the face of the earth. The relevant usage of these “mysteries” is vital for consistent success in our relativistic culture today. They create a difference between Christianity and other faiths so that we can direct them to the truth. I use them to witness to Catholics, Gnostics, Jehovah’s Witness, Mormons, Church of Christ and many more. It is very useful in letting people see the difference between Christianity and what it is they believe.

-The Believer’s Identity Crises (Temet Nosce)-
John 1:12
This workshop will explain, from the Bible, what it really means to be a son of God. There have only been four “sons of God” in the entire Bible, and we will look at: how each began, the responsibility given, the result of their actions and how that ultimately reveals the purpose of every believer in Jesus Christ. If we don’t know WHO we are, then we can’t be expected t know the WHAT of our purpose, or HOW to specifically fulfill that purpose. God has a plan for you to accomplish exactly WHERE you are right now. If we don’t know WHY we do what we do… how are we going to increase the kingdom of God in a powerful way (Matt. 28:18-20). At the end the recipients will have a clear understanding as to why God has placed them on this earth. There is no need for a crises of identity!

-Qualities of a spiritual warrior-
How can we produce men and women who can make a consistent difference in the life of another upon this planet? A good place to begin is to detail the integrity of a man in the Bible named Nehemiah. Nehemiah was a man who trusted God to accomplish the impossible in 52 days. He was broken hearted when he looked upon the condition of his people. They were being taken advantage of by their own people, were depressed and had no walls for safety and security. God moved on Nehemiah’s heart to build the walls upon the foundation that had been laid by Ezra. He was blessed with a burden, as I have been blessed with a burden to equip God’s people for relevant ministry to their worlds. The character of Nehemiah is amazing, and we would do well to emulate his life if we desire to accomplish great things for God. The “Qualities of a spiritual warrior” is a needed 1st step for anyone who ventures out into the spiritual warfare today!

-Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth-
The secret history of man
II Timothy 2:15
I Corinthians 9:17 tells us that we have been given “a dispensation” of the gospel has been committed to us. What does that mean anyhow… “a dispensation of the gospel?” It correlates with what God explains to us in II Timothy 2:15 in that we are to study the Bible as we “rightly divide” the Word of truth. That leads to another question: What is it that we are to rightly divide in order to arrive at truth?
God has a plan for the history of man as it is unfolding. He has been progressively revealing truth through each dispensation (stewardship) of time. It is important to know the difference, when you study the Bible, as to whom God is talking TO (devotional application) and whom He is talking ABOUT (the doctrinal application). When one understands that… then one can begin to get a handle on how to rightly divide the Word of truth. God has dealt with man differently in each period of time (dispensation) as He was progressively revealing truth to them. This was totally necessary; not every age of man has possessed the completed Bible as we have been blessed to posses today; hence… rightly dividing the Word of truth. It takes study to know the Bible; there are no shortcuts. It is work, and it takes the instruction of the Holy Spirit to arrive at truth.

-Understanding the Unseen Realm-
Supernatural influence comes by way of oppression, obsession and possession. This study will give you information as to how you can “try the spirits,” according to I John 4:1, to “see if they be of God”. We will give you specific Biblical examples of how “fallen” spirits work, and tools you can use to strengthen your spiritual armor (Eph. 6). We should never be preoccupied with demons or fallen Angles, but we should know how to protect ourselves by knowing how our enemy works in the world today. We will use Genesis three as our basis for discussion.

-Witness through the Zodiac, or as the Bible calls it… the Mazzaroth-
In ancient times the truth of the Zodiac was well documented, but somewhere along the way the nations lost the original meaning of the “star pictures,” and replaced them with their own interpretations. Such is the case in Greek mythology. The Greek forms of mythology are a corruption of that which was true from the beginning. To whet your appetite to study the Zodiac further – we are going to look at the story told in the stars (Ex. 20:11) – starting with Virgo (the Virgin woman bearing seed). The following details of the Zodiac, provided by Bullinger in his book, Witness of the Stars, is an amazing look at the extent of God’s love toward us. God went to incredible lengths to reveal to us the scope of His plan for redemption. Satan has also been a busy little bee as he has tried to “scare” us away from the truth that is revealed in the heavens – starting with the Babylonians and perpetuated further by the Greeks. He (Satan) has succeeded in turning the truth of the Mazzaroth into something evil and mystical – when it was actually made by God, is beautiful, and can be a powerful witnessing tool to the Glory of God.

-Historical Fingerprints of the Biblical Text-
[Is the Bible Accurate?]
Can the Bible be trusted? Is the Bible accurate in its translation? What happened when the Bible was originally transmitted, and how was it protected over time? When versions of the Bible disagree, is there a way to arrive at truth? What about translating the Bible into languages other than English? These are very good questions; questions that are answered in the study provided by the ministry of V2T: Historical Fingerprints of the Biblical Text. The Bible is 100% accurate today, and its preserved origins can be traced. I invite you to explore the history behind the Bible, and the hand of God that has protected it through time. When you finish this study you will have the information you need to make a practical decision about the accuracy and authenticity of the Bible. One of the latest surveys shows us that only 13% of Christendom believes the Bible is totally accurate; it is a needed study. The Bible tells us that “these things are written that ye man KNOW.”

-Secrets of Tomorrowland-
Follow five friends through the chaotic world leading up to the rapture of the Church. One will be taken from the group, while the others must live through the horrors of the seven years of God’s wrath that will grip the earth. God is preparing His people, the nation of Israel, for His return and Maverick, Bekka, Andrea, and Tristan must make some life-altering decisions before it is too late. I use a fictional story to reveal God’s timeline as to how the future, from a Biblical perspective, will play out. One of the greatest tools for witnessing to the lost is prophecy. You will be given an accurate timeline as to the order of future events (eschatology). We live in an exciting time; those who know how to use their “swords” (the Bible) will be successful in reaching the lost for the eternal kingdom of God.

-The Secrets of the Bema Seat of Christ… What to Expect at the Final Judgment for Believers-
According to II Corinthians 5, every believer from the ascension of Christ until the rapture will give an account for their lives while on the earth by using, according to the Bible, the elements of gold, silver, precious stone, wood, hay and stubble. These elements, which Biblically represent our purpose, will be judged by the fire of Christ’s eyes. Our eternal security is not what is at stake, only our inheritance. Will your “good works” be judged by Christ to be wood, hay and stubble that are burned up in His presence? Or will they be gold, silver and precious stones that are made pure as they meet the judgment of Christ’s fiery eyes. We would be wise to know, in advance, what will be expected of us at this most important time in the eternity of every believer in Christ. The elements of the judgment seat of Christ, and the five crowns that will be rewarded, define our purpose while on this earth in flesh and blood bodies. God loves us so much that He leaves no stone unturned; He wants you to be ready for this event.

-The 4 Goals of Biblical Modeling-
As one looks through the Pauline Epistles (doctrine for the church age believer), it becomes clear that there are four basic goals to develop a disciple. It is also vital to realize that there is a distinct beginning and ending to developing a disciple; although spiritual growth never stops. A disciple is one who has learned to “put his hand to the plow and not turn back,” and keeps short accounts with God. Each of the 16 lessons in our MI (Modeling One) series is designed to mature a person through the 4 goals of Biblical discipleship; it is specific in its application. It gives them a solid foundation from which to build the rest of their lives on ministry. When the four goals of discipleship are met, the disciple will be equipped to REAP consistently in their worlds of influence. By REAP I mean:
R – each others for Christ, E – stablish them in the Word of God, A – pply the Bible to their lives on a daily basis and, P – roduce another like them as they are like Christ.
This is where your disciple learns to grow through the 7 stages of spiritual growth. You, their mentor, have been there and done that, and are more than able to lead them through the process of spiritual growth.

-The 7 Stages of Spiritual Growth-
(II Peter 1:1-8)
The Bible gives us seven stages of spiritual growth by using human growth patterns, the life of Paul and Timothy, and the nation of Israel as types. Each of these stages has specific characteristics, and they must be progressed in order for consistent spiritual growth to happen. We can’t apply the principles of a spiritual “father” (stage 5) until we progress through the first 4 stages first. Otherwise, we would become third world Christians; we would be “birthing” babies for which we could not care. The goal is to become and “elder” (stage 6) who can lead others to maturity because they have “been there and done that.” The ultimate goal of every believer is to develop a revolutionary vision to reach the world for Christ. It is at this stage we become a spiritual “aged” person mentioned in the Bible. It gives an incredible amount of confidence when one knows where they fit in the growth process. It gives a specific goal to accomplish in the area of spiritual growth; it is not confusing.

-Sharpening Your Sword-
Keys that Unlock the Bible
Isaiah 22:22
Have you ever wondered why people can’t agree on doctrinal truth? Well, it is because Satan is hiding the keys God left in His preserved Word. He is causing confusion as to what comprises truth. How has Lucifer accomplished this feat? God’s word tells us that the word of God is to be held above the name of the Lord. Why is this? It is because if you can change the word(s) of God, then you can change who Jesus is and the true identity of Satan can be hidden in the process. Both have been accomplished.
I would like to invite you to take part in my weekend “workshop” that reveals 16 keys that are smack-dab in the middle of the Bible. The Bible will come alive as never before when you are brought into contact with the keys that unlock truth. The amazing aspect of all this is that the keys have been there all along. It is truth hiding in plain sight.
