Breaking Through the Limits

I am so excited about what God has planned for those who love Him.

Religion has made a mockery of the Kingdom however; those who are really advancing God\’s Kingdom have a different mind set. In the old paradigm where the pastor reigned as the “big cheese\’ is over.

Dr. Ann L. Hardman

God\’s Kingdom is
advancing and reaching into the highways and the hedges to claim a
harvest of souls. The ones that God is sending us after are not the
“Amazing Grace\’, “three points and a poem\’ crowd. These are the ones
that have been written off by society as unable to be saved! These are
the ones who are anxiously waiting for the sons of God to manifest!

The mandate given to me by God is much bigger than I am. On this assignment, it is very important for each joint to supply. God is sending us into enemy held territory and He expects us not to only be fishers of men, but repairers of the breach. Isaiah 58:12, says, And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. Look out world, “here comes that breach!\’ The prophet Isaiah refers to the realities of life in the restored communities of Israel. There were huge problems to be addressed. Instead of focusing on strict observances to repair lives that were broken in exile, Isaiah was reminding God\’s people of their need to be involved in social concerns as well to put kindness and justice for others in the forefront of their activity. Why? Because Isaiah knew that one\’s relationship to others reveals one\’s relationship to God.

God\’s people were preserved and blessed to be a blessing. They had a role to play in repairing the breach in their divided nation, and in rebuilding a community that would bring glory and honor to God. We, too, are called to be repairers of the breach, to be Kingdom people whose mission is to impact nations and generations with a message and a pattern that will take us and others to a higher dimension of life in God.

The lost have exhausted all their options and that there is no real hope unless God intervenes and His sons manifest. It is our Kingdom assignment to call the people to new hope and to have faith that “the unthinkable” could happen. The unthinkable in our age is to transform a violent God-less community into God-fearing community.

I am not talking about church, I am talking about making an impact on our community, repairing the breach between the baby boomer generation and the so called “Lost\’, “X\’, “Hip-Hop\’ generation. That the breach is characterized by a generation of children who are often forced to raise themselves because of fathers who have abandoned them and mothers on crack who have forgotten them.

The breach occurred because of a generation of young people are growing up without adults who are willing to love them and teach them right from wrong. This breach occured because they are a generation who do not know their God. The streets are not fit to dwell in because we have a generation of angry, cold-blooded young people growing up without meaning, hope or love. Those are the ones that we are going after.

In order to advance the Kingdom and win them to the Lord, we must truly have the heart of God. Like John the Baptist, we are called to be way preparers. I invite each one of you to do whatever God is calling you to do. Together we can build up the highways and remove the stones. The Word of God says, I am bringing my righteous near, it is not far away; and my salvation will not be delayed (Isaiah 46:13a). Let\’s join together in faith, prayer, and deeds to participate in God\’s end time plans for our community. Together we can make a difference.
