MINISTRIES

DAY 4

EXPANSION OF CHURCHES AND MINISTRIES

Isa 54:2 "Enlarge the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; do not hold back; lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes.

Isa 54:3 For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left, and your offspring will possess the nations and will people the desolate cities.

EXPANSION is God’s willExpansion is seen in the original plan of God for mankind

Gen 1:26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

Expansion is Dominion

Dominion is God’s original plan for Mankind

Expansion hindered by the devil from the beginning.

The devil took expansion on earth

The devil hindered Israel

Israel tried to fulfill Expansion but failed due to unbelief that the nations around him will be saved.

Instead Israel as a nation focused on itself and started to fight itself and destroy itself.

The Small Group of Jesus grew

Jesus on the cross, restored this original plan of expansion.

In Jerusalem , 120 disciples gathered to wait for the Holy Spirit to be empowered for this expansion plan . The Holy Spirit came in power and 3,000 people saved .

Jesus wins, the devil failed The Trinity God Head, GOD

THE FATHER watches in victory, JESUS seated in heaven, HOLY SPIRIT NOW on earth directing THE CHURCH on expansion of God’s dominion here on earth as it is in heaven.

Expansion made possible through the work of Christ

The Church declares the Kingdom of God is HERE History records and

confirms that the believers went from Jerusalem to Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth according to the Word of the Lord in Acts 1:8

Church expanding throughout History General Titus 70 AD marched in

Jerusalem and burned it but the believers according to Eusebius through prophetic warning fled to Pella.

10 Roman emperors persecuted the church but the church grew in numbers and spread even more

The blood of the Martyrs became the seed of the Gospel

The move of the Holy Spirit is UNSTOPPABLE !

Expansion of the WORD OF GOD Bible translation was made in

massive numbers. Eusebius, bishop of Caesarea,

church historian, became Constantine’s chief religious adviser to produce 50 bibles.

Later 397 AD Council of Carthage ratified the 27 books of New Testament.

The Moving Direction of the Holy Spirit in history From Israel to Europe, to Great

Britain, to America, now to Asia
