Free Gift – 7 Mountains Video

Posted by | Arts, Bible Study, Destiny, Devotions, Discipleship, Media & Entertainment, Missions, Training, Worship & the Arts | No Comments
I have been teaching about the 7 Mountains of Influence for 30 years. This is the revelation that the Lord showed YWAM Co-Founder Loren Cunningham many years before I ever heard of it. In 1975, Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade and Loren Cunningham, developed a God-given, world-changing strategy. This is what Loren said about the revelation:
“It was August, 1975. My family and I were up in a little cabin in Colorado. And the Lord had given me that day a list of things I had never thought about before. He said “This is the way to reach America and nations for God.And {He said}, “You have to see them like classrooms or like places that were already there, and go into them with those who are already working in those areas.” And I call them “mind-molders” or “spheres”. I got the word “spheres” from II Corinthians 10 where Paul speaks in the New American Standard about the “spheres” he had been called into. And with these spheres there were seven of them.”
 
“A little later that day, the ranger came up, and he said, “There is a phone call for you back at the ranger’s station.” So I went back down, about 7 miles, and took the call. It was a mutual friend who said, “Bill Bright and Vonnette are in Colorado at the same time as you are. Would you and Darlene come over and meet with them? They would love to meet with you.” So we flew over to Boulder on a private plane of a friend of ours. And as we came in and greeted each other, {we were friends for quite a while}, and I was reaching for my yellow paper that I had written on the day before. And he said, “Loren, I want to show you what God has shown me!” And it was virtually the same list that God had given me the day before. Three weeks later, my wife Darlene had seen Dr. Francis Shaffer on TV and he had the same list! And so I realized that this was for the body of Christ.”
Loren and Bill began to develop strategies for their ministries with a mandate to bring Godly change to a nation by reaching its seven spheres, or mountains, of societal influence. They concluded that in order to truly transform any nation with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, these seven facets of society must be reached. Part of that strategy, for YWAM, was to organize The University of the Nations by Colleges that would each focus on one of the 7 mountains.
Each of us has a calling on our lives from God to at least one of the 7 mountains. The Lord showed me the names of the 7 Mountains of Influence in our culture using a couple of different names than Loren originally saw. These are the ones the Lord gave me, in alphabetical order. A – G, and the original names that God gave Loren, in parenthesis, if they are different. I love that the Lord showed me these in alphabetical order, because it helps me to remember them!
A – Arts and Entertainment (Celebration – Arts, Entertainment, and Sports)
B – Business (Economics – Business, Science, and Technology)
C – Church (Religion)
D – Distribution of information (Media)
E – Education
F – Family
G – Government
Many of you are called to the mountain of Arts and Entertainment, or Media. But, if you are not sure where you are called, I encourage you to pray and ask the Lord to show you which Mountain of Culture He has called you to.
In addition, our FREE GIFT this month, is access to Loren Cunningham’s 2012 teaching on the 7 Mountains titled “Seven Spheres of Influence.” on the YWAM Podcast Network.  There are both audio and video options on the link below.
Know that we love you, we believe in you, and we are praying for you!
Enjoy the videos & I hope you all have a great day!

Focus

Posted by | Destiny, Devotions | No Comments
 Jesus declared, 
“ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart 
and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 
This is the first and greatest commandment. 
And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:37-40 BSB

 

I am very committed to helping people discover their destiny and teaching them how to put together plans on how to fulfill what God has called them to do. That can cause me to get very focused on projects and tasks on a timeline.

 

Recently, I got a reminder of how much our focus can change in just a few days. When someone you love is very sick, things that you thought were important, suddenly do not matter – at all. Projects and tasks that seemed urgent, no longer are even on your calendar.

Life is all about love. It’s all about relationships. It’s all about God, and family, and friends. It’s not about all the other stuff that so often distracts us from our real calling – to love God and love others.

I pray that you will take time today to focus on the things that are the most important. Loving God and loving others.

Know that we love you, we believe in you, and we are praying for you!
Jesus said the greatest commandments were first, to love God and second, to love others as ourselves. Remember to love God, yourself, and others this year!

Hope for the future

Posted by | Devotions | No Comments

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

In my prayer time, I always asked God what He wants me to share with you. I felt that today He once again said, “Tell them that I love them.”
I asked Him what else He wanted me to share, and I felt like He said, “Remind them that I am in control, and that I have good things planned for their lives. My people can have hope and trust me for a GOOD FUTURE. I am faithful.”

Simple, yet very important and impacting words. So, today, remember that you are loved by the Creator of the Universe! He has GOOD things planned for you and you can trust Him! I am excited about the future that God has planned. The days of glory that are ahead will be truly spectacular!

I pray you have a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!
We’ll talk again next quarter!
Know that we love you, we believe in you, and we are praying for you!

Lifeline

Posted by | Arts, Bible Study, Destiny, Devotions, Discipleship, Worship & the Arts | No Comments

Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven. For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.” Matthew 18:19-20 BSB

Recently I was talking to a good friend about the monthly prayer meeting I attend with like minded prophetic warriors. I was sharing with her how the monthly gathering was a lifeline to me during this season. Having fellow Christians, who you can feel safe with, and who you can ‘flow’ with in the Spirit is a key to staying refreshed, and full of hope during these times. Being able to fully be “you” as you worship God is life giving. 

I want to challenge you, to find you a prayer and worship group that you can connect with, as you connect to God. Reach out to others, who you consider your “tribe” and see if there is a small gathering of like minded believers where you can join together with to pray and worship. If there isn’t one in your area, I want to challenge you to start the small group. It doesn’t have to be big to be powerful. The key is being in unity.

Know that we love you, we believe in you, and we are praying for you!
Worship God together in Unity and see Him move on your behalf this month! Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity! Psalm 133:1 ESV

Clear the cache…

Posted by | Devotions, Discipleship | No Comments

“Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun set upon your anger, and do not give the devil a foothold. Ephesians 4:26 -27 (BSB)

 

 

Recently, I met a friend for brunch. We had not seen each other for over a year, so I was really looking forward to getting together and catching up. She and her husband have been together now for over 20 years. Through the years, she has shared with me many of the difficulties in her marriage. The first 10 years of her marriage were full of x-wife interference, and ongoing trials with a troubled step son who had many issues. She shared how, after so many years of turmoil, she and her husband had a brief separation last fall.

While separated, God showed her that she was allowing all the built up anger and resentment from the first 10 years to carry over to this 10 years. He told her she needed to, “Clear the cache.” She needed to let all that turmoil and trauma go. She needed to stop sharing about it, stop talking about it, stop dwelling on it, and stop allowing it to be the plot line of her story. She did. Now, they are back together, and working on their relationship.
On your computer, ‘clearing your cache’ means that all the temporary files that your browser has downloaded are deleted – it gives you a “clean slate,” and forces your web browser to re-download current versions of all the files for that website. When we “Clear the cache,” in a relationship, it too, gives us a clean slate. We can then build the relationship on the current version of the other person. It allows us to get rid of our old baggage and move on together to the relationship that God has planned for us.
Her story reminded me of the scripture verse above. The New Living Translation states it this way: 26) And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27) for anger gives a foothold to the devil. Ephesians 4:26 -27
When we hold on to anger against someone, it gives the devil a foothold in our lives, as well as in that relationship.
I want to encourage you to do what the Lord is reminding us to do: ’clear the cache’ every day!
Know that we love you, we believe in you, and we are praying for you!

Just like that

Posted by | Destiny, Devotions | No Comments
…do not fear, for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God. 
I will strengthen you and uphold you with my righteous right hand. 
Isaiah 41:10

By now, many of you have heard of the tragic bus accident in Tanzania on Feb 24th that took the lives of eleven key YWAM leaders. Eight others were taken to the hospital.  “Just like that,” they were gone.

Two of those killed were the base director and the training director of YWAM Arusha. The incident, involving multiple vehicles, also claimed the lives of several others, including the bus driver. By last reports two key mission leaders still remain in critical condition.

Darlene Cunningham, co-founder of YWAM, shared some of the details:

Those in the accident were all participants in the “Executive Masters in Leadership” course, based at YWAM Arusha, Tanzania. They took a field trip in two buses to Maasai land, where they observed YWAM’s thriving community development program. They had a very good day together. On the return trip to Arusha, a truck that had lost its brakes, smashed into our 2nd bus, literally crushing it from top to bottom. Eleven of our beloved friends were killed, and eight others are severely wounded, and are battling for their lives. We have not seen a tragedy of this magnitude in all of YWAM’s history and we are all devastated.

“Just like that,” they were gone.

Not only have husbands and wives, friends and co-workers been lost, but also YWAM ministry leaders. Their deaths create a massive vacuum in that part of the world for YWAM as a missionary movement. Please pray – for those who are in the hospital still struggling for their lives; for the families and friends of the deceased; for those traumatized by this event – and for the future of YWAM in Africa!

Darlene encouraged us to take hold of the truths of God, as we mourn this profound loss:

  • Hang onto the fact that, no matter what, we know that God is just and kind in all His ways (Ps 145:17).
  • Remind yourself of Job 42:2. Job had lost everything and his response was “I know that You can do all things and that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.” Let’s hang onto that word!
  • Remind yourself of Isaiah 41:10: “…do not fear, for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
  • Remind yourself of the word over and over, especially the Psalms, where God promises us that He will protect us with His strong right arm and keep us from falling.

She added, “I like to think of Loren being there at the gates of heaven to greet and welcome these eleven beloved YWAM’ers! Our hearts rejoice knowing that they are rejoicing to be with Jesus, while at the same time, we weep for the loss of their presence among us.”

We are grieving our YWAM family that recently died in that tragic accident.

I want to encourage you today, to love those around you with all your heart. Forgive quickly. Let go of any issues that you have between you. Laugh with them today, and enjoy their company. Praise God for them. Pray for them. Love well. We never know when, “just like that,” they will be gone.

Know that we love you, we believe in you, and we are praying for you!

Sing a new song

Posted by | Arts, Destiny, Devotions, Discipleship, Worship & the Arts | No Comments
Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth. 
Psalm 96:1 NIV
 
Sing a new song to the LORD! Sing His praises from the ends of the earth! Sing, all you who sail the seas, all you who live in distant coastlands. Isaiah 42:10 NLT
 
And they sang a new song: “Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals, because You were slain, and by Your blood You purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. Revelation 5:9
Many of you have mentioned that you are interested in music, worship, & songwriting. I’ve taught many songwriting classes and written hundreds of songs over the years. But lately the Lord has been challenging me to sing a new song to Him every day. Songs that I don’t write down, and record, but songs that are just for Him.
Even if your creative focus is not music, I want to challenge you to do the same. I challenge you to sing a new song to the Lord today. It doesn’t have to be one you write down, or record – but you certainly can if you want to. There are many scriptures that command us to sing a new song to the Lord. So, today, let’s be obedient. Let God put a new song in your mouth today!
He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the LORD and put their trust in Him. Psalm 40:3  NIV
If you are a musician, play a new song skillfully – If you’re not a musician, play a new song loud or shout for joy!
Sing unto Him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise. Psalm 33:3 KJV
Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy. Psalm 33:3 NKJV
 
Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth; break forth–
let your cry ring out, and sing praises! Psalm 98:4
I will sing to You a new song, O God; on a harp of ten strings I will make music to You— Psalm 144:9 Berean Study Bible 
Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, His praise in the assembly of the godly! Psalm 149:1 ESV 
I want to challenge you to sing a new song to the Lord today – and every day this week. You can start by singing a new song to Him right now! And if you do write down and record the song, and you want to share it with us, email me here and I’ll share it with our other Superstars at YWAMHollywood.com
Know that we love you, we believe in you, and we are praying for you!
