Training Days


The Lord says in his word, " train up a child in the way he should go:and when he is old, he will not depart from it".(Proverbs 22:6.) Train means to teach, bring up, or to rear. Teach means to help learn. Rear means to make or help to grow! Because we are God's children his perfect will for us is that we allow him to teach and train us in his ways. We are to learn of him, and apply in deed the things we have been taught.We are in training by the King of Kings to be an eternal king in his kingdom. This type of training requires us to do things we don't know how or don't even want to do! We are taught in the natural world a number of subjects through formal education because when we are done it means that we are trainable. We then go to work for someone who trains us to do or be whatever they need to reach their natural goals. God is supernatural! The things that we learn from him are supernatural! The training we are involved in is supernatural and eternal! We seek, ask, and knock to learn of him, not just to obtain facts and things. " Seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." (Matthew 6:33.) Therefore our training days focus on God, his kingdom, and his righteousness. We are trained in the ways of heaven that when they are applied heaven comes to earth. Any place heaven comes to earth, is a place where satin can no longer inhabit. He must move out! This is why God trains us his way. He had satin removed from heaven, therefore he can train us how to remove him from every area of our life forever! So embrace your training days, that the power of the living God may flow through you and into the earth in this season! It's your time! Be trained and live life well!

FIVE DIMENSIONS OF GOD'S GRACE


The divine favor and love of God is called grace. I believe that it is by God's divine grace that we as children of God receive the power to fulfill his will. Just as a fish is at home in the sea, or a bird at home in the sky, so are we at home in God's grace. Grace is the environment in which we will reach our maximum potential. Outside of his grace we are like a fish out of water, we have no chance of survival! The space in our natural house is divided into different areas called rooms. The name of each room is determined by its function.(Bed room, bath room, living room etc.) Each room is a dimension which contains certain tools used to set a specific environment. In these environments we maintain and progress our lives. God's grace is our dwelling place.His grace is the place were we obtain, maintain, and progress in true God life. I believe that there are five dimensions to this home called God's grace. They are as follows:


FIVE DIMENSIONS OF GRACE

SALVATION: JESUS said he is the LIGHT of the world. When you say yes to the Kingdom of GOD he gives that light to you as a gift. (Sing songs of deliverance and salvation.)


DISCIPLESHIP: Thru the power of the word and prayer you begin to learn of CHRIST. By the power of the HOLY SPIRIT you take on CHRIST’S nature and character. (Sing songs of war and admiration.)


PURPOSE: Abiding in CHRIST leads to the place of knowing that your life has purpose. You have chosen to loose your life that your true purpose in the Kingdom of GOD may be found. The HOLY SPIRIT begins to reveal more details of GOD’S plan for your life. Your purpose becomes clear. (Sing songs of submission and obedience.)


SONSHIP: You are lead by the HOLY SPIRIT. You obey every word of GOD as it pertains to your life and the body of CHRIST. You are daily walking in your Kingdom purpose. You have chosen the fullness of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Sing songs of worship.)


ETERNAL GLORY: You are now living in the eternal dimension were the gift of light that you received at salvation is now in you, on you, and around you. The eternal plan of GOD consumes your life. You are walking in all that GOD has for you. The glory that GOD has given is now fully revealed. (Sing songs of praise, power, worship, and glory.)

I believe that these are progressive dimensions. The more we seek God with a pure heart, the more the dimensions of grace are revealed. Destiny is fulfilled. So children of God, allow the Spirit of God to train you in how to flow in these five dimensions of his grace that we all reach our full potential in him. This is my prayer. Its your time, live it well!

EDITORS CORNER


THE NAVIGATOR

Destiny, the gifts and callings of God, predestination and purpose, they all have a peculiar way of lining up with God's will. I believe that this newsletter is one of those things that has a preordained purpose in the ministry of One Accord at this time. I do not say this because of the part I play in it's conception, but because of a firm word from the Lord. I feel that this newsletter has an eternal purpose in this ministry because everything of the Spirit always has an eternal purpose. I saw this newsletter first as a boat in international waters sailing near the waters of Panama. The Holy Spirit told me what each part of the boat symbolized. The boat itself is the tabernacle of the Lord. The sails of the boat are in the form of The Holy Spirit dove. The mast to which the sails are attached is the cross of Jesus Christ. The flags at the top of the mast represent the pastors of One Accord Ministries International as they fly by the wind of the Spirit, moving as the Holy Spirit directs their coarse. It is titled "The Navigator" because the Holy Spirit is the authority leading this newsletter from conception to the end of its eternal purpose. This newsletter has an assignment to reach the lost, renew hearts and minds , restore families, and bring the word of salvation and peace to all that experience its pages. It is anointed to carry the Gospel of Jesus Christ to uncharted hearts and minds. This will be accomplished because the Holy Spirit is the navigator. We give glory to God for its conception and for the lives that will be transformed forever by its words. We send this letter out with great expectancy and anticipate hearing from those of you whose lives it will touch and change. Read the articles with expectation in your heart and look for things to change when you read it in faith to receive from God. We will be waiting to hear from you and will be praying that this newsletter will encourage you to walk in the fullness of God's grace. May God richly bless your lives as a whole and likewise may you praise, honer, and bless him forever.

EXONERATED


KAIROS TIMES
(Kairos implies not the convenience of the season, but the necessity of the task at hand whether the time provides a good, convenient opportunity or not; seasons or times at which certain foreordained events take place or necessary accomplishments need to take place.)
IT’S YOUR TIME !


Exonerated means to be set free from blame and to be proven and declared innocent. You are freed from burdens. It is your time children of GOD to be set free from all blame and guilt that satan has tried to burden you down with over the years. Whether you are newly saved or a full blown son of GOD, satan still desires to burden you down with weights you don’t have to carry. YOU ARE FREE!
In Romans chapter 5:1-5 the Holy Spirit reveals an equation to us that takes us above any situation. The result of this equation is justification. Justification means blameless, guiltless, and exonerated. By faith in Jesus Christ, you are justified and have peace with GOD. (Rom. 5:2) Also by this same faith in Jesus Christ you now have access into grace wherein we stand. We rejoice in the hope of the glory of GOD. (Rom. 5:2) The equation for peace, grace and hope is as follows:
Tribulations = Patience = Experience = Hope. Now let’s break down this equation.

Tribulations: Great afflictions distress or trails. An experience that test ones endurance, patience, and faith. We glory in tribulations also; knowing that tribulation works patience.
=
Patience: The capacity, or quality to endure pain, difficulty, or calamity with consistent endurance. Endurance is the capacity or quality to carry on; thru, patiently without yielding despite hardships or Good times. (Be consistent with GOD.)
=
Experience: What happens or has happened to one that causes knowledge or skills to be gained by observing, doing, or living thru things. The Lord desires you to have more than just knowledge about him, he desires you to experience him.
=
HOPE: To desire some good with the expectation of obtaining that good. Expect God to continue to move in your life. And Hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of GOD is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. (Rom. 5:5)

Christ died for the ungodly. We ALL were ungodly at one time. But thru Jesus Christ we have been exonerated. Let our hope be in GOD and let us stay free!
