... a So. Cal Inland Empire network of prayer warriors & churches who realize the necessity of a solid foundation of concerted, strategic, prophetic prayer & intercession to usher in and uphold the move of God in our churches, cities, region, nation, & world.
A prophetic message about the new era of the "Perfect Church Renaissance"... when Revival, Awakening, & Reformation converge for the "Restoration of All Things" and the Perfection of the Church in Christ.
Here we discuss various aspects that will happen in this next Church era. Some other topics covered: Three Greatest Allies & Enemies of This Coming Era Denominationalism & Church Branding Do We Get to Choose Where We Attend Church? Peacekeepers vs. Peacemakers Modern Idea of Love vs. Biblical/Eternal Love Wounds of Love for Truth's Sake God's Moving Is Not Necessarily God's Approval Partial Obedience Is Disobedience Salt, Light & Lampstands Loving Others Unto Death More Than Ourselves
This is a teaching on what is the Sword of the Spirit. The Truth of God, the Scriptures, the Christ, the Living Word... it is the sharpest blade in the universe and it is THE means by which Jesus advanced the Kingdom of God. When we understand it and how it is used to bring Truth and advance the Kingdom, we will neither be surprised by the reaction to it nor the conflict that comes with it. The sooner that we become more comfortable with its use, necessity, operation & effect, the better witnesses we will be for the King.
In this teaching, we discuss what it looks like to worship "In Spirit & In Truth," and the dangers of exalting one at the expense of the other. Also, we explore the two things that will offend and separate those who believe that they are walking with Jesus: 1) Signs, wonders, & miracles that challenge our understanding of God. 2) Spiritual prejudices that have caused us to change the form of God into our own image where we will reject how He will work in this next era.
In this video, we give answers to the many arguments that Christians give to close themselves off from receiving and flowing with the Holy Spirit supernaturally. We specifically cover the arguments of: -"Well, I was hurt in a church like that" - Doing things "decently and in order". - "God is not the author of confusion". - Overemotionalism - Character vs. Power - How & why God can move through seemingly wrong people? - "The Holy Spirit doesn't speak of Himself, but only of Jesus". - Should we back-off from spiritual experiences for the sake of those with weaker faith? - The unintentional reason as to how the Church became afraid of the supernatural and the Holy Spirit.
This video is part 2, where we give answers to the many arguments that Christians give to close themselves off from receiving and flowing with the Holy Spirit supernaturally. We specifically cover the arguments surrounding: - Being a Berean - The Dangers of Bible-based Deception - Unbiblical vs. Non-biblical - False Signs & Wonders - Spiritual Manifestations & How to Appropriately Judge Them - The Kundalini Spirit Accusation - The Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit - Sins of the Spirit vs. Sins of the Flesh - The Holiness, Glory, & Fear of the Lord
A teaching on the B.O.T.H.S. as a secondary and separate encounter to receiving the Holy Spirit upon salvation. We explore the scriptures that define the difference between the Indwelling and the Infilling of the Spirit. Also, we cover some keys to better understand how to minister it to others.
This is Part One of a revelational message that gives the principle of the existing Paradoxes of the Kingdom and what is true BIBLICAL BALANCE that, if you are unaware, will lead ALL of us to perceive God, the Bible, the Kingdom, and doctrine incorrectly. There is a powerful demonstration at the beginning that is designed to solidify this truth that is then further expounded upon. How wide is your spectrum of Truth that the Lord can reveal Himself to you? Can you be balanced in the EXTREMES OF GOD? Your answer determines how well you can know & experience Him.
Part 2 of the revelation on the Kingdom Paradoxes that are necessary to clearly & correctly discern Truth. In this, we continue to discuss specific doctrines of the faith under the light of this principle:
- Sonship vs. Servanthood
- Spirit vs. Word
- Character vs. Power
- Law vs. Grace
- Grace vs. Truth
- Love of God vs. Fear of the Lord
- Faith vs. Works
A Spirit & Truth School is a day-long, weekend-long, or a series of single sessions seminar held in a local church or regional gathering in order to introduce and/or strengthen strategies that train, equip, & empower leaders & everyday believers to confidently & effectively do the work of the ministry.
Did you know that no move of God in history has happened aside from a human being praying it into existence beforehand? Want to know why?
The ultimate goal of this seminar will be to help establish a vibrant and effective prayer ministry/movement in each respective church that is in attendance at the seminar; resulting in prayer that will be exciting, purposeful, and have measurable results. This seminar focuses on the role of corporate prayer in God's eternal purpose for us, and examines the pitfalls and misconceptions that we have had, or have picked-up, in our respective church cultures. We will discuss the reasons behind why most Christians find it difficult to have a vibrant and effective personal prayer life, and why it is so difficult to get most believers to come consistently to church prayer meetings. Additionally, we will look at keys in the Scriptures that the Lord has given to us that will allow us to lay a foundation that will excite and empower us to enter into powerful and uplifting times of prayer. In these foundational truths we will discover:
Throughout history, every move of God upon the earth has been preceded by the specific prayers of His people. There have always been those who knew what the Lord was about to do before He did it. Learn from someone who has experienced and led prayer that turned into an outpouring of God, and how you can become an integral part of the Lord beginning to move in a greater measure in your own midst.
This seminar is designed to help steer the people of God into seeing the biblical necessity of becoming more open to the moving of the Holy Spirit.
Without a doubt, the most powerful miracle on the planet is when Salvation comes to a person, transforming him into a "new creation" in Christ.
But subsequently, have you received "the Promise of the Father" that Jesus promised to His first Disciples? Not "the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee" (2 Cor. 1:22), but the "you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you." (Acts 1:8)?
If not… why? Are the terms, "Spirit-filled" and "Spirit-led", just rhetorical terms in your Christian vernacular, or is there an actual manifestation of it in your life that you can point to for proof of His power here on earth through you?
It is amazing that within a few short years, 120 of Jesus' first followers spread the Kingdom of God throughout the ancient world without the use of modern transportation and communication systems. Why were they so effective at invading so many pagan cultures with the Good News, and today, Christianity in the West is on the decline in numbers, reputation, and in influence?
This seminar squarely addresses what is arguably the greatest deficiency in the Western Church - the Holy Spirit empowering of the Church in order to advance the Kingdom of God. The Baptism of The Holy Spirit (B.O.T.H.S.) is one of the most controversial and misunderstood aspects of Christianity. Because of this, it is as if the majority of believers just get in through the front door of The Kingdom (Salvation) and then spend most of their lives lingering by that door, instead of exploring the depths and riches of His Kingdom as well as advancing it into the world. It is perfectly understandable and strategic as to why Satan has done everything in his power to keep God's people in fear and confusion about this topic, because it is the key to his works being destroyed here on Earth. It is impossible to accurately re-present Jesus and His works without this glorious empowerment… He even said so.
In this seminar we will explore the Scriptures regarding all aspects of the "infilling of the Spirit". These truths will not be taught from just a theoretical point-of-view, but from a teacher with an experienced, working knowledge of the truths therein. The goal of this seminar will be, upon its conclusion, to activate any and all believers into this life-changing encounter with the Lord. And for those that are not ready, to have all theological barriers removed so that they may meditate on these things with the Lord, and receive it when they are ready to believe and receive. Because this seminar is intended to "break the ice" regarding the issues surrounding the Holy Spirit, one entire session will be given to a Q&A session so that the attendees may have the opportunity to ask the tough questions that are stopping them from moving forward in a life in the Spirit.
The truths in this seminar will radically change your walk with the Lord… are you ready? The King and The Kingdom are awaiting!
This particular teaching and ministry is a mainstay of what we do in many nations
...empowering the Body of Christ to be effective witnesses.
Immediately after Jesus commanded the Disciples to “Go!” and fulfill the Great Commission, He told them to “Wait!... Until you receive the Promise of the Father... and you will receive power from on high when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.” If this was a necessity for His first Disciples, why would it not be for us today, as well?
This powerful seminar lays the theology of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit (BOTHS) and power as part of a required, basic, biblical foundation in the Christian life.
This 4-session seminar will cover:
- Theology – The What, When, Who, & Why of the BOTHS
- Theology – Speaking in Tongues/Praying in the Spirit
- Preparation – The Keys & Blocks to Receiving the BOTHS
- Ministry – How to Administer the BOTHS to Others
The BOTHS is the first step for a Christian to operate in their supernatural spiritual gifts and calling to be a witness of the Gospel to a hurting, lost, and dying world. The world is waiting for the Sons & Daughters of God to move upon the Earth as true ambassadors of His Kingdom, just as Jesus, the First-born Son, did!
We will be praying for, and laying hands on every attendee to receive this blessed gift with the evidence of speaking in tongues.
One of the most needed, yet neglected, teachings in the Church is the understanding between the soul and spirit. The Bible clearly teaches that there's a difference.
When the saints of God are not exposed to the supernatural ways of the Spirit of God, then we automatically revert to advancing the Kingdom of God, doing ministry, and connecting to God Himself, through naturally-minded, man-centered means that can help people to a certain extent but will not produce biblical-level results.
In this seminar you will learn:
We will discuss specific issues of flowing with God in prayer & worship services, house gatherings, etc., and what we can do to become aware and to better acclimate ourselves to receive and flow with what the Holy Spirit is doing at any given time.
The goal of this seminar is to remove the fear and apprehension that most believers have in regards to dealing with the Kingdom of Darkness. If we are called to be followers of Jesus Christ, advancing His Kingdom, then evil spirits will not leave us alone and unchecked, regardless of how much we try to avoid them and not stir them up. Because it is their nature to steal, kill, and destroy, ignorance is not a defense! This seminar will cover all aspects of demonology and deliverance. Because of the nature of the topic, it is very important that there is thorough biblical teaching of the basics:
Because Scripture does not give a clear, detailed formula of all of the exact nuances of the deliverance ministry, it is of importance that believers are taught what the Bible does say about it, but also that the teaching comes from someone who is very experienced in actually successfully performing deliverance ministry. I believe that we should not "look for a demon under every rock", but we should also not be ignorant of the enemy's devices. Every follower of Jesus should be confident and equipped to effectively deal with the demonic as we come across it. The methodology in this seminar is taught from a God-focused perspective, rather than a demon-focused one. By doing this, it not only allows you to stay in the love of God, but to experience the joy of helping the demonically oppressed, rather than shying away from them in dread.
Many churches acknowledge the need for this ministry and have certain people in their congregation or in their community that they send all of their "tough cases" to that may involve demonization. But is this really fair or loving to those precious few brothers and sisters who have taken the time to learn and become proficient in this aspect of Jesus' ministry, to always be neck-deep in spiritual warfare? Deliverance is not a spiritual gift, it is not even a specific calling to a few, it is an aspect of the Christian life that Jesus said was a sign that would follow ALL believers (Mark 16:17). Let us begin to share the load and equip the entire Body of Christ to be the dangerous, yet glorious Bride that she is called to be!
As with all of the Spirit & Truth Schools, there is always an opportunity for follow-up questions to the ministry as needs arise.
Physical healing is one of the greatest needs of the Church and the world today. With the constant uncovering of what the American Food Industry is putting into our food sources, as well as an unrelenting onslaught of television advertisements from pharmaceutical companies to have their "cures" prescribed to us, the Church is just as sick as the world. Is there not a Healer among the people of God? How can we say that our Lord is a God "who forgives all of your sins, and heals all of your diseases", when we have more faith in doctors to heal, than in God's divine power? Does your gospel offer the hope of healing? The Gospel of Jesus Christ and the early Church did. Healing is a very difficult topic, indeed. There are so many variables and facets of why sickness and disease occur, as well as why some people get healed and why some do not. There is much emotion tied to this topic, as many have had loved-ones die, and many more have stories of failed attempts to pray and have faith for healing that have never manifested. This seminar is designed to establish the overall survey of God's view of sickness and what His reaction is to it, and thus what a Christian's view of it should be. If we also align ourselves to His views, coupled with faith, then we will also find that we can and will start to have similar results to what Jesus and His Disciples had. The ultimate goal of this session will be to lead each participant to the "renewing of the mind" in regards to receiving and ministering healing from the Lord, and to create the launching pad from which their healing can occur. In this seminar, we will allow the Holy Spirit to show each participant if there are any obstacles that are blocking them from receiving their healing. In this seminar you will learn:
Throughout the seminar there may be times (as the Holy Spirit leads) afforded for praying for those who have any pain, sickness, or infirmities. Although attendees will have an action plan to start taking steps towards receiving their healing, there will be at the conclusion of the final session, a time for healing ministry.
Healing School 2 is the continuation of Healing School 1, which is a prerequisite course. In this school, we will focus on the equipping of believers to operate in the ministry of healing, which is a scriptural sign of a follower of Jesus Christ according to Mark 16:17. To see any level of healing, we must start somewhere, and this teaching is to empower you to step-out, in knowledge and faith, into what is possible for "all who believe". In this seminar we will reaffirm:
In this seminar we will learn:
Throughout the seminar there may be times (as the Holy Spirit leads) afforded for praying for those who have any pain, sickness, or infirmities. There will be at the conclusion of the final session, a time for healing ministry.
It has often been said in the modern Western Church that we lose as many people out the back door of the church than are coming through the front door. The seemingly obvious conclusion that is made is that we need stronger discipleship and more church programs in order to get new converts "plugged-in" to a greater extent into our local church assemblies. But, this solution requires much in the way of resources and manpower. Resources and manpower to which the early, organic, persecuted Church did not have access. So, is this really where we should start putting our focus and resources, or is there something awry in our foundational understanding of conversion and evangelism? As always, the Bible has the answer.
This teaching came about through my own personal experiences as an inner-city missionary and the frustrations that are associated with leading people to the Lord as well as the issues associated with discipleship and "follow-up". The basis of this seminar is to establish the believers understanding of God's definition of what it means to be "saved". With a proper biblical foundation of Salvation and the process of Salvation laid, we are then able to delve into what is a Christian's responsibility and methodology of co-laboring with The Lord in this endeavor. Also, a prime product of this teaching is that believers will also be challenged to better use wisdom and discernment when assessing where people are at in their walk towards or away from The Lord, and speak accordingly.
Turn your congregants attitude towards sharing their faith from worked-up, guilt-driven, evangelism methodologies, to a natural, joyful lifestyle of outflow of The Good News! After hearing these messages, one gentleman exclaimed. "I've been in the Church for 40 years, and that is the most powerful message that I've ever heard."
Based on Ephesians 4:11, this seminar delves into gaining the understanding of the roles of apostles, prophets, evangelists, and pastor/teachers, and their parameters for functioning together within the Body of Christ, as well as the right heart that is required. The Government of God is one of the first and most essential components that must be restored to its fullness if the Church is to be equipped to stand and reflect the glory of God in the Last Days. This seminar will discuss leadership, discipleship, church structure, and the ministry of the saints that will be the wineskin for this Renaissance Era that takes us into the return of Jesus Christ.
As I have ministered in different parts of the country, it is absolutely amazing how many believers I have seen who are so hungry for more of God, but feel like they cannot find that "something more" in their respective churches, due to doctrinal rigidity or restraints. Hearing teaching online is one thing, but having somebody personally to talk to in order to delve into the tough questions that people have regarding the issues surrounding the Holy Spirit, is an invaluable resource and can be the key to breakthrough in stepping into one's next level of spiritual growth. To accommodate these small enclaves throughout the nation, we offer the Power From On High Seminar to be taught to home groups via Skype video conferencing on a laptop or a PC linked to television by an HDMI video cable. The typical seminar would consist of four, 2-hour sessions; once per week, for 4 weeks. With these sessions, participants will receive all of the biblical instruction needed to feel confident to enter into receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Though some participants may receive it on their own from the Lord even prior to the end of the seminar, there is not much that can substitute for the "laying on of hands" of which the Scriptures teach. Because this is often an integral part of receiving the B.O.T.H.S., I offer the option of coming to the homegroup in question for a fifth-week impartation meeting, in order to lay hands upon all of the participants for the imparting of the B.O.T.H.S. There are no costs for the seminar other than to cover the cost of the seminar workbook ($10). If the group wants to give a love offering at the conclusion, then it is appreciated, but not necessary. For travel in Southern California for the impartation night, we would ask that the group just cover the fuel cost. For travel to other parts of the U.S., the group would be required to cover the cost of a single airfare and hotel for the length of stay.

"The best book on the subject of tongues that you'll ever read!"
"After digging deep into this subject for a number of years to find actual truth, I can say without a doubt, this is the best and most complete work on this subject that I have found."
Since the release of this book, the testimonies have been rolling in... for those who have never spoken in tongues—receiving it for the first time; for those who have not experienced or understood the fullness or specifics of this powerful gift—becoming free and confident on its parameters and usefulness. Each chapter answers a burning question that many Christians have about speaking in tongues. This is the perfect book for both the theological skeptic and the longtime practitioner. Half of the book is dedicated to providing a sound, working theology that addresses every barrier to the receiving and the necessity of the gift. The other half is revelatory teaching that brings depth and faith to the operation of this gift that will reignite a fire in your spirit to reinstitute the importance of its consistent, biblical use. This is a prophetic season in which the Lord is once again highlighting the necessity of the gift of tongues in His Body. In this book is everything you need to know about the spiritual gift of Speaking in Tongues and its place in the church, ministry, and a Kingdom lifestyle. Using a surplus of Scripture, humor, and thrilling firsthand stories, the author confronts head-on the many myths and misconceptions surrounding this powerful spiritual gift.
"¡El mejor libro sobre el tema de las lenguas que jamás hayas leído!" "Después de profundizar en este tema durante varios años para encontrar la verdad real, puedo decir sin lugar a dudas que este es el mejor y más completo trabajo sobre este tema que he encontrado". Desde el lanzamiento de este libro, los testimonios han ido llegando... para aquellos que nunca han hablado en lenguas, recibiéndolo por primera vez; para aquellos que no han experimentado o entendido la plenitud o las especificaciones de este poderoso don, volviéndose libres y confiados en sus parámetros y utilidad. Cada capítulo responde a una pregunta candente que muchos cristianos tienen acerca de hablar en lenguas. Este es el libro perfecto tanto para el escéptico teológico como para el practicante de toda la vida. La mitad del libro está dedicada a proporcionar una teología sólida y funcional que aborde todas las barreras para recibir y la necesidad del don. La otra mitad es enseñanza reveladora que aporta profundidad y fe a la operación de este don que volverá a encender un fuego en su espíritu para restablecer la importancia de su uso consistente y bíblico. Esta es una temporada profética en la que el Señor destaca una vez más la necesidad del don de lenguas en Su Cuerpo. En este libro está todo lo que necesita saber sobre el don espiritual de hablar en lenguas y su lugar en la iglesia, el ministerio y el estilo de vida del Reino. Utilizando un excedente de las Escrituras, el humor y emocionantes historias de primera mano, el autor confronta de frente los muchos mitos y conceptos erróneos que rodean este poderoso don espiritual.

This powerful seminar lays the theology of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit (BOTHS) and power as part of a required, basic, biblical foundation in the Christian life.
This 4-session seminar will cover:
- Theology – The What, When, Who, & Why of the BOTHS
- Theology – Speaking in Tongues/Praying in the Spirit
- Preparation – The Keys & Blocks to Receiving the BOTHS
- Ministry – How to Administer the BOTHS to Others
The BOTHS is the first step for a Christian to operate in their supernatural spiritual gifts and calling to be a witness of the Gospel to a hurting, lost, and dying world. The world is waiting for the Sons & Daughters of God to move upon the Earth as true ambassadors of His Kingdom, just as Jesus, the First-born Son, did!

We will discuss specific issues of flowing with God in prayer & worship services, house gatherings, etc., and what we can do to become aware and to better acclimate ourselves to receive and flow with what the Holy Spirit is doing at any given time.
The Workbook & 4 Sessions are:
"Now I understand what was happening when I would witness someone who moved in true spiritual power compared to when I prayed for someone. Now I know where to better focus for my growth in ministering in power!"
"This is not your typical dry, boring teaching on prayer!
I went to get a drink and got a fire hose!"
Did you know that EVERY move of God has been preceded by prayer?
Did you know that revival NEVER happens without preceding prayer?
Do you know why?
This powerful seminar will give you a clear understanding of how to perceive God and how we need to see ourselves in approaching Him in prayer. Additionally, the theology, prophetic revelation, and practical guides for successful corporate prayer, will turn every prayer meeting into an effective, powerful time that produces life, faith, and results.
The Workbook & 4 Sessions are:
This seminar is foundational, inspirational, and challenging for both the young in the faith and the seasoned intercessor, with activations at the end of each session. After a seminar, one pastor stated, "I have been a pastor for over 25 years and there were things covered that I've never heard about prayer before!"
This classic work by Gene Edwards is a must-read for anyone called to leadership within the Body of Christ! It is a quick, one-sitting read that cuts to the heart of our attitudes towards and as leaders, emerging leaders, and wanna-be leaders. This little book packs a major heart-exposing punch that we believe should be required reading for all in leadership.
One of the most important topics in the Bible!
The fear of the Lord is the key to the treasures of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. In this book, John challenges you to reverence God in a way that will transform your daily life.
In this two-in-one volume, you'll find two definitive books on prayer from apostle and author Dutch Sheets.
Called foundational, revolutionary, illuminating, and motivating, Intercessory Prayer is a classic work, still fresh and inspiring after more than 20 years. This rich, biblical teaching shows how vital our prayers are and how God works in partnership with us through prayer. As Dutch Sheets explains the nuts and bolts of prayer with wisdom, gentleness, and humor, you will find inspiration and courage to pray for the impossible--and the persistence to see your prayers to completion. Includes questions for reflection and discussion leader's guide.
Authority in Prayer will show you how to take hold of God's promises and pray with the authority he wants you to have. You can reign in life and be the overcomer God intends you to be, taking charge of your personal world and changing the world around you. Don't allow sin, Satan, or the circumstances of life to weigh you down.
This book is a faith builder. It challenges every believer to walk in supernatural signs and wonders as a natural part of everyday life. Anyone can walk in the miraculous---even you! If you've ever wanted to live and walk in the supernatural power of God, here's your chance! It is truly possible for human people to walk in the divine, and Christ came to show us the way. It is by rediscovering our true identity in Him that we can begin to move into the promises of God regarding the miraculous. Bill Johnson not only teaches the supernatural, he imparts it by changing the way we think. If you are not walking in the miraculous, you're living far below your birthright! By laying a carefully constructed biblical foundation for walking in the supernatural power of God, When Heaven Invades Earth provides all the equipment you need to experience miracles every day.
This book is a staple in the arsenal of almost every believer who has embarked on the ministry of deliverance. Derek Prince has been responsible for bringing this topic to light for untold thousands of modern believers.
In this readable, biblically-based book, Derek Prince answers these and many other vital questions. If you are struggling with problems that never seem to go away, has it ever occurred to you that demons may be at work? Or perhaps you want to help others with such problems.
Derek Prince points out that "Jesus never sent anyone out to preach the Gospel without specifically instructing and equipping them to take action against demons in the same way that He Himself did."
If this is not true today, Prince asks, "Who has changed? Jesus? The demons? The Church?"
This book is a collection of prophetic words for the Last Days... some of the clearest, hugest, riveting, & truest prophetic words that we believe are out there regarding this next era!
Wendy Alec's powerful book is a divine revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ and His cry for a deeper intimacy with each and every person on earth. For the unbeliever, it presents a profound picture of who Jesus really is and how much He cares. For the believer, it is an extraordinary challenge to walk in the fullness of everything God has in store for His Beloved children.
We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible, authoritative Word of the Living God. The Bible is the final authority on all matters of life, faith and practice. The maxim of interpretation is "Scripture interprets Scripture."
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons (Triune): Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of Christ, in His Virgin Birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of God, and in His personal return in power and glory.
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful humanity, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential, and that repentance from sin and acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is the only way to come into a relationship with God.
We believe that salvation is an act of God's saving grace by the work of the Holy Spirit in regenerating and converting the hearts of men by His free gift of saving faith.
We believe in the personal return of Jesus Christ, to set up His literal earthly Kingdom. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation -- a literal Hell.
We believe in the present ministry and manifestation of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life; we further believe His power and gifts are available to believers today, through the Baptism of the Holy Spirit subsequent to salvation, in order that they do the works that Jesus commanded all of His followers to do.
We believe it is important to uphold the scriptural practices of the early church. Therefore, we hold to the practice of water baptism and the regular taking of Communion. We do not believe that either of these practices is essential for salvation, but that they serve as a demonstration of our living faith in Christ.
We believe that there is but one Head of the church, the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the responsibility of the church and its institutions to maintain His Lordship over their activities, and not to submit that right to any individual, corporate body, governmental agency or head of state.
We believe that every area of life is to be subject to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We adhere to a world and life view which seeks to make the Lord Jesus Christ preeminent in all things.
We further express that God the Father is our Creator and our Sustainer in life; that Jesus Christ the Holy & Only Begotten Son of God is our Redeemer, and we submit to His Lordship; that the Holy Spirit is One who reveals and guides us personally and professionally in our ministries & lives; and that the Holy Bible is the infallible authority in matters of faith and conduct.
These biblical standards guide us as we apply the life-giving message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to our ministry. The application of these standards of faith and conduct indicates that we demonstrate a respect for and value of every person as a being created in the image of God and deserving of His love
We are and believe in the necessity of the local church... we aslo believe that the only way for the full expression of the local church to manifest itself is through a multitude of house gatherings in addition to whatever support traditional church structures can provide to facilitate that end. This is the primary way in which we will reach and disciple the coming harvest.
For people to be fully immersed in family, discipleship, and growth in their gifts and calling—smaller, more intimate gatherings are required, while at the same time being connected to the larger Body of Christ regionally, where they might receive further insight and direction to the larger overall strategies of the Lord in any given season.

Through our home gatherings, church ministry seminars, or itinerant visiting to any Church venue, we help strengthen, align, and be a resource to existing house and traditional churches, as well as helping to establish additional house gatherings in the power and Presence of the Holy Spirit.
The one word that best describes the heart & focus of the ministry is -- FULLNESS.
First and foremost, they are a son & daughter of their Heavenly Father, lovers of the Holy Spirit, and radical followers of Jesus Christ. Their style of ministry is direct, real, transparent, relatable, and results-driven. Spirit & Truth Schools are the teaching and equipping outreach of their ministry and church, Renaissance Roar, an equipping ministry called to promote revival, reformation, & awakening that results in long-term, sustainable transformation of individuals, churches, cities, and nations.
They have a Jeremiah ministry; "To root out and to pull down, to destroy and throw down, to build and to plant." In order to support further, greater Kingdom growth; proper, strong, and level foundations must be laid. Many times, if improper foundations exist (unbiblical thinking, doctrine, traditions, experiences) then those foundations must be shaken and removed in order for the Lord to build a correct foundation and wineskin, in order to facilitate what He wants to do that is "exceedingly and abundantly above all that we could ask or imagine".
Jonathan & Jessy reside with their two children, Justus & Josie, in Southern California.
Jonathan is a Revivalist & Reformer who loves truth, sincerity, and authenticity. He is a passionate prophetic teacher & preacher of the Word. He spends most of his time relationally serving churches; locally, regionally, and internationally, by making them aware of prophetic shifts and then helping to implement biblical structures, understanding, and a Kingdom culture that facilitates the needed change.
He has a call to awaken, prepare, and equip God's people to enter into all of the fullness of Salvation and to see Christ fully formed in His Church. His goal is to always take individuals & churches to their next level by equipping the saints to do the work of the ministry in power and biblical accuracy, with understanding, effectiveness, and results... for the glory of God and the fulfillment of every Christian's individual destiny.
His passion is helping to guide believers into a deeper level of honoring, experiencing, communing, and ministering with the Holy Spirit while maintaining a solid biblical lifestyle of wisdom, holiness, and faithfulness to the Truth found in the Word of God.
His desire is to always be on the cutting-edge of what God is saying and doing in the Church in this hour.
Jonathan was raised in the Church and has a very eclectic church background, at one-time-or-another being a part of all facets of the Church spectrum. He has been a part of house churches, community churches, mega-churches, revival/renewal churches, and organic churches, as well as church planting and pastoring. He also has a background in corporate business and consulting as well as running several businesses of his own. At one point he left the corporate world to become an inner-city missionary where he lived among and ministered to the poor and homeless. While there, he met his wife, Jessy.
The training ground for his ministry for leading in revival/renewal was when he had the honor (reluctantly at first) of plowing, preparing, and then leading an outpouring of God within a youth ministry which then turned into a five-year move where unchurched families were saved, backslidden families recommitted, healings of incurable diseases, miracles, and angelic visitations, as well as an outpouring of musical/songwriting talents and abilities which affected the entire local church with new life, occurred.
Jonathan travels nationally and internationally ministering the Gospel and strengthening believers and churches wherever he goes. He currently serves as an itinerant minister, conference speaker, author, church leader, and entrepreneur.
