We are living in a time where there is a hunger for a real move of God. People seem looking for a place where God can visit and do whatever He wants to do; a place where He can “tabernacle” among His people and show that He is truly God; a place where God visits and we see Him in a measure of His glory like never before in this time; where men and women stop their cars and run in to be born again; a place where all manner of diseases and sicknesses are healed; a place where God can deliver men, women and children from their toughest habits such as cocaine, crack, pot, alcohol, pornography and anything else that is a hindrance to their life; a place where (after they have exhausted the world’s way of doing things: they can run to and bask in the flood of the unlimited favor of God.

This will be a place where one can literally swim in waters of the glory of God and receive an answer to every physical, emotional and spiritual need they may have.  But more importantly gain revelation, knowledge, and insight on how to do things God’s way; a place where wisdom abounds and the love of God softens the most callused heart and everyone else who enters the door; a place where the joy of the Lord is their strength; a place where the Bible is taught with integrity, honesty, with an anointing and deep revelation of who God really is and where manipulation and man’s gimmicks are never seen; a place where understanding wells up like springs in the most driest of deserts; a place where man’s ideas are replaced with God ideas flourishing in abundance; a place where everyone who enters leaves saying, “God has visited me again in a special way.  I must go and tell it to everyone I meet.”

The Embassy will be a place where maturity buds up like a cactus flower in the desert; where worship and praise is free and a new song is sung every morning; a place where praise effects the strongholds of city, state and even the nations, removing every hindering force so that the Word of God is delivered and received with excellence and perfection; a place where men, women and children of all ages and of every race known to man join together and pray.  As their prayers pierce through the heavens the building in which they stand is shaken by the power of God; a place where worship ushers in the presence of God where lives are instantly changed; where worship opens wide Heaven’s windows and the flood of the glory of God falls without restraint; a place where anyone and everyone can find welcomed relief, be refreshed and see His divine, unmerited, unlimited, favor; a place where people will say, “Let us go to the house that God visits.”  It will be a place where people can receive the ultimate, believe the ultimate, see the ultimate and do the ultimate.  And all that man can say is, “Look what the Lord has done.”

There are many things that can be said about a ministry, but unless a church has a vision it will never know its purpose.  And if that purpose is not in the heartbeat of that church, its mission and goals won’t be seen and thus will end up as a passive wasteland.  Embassy Ministries has a heart no only to win the lost, but to build strong leadership in the body of Christ (both in the laity of the church and in those with a call upon their lives.)

Anyone can build a “church.”  But God never told us to build the church; He told us to preach the kingdom of God.  We don’t need a church on every corner.  We need a kingdom of God in every house.  Jesus said He would build the church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Anyone can take the role of a “pastor.”  But few will heed the call of the pastor.  By heeding the call, things are done according to the kingdom of God rather than the cultures of man-not bound by tradition but full of life and revelation-not studying the preach but studying to live.

God is raising a new breed of men, women, apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers who will not preach according to the cultures of man, but will preach the culture of the kingdom of God.  They aren’t afraid to advance and take back what rightfully belongs to God and to the children of God.  They will minister with confrontational truth and with non-condemning compassion (with a boldness for truth, and a courage to love the unlovely.)  Man’s ideas, gimmicks and hype are replaced with God ideas and His power.

By building strong leaders in the church, we build even better ambassadors to our cities, thus changing the world and igniting the faith of the multitudes to believe the ultimate, receive the ultimate, do the ultimate and see the ultimate happen in their lives. 

Embassy Ministries is ready to go the distance in anything God wants us to do.  It is not a ministry that is confined to a comfort zone, but instead is ready for the stretching by God’s hand to go farther, faster and grow stronger for the kingdom of God.  We have a mission and a message that will cause…

·        the despondent to respond;

·        those in despair to be repaired;

·        the depressed to begin to progress.

Embassy Ministries carries a strong apostolic word to challenge, to bring life and hope, and to change the facts of people’s lives through the truth of God’s Word.  As ambassadors we are on a mission.  We have an assignment and a message from the King.

q       The position, functions, or business of an ambassador

q       The official residence or offices of an ambassador in a foreign country

q       An ambassador and his staff

q       A person or group sent on an official mission to a foreign government

q       Any important or official mission, errand, or message

 An embassy has three distinct functions:

 1.      To decree the voice of the nation it represents;

2.      To defend the rights of the citizens of the nation it represents;

3.      To help provide citizenship into the nation it represents.

An embassy makes certain the voice of its nation is heard in foreign lands.  The church, the body of Christ, is the voice of ambassadors speaking in this foreign land, shouting with a voice of triumph that citizenship is available into the kingdom of God

Our purpose is to

I.                    Let people know that citizenship is available into the kingdom of God.

II.                 To let people know their rights and privileges as a citizen of the kingdom of God.

A.     Who and what they are in Christ

B.     Total salvation plan

C.     Healing, delivering, and protecting power of God.

III.               And to hear what God is decreeing from His throne room to this world and time in which we live.

The Spirit – The Place of Beginnings

Spiritual birth and growth for many people begin in church services.  Services are designed for all ages, reaching all cultures and ministering to every need.  It is designed to build the unity of the core group in preparation for what God wants said and done in the lives of individuals, the local church body, and in the body of Christ as a whole.  It is where change happens in the lives of people (where practical things are developed and the training for outreach can began.)  God designed church services to create great change on the inside of people’s lives so that He can be seen by others through the outside of their lives (their holy manner of living).  Church service is when burdens are removed and yokes are destroyed so the multitudes can fulfill their destiny in Christ and for Christ.

The Practical – Being Balance in an Unbalanced World

The church has been guilty of focusing wither on the spiritual or the practical, rarely ever finding the balance between he two.  It takes 12 hours of AM and 12 hours of PM to make a complete 24-hour day.  Spiritually speaking, many churches focus only on a 12-hour AM or a 12-hour PM.  There are millions who believe in the financial blessing of God but don’t know how or why they should balance their checkbooks.  There are millions who believe in the healing power of God but continue to abuse their bodies through lack of discipline.  Stewardship is practicality.  Without completing the day, we never fulfill our lives.  There is a balance and if we are going to lead others into the kingdom of God, it is vital that we not only have the spiritual insight to see and hear the plan of God, but the practicality to live out the plan of God.  We should always remember that we are destroyed for the lack of knowledge and in our getting of wisdom, we must get understanding.
