These and Greater Things

Yesterday's blog was getting a bit long, so I'll continue the day from here: In the afternoon, we met to begin the BTI Challenge! This was a week long challenge for BTI students to work together to do things for The Kingdom that would stretch you. Such as:

1) Share a prophetic word with somone on the bus or at the bus stop. 2) Get a word of knowedge about healing, pray and see someone healed. 3) Preach a Gospel shot (at least 2 minutes long!) in a public place around people. 4) Get permission from a business owner to pray throughout their building and for their business. 5) Obtain finances or resources form an outside source and purchase or obtain 1 week of groceries and 1 month of funds to pay for utilities and rent for an entire needy family in the area (no funds from you personally). 6) Get a non-Spirit filled Christian baptized in the Holy Spirit. 7) Introduce a foreigner, senior or new ager to Jesus.

These are just a few- there were others options. But look at the extra credit items:

Resurrections, multiplying food, walking on water, walking through walls, healing of blind, deaf, lame, etc. (These are extra credit for War College students as well). How cool is that?! To my knowledge, no one has yet completed one, but with people actually trying, someone's bound to accomplish one soon! I've got this bump on my head from trying to walk through the Command Center gate when it was locked before class!

I bet you're feeling these items above are fine for such a conference. After all, they are teaching us how to be more incarnational in our ministries. But I think these things should be on our regular, everyday list of things to accomplish for God. If you're not trying any of them, what are the chances any of them will ever happen?

Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada.

"These and greater things you will do because I am going to the Father." - Jesus.
