Kingdom Encounter Glenn Bleakney

Welcome to the Power of Five podcast! In this episode, Glenn Bleakney and Dr. Michael Gretchko dive into the book of Ephesians, specifically chapter four. They explore the concept of the fivefold ministry and its significance in fulfilling God's purpose for the church. Ephesians 4 provides insight into the importance of unity, walking worthy of our calling, and utilizing the gifts that Christ has given us.
## Understanding the Overall Theme of Ephesians 4
To fully grasp the message of Ephesians 4, it is essential to understand the context of the entire book. Paul wrote the letter to the believers in Ephesus, emphasizing both theology and practical instructions for the church. The first three chapters lay the foundation of theology, highlighting God's purpose for His church. The following three chapters focus on the practical application of the church's purpose in the world.
## Walking Worthy of our Calling
In Ephesians 4:1-17, Paul exhorts the church to walk in a manner worthy of their calling. This passage emphasizes the unity of the Spirit and the importance of maintaining peace and humility within the body of Christ. Paul encourages believers to bear with one another, being eager to maintain unity. The church is called to walk in a way that reflects its identity in Christ, demonstrating love, gentleness, and patience.
## The Role of the Fivefold Ministry
In verses 7-16, Paul explains the purpose of the fivefold ministry: apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers. These gifts were given by Christ to equip the saints for the work of ministry, building up the body of Christ. The fivefold ministry exists to serve the church and help individuals walk worthy of their calling. They provide coaching and equipping, guiding believers in utilizing their spiritual gifts to serve others effectively.
## The Importance of Utilizing Spiritual Gifts
Each believer has been given spiritual gifts according to the measure of Christ's gift. These gifts are manifestations of the Holy Spirit's work within us. Every gift is essential for the growth and edification of the body of Christ. Just as a sports team functions best when every member understands their position and contributes to the team's objective, the church thrives when every believer understands and utilizes their spiritual gifts.
## Connecting the Body of Christ
The body of Christ is a metaphor used throughout the New Testament to illustrate the interconnectedness and interdependence of believers. Just as a body cannot function properly if each part is not working together, the church cannot fulfill its purpose if believers are disconnected. Each member has a unique role to play, and when all members are actively serving, the body grows and becomes healthy. The church needs every individual to fully operate in unity and oneness.
## Shifting from Individualism to Community
In Western societies, there is often a heavy emphasis on individualism. However, the biblical perspective emphasizes the importance of community and the interconnectedness of believers within the body of Christ. While personal gifts and callings are significant, they find their fullest expression within the context of community and in serving others. The church must move away from an individualistic mindset and embrace the idea of functioning as a unified body.
## Cultivating a Kingdom Culture
As believers understand their gifts, calling, and role within the body of Christ, they become catalysts for sustaining revival and bringing about transformation. This requires a shift in the default settings of our culture, embracing a kingdom culture that prioritizes unity, diversity, and the equipping of the saints. By cultivating a kingdom culture in the church, we create an environment where each member can grow and contribute to the collective growth of the body of Christ.
## The Importance of Collaboration...

God's desire to dwell among his people through intimacy and relationship. God is calling the church to build him a sanctuary according to his divine blueprint. The message issues a call to consecration so God's people can become vessels of his glory and power. through which signs, wonders and miracles flow. Powerful insights for those hungry to experience more of God's glory manifesting in and through the church.

Glenn Bleakney sits down with Rick Dubose, the Assistant General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God to discuss his book, "In Jesus' Name: 5 Altars of Prayer That Move Heaven and Earth."

While many books have been written on prayer, Assemblies of God leader Rick DuBose’s new book draws from not only the witness of Scripture, but also a profound personal encounter Pastor Rick had in the throne room of God.
Rick opens In Jesus’ Name: 5 Altars of Prayer That Move Heaven and Earth, with the words, “If we really understood the effect that prayer has on the world and our lives, the Church would become a place of continuous prayer.”
Pastor Rick examines five postures, or altars, of prayer that will unlock your spiritual authority and turn the tide in the Church’s battle against the enemy. Each of the prayer altars addresses a different facet of sacred space where we connect with God for spiritual transformation.
