LEADING POWERFUL MEETINGS

I.  LEADING A MEETING IS LIKE BEING A SPIRITUAL TOUR GUIDE.

A.  YOUR JOB IS TO TAKE PEOPLE FROM POINT A TO POINT Z. THERE ARE STOPS B-Y YOU MAKE ALONG THE WAY.

                        1. SPIRITUAL PLACES ARE REAL!

                        2. THE THRONE ROOM OF GOD.

                        3. IN THE SPIRIT ON THE LORDS DAY.

                        4. HOLY OF HOLIES.

B. SPIRITUAL TRANSACTIONS ARE TO TAKE PLACE AT EVERY STOP.

1.  SPIRITUAL TRANSACTIONS ARE REAL, SPIRITUAL THINGS HAVE SUBSTANCE!

                        2.  DECISIONS ARE MADE.

                        3. REVELATION / UNDERSTANDING IS RECEIVED.

            3. DON'T  BYPASS IMPORTANT STOPS AND TRANSACTIONS.

            4. DON’T EAT THE ANOINTING. (STAY IN ONE SPOT TO LONG)

D.  THERE IS A SENSE OF WHOLENESS AND SATISFACTION, WHEN AT THE END OF A SERVICE YOU KNOW YOU DID ALL THE WILL OF GOD.

II.  TO BE A GOOD TOUR GUIDE YOU MUST UNDERSTAND YOUR PEOPLE.

A.  WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW SPIRITUAL CREATURES WORK.

1. YOU ARE A SPIRITUAL CREATURE; YOU HAVE A SOUL THAT LIVES IN A BODY.

                        2. SPIRITUAL CREATURES HAVE-

                                    FIVE SENSES

                                    EMOTIONS OR FEELINGS

                                    ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND

                                    A WILL

3. ON YOUR TOUR, YOU MUST TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ALL THESE FACTORS.

4. YOUR FIVE SENSES IS THE WINDOW TO YOUR INNER MAN, WHICH IS YOUR SOUL OPERATING SYSTEM - IT’S HOW YOU RECEIVE AND PROCESS DATA.

                        5.  EACH OF YOUR FIVE SENSES HAS A                                                                     SPIRITUAL COUNTERPART.

                                    VISION - SIGHT

                                    INCENSE - SMELL

                                    HEARING - ANGELS SINGING,

INNER WITTINESS, GODS VOICE

TOUCH - GOD’S HAND WAS UPON HIM

TASTE - TASTE AND SEE THE LORD IS GOOD

6.  PREPARE YOUR SETTING TO ACCOMMODATE THE FIVE SENSES.

                                    THE ROOM

                                    ORDER

                                    PLACEMENT

                                    COLOR

                                    LIGHTING

                                    CLIMATE

                                    TEXTURE

                                    GRAPHICS

                                    ETC.

                       7.  NOTICE THAT THE BIBLE OFTEN DESCRIBE THE SETTING WHERE SPIRITUAL TRANSACTIONS TAKE PLACE.
