WHY YOU should be jealous for another’s anointing

Whether jealous of possessions and performance or positions and relationships, we all know that jealousy is destructive: “For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing” (New American Standard Bible, 1995, Jas. 3:16).

Within the church, there can even be jealousy of spiritual gifts. So, why should we be jealous for another’s anointing? And how is that different from being jealous of another’s anointing?

Our GoalS

1. Steward Revival for Maximum Impact

We believe the tsunami of God’s next great move is approaching shore and are committed not to reject the new thing God is doing, but to participate in the full acceleration His Spirit’s moving brings. We do not exist to sustain or maintain what is, but believe status quo has got to go to make way for Kingdom advancement.

2. Sustain the Gain for a Lifetime

We seek to sustain an open heaven for a lifetime, and therefore, desire to be very diligent about the intersections of Worship and Prayer, Word and Spirit.

3. Raise Up Titans of the Faith

We feel called to pursue power over prevalence, purity over prominence and perseverance over popularity. We believe Christ commends a pure and spotless bride, not a bloated bride. We have a goal of raising up tomorrow’s spiritual giants who are wholly devoted to His person, His praise and His purposes, as we know the Lord’s eyes look throughout the earth seeking to show Himself strong to those whose hearts are wholly devoted to Him (2 Chr 16:9). We believe the church exists to comfort the afflicted but also to spur one another on to love and good deeds, not to coddle each other in partial obedience.

4. Pure Praise

We long to be King Davids of the Kingdom, leading the way for pure praise that catches the attention of heaven, elevating worship as the chief end of the church.

5. Catalyze a Prayer Movement

We want to be driven and directed in dependence lived out through intercessory and inquiring prayer. We intercede because we believe God is, God answers and God acts. We inquire out of a desire to be led by Him, not trusting our own skills, strategies or schemes but His guidance.

6. Raise Up a Joshua and Caleb Generation

Only two of approximately two million had the faith to persevere in pursuit of God’s promise. We know what God has revealed about the test of faith coming to the next generation and we are burdened to pass on a baton of persevering faith to the future generation.

7. Fight for Every One

We refuse to leave our community uncontended and uncontested, but instead, we are unapologetically on mission for every life and every eternity.
