GOD’S OVERPOWERING PURPOSE MARCH 12, 2019

THE VISION DEEP PASSION RECEIVED FROM GOD CONTAINS CLEAR AND EMPHATIC DIRECTIONS TO “MINISTER AND WITNESS, BOTH TO WHAT WE WILL SEE AND THE THINGS HE WILL REVEAL TO US” (ACTS26:16). CLEAR DIRECTION WAS GIVEN BY THE FATHER IN RESPECT OF 7 FUNDAMENTAL MINISTRIES THAT NOW FORMS THE ESSENCE OF OUR ACTIVITIES AND COMMITMENT, IN EXTENDING THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

THE 7 MINISTRIES ARE: SALVATION, DELIVERANCE, HEALING, HOPE, EDIFICATION, RECONCILIATION AND COMMUNION. (COMPREHENSIVE TEACHING ON EACH TOPIC IS PROVIDED ON SELECTED WEDNESDAY EVENINGS FROM 6.30 – 8.00 AT DEEP PASSION.)

AN OBEDIENT AND ENTHUSIASTIC COMMITMENT HAS MANIFESTED GOD’S BLESSING AND APPROVAL. IN A SHORT PERIOD OF 4 WEEKS WE HAVE EXPERIENCED 6 SALVATIONS, NUMEROUS HEALINGS AND DELIVERANCES. HOPE, EDIFICATION AND RECONCILIATION ARE DAILY PHENOMENA IN THE RIVER, AND COMMUNION FORMS AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR SUNDAY OPEN ASSEMBLY AND DURING THE OUTREACH AT THE END OF EACH MONTH.

AS WE CO-MINISTER WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT OUR EFFORTS PROCLAIM A VIVID PERSONAL AND OVERPOWERING RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

EVERYONE IS GOING AFTER JESUS! February 24, 2019 By Bob Barkley

John 12:19   Then the Pharisees said to one another, you see that your efforts are futile. Look! The whole world has gone after Him !

This past Sunday morning before Open Assembly, Holy Spirit told me to read this scripture. During Open Assembly, Holy Spirit explained to me that this was an end-time message specifically referring to our Saturday outreach and Deep Passion’s three year presence in Green Pastures and that I was to share:

The Pharisees represent the demonic kingdom and the world is Green Pastures.

You see the demonic is now convinced, their efforts in Green Pastures are futile, everyone is going after Jesus!

HOW GOD LED ME TO DEEP PASSION

"The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delights in his way."  Psalms 37:24

While on my way to the Post Office at Saunders Station, I happened to notice a friend, whom I had recently had the privilege to meet, was standing in front of a building in the 1600 block of West Broad Street.  My intention was to speak to him and see how he was doing.  When we greeted one another, he invited me to come inside where he then introduced me to some of the individuals who had been so instrumental in helping him deepen his relationship with the Lord.  The two people there at the time were Paul and Faith.  They both welcomed me with the love of Jesus; and that love was further evidenced by their deep passion and commitment to the calling on their lives.  I looked on the wall and saw a painting that was so captivating and serene.  As I was staring so intently on the painting, Paul shared the story about the meaning and the artist.  He exclaimed that I was standing in The River!

In my mind I began to reflect on a song which says these words:

There's a River of Life flowing out of me,  

Makes the lame to walk and the blind to see,

Open prison doors, sets the captives free,  

There's a River of Life flowing out of me.

Noteworthy to mention is this fact....as many times that I had visited the Post Office, I have never noticed this place!  I immediately felt like I was at home; that God was ordering my steps and I wanted to be a part of what He is doing, for He is indeed using Deep Passion by way of The River to transform lives....all for His Glory!
