ACOP Values

[Kimberly]

I really enjoyed the insight about relating the fullness of the Holy Spirit to kids – and how they should not be limited in their expectations of who He is and what He can do. I think this is a great way to remind ourselves about living in the fullness because our kids, the kids in our church, and our communities, will see if we put limitations on what God can do and it will impact them.

I really love the value that we are better together. Where more than one gathers in the name of the Lord, there He is. Powerful things can happen when people gather together. Not only can people’s energy about God fuel revival in another person, but people have different viewpoints and processing, which can be so beneficial when it comes to making things happen for the kingdom of God.

Respond to the following prompt(s) in paragraph format:

• The A-Team members commented on ACOP's Value for the Fullness of the Spirit, what insights did you get about this value from their comments?
• Which other values do you resonate with? Why?

As the Apostolic Team members commented about the Fullness of the Spirit I heard of Holy Spirit’s three-fold ministry. Some commented to the “with” ministry of Holy Spirit. They spoke of being aware of the abiding presence of the Spirit. Some commented of the “in” ministry of Holy Spirit. Not only is Holy Spirit with us, He is in us. He checks us, leads us, guides us. Others talked of the “upon” ministry of power.

I enjoyed listing to the team talk about the preeminence of Jesus. I am glad that is a core ACOP value.

I enjoyed the sharing of all The A Team members shared. They are all unique in their Values for the Fullness of the Spirit. Mostly all of them shared about the relationship with Jesus and the Holy Spirit dwelling in their lives. As a followers of Jesus, we always need to be aware of the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives, level of intimacy, dependence on God, seeking God, that we can experience how big, powerful our God is and lastly, we need to adopt the spiritual gifts

Values i resonate with in my ministry is before you share who Jesus in our lives, we need to experience first. It's hard to share Gods healing if we never experience in our lives. Let's see and taste the goodness of our God and them share to them. I've seen and tasted the power of prayer in my lives. I can witness to them because i experience it.

Before we do things, we need to ask God, what would you like to speak to your people because we are his vessel.

To truly fulfill our Call, we need Him to be part of everything we do, constantly with our ‘ear to His chest’ to hear His heartbeat for every situation.. that is what I feel walking in His Fulness comes down too – having His ways permeate all we do.

Loving people, as this is the area I feel I’m being stretched and molded right now. I’m learning to increase my love walk.
