Apostolic Wonders and Signs | Apostle Timothy Coats | Reacts: Experience the Book of Acts Again

What does an apostolic church really look like? This week in “Apostolic Wonders and Signs,” Apostle Coats continues our "Reacts" series by exploring the pattern of the early Church in Acts 2. This message reminds us that being apostolic is more than a title or denomination; it is a lifestyle marked by the presence of God, the preaching of truth, genuine repentance, and the power of the Holy Spirit at work. When the gospel is faithfully proclaimed, lives are transformed, hearts are convicted, and God confirms His Word with signs and wonders. The same Spirit who empowered the early Church is still building His Church today. 🔥 God is still moving. 📖 The pattern still matters. 🙌 And Jesus is still changing lives through His Church. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The Ingredients of a Touch | Pastor Matt Catinella

This message comes from guest speaker Pastor Matt Catinella of Living Water, who joins us all the way from Kampala, Uganda. Bringing a raw update on the front-line work being pioneered in Africa, Matt details how local fellowships and the Leadership Academy are raising up a generation of young leaders to transform communities. MOVING PAST THE CROWD: THE INGREDIENTS OF A TOUCH Pastor Matt dives into Mark 5, unpacking the iconic account of the woman with the issue of blood to explore the dynamic difference between casually bumping into Jesus and intentionally drawing from His power. * The Reality of the Bottom: This woman was desperate, isolated, and completely broke after suffering under the failed treatments of multiple doctors for 12 years. Like many facing financial deficits or severe health trials today, she was at the absolute bottom. * God is Moved by Faith, Not Needs: There are hurting and poor people all over the earth, but God reacts uniquely when someone introduces the active ingredient of faith. * The Transumed Message: True faith doesn't wait for the pain to vanish before deciding to believe. It takes action beforehand, paving the way for God to turn a hidden "mess into a global message". FOUR STEPS TO MANIFEST YOUR MIRACLE Breaking down the mechanism of faith, Pastor Matt outlines exactly how this woman forced her way past the dirt, dust, and cultural limitations to pull virtue out of the Savior: 1. An Ear to Hear: Faith begins by regulating what you put into your spirit. Instead of constantly jamming your mind with worldly remedies or fear-driven news, you must establish an ear to hear what the Master is speaking. 2. Faith Precedes Action: True belief requires physical movement. Like an individual washing their shoes before they even have permission to go to camp, you must actively prepare your life for the miracle you are asking God to bring. 3. Cutting Through the Obstacles: According to Hebrews 12:13, we are commanded to cut through straight paths for our feet. Receiving a miracle frequently requires you to humble yourself and cut through hidden blockages—such as bitter offenses, wrong motives, or broken relationships. 4. Holding Fast Your Confession: Based on Mark 11:23-24, you must aggressively speak to your mountain. Do not let your confession waver based on fluctuating bodily symptoms or negative reports. Sickness is an enemy trespassing on a child of God, and it must be legally ordered to leave. ENTERING INTO DIVINE REST Pastor Matt challenges the church to step past a passive "whatever happens, happens" mentality and become fully persuaded that God will perform His word. When hands are laid upon you, the seed of healing is planted, and it must be continuously watered with the highest expression of faith: ecstatic worship and thanksgiving. As Hebrews 4:3 promises, those who truly believe will enter a place of absolute divine rest. "Get out of your head and move toward your miracle." Watch or listen to this urgent, faith-building call to action, step out of compliance with your circumstances, and press directly into the presence of the Healer. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Actions of the Apostles | Apostle Timothy Coats | Pentecost Sunday

This Pentecost Sunday message by Apostle Coats focuses on the true definition of the book of Acts; not as the mere "imagination" of the early believers, but as the literal, modern blueprint for the actions and movements of a Spirit-led church. Commemorating the original outpouring 50 days after Passover , the sermon unpacks the continuous, powerful operations of the five-fold ministry and details a deep personal heritage of faith. Defining the Apostle: Derived from Apostolos, an apostle is an envoy commissioned directly by Christ or His messengers, invested with authority to speak on His behalf and act as a "sent one". Recognition Over Titles: The five-fold gifts (apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers) are not legalistic titles or random job assignments ; they are structural recognitions of the grace and appetites already actively operating in a believer's daily life. A Legacy of Outpouring: True apostolic ministry is inherently generational. Apostle Coats charts a raw, historical timeline connecting a 1920 tent revival in Bucklin, Missouri, directly down through six generations of family ministry to today. FIVE CORE ACTIONS OF THE EARLY CHURCH Summarizing the opening chapters of Acts, the sermon outlines five distinct activities that define a healthy, apostolic body of believers: Humbly Receiving the Commission: Accepting the gifts and callings of God without pushing them away or "pooh-poohing" the specific mantle placed on your life. Devoting to Prayer and the Word: Refusing to allow senior leaders to become so hyper-busy putting out administrative fires that they neglect their primary mandate to study, pray, and seek the conviction of the Spirit. Seeking Continuous Infilling: Understanding that the Holy Spirit is not a static milestone from decades past , but a continuous, active saturation where we are commanded to "keep on being filled" 24/7. Operating in Signs and Wonders: Embracing a New Testament identity that naturally results in an uptick of miracles, healings, and deliverance ministry within the local community. Laying Hands to Impart the Fire: Recognizing that the baptism of the Holy Spirit requires no advanced spiritual hierarchy or human perfection—only a saved heart ready to receive power over addiction and weakness. SUITING UP FOR THE WAR ZONE Operating as a book of Acts church means moving out of the "safe zone" of comfortable, 20-minute motivational sermons and stepping directly onto the front lines of a spiritual war zone. While an uptick in miracles is guaranteed, it is invariably accompanied by an uptick in localized opposition, demonic resistance, and spiritual warfare. "Keep on being filled with the Spirit." Watch or listen to this urgent call to unity, step out of a consumer mentality, and position yourself to pass a fiery, uncompromised legacy down to the next generation. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
