Pastor Charles on The Lee Sherrell show in Dallas, Texas (part 5)

Lee: and I believe that’s the same thing in what God’s called you into. Nevertheless, even though these business, whether small or great or big. And you made a statement just now covering. Covering is a very important issue. Whenever people say, “Where do you go to church?” I say, “Well, I don’t.” “Where’s your covering?” Charles: Exactly. A lot of people will confuse covering with control. Covering should not be as smothering. Covering should be an enabler. Lee: There’s a difference in covering and smothering. Charles: There’s a difference and covering is a good thing. It is having people that know you and you know them, and it implies accountability. It’s implies relationship. It implies a covenant. When the enemy comes against you, he’s coming against me as your covering, for example. And I wanted to just touch a little bit on the next issue. Jesus told Peter to cast your nets – plural...

Charles: He is moving. It’s a new day. Lee: Amen. And you’ve got testimonies of people and God called you in this what? Five years ago to do what you’re doing right now? Charles: I have got so many testimonies. Five years ago. Lee: It has to be working to be five years old even. Charles: We’re growing. We’re constantly growing. We’re always adding new companies. We’re in the United Kingdom. We’re in Canada and then we’re in 14 states in the US. Lee: Wow. So, people’s businesses have taken off. Charles: They have taken off. We had one company double in size in 24 hours in the number of clients that they had. Now, I’m not saying that’s the norm. That‘s the exception, but it’s real. Why? Because the Lord – He honors mutual submission. Lee: Amen. So, the keyword that what you’re talking about here today – and I want you to pay real...

Charles: That’s the apostolic guys. Is that the apostle, Paul told Titus, he said, “I long to come to you that I might set those things that are lacking in order.” The apostolic will set things in order. And we all need to be teachable and, sometimes, the longer that a business person has been operating in that main, in that channel perhaps that he’s been operating in, perhaps the less flexible that we become. So, we need people around us. We need what is called like “a 360 evaluation.” Lee: A 360. Charles: A 360. So, we take two or three close friends of yours and we say, “Okay. We know what Lee’s strengths are, but what are his weaknesses? Could you give him some input? If you could tell him anything to his face, what would you say to him?” So, they provide that input and I’ll tell you what. There’s...

Lee: Amen. I know there’s people watching right now, and you may say in your heart, “What’s this got to do with me in business? We’re in a business world. This is a tangible thing.” Let me tell you something. Everything with God, when you read the Bible, if we keep God in the equation even though you can’t see God, He’s there. If you mix God into your business, your business will explode with blessings. So, I want to let you know; bring these two together. As God has moved in Brother Charles’ left, I want you to pay close attention here. He brings this together; bringing this together and locking it together. The Bible says that we’re on body, but you see several bodies all over the world. There’s millions of people that love Jesus and they’re the Body of Christ. But see, they’re spiritually brought together. Even though you...

Introduction The International Coalition of Apostles (ICA), founded in 1999, now counts over 500 members. Membership requires nomination by at least two active ICA members, presuming that peer-level apostles are the most qualified to recognize fellow apostles. This statement has been processed with ICA members over a two year period and it is now issued as an official consensus statement. Certain ICA members may hold varying opinions regarding some of the details, but there is agreement on the general thrust and essence of this statement. Definition An apostle is a Christian leader gifted, taught, commissioned, and sent by God with the authority to establish the foundational government of the church within an assigned sphere of ministry by hearing what the Spirit is saying to the churches and by setting things in order accordingly for the extension of the kingdom of God.

Why do some prayers of business people go unanswered?

The first explanation is "are we in known sin?" This may seem the most simple and obvious. However, sin is likened in the Bible to leaven. Leaven cannot be seen but has an affect of "puffing up" or causing the bread to rise -seemingly on it's own. That is what sin does for us; it puffs us up or causes us to rise in pride. What does pride do to us? It blinds us (like the Apostle Paul on the road to Damascus) and causes destruction; Scripture says that pride comes before a fall, Prov. 16:18. ...

Word of the Lord for 2010 and The Next Decade

Published January 6th, 2010. WISE Ministries International and Tree if Life International Publishing the following word is risky at best. It is the most sobering word I have ever received. I have been praying about the word - even wanting to withhold its release. But I have asked the Lord for some confirmations and they have come. Please pray about the word and ask the Lord to speak to you about it. There seems to be a tendency in the prophetic of-late to not “upset the apple cart” and to be flowery and upbeat. We feel that this is a time to be responsible and to be sober and to call the times (and the fight) like we see it. {{{silver|gold}}} The word focuses on the “Seven Mountains” of culture as referenced in Micah 4 and Isaiah 2. The word is in no special order so please read it...
