participation the vision of carmel city church
ATTITUDE | APPLICATION | ADAPTABILITY The ATTITUDE of Increase is to keep our eyes on the vision and not the circumstances that may confront us. To keep the mission before us and to not stop or become distracted until the mission has been accomplished. Belt of Truth and the breastplate of righteousness. Belief determines behaviour, behaviour reveals morality.
participation the vision of carmel city church
ATTITUDE | APPLICATION | ADAPTABILITY The APPLICATION of Increase is to take what we know on a local level and begin to apply it globally, begin to do what we do in Bristol in every place that God takes us, to be willing to GO and be part of the greater picture. Gospel of Peace and the Shield of Faith. The GO of the Gospel and creating shelters of God’s Grace.
participation the vision of carmel city church
ATTITUDE | APPLICATION | ADAPTABILITY The ADAPTABILITY of Increase is to begin to think globally, to break free from a mentality of small thinking and move into the realm of big believing. It is to change the truths we hold that are limiting and begin to apply God’s truths of limitless possibility. Helmet of Salvation and the Sword of the Spirit. Renewing our minds to the Word in doing the impossible.

INCREASE THE INTENSITY OF OUR INFLUENCE THE ARMOUR OF GOD GIVES US THE TOOLS AND STRATEGY TO BREAKDOWN THE MINDSETS OF SECULARISM AND ESTABLISH THE BIBLICAL VALUES OF GOD’S WORD. AND JESUS CAME AND SPOKE TO THEM, SAYING, “ALL AUTHORITY HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH. (MATTHEW 28:18 NKJV)

KEEP DOING WHAT WE KNOW TO DO IF IT IS WORKING THEN LEAVE IT ALONE, IF IT IS BROKEN THEN FIX IT, IF IT NEEDS ATTENTION THEN MAKE YOURSELF AVAILABLE AND IF YOU ARE NOT INVOLVED THEN THE QUESTION IS WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? IN LUKE 19 JESUS SAID FOR US TO DO BUSINESS UNTIL HE COMES, WE ARE TO MAKE WARFARE AGAINST THE FORCES OF DARKNESS AND ESTABLISH WHAT BELONGS TO GOD.
