"Current location: "


        One of the greatest apps for the iPhone 4 is the maps app. This app gives you the wherewithal to navigate thru unfamiliar territory effortlessly, without struggling with a paper map or even worse asking directions from someone at a bus stop on the side of the road, who may have never driven anywhere in their life. That works great doesn't it? All one has to know is the address or name of their destination, type in current location, and simple as that just follow the blue dot.


Current location is the key to final destination. You can't know where you're going, without first knowing where you are. We are a part of a generation that has no idea of where we came from, don't know where they are. The result, they have no idea in which direction to go. How can you know where you're going, if you don't know where you are? Current location is the prerequisite for knowing where you're going. We've never been so without direction as right now. Hosea 12:13
13 and by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.


Where there is no prophet, the people have no direction, because there's no one to tell them where they are. We need prophets who will give us a brutal assessment of where are right now. Our nation is backslidden. We have turned our back on God. This generation calls right wrong and wrong right; we call light darkness and darkness light. We are lost! When you're lost that means we don't know where we are. How can you know which direction to steer if you don't know where you are?
We need men. We need visionaries. Proverbs 29:18


18 where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.


No vision=no visionary=no leader=no direction. You're leader gives your direction. So by a prophet God led them out. If you're going to come out of the bondage your soul is in, you'd better get to the Man of God and let him lead you.

God Keep Me Stirred


In Acts 17:15, when Paul arrived in the city of Athens his spirit was stirred in him. If there has ever been an hour that we as the true church need to be stirred it is in this hour. The past two weeks took me to the nations of Israel and Jordan. This was life changing in that walking in the footsteps of Jesus, and reliving his miracles in so many places, was a highlight of my life.
But I would say more life changing than that would be the fact that in the country of Jordan, the population is 97% Muslim. An even more staggering truth is that 35% of the country’s population is 15 years of age and younger. Wow. 5200 schools, they have to go to school in two shifts so that every student can have a seat. What's even more disturbing is that the presence of the Apostolic church is nowhere to be noticed. Myself and Bro. and Sis. Johnny King sat in Starbucks in the mall of the city of Amman (named after Lots son/Grandson), and saw a rather interesting occurrence, that being the Starbucks, that is Jewish owned, was almost completely occupied by Muslims. In this 5 story mall in Amman, Jordan, were thousands of young men and women, mostly teens who I believe are ready for the True Church to come into that area and have the greatest revival the world has ever seen. What do we need to do this?


Is Money the answer to that question? Is education the answer to that question? Is religion or Denomination the answer to that question? I think not.



The answer is a man. God just needs a man to go. God give us men. Someone who will go regardless of the problems of money, or lack of eloquence, or lack of skill, all we need is a man called of God who is willing to GO!

The Steps of Jesus-Part I


        I have just returned from Israel, and Jordan. This trip was a highlight of my life. Even more special was having the opportunity to preach on the Sea of Galilee. Jesus spent the majority of his time on earth around the Sea of Galilee. 11 of his 12 disciples were all chosen personally by Jesus around the Sea of Galilee, the only one who wasn't from this area was Judas, who betrayed Jesus.

The Sea of Galilee, Sea of Tiberius, Lake of Gennessret, and other names are synonymous. This body of water is fed from the north by the River Jordan, and is emptied on the south also by the river Jordan. To the east of The Sea of Galilee are the Mongolian heights, also known as the Gadarenes.

After Jesus came from the west side of the Sea of Galilee, he went to Gadara, and met a demoniac; whose name was legions, for his demons were many. Jesus cast out his demons into a herd of swine, which then ran off these steep cliffs into the Sea of Galilee and drowned, this upset many of the town’s people.

This sea is not very big at all. While looking out of my Hotel window in Tiberius, there's not a shoreline that cannot be seen. This to me is intriguing, because how could the disciples have feared for their lives in Mark 4:30 in such a short period of time?

This is revelatory to me, in that it really doesn’t take us long at all to lose faith in God, when troubles arise. Look at this text, Jesus had just finished preaching one of his greatest messages to humanity, and a few minutes later, the disciples feared for their lives. How many times has this happened to us? How many times have we received a word from God, only to walk away, and fear for our existence?

The message is, Faithful is he who promised, who is able also to perform.

A Non-communicative Generation


There's something inherently wrong with a society that would rather text than talk!



This is a non-communicative generation. We as Apostolics should be outgoing people that set forth a precedent to others around us as Christians who always have a kind word to speak. We are losing our communication skills. We are losing our people person skills. We are losing our outgoing personality skills. The Bible said in Proverbs 25:11, “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver”. We need more than ever, "fitly SPOKEN words"!
Where have our communication skills gone to?

We are producing a lethargic, non-communicative, apathetic generation, Why?

We have raised a generation of dummies who can't communicate! We have raised a society filled with cowards who can't take a no! And they manipulate whoever, until they get a yes.


We could name a host of other problems with this generation, but I want to tell you why these problems exist…
Soft headed preaching, that has left a vacuum in our society filled by government intrusion. Preachers we had better have a revival in the Apostolic church, before it is too late! Parents, get behind Your Pastor today, and force your children to follow you, as you follow your Pastor, as he follows Christ.

Your Servant,
Rev. Tony Spell
