Martin Luther “A cobbler, a smith, a farmer, each has the work in the office of his trade, consecrated Priests and Bishops.”
Redeem your mind-set.  Your vocation is a Holy calling.  WORK = WORSHIP  Bring a fresh joy to your world.

Genesis 2:15  “Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend (serve) and keep (guard) it.”  God created us to work.   Work is given as a gift.    Work is meant to be a blessing.            

Genesis 3:17-19  “Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life.”

Ephesians 4:11-13  “… He Himself gave … apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;”

John Garfield (Author “Releasing Kings”)
“The reformation of Calvin and Luther gave us access to the presence of God. This reformation is an invitation to co-labor with the Father and play our role in building the Kingdom.”

The revelation of salvation is that Jesus is King and Lord.
The revelation of Kingdom is that He is King of kings and Lord of lords.

This reformation is the equipping and releasing of saints into their mountain — changing nations.

In 1975, Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade, and Loren Cunningham, founder of Youth With a Mission, had lunch together in Colorado. God simultaneously gave each of these change agents a message to give to the other. During that same time frame Francis Schaeffer was given a similar message.

That message was that if we are to impact any nation for Jesus Christ, then we would have to affect the seven spheres, or mountains of society that are the pillars of any society. These seven mountains are business, government, media, arts and entertainment, education, the family and religion.

In essence, God was telling these three change agents where the battlefield was. It was here where culture would be won or lost. Their assignment was to raise up change agents to scale the mountains and to help a new generation of change agents understand the larger story.

Isaiah 2:2  “Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the LORD’s house Shall be established on the top of the mountains, And shall be exalted above the hills; And all nations shall flow to it.”

In Him.”

Ecclesiological  Eph 3:9-10     Administration Of Plan
“…and to bring to light what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things; so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places.”

Jesus — Reformer John 12:46-47
“I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.”

Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory”

Ephesians 3:21  “…to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”

Colossians 1:27 (AMP)  “To whom God was pleased to make known how great for the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ within and among you, the Hope of [realizing the] glory.”
