clean panties campaign

Ladies, are your panties clean?

If you answered yes, you are blessed with a small gift that would mean the WORLD to a homeless woman or girl.

Team Jesus Magazine has teamed up with Girlfriends Pray™ to promote the Clean Panties Campaign | Are Your Panties Clean? to raise awareness and secure donations of packs of panties for homeless women and girls.

are your panties cleanStarting today through the end of May 2016, you can donate packs of panties in all styles (briefs, hipsters, bikini, etc.) in sizes 5 and up. Give a woman who may be hit with hard times or living on the street the peace of mind and confidence that comes with clean panties.

Your tax-deductible donation, valued at approximately $10-$15 (for example, the cost of a 6-pack of panties and U.S. Postal Service Flat Rate shipping), will bless a woman with what many women take for granted everyday – the privilege (and many options) to wear clean panties. We have heard the testimonies of women who are so grateful for the small token of clean panties – won’t you join us?

212 conference 2016 part 2

Continuing our coverage of 212° Conference 2016, Part 1…

It’s All About Perspective

By the evening service of Day 2, it was time to shift our seats to change our perspective. And there was no better usher or guide than Pastor Dr. Dharius Daniels.

How often does the body of Christ embrace the breakthrough rather than the go through? Are we ready for the losses? How many of us want the blessings, but not the haters that come with the “come up”? Was God setting Job up for suffering or abundant success?

Day 3

With hearts richly filled with two days of the outpouring of God’s Word and His love, the focus began to shift to the ‘how’ – how do we maintain our faith in this walk with Christ?

The First Lady of Redemption, Pastor Hope Carpenter, shared practical teaching on the importance of spending time reading, memorizing, and meditating on the Word of God.

The Sound of Worship

Speaker sessions ended on a high note with the ministry of Word, worship, and laughter by John Gray, Associate Pastor at Lakewood Church.  Attendees didn’t know whether to laugh, praise, or take notes as Pastor John Gray took the stage, who’s graced in shifting from serious moves of God, to the light-hearted medicine of laughter.

Proclaiming the open season for Team Jesus from Revelation 3:8, Gray asks:

What if you were 1 worship, leap, cry away from everything you’ve been praying for, everything in your life changing?

 

Bloody Win LIVE Recording with Tye Tribbett

team jesus mag with tye tribbettIt’s amazing how God continues to bless Tye Tribbett with the creativity and anointed passion to create music for the people of God. His new album, Bloody Win, will feature an eclectic mix of praise and WARship songs destined to be your new theme song(s) and life anthem.

We were honored to experience the culmination of prayer, hard work and preparation of each singer and musician during the live recording. Your ears are not going to believe the sheer beauty and genius of the words and power of this music, and the execution of the band! Pure ridiculous! Keep an eye on our future full article on Bloody Win when the album in official released.

No More Living Life at 211°

So Team – where there’s steam, there’s power.

Take inventory of your walk with Christ. Are you settling for life at 211 degrees? Sure, you’re hot, but do you have any power?

If you attended 212° Conference this year, we encourage you to keep your fire burning! Keep your walk with Christ “lit” on a steady boil, and exercise the power and authority given to us by God.

If you were unable to attend, catch the session with Pastor Samuel Rodriguez, or get a copy of the conference on CD or DVD.  We look forward to seeing you at 212Conf in 2017, meet us there!

Nobody told us what to expect. Probably because there are no words.

212° Conference is one of those conferences you just have to experience for yourself. Cliché? Perhaps. But we double-dare you to show up in 2017 with an expectant heart.

That’s what Team Jesus Mag did last week at #212Conf 2016, and we did not leave empty-hearted!

212°: The Point Where Change Happens

We were honored to be invited media guest for 212 Conference, May 4th-6th 2016, by Apostle Ron and Hope Carpenter, the gracious pastors of Redemption in Greenville, SC.  This year’s dynamic speakers included Pastors Samuel Rodriguez, Dharius Daniels, John Gray, Bishop Tony Miller, with amazing musical guests Tasha Cobbs, David and Nicole Binion, and Stephen and Lori Ward. The conference wrapped with the live recording of Tye Tribbett’s highly-anticipated “Bloody Win”.

In case you’re wondering, “What do the numbers 212 mean?” – 212° Fahrenheit is the boiling point of water. It is the point where water is changed into steam.

Thousands of attendees from 43 countries and online viewers experienced this metaphorical change – where God transforms you down to the molecular structure of your being, your thinking, your perspectives, and your spiritual outlook through the Word of God.

Day 1

The atmosphere for 212° was set long before Day 1, long before any guest speaker or artist took the stage.  From the parking lot to security to conference guides, Redemption volunteers were prepared, energized, welcoming – and passed all of our Christian event volunteer checkpoints.

212° attendees, who were wrapped around the outside of the building, would soon be greeted by cheers and high fives from volunteer staff.  The fruit of time spent in prayer and intercession for the conference was about to manifest.

As jumbo screens counted down to corporate worship, it becomes clear that 212° conference gives you a glimpse of heaven: All nations, all races worshipping and praising the true and living God.

Pastor Samuel Rodriguez and Tasha Cobbs

If there’s a worship leader in the body of Christ who’s gifted in breaking chains and setting the atmosphere for the Word of God – it’s Tasha Cobbs.  212° attendees were not only blessed by her ministry in praise and worship, but by her testimony.

Battling a diagnosis of a lump affecting her vocal chords, 212° was Cobbs’ first singing engagement in over 3 weeks. Through the miraculous healing power of Jesus Christ, the lump shrunk before the doctor’s eyes, and Cobbs was able to shout and sing with the voice of triumph:

“When I shout, I got angels that show up with miracles…The more I worship, the more I’m healed!”

With the atmosphere now ripe for a rich word, Pastor Samuel Rodriguez spoke from 1 Kings 19:19 – the plow and the mantle – when God totally shifts your life to a higher level of anointing. Attendees left that evening with a new mantle from God, never again to pick up the plows they once pushed:

Day 2

Dynamic couples who worship was a common thread throughout Day 2 of 212°, with Stephen and Lori Ward sharing in song before the morning sessions, and David and Nicole Binion that evening.

Apostle Ron Carpenter kicked the day off with Godly lessons about understanding the mind, imagination, and how to manage our thoughts:

The practical teachings of Bishop Tony Miller enlightened attendees to the importance of Zion, servant leadership, and the progression from being “blessers” to “builders”:

Bono: Why Isn’t “Church Music” More Honest and Real?

By

If there’s any book of the Bible where it feels as if the writer took a peek into your world and wrote about your life – it’s The Psalms.

King David lays the complexities of his life on the line – the joy, the pain, the deliverance from internal and external evil – all in total transparency, honesty, and realness. As a new believer/teammate, Psalms is one of the best, if not the best book of the Bible to begin a relationship with God, and build a prayer life.

What if “church music” artists, from gospel to contemporary christian music to traditional, took a page from David and got real about life and God in their music?

U2 lead singer, Bono, asks this question in this short documentary by Fuller Studio, where Bono and The Message Bible writer, Eugene Peterson, share their love and affinity for the book of Psalms with the release of Peterson’s The Psalms (from The Message).

Take a listen, and share your thoughts on Psalms and the need for our music to “tell the truth” and be more honest.

Does “church music” miss the mark on transparency and realness?

EXCLUSIVE: King Edward Long – “Work in Your Darkroom”

Teammate Spotlight: Edward “King Edward” Long, Jr.

Perhaps you’ve seen him in cameo appearances on Season 1 of Preachers of Atlanta. As a student or parent, perhaps you were impacted by his years of service as a Youth Pastor.  Or maybe you’re just an Atlanta Falcon “Dirty Bird” fan, who loved to “bow it in, bow it out” back in the day.

Team Jesus Magazine was honored to spend some time with teammate Edward “King Edward” Long, Jr., son of Bishop Eddie L. Long, senior pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, to chat about life, ministry, and his passion to not only serve Team Jesus, but to recruit new teammates to the Team!

Patience in Process

As Long shares, we are all under development. We don’t yet appear like God’s photographic vision of us. But as God patiently processes us in His secret place, the plans for our purpose and our greatness will be fully developed.

“I work in the darkroom”, says Long. “My darkroom is prayer, faith with works…making sure it’s right and it’s polished.”

For all those Dreamers on Team Jesus, or those who honor the support of others through thick and thin, King Edward’s newest singles are out now, “Dreams” and “Still Here”.  Staying true to his flavor of Christian rap called “TRAPspiration”, be sure to check out his early summer hit release, “Light”.

Team, support King Edward in prayer as God’s plans for his life unfold, and connect with him on all social media outlets @KiNGEDwardLong.

When Harriet Tubman Prays for $20

By

harriet tubman $20 bill

Today, the U.S. Treasury Department announces that abolitionist Harriet Tubman will in fact be the new face of the $20 bill. She boots former slave owner, Andrew Jackson, who has appeared on the bill since 1928.

In an effort to address gender imbalance in U.S. currency, Treasury Secretary, Jacob J. Lew, garnered months of public interest and opinion, including Women on $20s who lead the charge to put a women’s face on the $20 bill by the year 2020. A 10-week poll by the organization revealed America wanted Harriet, and the rest is (not-so-soon) history.

Harriet Tubman’s Confidence in the Voice of God

This announcement strikes us as not only historic and ground-breaking, but ironic in many ways. Not only will the picture of a former slave replace that of a slave owner on American currency, but have you read the story of Harriet Tubman praying for $20 to bring her parents out of bondage?

Harriet Tubman, a hero of freedom for slaves and women, was a co-worker with God throughout her courageous life. In the 1860’s, upon hearing of the suffering of the “old people” down south, she was guided by God to a gentleman’s office, who was a “friend of the slaves”, to ask for money for the rescue trip:

“How do you do, Harriet? What do you want?” was the first greeting.
“I want some money, sir.”
“You do! How much do you want?”
“I want twenty dollars, sir!”
“Twenty dollars! Who told you to come here for twenty dollars!”
“De Lord tole me, sir.”
“He did; well I guess the Lord’s mistaken this time.”
“No, sir; de Lord’s nebber mistaken! Anyhow I’m gwine to sit here till I get it.”
(Excerpt from “Harriet, The Moses of Her People”, by Sarah H. Bradford)

Harriet spent the entire day in that office waiting, sleeping, believing for the financial resources to free her parents. No doubt word of her identity and her self-less service spread among the strangers in and out of the office.

After vowing not to eat, drink, or leave the gentleman’s office until she got her $20, Harriet Tubman awakened to the promise fulfilled – strangers had contributed $60 dollars to her mission!

The Blessing of Abundantly Answered Prayer

Sometimes our prayer requests seem astronomical, a “big deal” to us. Even when we have the faith to believe, our human mindset cannot even fathom how God will provide.

Harriett Tubman was well aware – that’s the beauty of the God we serve. He’s an even bigger deal, and countless times more astronomical than our most dire need or challenge!

God answers prayers abundantly; God can do anything—far more than you could ever imagine, guess, or request in your wildest dreams! (Ephesians 3:20)

Can you imagine Harriet Tubman remembering her struggle for $20, only to look down at a $20 bill and see her own face?

Team, what prayer are you waiting on God to answer abundantly? Don’t be afraid to ask. Believe in faithful prayer. Be about God’s plans for you. God has your face on a blessing you’ve never imagined in your wildest dreams, too!

Azusa Now: The Call for Outpour at the 110th Anniversary of Azusa Street Revival in Los Angeles

azusa street

Followers of Jesus Christ will join together for Azusa Now at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on April 9, 2016, to proclaim the message of kingdom unity, prayer, and the breaking down of racial barriers.  The call is simple: “Come, Holy Spirit!” – just as the church experienced during the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at the Azusa Street Revival in 1906, led by William J. Seymour.

Registrations are well on their way to a 100,000+ capacity audience, with the Azusa Now team readied with plans for the overflow. The last time the Los Angeles Coliseum was filled to over capacity was the Billy Graham Crusade on September 8, 1963 with a record attendance of 134,254.

Denominational and racial boundaries have been broken across Catholic and Protestant churches, as well as African-American, Asian, Hispanic, and Caucasian populations who are all coming together for this event.

Azusa Now will be seen by millions around the world as it will be broadcast live in its entirety by GOD TV, with additional live and rebroadcast coverage provided by TBN, Juce TV and Daystar.

Azusa Now will be live streamed via the Internet at AzusaNow2016.com in five languages: English, Spanish, Korean, Chinese and Portuguese.

Continue prayers for souls won for Christ and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, Team Jesus.

The Stand Campaign: Standing Tall on Your Knees

By

the stand campaign atlanta

If you come looking for numbers, you’ve missed the point.

If you come expecting stage smoke and pyrotechnics, you’ve missed the point.

But if you come to the Stand Campaign looking to lift up the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, Jesus the Christ – you’re in the right place at the right time.

The war cry of the Stand Campaign | America Prays rumbled through Atlanta at the Georgia Dome on April 2nd. Presented by the Condrey Evangelistic Association’s own Cory (Coco Brother) and Joann Rosario Condrey, the national prayer rally encourages prayer for the nation and unity in the body of Christ.  Slated to reach all 50 U.S. states in 2016, the prayer rally is intentionally described as “The campaign that promotes Jesus Christ” in an effort to refocus America on Jesus.

Let the Prayers of the Righteous Avail

bishop otoo paula whiteThe modest, minimalistic stage and backdrop kept the focal point on an old rugged cross podium; the American flag hung flat and high above God’s people ready to humble themselves and pray.

Bishops and pastors from near and far, including Bishop Kibby Otoo, Pastor Paula White, Dr. Bernice King, Dr. Joseph Ripley, Pastor William Murphy III, Bishop Paul S. Morton, Pastor Wess Morgan, Pastor Kimberly Jones Pothier, Pastor Jamal Bryant, Dr. Craig Oliver, Pastor Andre Landers, Bishop Dale C. Bronner, Pastor Ron Carpenter, and Pastor Marc Pritchett, all took shifts unleashing the sword of the Word of God to lead thousands in continuous prayer over the 4-hour event. Praise and worship leaders, including a Stand Mass Choir comprised of local volunteer singers, lifted the name of Jesus in song and praise.

the stand campaign clint brown bishop mortonThe prayer rally transcended images of America’s racial divide, and offered a rare glimpse of kingdom citizens united as one. Imagine Bishop Kibby and Pastor Paula White in tag-team prayer warfare, or Clint Brown and Bishop Paul S. Morton on the mic together exhorting the room in worship. No race or gender. No title bigger than another’s. No egos stroked – just Jesus.

The Offer of Salvation and Baptism

“Life is not simple, but salvation is.” Pastor Ron Carpenter, shepherd of Redemption Greenville in South Carolina, opened the invitation to receive Jesus Christ with these 7 words, after a moving call for those who would pray in kneeling or prostrate fashion by Pastor Jamal Bryant. The prayer of salvation for those surrounding the stage didn’t take hours – simply the confession that Jesus is Lord, belief that God raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9) – sins were forgiven and the ultimate purpose of the Stand Campaign fulfilled.

Two above ground pools provided whosoever will the opportunity to be baptized on the spot in confession of dying to their old self and their new life in Christ.

Kneel to Win

the stand campaign atlantaThe burden for souls is not an easy burden to bear. The burden for America to turn back to Jesus is not an easy burden to bear. But as teammates on Team Jesus, we have a play call that says, “Bear one another’s burden.” (Galations 6:2)

So, take a stand on your knees, Team! The burden to win souls for Jesus Christ is a TEAM burden; when one teammate scores, the whole Team wins! [Tweet that!]

Let’s all continue to pray with and for the Condrey Evangelistic Association, and other teammates at the front of the battlefield for our Lord.
