Loyalty to leaders.

" ... One of the things
autonomy has destroyed is the Godly sense of loyalty to the preachers that
have raised up the other preachers. That, in turn, has destroyed our
fellowship. I want to be clear on this record; I don't believe we have to
have this formal structure, that we did have. I believe we have to have the
unity that we did have. I believe we have to have a brotherhood leadership.
You cant have something without a leadership. I mean, we've been trying that
for a long time, it doesn't work. In a family, what if the man doesn't lead
? SOME of you know what that's like. What if your Bible talk leader / church
leadership doesn't lead. If you don't even have a brotherhood leadership, it
ain't gonna go anywhere. You know what's really sad, is when the autonomy
gave birth to autonomy in foreign nations. It allowed nations, who hate
Americans ~~~and a lot of our fathers in faith are Americans, that's just
the way God orchestrated it---just like a lot of the apostles were from Galilee,
it just happened to be ~~~Umm what happened is that humanism crept into the
church and people said ' wait a minute, I hate Americans, my COUNTRY hates
Americans, i don't want some American discipling me -- and THAT'S what we
got right now folks. You know, I appreciate Danny Brisbois, right here. Now,
I I kid him a little bit, cause he's from QUEBEC -- now they're the people
that want to separate from the rest of Canada. They want to have their own
little Kingdom happening right there with, in their opinion, God's
language... FRENCH. There's something in man that wants his 'own little
kingdom'. There's something very destructive about that. Danny's had to take
a LOT of flack, just coming out to Portland ~ but get this, being discipled
by Elena and me. He's gotten a lot of flack. You know who he's gotten a lot
of flack from? The brothers in Canada. Paul we're a CANADIAN FELLOWSHIP,
what are you doing, being discipled by an American.. and KIP, of ALL people.
Now, Danny and I are the best of buddies. But you know something? When Danny
started getting the criticism, he started backing off. Now, the top brothers
in Montreal were like " DUDE, you gotta get back in there. You cant
back off Kip. Look at the blessings that we got, we got a sold out group of
disciples. So, Danny and I had a little talk in Jesus an he goes "AMEN
brother, I am with you again." We can laugh about it, because it's all
healed. But, you know, we got a lot of guys, that don't want to have that
kind of tight relationship with other guys. See basically, they're trying to
be every bodies friend...being every bodies friend instead of being loyal to
the people that brought them to the dance. "
The condition of the IOC
churches and the politics being played.

Imitate
the leaders. Imitate Kip
Preach imitation.....The people
that are against us are deceived in their sin. ....Paul pulls the ultimate
loyalty card.....imitate your leader.
....right here we see one
evangelist sending another evangelist into the church and saying guys this is
the way to get things fixed. You know, I'm a human being, I've made my
mistakes but if God were to send me in any church because of God and his word I
believe I could fix that church. Now if you got autonomous churches
though, that got the walls up that no one can go in, who can fix them? One of
the things people lament with me the most in my emails and ah conversations, Kip
why don't we have the unity we did before? If we have all this freedom to love,
where is the unity? It's because we don't have evangelists calling the churches
to the same teaching everywhere in every church. Now if we are going to be a
bible movement, and I believe that is what you guys want to have, amen? Then you
better have men that teach the same thing everywhere in every church. that's the
pattern. So, Salt Lake has some problems, I say, ok I can fix that problem, I'm
going to send a man that's imitated my faith, that I've trained. A true son of
the faith. Jay Hernandez. Jay's not perfect, but he's trained. Got an awesome
wife, we've put a little mission team around him of awesome disciples. And
they've gone down there guys, and in a church that hadn't had a baptism, now
let's get this down guys, hadn't had a baptism for 2 and half years! And now
will have their third in one month. Why? Because it's an overseeing evangelist
that sends an evangelist on in there who preaches the word, and when you preach
the word, God gives the increase, are you with me church?"
