KINGDOM MANDATE: Establishing and Expanding the Kingdom of God, “On Earth as in Heaven”
The Abiding Glory International Ministry Base serves as a multi-faceted ministry “hub”, which encompasses a community of ministries and organizations united together for one common purpose.
Our purpose is to Establish and Expand the Kingdom of God by raising up and equipping an army of believers to know God intimately and live authentic Kingdom lifestyles, demonstrating a supernatural culture of the kingdom of God, “on earth as it is in heaven.” We are endeavoring through this ministry base to create a model of God's Kingdom culture invading worldly culture and impacting, transforming and discipling nations. Every ministry and organization involved in this base plays an integral part in preparing and releasing a people to demonstrate the goodness and power of God to this world!
We believe that every believer should be equipped for the work of ministry and trained to use their gifts and talents to establish and expand the kingdom of God in their specific sphere of influence. God is raising up an army of believers to be strategic influencers and fill the earth with His glory. The following ministries, organizations and “arms” of this Base work together to see this vision fulfilled:
The Habitation is our local church. The Habitation Church serves as a vehicle to pastor, disciple and train those that feel God has called them to devote themselves to the Abiding Glory Ministry Base as their home ministry base and church community. Our passion is to train and equip believers to live a supernatural lifestyle of intimacy and power with God in an atmosphere of community and fellowship and we believe this starts with individuals and with families. If you are looking for a place for you, your kids, or your entire family to call home and be equipped in your relationship with God then we welcome you to The Habitation!
Abiding Glory hosts regular conferences, gatherings, and intensive training schools every year. Our events gather people from all across the United States and even the world. The mandate of these gatherings is to train and equip the saints to intimately know their God and do great exploits for the Kingdom of God in their spheres of influence.
The Media Ministry of Abiding Glory is constantly endeavoring to stay on the cutting edge of modern technology and use whatever media outlets are possible in order to spread and release the message of the gospel of the Kingdom as “heaven-saturated” media to the far reaches of the globe. AGM's media department includes resources such as Teaching CDs and DVDs, Podcasts, Books and Training Manuals, Intensive Training Schools, LIVE and On Demand Webcasting of Events and Schools, MP3s, Photography, Music Cds, WebTV, a Major Network TV Show on GOD TV, and much more to come...
The Love War is the Youth & Young Adult Ministry Arm of Abiding Glory. The Love War is a ministry that is focused on training, equipping, activating, and releasing youth and young adults that truly Love, thereby establishing a culture of the kingdom by training them in the supernatural, strengthening their character, and releasing love revivalists who operate in demonstrations of God's power throughout the earth. The cry of love cannot be silenced! Make a sound! I Cor 13:8
Abiding Glory Kingdom Network is an apostolic, relational, kingdom-minded network of ministers, ministries and churches, partnering together to fulfill the Kingdom Mandate of “Establishing and Expanding the Kingdom of God, On Earth as it is in Heaven”. The purpose of the Abiding Glory Kingdom Network is to build a supernatural wineskin, or structure, that facilitates the gathering, relationship building, equipping and infusing of the Kingdom Mandate DNA into leaders, ministries, churches, etc...
Raising up and educating young people to use their God-given talents and abilities to establish and expand the Kingdom of God, on earth as it is in heaven, by infiltrating and influencing every sphere of society and culture. Our mission is to partner with parents to educate, prepare, and develop the “whole student” (spirit, soul and body), within a culture of God's Kingdom, through spiritual, academic, physical and social education so that they can maximize the gifts and talents that God has given them and use those abilities to become leaders in our world and infiltrate and influence society with God's Kingdom.
Abiding Glory is in the process of launching a full-time Bible School in Knoxville, TN with the goal of equipping the saints to intimately know their God, do great exploits, and establish and expand the Kingdom of God in their spheres of influence. We believe that every believer is a minister of the Kingdom of God and we desire to help you discover your destiny and calling and equip you to fulfill it. Our training focuses equally on instruction as well as impartation and activation.
(In the Future we want to see the Kingdom Institute expanded into the following areas of training:)
We believe in making global impact. On a number of occasions Jesus commanded His disciples to make disciples of the nations and take the gospel of the kingdom to Jerusalem, to Judea and Samaria, and even to the ends of the earth. We see this as a commission to impact not just our city and our region but also to impact the nations with the goodness of God's Kingdom. Abiding Glory Missions is involved in all sorts of outreach such as ministering to orphans and widows through the building of orphanages and entire communities; feeding the hungry; outreach to the nation of Israel; reaching the lost through international crusades; street ministry; pulling women and children out of modern day sex slavery and restoring them to a position of freedom and wholeness; and much more...
The church should be a “voice” for social justice in the earth. Psalm 149 says that it is the honor of all God's saints to execute the judgment of God that has already been written. Saints should live lives that stand for righteousness and justice and use their voice, time and finances to support justice and righteousness in the land, thereby executing God's judgment on works of darkness. Abiding Glory is actively involved in the social justice issues of our times and seeing the goodness, righteousness and justice of God's Kingdom prevail in the earth!
The Oak Initiative is a movement to help unite, mobilize, equip, and activate Christians to be the salt and light they are called to be by having practical, workable solutions to the world's problems. To do this, Christians must be informed and proactive in engaging in the great issues of the times with boldness, courage, and resolve to see righteousness, justice, and truth prevail.
Cry For Justice is an organization taking action against Modern Day Sex Slavery in America and abroad. Awareness and Restoration are two of the main focuses. Through the avenue of Media and traveling engagements, Cry For Justice is on a campaign to educate the world about the reality of modern day sex slavery. Cry For Justice also works directly with women and children that have been rescued from the sex traffic trade in an effort to see them fully healed and restored.
SOZO Center is a Healing and Wholeness Center that partners with Abiding Glory and serves as a teaching, equipping and comprehensive healing center for healing of the body, soul and spirit. At this point in time The SOZO Center is a regional counseling and deliverance center based in Knoxville, TN. Future plans include implementing every facet of the word “sozo” into The SOZO Center, including divine healing, professionals in nutrition and physical health and teaching and equipping that furthers wholeness.
