.
- Part One: The Vision
- “One Message” — The Church has but one message: Who Jesus is and what He accomplished.
- At the Threshold of Glory — The power and glory of God will soon be seen.
- Arise, Shine! — The Presence of God is awaiting those who will receive Him and shine.
- “You Give Them Something to Eat” — Christ’s Presence is what is important—not our resources.
- The Intensifying Presence — The Presence of God will bring transformation and glory to His children, but wrath to the wicked.
- Part Two: The Presence of God
- In the Fulness of the Times — Appointed times of change are coming. Some will fulfill their destiny in Christ, while others will experience calamity.
- All Things In Christ — The Spirit of Christ will fill all creation as all things are consummated in Him.
- The Morning Star — We have been created for God’s glory. We can receive light and power through undistracted devotion toward God.
- The Sign — The Presence of God will come with visible glory.
- Part Three: Rise and Walk
- Freedom to Prisoners — God frees His people so that they can free others. His wrath destroys that which oppresses His people.
- Door of Hope — Deliverance starts with a restoration of hope.
- To Walk With God — Our peace, rest and security in the midst of dangerous times will come from training our perspective on what God is leading us to do, rather than on what circumstances appear to indicate. God’s focus is on building, not on what is being destroyed.
- Part Four: From Visitation to Habitation
- In a Time of Visitation — God delivers us to fulfill His purpose.
- Rising to the Stature of Christ — The character of Christ is the purpose of God for each of us.
- Surrender of the Vision-Keeper — Jesus must become Lord in our experience, not just our theology.
- A Sword Will Pierce Your Heart — Intimacy is not found in control, it is found in vulnerability and surrender.
- Follow Those Who Follow Christ — The cross leads to the experience of the resurrection life that manifests the Presence of Christ within.
- Those Who Stand Before God — God wants to teach us how to stand before Him in this place of surrender, service, and listening.
- Part Five: An Unveiled Face
- “Tell Francis I Miss Him” — We must esteem the glory that is here now and prepare for that which is to come.
- “For Dreams To Come True” — ...we all must wake up.
- An Unveiled Face — Our traditions cover and separate us from the Presence of God. This veil is removed when we turn toward the Lord.
- The River of God’s Pleasure — We bring pleasure to God when we give Jesus access to this world through our obedience.
- Standing Behind Our Wall — We create walls of fear and carnal attitudes that separate us from Christ.
- With the Glance of Your Eyes — If we really want His Presence, we must become vulnerable to Him.
