Raising and Mentoring Disciples
Wow! Recently I had a real ‘moment’ with God.
I was contemplating the implications of age, and the fact that I will be what I used to consider ‘old,’ on my next birthday.
Actually, I’ve been considered ‘old’ for a few years now. None of us know how much time we have left, but, as both of my siblings are already well into their eighties, I’m hoping for a few more years yet.
It was while contemplating all of this, that The LORD spoke very clearly to me.
I understood The LORD to say, “Its time to pass on the knowledge you have to those younger than yourself. It’s time to train up the next generations!”
I asked exactly what He meant by this. The LORD said, “You, and those of your generation, must learn to pass on the inheritance you have received.”
I was a little concerned at this as my mind raced away to wrong conclusions, but, He added something so important to me when He said, “Don’t stop what you are already doing, but make time to teach and train the rising generation.”
He knows I love to minister one on one, especially as that was my early ministry training ground.
The LORD continued, “Gather those around you, to mentor and train them.
Raise the next generation of Peters, Pauls, Elijahs, and even Stephens (the martyr).
Raise the new Kuhlman, or Wigglesworth, or Clement.
Teach them — help them — mentor them, and watch them grow and flourish too, as I help you to help them.
This rising generation will need to be raising more disciples than you can even imagine in the coming outpouring of My Spirit,” says The LORD.
As these thoughts have been in my thinking for a while now, I am prompted to say that I’m ready to train and mentor a small group — if the demand is there?
Postscript
Praise God! This post drew a lot of attention, which was split about 50/50 between those encouraging and those hungry for more! Hallelujah \o/
I have received well over 50 comment responses [on Facebook] from at least 14 nations world wide — so this post is addressed to those who responded expressing interest.
I will probably begin with Six Live Sessions on the prophetic over a six week period. I will probably start around 12 midday British time [GMT] — that will be early for America, but late evening for Australia and New Zealand!
From there I will be able to select a smaller mentoring group going forward. At the same time, Linda and I are trying out a LIVE Healing Group over the same period. We will also see where that leads.
If you are among those who want some sort of teaching and mentoring, especially healing of prophetic, then please let me know if you are up for this?

He has also operated Healing Rooms, and worked with deliverance teams, all with his wife, Linda. Happily now doing whatever The LORD asks of them! Founder, with wife Linda, of their ministry The Upper Room Encounter.
