BTDS CURRICULA: Rhema

"Behold, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared. Pay attention to him and listen to what he says. Do not rebel against him; he will not forgive your rebellion, since my Name is in him. If you listen carefully to what he says and do all that I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and will oppose those who oppose you. My angel will go ahead of you and bring you into the land [that I promised you], ...and I will wipe [your enemies] out." -- EXODUS 23:20-23

What Is YOUR Purpose in Life?

Your divine purpose is your God-ordained "life mission." It includes the primary things you were created to accomplish during your lifetime on the earth...

Functioning in your divine purpose is your key to joy, inner peace and personal fulfillment in life. But, it is possible to be aware of your "cross" - your divine mission in life - and NOT be "enlightened" on how to go about it or Whom you should follow!

Jesus instructed us to "pick up our cross AND follow Him." Not only must we accept responsibility for finding and functioning in our individual divine purposes, but we must carefully follow His lead (His wisdom) step by step along the journey. This is the pathway to most fruitfulness, and yielding good fruit that will remain forever! Keeping in step with the Spirit of God as He leads you through the life you are created for is the key to living supernaturally and experiencing the fulness of what God has in store for you...

Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers have been given to us as "ministry gifts" to equip each of us as individuals to do exactly what we've been called to do.

It is important to be continually "fed" by each of these ministry gifts throughout your spiritual journey if you are to be a strong, growing, healthy, well-rounded disciple.

During your season of rapid transformation, you will be exposed to "5-fold ministries" in each of these categories. Depending on your branch and phase of training, some equiping ministries will play a much larger role than others, but at certain points you will be introduced to other ministries and organizations that may be instrumental in broadening your scope for the future.

For a partial list of ministries you will have opportunity to be enhanced by, click here.

Each branch of training includes transformation "systems" that affect every arena of life: Spirit, Soul (mind/intellect, emotions, will/volition), Body, Property (including Finance), Business (vocation/occupation), Ministry (service to God &/or mankind) and Relationships (including Social aspects). Therefore, you will be introduced to enterprises that can greatly enhance these arenas thru quality exposure, education and inspiration.
