Creating the Culture

How do I take what I see at Bethel to my church? What do I do if my pastor doesn’t want that home? How do I create the culture I am looking for? In this practical video, Brandon Lake shares how his church grew in revival and gives practicals for how to experience a revival in your own church and build the culture you want to see.

Introduction:

  • “Leading a team to push for more, how to turn up the spiritual temperature in a climate where it’s been set for you.”

  • Brandon gives the students an idea of what his church is like at Sea Coast to give some context for where he is sharing from. 

“God is always moving.” 

  • Brandon shares a story of his music director who was healed of an unknown disease. 

  • Brandon shares that “...when you experience something like that you can’t go back...” and how the healings did not stop there. 

  • Brandon shares that in the best way Holy Spirit wrecked their church and they did not know what to do with that and have started to make some adjustments.

  • Brandon shares that he wants “His plan” and not his own.

  • Brandon shares stories about miracles that have happened in regards to healing at his church and on tour with Bethel Music.

  • Brandon shares that “you can experience those things in your church. I really believe that you can.”

  • Brandon talks about how “God is always moving” and how we can get in the way and stop it. 

  • “Hunger is so important.”

  • “Will you literally do anything He tells you?”

  • “Are you giving the people, in your church, [...] what they want in a service or are you giving God what He wants?” 

  • Brandon talks about having persevering faith.

  • “If you want to experience a move of God you’ve got to realize that it starts with you in your own personal revival.”

  • Brandon reads a quote by John Wesley that says, “Light yourself on fire with passion and people will come from miles to watch you burn.” “Are you burning?”
