ALC KC 3-Day Gathering - Fall 2024

Announcing  -  4th annual ALC KC 3-Day Gathering 2024

Dates - Oct 10-12, 2024

Registration – FREE   Please RSVP

Dear ALC friends

Intro

Each of our previous 3-Day Gatherings has raised the water level for us and created new paradigms of encounter.  We have emphasized flowing with Holy Spirit in the Heavenlies as agenda number one.  As a result, we’re all eager to meet together to share our experiences and our enthusiasm with each other.  You are invited to join us as we rally around these amazing discoveries and compelling testimonies.  Please RSVP

Objective

We’re extremely excited about what God is awakening in all of our hearts regarding our new creation identities and ascended life inheritances.  A new day is dawning upon us!  It’s truly changing our hearts, our practices, our vocabulary and the way we function in our world around us.  It’s revolutionary! Most of us have enjoyed the discoveries of many past movements of God… and they’ve all been amazingly GOOD!  But this new day is epic… a new age is emerging.

It's becoming a consensus that the body of Christ is crossing a major threshold in history... in short, we're entering a new age.  Many are finding our hearts rallying to not only get familiar with this new era in God's calendar, but to be numbered among those who help to usher it in!  

To usher it in will require 1) Forming, which is when we are given Heavenly revelations and concepts and they are 'conceived' in us, 2) Framing it with our upgraded understanding, vocabulary and declarations, and 3) Filling it with 'trophies' of effectiveness and fruitfulness.  You might call this 'architecting an age'.  And that is exactly what we intend to do in our private lives and in our corporate gatherings!

Our whole objective will be to engage and activate the Heavenly places - in concept, word and deed.  This ‘above-the-line’ realm is so exciting!  You watch, we’re going to be pleasantly surprised by some exhilarating freedoms and over-the-top experiences!!  We’ll likely laugh until our sides ache… and we’ll probably need a case of Kleenex tissues for those tender times.  Most of us will have first-time Heavenly experiences that will be forever etched in our memories.

Worship

Our worship times will be reflective of worshiping IN Heaven versus TO Heaven.  We will lay aside our past sin consciousness in exchange for enjoying the liberating and empowering realities of our royal identity and righteousness-consciousness in Him.  While being in Heaven, our spontaneous singing and songs of the Lord will be anchored in the Throne room environment.  In that environment we’ll worship and prophesy with the same confidence that Jesus spoke… because we’ve HEARD!  We may 1) lavish adoration on Him, we may 2) prophesy whatever Heaven’s agenda is in that moment, we may 3) soar through the Heavens or earth in a Holy Spirit led mission, or we may 4) sing Father’s song over each other.

Activations

We’ll engage with lots of activations to exercise our faith and engage with our spirit man. The aim is to bring our soul-man into alignment with the realities that our spirit-man is currently enjoying - right now.  So, we have some strategic activations… and some fun ones.  We recommend that you unbuckle your seat belt and get ready to go somewhere you’ve never been.  It's the best! Jesus and Holy Spirit are the best tour Guides.

What kinds of activations?

     · Entering Jesus, the Door – John 10:9

     · Acclimating to, perceiving and engaging the Throne/Heavenly environment

     · Individual and corporate Heavenly experiences

     · Aligning our soul and body with our spirit and the Spirit of God

     · Corporate ascension – Ex 24:9-11

     · See Jesus in our physical room… ask Him questions

     · Introduction to our angel(s) – name and purpose/function

     · See angels in the room – with spiritual and natural eyes

     · Corporate collective hearing and responding to Heaven’s theme

     · Transfiguration – a fun beginning exercise – you’ll laugh

     · Engage with our spirit… view the beauty of our spirit

     · We’ll likely travel in the Spirit and explore other destinations

     · Look and listen for ‘treasure hunt clues’ to use in our Heavenly commissions

     · Instruction for how to make these Heavenly experiences relevant for children

     · Sketch your Heavenly home and travels – fun! 😊

Sharing

There will be some expository sharing where we lay out the Biblical soundness and precedence of our epic transition from below-the-line (earth-based Christianity) to above-the-line (Heaven-based sonship)  (Jn 3:13 and Col 3:1-3).  We realize that there are some trigger words and practices in our encounters that could potentially offend the mind, and we’ll try to dispel some of these.  But, since many of us have been exploring this exciting frontier for several years, we won’t spend a lot of time re-laying all the elementary Scriptures for each point.  Hundreds of short thematic videos on our ALC video channel cover many of these topics.  Search them by topic… and they’re all free!  Help yourself.

We’ve had many powerful watershed experiences over the last few years… and we intend to share as many of these testimonies as time will allow.  As we share testimonies, we’ll try to ‘return’ to the ‘fever’ of the ‘moment of impact’.  O boy, I can just feel it now, it’s gonna be the best kind of messy!!  As you know, in the retelling of a testimony, there is a strong potential for faith to arise sufficient for it to happen again. More activations and impartations will spring out of those power-packed moments.

For all who RSVP, we will email you a collection of resource documents and notes that you may use during our gathering… or for later study purposes.  On our ALC website is a large list of online videos, podcasts and audio resources from many anointed ministries.

Vision casting

Where do we go from here?  What is God doing?  How do we steward it?  What is my part?  Will the larger Church of Jesus catch this?  What about ‘kick-back’?  Is there a group near me?  What about spurious doctrines and practices?  Is being a ‘mystic’ Biblical?  What about the questionable practices or failures of other mystics?  Are we in a new age?  Is it OK to say the word – new age?  What does it mean?  How can I know what changes to expect?  How can I prepare for them?

These questions and many more will be addressed in such a way so as to equip us when we return to our normal lives.
