Biblical forms of Worship
Psalms 150
Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. 2. Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. 3. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. 4. Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. 5. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. 6. Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
Praise and worship is the only ministry that will continue throughout eternity. The scripture says that where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. God desires us to have great liberty in our relationship with him, and the greatest demonstration of our love for him is in our worship.
Therefore, it is important to understand the
true meaning of worship, through the scriptures, according to the original Hebrew language. Only as we seek to understand and practice such worship, can we as believers enter into the fullness of our LORD'S glorious presence. This is a mission of RMI.
Prophetic Worship Dance
Psalms 149:1-4
Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints. 2. Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. 3. Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. 4. For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
The word of God is filled with various expressions of worship. Within the ministries of RMI, one the worship expressions demonstrated is worship through prophetic dance which is a method of preaching the Word of God through motion. Worship is to flow from a heart of love, through a relationship of intimacy with the Lord.
International Missions
Mark 16:15,
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Matthew 28:19-20
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
It is the vision of RMI to reach the Nations of the earth with the message of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. Having already ministered in 11 countries outside the USA, we believe the Lord wants to open up many more countries to the preaching, and teaching of His word. Evangelism is also an important part of our vision. Along with the word of God, we also use creative teaching methods to bring forth a visual prophetic revelation, of understanding to the hearts of those the Lord allows us to minister to.
Discipleship/Training
Eph 4:11-13
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12. For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13. Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
For the Gospel message to continue from one generation to the next, it is essential that those who have come into a relationship with Christ be mentored in the things of God. RMI seeks to fulfill the mission of 'making disciples' via group teachings, home & church bible studies, conferences, and one on one encounters with those who desire to go deeper in their relationship with the LORD. The goal is to equip the saints that they may also go forth and minister, thus continuing the great commission which Christ gave to his Church.
Nursing Home (future ministry goal)
Matt 25:34-36
For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36. Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
It's the desire of RMI to be involved in ministering to the elderly through nursing home ministry. The goal of this type of outreach would be, to first of all share Christ, and his message of eternal life, while also demonstrating his care and love to residents in such homes. Not only can we minister to the elderly, but they can also share with us nuggets of wisdom from their many years of life. In Scripture, Jesus commended those who visited the sick, as they entered into his joy.
Girls Prison
Luke 4:18-19,
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19. To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.;
Isaiah 61:1-4
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2. To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 3. To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified. 4. And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
Youth need godly role models. It is the desire of RMI to reach out to the young people who, for whatever reason, have found themselves
locked up in state custody. New Vision Youth Development Center in Nashville, TN. is a facility that's currently under consideration for
ministry outreach. This facility host girls ages 12-19 years of age. We desire to share the truth of God's love with these girls that they
might have an opportunity to come into the fullness of the life God has intended for them, and that they may be rescued from the snares of Satan's destruction. On June 22, 2010 we began ministering twice a month in the New Vision Youth Development Center (Girls prison). Our goal is to give them a message of hope, and help them to see that God does have a wonderful plan for their lives, according to Jeremiah 29:11-12, if they will but turn to him in faith, believing and trusting in the atoning work of Jesus Christ.
