Jesus is our leader and we are to be His loving followers who are passionately pursing Him and spreading the Kingdom. That’s our job…and we are to live our entire life doing so. Christians should take the lead in our society, as we were created to do so. We are called to be “lead dogs” in every area of influence. There are strategic areas of influence which shape the culture of this nation and the nations of the world and we are to believe for the Lord’s direction as to how to take back the ground the enemy has stolen, seeing people released from the lies of mediocrity, compromise, and limitation into abundancy on every level.

Joseph was given a prophetic dream that was fulfilled as the Lord raised him in stature. His greatest operation of gifts occurred as he was in Egypt. With the initial revelation for Joseph, he didn’t know the process required to fulfill the prophecy. Joseph was involved in a paradigm shift which brought much freedom and saved a nation. He was a revolutionary, becoming a man of decision-making authority. He gained credibility as his gifts and abilities were seen as successes by those around him. His sphere of influence broadened as he allowed the Lord to use him where he was, which brought the Godly promotion that was intended all along. His prophetic utterances sliced through the atmosphere of fear, bringing into existence the very decree of change intended by God for the deliverance of His people. What great lessons we can learn from Joseph, a man of authority, wielding great people skills, with amazing business and monetary influence. Joseph became the head and not the tail, and we can learn much from his life.

We, the church, need to be trained and equipped to powerfully infiltrate and apprehend the areas of our living. We are to enjoy the Presence of God, cultivate His heart and His will in the church, and then be released into the places of opportunity for great Kingdom change. This is where we are to demonstrate His goodness, to allow our supernatural lifestyle to spill into the culture that Jesus wants us to take for Him. We are to capture the strategic places as holy influencers to see His Kingdom come, His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven, right where we are and out to the nations.

We need to know what to do and must be prepared for leading in easy times, and perilous times as well. The person who is strong in Kingdom thinking, Kingdom strategy, who knows God’s voice, will do great exploits. The Lord says that whatever can be shaken will be shaken and we are to embrace Him as His shaking occurs, leading others into victorious living. Romans 12:1-2 reminds us “Therefore, brethren, I urge you by the mercies of God to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” The enemy of our souls wants to negatively influence the minds of people to become and stay focused on his very precise and aggressive agenda. This has and will continue to heighten in these last days. As never before, we need to live with renewed minds and thinking, as ambassadors of His Kingdom. As the mind is the enemy’s battleground (he wants to shape and influence our thinking), only those operating with the mind of Christ will be used mightily to thwart the enemy’s wicked schemes evident in the structures of influence in our society. The enemy is out to steal, kill, and destroy this generation and future generations. We must be very wise. As “Presence seekers” we will see and hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church….AND we must act upon these truths and revelations in love and power. We will lose ground if both elements aren’t in place and activated appropriately.

With that in mind, FTC offers Tracks of Emphasis that will help each one to focus more clearly on his/her realm of influence, while becoming strengthened in personal passion and love for the Lord, playing out in “normal” supernatural living. The following section gives an overview of this organizational structure which is intended to help FTC participants move more clearly in line with their specific callings, giftings, and anointings as they journey through the adventure of a lifetime!
