Apostolic Mentoring

Unlocking Supernatural Ministry for End-Time Revival / Freischaltung des übernatürlichen Dienstes für die Erweckung der Endzeit ! ... English & German

• Rev. Charles G. Robinette • Season 5 • Episode 8

Share episode

Is your ministry aligned with God's purpose, or are you caught in the web of people's expectations? Join Brother Robinette and me as we unlock the secrets to experiencing the supernatural through unwavering obedience and humility in ministry. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of the delicate dance between marketing our ministry and maintaining Christ at the center. We discuss the anticipated wave of miraculous healings and revivals and underscore the importance of celebrating success collectively, steering clear of pride. Together, we share a vision of future crusades brimming with transformations and urge the body of Christ to revel in each other's victories as if they were their own.

As we navigate the ebb and flow of life's spiritual journey, the conversation shifts to the crucial role of steadfastness, even in mundane moments. Brother Robinette offers profound insights on balancing spiritual and personal responsibilities, highlighting the metaphor of people as leaves, limbs, or roots to discern their lasting impact. We reflect on the story of Job, drawing lessons on trusting God's timing and purpose amidst life's unpredictability. With an emphasis on rest and rejuvenation, this episode serves as a reminder to remain faithful and committed as we anticipate the coming end-time revival, trusting in the divine orchestration of our paths.

We love to hear from our listeners! Thank you!

Speaker 1:

Brother Robinette, it seems to me that it's impossible to please people and God at the same time.

Speaker 2:

It seems impossible to me to brand and market my ministry and present Christ at the same time.

Speaker 1:

Somewhere along the way here we're going to have to figure it out that this is about him, not us. Obedience is the threshold to the supernatural.

Speaker 2:

The believers laid hands on the sick, and they recovered. Gehorsamkeit ist der Übergang zum Übernatürlichen.

Speaker 1:

The believers laid hands on the sick and they recovered.

Speaker 2:

Die Gläubiger haben ihre Hände aufgelegt auf die Kranken, und sie wurden wieder heil.

Speaker 1:

In that equation, somebody has to obey God, und in diesem Gleichnis in time ministry with all of our pulpit hearing and with all of our efforts.

Speaker 2:

And with all of our efforts, we're going to have to learn and be willing to trust and obey God in every step and every turn.

Speaker 1:

This is just me personally.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to say that up front. You'll never find anybody that believes in five-fold ministry more than I do. I know there are many who believe in it just as strongly as I do?

Speaker 1:

You can't question my belief in the gifts of the Spirit and supernatural ministry.

Speaker 2:

I'm behind it 100%.

Speaker 1:

I've been thinking a lot lately, brother Robinette what would be the one characteristic that I would need the most in end-time ministry?

Speaker 2:

die Eigenschaft, die ich brauche, damit ich dahinter des Endzeitdienstes stehe. Gibt es eine Gabe, die ich am höchsten oder am meisten brauche für diese Endzeit der Gemeinde? You know?

Speaker 1:

what I keep coming back to. The one thing that keeps coming back up in my spirit is that if I'm going to have any value in the end time, if I'm going to be able to be used by the Holy Ghost in the end time and be saved when it's over, and be saved when it's over. The one thing the Lord keeps telling me that I must have is humility. Have you ever considered? I know you probably all have- have you ever considered?

Speaker 2:

I know you probably all have but have you ever really thought about just how amazing and epic end-time ministry is going?

Speaker 1:

to look like it won't be one or two in a crusade, having sight restored.

Speaker 2:

It'll be one or two hundred.

Speaker 1:

It won't be five crippled people getting out of wheelchairs.

Speaker 2:

It'll be 50.

Speaker 1:

The days will come when crusade sites are littered with crutches and prosthetic limbs.

Speaker 2:

an end-time service. A bunch of artificial legs and arms will be created or given. The day will come when they leave the crusade sites, when the local church service is over when the local church service is over, we'll be responsible for going along and picking up wheelchairs and crutches and such. We will see a return to some biblical things, one of which is the way people talk about us. The need for marketing will go away. The scripture says this. One little statement that just gets my attention.

Speaker 1:

After something supernatural was done. The scripture says it was noised abroad.

Speaker 2:

The demonstration of the power of God is going to be so amazing. People are going to be filled with the Holy Ghost and baptized in Jesus' name.

Speaker 1:

Limbs are going to grow where there was no limb to start with not just miracles of healing and things of that nature, but creative miracles are going to be a part of end time revival and it's going to be noised abroad. Apostolic websites are going to crash because so many people are going to be trying to log in and see what happens. People are going to line up outside churches looking for answers. I think the day is going to come that we're going to have to baptize people every day, all day, all night.

Speaker 2:

Churches will probably have to hire people to do nothing but baptize folks that are coming in.

Speaker 1:

And with all of that going on, I want to be a part of that, but I don't want to be lost as a result of it.

Speaker 2:

I know me.

Speaker 1:

Brother Robinette, I know my ego. And the scripture says be careful when everybody starts to say good stuff about you. I don't want to get so enamored with how God uses me that I think it's me.

Speaker 2:

Ich möchte nicht so selbstverliebt werden, dass ich denke, es ist Gott oder dass es eigentlich ich bin.

Speaker 1:

Wenn du dir die Philippa anguckst das Buch die meisten.

Speaker 2:

Schüler oder Studierenden denken, das ist der glücklichste.

Speaker 1:

Brief der Bibel, or students think that it is the happiest letter in the Bible.

Speaker 2:

And as I understand.

Speaker 1:

it is a culmination of three letters that Paul wrote from three different prisons and it's still called the happiest book in the Bible and then in Philippians, he makes a statement. And he says considering everyone as being better than yourself. That takes away the spirit of competition. This is not me against you and you against me and us against the world us against the world.

Speaker 2:

This is about all of us pulling together and if you're the one having revival, if your church is growing and it's through your ministry that hundreds of thousands are coming to truth.

Speaker 1:

And I'm just over here in the corner somewhere praying for you. Guess what I'm going to? Do I'm going to worship and thank God just like it was happening at my house, because we are one body, truthfully one body, and I don't care where they come into the kingdom at. To be honest with you, I'm okay with it being somebody else traveling all over the world leading all these efforts than being somebody else traveling all over the world leading all these efforts.

Speaker 2:

Brother Robinette, the great God of heaven bless you.

Speaker 1:

I'll be praying for you from Arkansas. I'll be at Cracker Barrel thanking the Lord for your efforts, and if I have to go I'll go. But I don't care who it is in the mic, I don't care who's in the pulpit, I don't care who's got their hands on the sick. For God's sake, somebody, just get the job done. It don't matter to me, just get it done. Lately I have been attracted to the book of Habakkuk, and the first chapter and part of the second chapter have really caught my attention.

Speaker 2:

And I've preached from this several times here recently. But the first four verses of chapter number one. Habakkuk is griping and complaining and venting to the Lord. And he's letting the Lord know just how terrible things really are in his world, as though the Lord didn't know. And then verse 5, the Lord starts to speak back to Habakkuk and to put it in Arkansas terminology the Lord says to Habakkuk you're talking about the Chaldeans. I know all about them, nasty Chaldeans. I'm the one that stirred them up against you.

Speaker 2:

And it's like he fills in some gaps for Habakkuk on some things he didn't know he said I'm going to let them run across the country and pillage and take everything they want.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to let them just do all kind of mayhem.

Speaker 2:

But about the end of verse 5 or the first part of verse 6, he makes a statement to Habakkuk that is an indictment to us. So am Ende von Vers 5 und Anfang 6 teilt er seine Aussage uns mit.

Speaker 1:

He said there's some things I'd like to tell you. There's some things I'd like to show you and share with you about what I'm going to do. And then he says but I can't tell you, because if I told you, you wouldn't believe me. If I give you a vision, you won't believe that either, because you are so focused on everything that's going wrong around you. Well then, habakkuk comes back and repents for about one verse.

Speaker 2:

Dann macht Habakkuk einen Rückzieher und tut Buße innerhalb eines Verses.

Speaker 1:

And then he starts griping and complaining again.

Speaker 2:

Und dann fängt er schon wieder an zu meckern.

Speaker 1:

And by the beginning of chapter number two he says let me return to my post and try to prepare myself for the rebuke I know I'm about to get. He goes back to his post and the Lord begins to speak to him again and he tells him get some tablets to write on, write it in large print and make it very plain so everybody can understand it when they read it.

Speaker 2:

And then he begins to tell him the vision is coming.

Speaker 1:

And what I'm about to tell you is really going to happen. Then he says it's going to happen at an appointed time. And don't forget that we can't hasten God's plan and you're not going to get him to alter his time to alter his time.

Speaker 2:

Our job is to be faithful. Preach with fervor. Release the gift of faith everywhere you go.

Speaker 1:

And keep the vision in front of the people. Our job is not to make it happen. Our job is to still be in the kingdom when it happens. We don't create flow. The flow of the Spirit exists at all times. Our job, however, is to find that flow and become a part of it. But it's the enemy's job to work against us and try to discourage us and distract us and help us to become bitter about everything, to bring offense to us, to add offense to us.

Speaker 2:

To add things to us that are not the will of God for us to carry.

Speaker 1:

Because he knows he can't stop what God's going to do. But he's going to do everything he can to make sure you and I are not a part of it. And you know what Sometimes things get rough. Serving God is not all about roses every step of the way. Everybody's not going to love you because you believe what God says what God says.

Speaker 2:

Matter of fact, everybody's not going to love you because you believe for great revival.

Speaker 1:

And yes, there are roses along the way, but they're on thorn bushes. There's always going to be trouble.

Speaker 2:

The political world is always going to be a mess. Humanity is always going to be what it is. We will be wounded more often in the house of our brethren than anywhere else, and from time to time it's going to just spill out of our mouth when we're praying and talking to Jesus and we're going to gripe and we're going to complain to him about how bad it really is.

Speaker 1:

This is going on and that's going on, and this person don't like me, but at the end of the day, when you've had your say and you have vented all that out, get up and go back to your post. Get up from where you're at having that prayer meeting and go back to doing what God called you to do. When you have puked it all out and there's nothing left, get your happy self up and get back to your post, because there's a word coming. There's a word that's going to penetrate through the darkness around you. He really does want to share a vision with you. He really does want to show you what he's about to do in the earth. He really does want you to have a vision so you don't perish. He wants you to have something else to talk about besides what's wrong. He wants us to speak life and not death.

Speaker 2:

So I'm going to get up and go back to my post.

Speaker 1:

I've had my say, I've said what I need to say, but I'm going to get up and go back to my post. My circumstances may not change. And if the circumstances don't change and he don't change my location, then that means he intends to do a great work right here.

Speaker 2:

Right here in the midst of rejection. He's going to do a great work.

Speaker 1:

Right here, in the middle of being misunderstood misrepresented.

Speaker 2:

He's going to do a great work.

Speaker 1:

Maybe you've been through a betrayal recently. Stay there, he's going to do a great work right there. And that chapter goes on. Chapter number two to make a couple of really neat statements.

Speaker 2:

And he's telling him don't lose hope, because even if it don't happen right away, it's coming. And he says to him the prophecy or the vision will not lie. The word of God is true and what God has said and promised is exactly what he will do. But it's our job to stay faithful in the meantime, between revivals where great things happen. I've got to stay faithful Between the miracles that I've seen God do in my lifetime.

Speaker 1:

I've had to stay faithful.

Speaker 2:

I've watched God raise the dead multiple times right here in the United States.

Speaker 1:

I've seen the blind eyes open, deaf ears, mute people, everything you can think of.

Speaker 2:

We've all seen that happen. But if you took every miracle that I've seen in my lifetime, Brother Robinette, there's not enough of them to be one a day for the last 30 years.

Speaker 1:

So what do you do in the meantime? What do you do when nobody's?

Speaker 2:

running the aisles, but everybody's talking about you.

Speaker 1:

What do you do when there's no revival, no pulpit and no prayer meeting?

Speaker 2:

Then you're not surrounded by people of like precious faith and expectations. What do you do when the attacks come against your?

Speaker 1:

mind. Some of you preachers have probably felt this just like I have. But I have gone to the pulpit with a word from God and at the same time, I'm trying to say what God told me to say. The mind games are going on and the enemy is telling me you're a fraud. You're preaching all of this faith, but you don't really believe it. You're a fraud. You're preaching all of this faith, but you don't really believe it. You're preaching divine healing, but you've got health problems.

Speaker 2:

And if all this was really real, you'd be healed. I know somebody's going to get healed in that room that night.

Speaker 1:

I know the miraculous is going to take place in that room and when that service is over if I didn't get my healing and when that service is over if I didn't get my healing, I'm going to limp back into my hotel room.

Speaker 2:

My ankle is going to be swollen up twice its size. Due to a long time ago ankle and leg injury. I've had bones break in that ankle while I was yet preaching faith to a room full of people.

Speaker 1:

What are you going to do when you're suffering while everybody else is getting healed? What do you do when you're praying for other people's children and yours are suffering in silence and in private? Nobody even knows those of you that travel in ministry how do you reconcile ministering to everybody else's family and churches and leaving yours at home? I realize you're all sanctified, so you pray my strength in the Lord. But, I don't like it. I don't like leaving my family at home.

Speaker 2:

I don't like sleeping in hotel, after hotel, after hotel.

Speaker 1:

I don't like the silence of an empty hotel room while my family is at home. Do you know what, After I've told the Lord how I feel about it?

Speaker 2:

And my family is at home and you know what I told the.

Speaker 1:

Lord how I feel about it.

Speaker 2:

I have to shake myself loose from it and get back up and go back to my post. I have found this out.

Speaker 1:

If I minister to his family he'll minister to mine. If I minister to his house he'll take care of my house.

Speaker 2:

I want to go to heaven more than anything in the world. But there's some real stuff about all this that we better get a hold of.

Speaker 1:

Is end time, revival coming?

Speaker 2:

Yes, Is end time, revival coming? Yes, is the absolute world going to be shaken by a move of the Holy Ghost? Yes, people will be receiving the Holy Ghost all over the world, in crusades and in homes, in living rooms, restaurants and workplaces.

Speaker 1:

But we're not there yet.

Speaker 2:

We're on the cusp of it. We're starting to see it breaking all over the planet, but what are you going to do between those times?

Speaker 1:

Are we going to be saved? Are we going to stay free of expectations? Are we going to get distracted by accusations and attacks? I can't worry about the Chaldeans.

Speaker 2:

I can't worry about what they're doing. I can't get distracted by my brother over here. I'm not going to let your revival make me bitter because I hadn't had one yet. And it is my hope and prayer, Brother Robinette, that everybody that watches this, and it is my hope and prayer, Brother Robinette, that everybody that watches this and every other episode you've ever done or will do will be so completely immersed in end-time revival and harvest.

Speaker 1:

I want the Lord to use everyone so very powerfully in his plan. But you need to remember a couple of things. After those great moments of anointing, those great seasons of revival and harvest, you've got to get up the next morning and travel home. You've got to get up on Monday and go back to work. We've got to deal with the challenges in our families, in our marriages, in our homes, and it has become my pledge for me alone.

Speaker 1:

And by that I'm saying I don't put this on anybody else, it's just my deal. I consider my wife and my children as part of my soul and I'm not going to gain the world and lose that.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to live for God between the miraculous moments. I'm going to be faithful between the mountaintops.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to be consistent when it seems like there's no flow anywhere and I'm going to do my very best. To go back to my post, and get my spirit right so that I can hear what he's going to say next. I know I've been kind of all over the map seems like over the map seems like.

Speaker 1:

But between the times where God sends you out to do a certain work, we have to be very careful, because it won't always be a devil standing at the front door. Sometimes it will be a distraction, sometimes it will be your schedule, sometimes it will be a lack of rest. And while I'm on that topic, real quick end time revival will always include green pastures and still waters get in the fight.

Speaker 2:

Green pastures and still waters. Get in the fight and stay in the fight Until it's time to go to green pastures and still waters. We are mere mortals, we are but a cog in the great will of God, and green pastures and still waters are necessary for us.

Speaker 1:

They are so necessary that if we don't let him lead us to it, he will make you lay down in water. So rest. Rest when it's time to rest. Put the people in your life in three seasons, or rather three categories. This is not original with me. We've got to be smart enough and wise enough To realize that people fit in three categories. They're either going to be a leaf, a limb or a root. You will always have more leaves in your life than limbs and roots, but those leaves change seasons sometimes very quickly.

Speaker 2:

Aber diese Blätter verändern sich in der Zeit sehr schnell.

Speaker 1:

They come into your life in a certain season.

Speaker 2:

Sie kommen oder wachsen oder erscheinen in deinem Leben in einer bestimmten.

Speaker 1:

Zeit. They stay for a certain season.

Speaker 2:

Sie bleiben in einer bestimmten Zeit.

Speaker 1:

And then they leave in a certain season and then they leave at a certain season. Let them go. The limbs in your life typically hang around longer than leaves and you can count on them to a certain point.

Speaker 2:

And you can count on them to a certain point. But they have a maximum load limit and if you put too much on them they'll break and as the tree ages, the limbs will eventually fade away too, They'll last longer than the leaves, but they will go.

Speaker 1:

Then the third category of people are the ones that we need the most. Everybody sees the leaves and the limbs. Everybody sees their contribution to your life, but you've got to have some roots. Most people may not see their contribution to your life. You may be a root to somebody else and don't get distracted by the attention the leaves and the limbs are getting.

Speaker 2:

Get distracted by the attention the leaves and the limbs are getting. But those roots sustain us. They give us strength and stability.

Speaker 1:

And one of the most exhausting things that happens to the people of God, in my opinion is when we don't realize what people are in our lives. For Trust the Lord with all of these relationships. Some may be there for 30 days, but they are specifically necessary for those 30 days.

Speaker 2:

And then the last thing I want to say before I turn it back to Brother Robinette.

Speaker 1:

Job made a pretty profound statement at one point and he said the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. We all believe that the Lord knows when we need to be going full steam ahead and when we need to stop. So trust him.

Speaker 2:

So trust him. You may go through a season of three to six months that you're just 100% engaged all the time.

Speaker 1:

And then all of a sudden, with no warning and for no apparent reason, it just stops. Trust the Lord with timing. Think of yourself as a ship as a ship. The Lord knows when to drop an anchor and when to raise a sail, and you and I need to trust him. He wants you to be involved in his plan for man more than you want to be involved. So let him lead you. You quieten the voices in your life that are not of him. Remember, little old Pete was trying to protect the master.

Speaker 2:

Say that again. The what.

Speaker 1:

Little Peter. There, the disciple Peter was trying to protect the master.

Speaker 2:

Petrus had versucht, den Meister zu beschützen.

Speaker 1:

And even though what he was saying was pure and good and right, it interfered with the will of God in the way of the.

Speaker 2:

Lord.

Speaker 1:

And it sounds good to me, sister, and as good as I think you nailed it and as good as what Peter was saying was as protective as he was being the Lord turned around and called him Satan, and he said you've now become an offense to me. And he said you have insulted me with it or you have been insulted with it Sometimes the voices that actually want good, or want to bring good, can interfere with you doing what God has called you to do.

Speaker 2:

They may look and say you need to rest, and the Lord's saying I need you to go over here first.

Speaker 1:

So learn and listen to his voice and obey his voice. Brother Robinette, I literally have been all over the map today, but these little nuggets just have helped me and it's just all that I kept feeling and keeps coming to me. So there it is, a plate of scrambled eggs.

Speaker 2:

Brother Robinette. I was everywhere, but there were so many good pieces that encouraged me, and now we have here a scrambled egg, so to speak.

Speaker 3:

Well, if that was scrambled eggs, I want an omelet for sure, because that was phenomenal.

Speaker 2:

And so many kingdom-critical nuggets of the kingdom that we definitely need for today. I couldn't type the words that the Lord spoke to me so quickly, but I know that God spoke to us today for sure.

Speaker 3:

I would just ask one more thing, Brother Shelton, if you would not mind just praying over us today.

Speaker 2:

I would just really appreciate that.

Speaker 1:

Father, in your name because there is no other name we humbly submit ourselves to you. We trust you, we rely on you. We need you desperately. We can't breathe without you. Our hearts don't work without you. There's no purpose without you.

Speaker 1:

Lord, I pray a blessing over each and every person on here today and that will watch in the future.

Speaker 1:

Let your peace and your strength be upon each one of us, watch over us. Let the angels of the Lord encamp around about all of these and, as we close this year, let there be an endowment of virtue and strength onto the laborers that have labored so heavily throughout the world. In the kingdom, I pray an endowment of strength and a refreshing and a renewal on the ministers and their families, their children. I pray your hand abide with them and in this season of rest, let them feel a fresh wind of anointing. Come and give them the strength and the passion. Speak the vision, speak it clearly and then guard it in our spirits, in Jesus' name, that the enemy not take it from us, but let that vision stay in our spirit. Put down roots and begin to produce fruit out of our efforts, as we are doing our very best to obey you. Help us not be distracted to the left nor the right, but to learn your voice and listen to your voice and follow your voice. In Jesus' name.

Speaker 3:

Hallelujah, hallelujah, wherever you are. Why don't you just lift up your hands and why don't you just thank the Lord for this word today?

Speaker 2:

Da, wo du bist, erhebe deine Hände und danke dem Herrn für das Wort heute.

Speaker 3:

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. Thank you, lord, for this word. Thank you, god, for speaking to us so clearly today. God, thank you for seeding our spirits, god, with a word that cannot return. Void God an equipping word, a strengthening word, a visionary word today, god, Thank you, lord, for this prophetic word that came forth today. Lord Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord. Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord, praise God. Thank you to all of our translators.

Speaker 2:
