To the Pastors, Leaders, & Intercessors of the ONE Church of Colorado,

”Then I said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people [the pastors, leaders, and intercessors], “The work is extensive and very spread out, and we are widely separated from each other along the wall [in Colorado].  Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet [the email from Mike], rally to us there [The Rock]. Our God will fight for us!” 

Nehemiah 4:19-20

I believe the Lord is using the 400 Gathering to call His church together to do something supernatural in Colorado – an outpouring of the Spirit that will bring a revival movement that will establish a reformation of the church into His beautiful bride!  This is something many have cried out for, plowed the ground for, contended in prayer for, and worked diligently for, and yet we have not seen a revival movement in Colorado in over 100 years. There needs to be a wineskin of unity and oneness of the Church that has not happened. It has been talked about for years and there have even been impressive movements toward unity, but division has historically won out because of self-promotion, busyness, offenses, pride/selfish ambitions, jealousy, ‘man’-birthed programs that heavily burden the church and leaders, and more… But there is an invitation to say ‘yes’ to something the Lord has for Colorado that takes us out of our fiefdoms and into His KINGDOM! This invitation demands the effort of unity of the Spirit and action into the knowledge of the Lord’s heart and will…bringing the Church of Colorado into oneness.  We have been in a pursuit of this through the 400 Gathering now for almost 4 years now and it has come together more slowly than we had hoped and has required contending and plowing. Yet, we have continued to see the unity of the Colorado Church (the Net) increase and strengthen in the Lord!  “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin,” (Zech 4:10 NLT)

I have come to realize that this endeavor for John 17 unity goes way beyond our natural wisdom, strength, and ability to gather together.  It is a spiritual battle and will only be accomplished when in lock-step with the Spirit!  “It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.” (Zech 4:6 NLT)  He is giving us the divine power for this invitation! (2 Peter 1:3) IMAGINE – 400 pastors and churches throughout Colorado truly unite together…into a NET formation…and linked together to use their giftings, strengths, time, and resources help other churches in areas where they may be weak…with the purpose of strengthening the Colorado NET and seeing exponential kingdom expansion and spiritual growth through discipleship of the Church.

From the 400 Vision: “He is asking for those who say “Yes” to partner together in a way that they are laying down the “agenda” of building or maintaining their church, for the greater purpose of building His Church – through the unity of the Body and seeing the giftings of each church used to strengthen other churches…With a new focus of harvesting souls and cultivating warriors …. as we come into a (Kairos) time of the greatest expansion ever of the Kingdom of God.”

In September of 2019 at Worship on the Rocks, I believe the Lord opened a window, an invitation, to step into a Kairos-timed opportunity for 400 pastors and leaders to come together into a 1 John 3:16-18 love that looks like something!  It was an invitation to come together as one through prayer, fasting, worship, and seeking His face so that the kingdom war plans could be received and implemented in a way that would change the trajectory of our lives and the course of history for Colorado in a significant and powerful way…heaven invading Colorado!

I don’t know how long this invitation will remain available for our generation and for Colorado, but I don’t want to be so presumptuous that we miss it.  It is an opportune invitation, not a guarantee!   “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as they did in the rebellion.” Hebrews 3 & 4 (stated multiple times).  As the Spirit leads, we must respond in faith and obedient action without delay.  For delayed obedience is disobedience. 

While we have been waiting on Him…. He has been waiting on us!  …to no longer live according to the status quo of church.  It is time for some radical changes.  Forget the former things! He is doing a new thing!  If we want to see Revival in Colorado, then let us move into action and the Lord will fight for us and we will see the deliverance of His people!  May we respond well.

I love you all and hope to break bread, worship, and engage in kingdom strategies together on Monday, January 8^th.

Mike

Hello 400 Gathering Pastors, Leaders & Intercessors,

We had an amazing time together this past Monday, August 16th. Thank you for your engagement and desire to see the Church unite and for God to move in the Colorado region in a way that we have never before seen. I know a lot of you were not able to make it to this last meeting.

This is a follow-up with details and a link to the weekly call we discussed last Monday and to let you know of the upcoming 400 Meeting in October.

• 400 Gathering Weekly NETwork Call (STARTING THIS MONDAY): Last Monday towards the end of our meeting, I briefly shared on the importance of pastors and leaders being connected regionally on a more frequent basis to know when we need to come alongside one another if a church or pastor is struggling and also to know when something amazing has happened or is happening regionally so that it can stir up and encourage the body of Christ. Nehemiah 4:19-20 “The work is extensive and spread out, and we are widely separated from each other along the wall. Whenever you hear the sound of the trumpet, join us here. Our God will fight for us!” Colorado is a big region and we often don’t know what is happening outside of our area. But this is changing! We are uniting together as ONE united body with ONE head!
  • *We need each other! And even if you don’t think you need this, there is likely someone who needs to be strengthened by you! You may be needed to fight for someone else right now! We need each other…it is the way God designed it! “In fact God has arranged the parts of the body, every one of them, just as He wanted them to be.” (1 Cor 12:18) We each play a critical role as part of the body of Christ!

So STARTING this Monday (8/23) at 9am, let’s gather for 45 minutes via Zoom to pray and encourage each other as the body of Christ!

• Next 400 Gathering: Monday, October 4th will be our next and EIGHTH official 400 Gathering and will likely be the final gathering for 2021. I have heard a few people say “this is going to be the Big One!”. And I agree…this is going to be the Biggest and Boldest One to-date! We are going to gather together, linking shields, in expectation to see a move of God as we come together in unity, prayer, worship, fasting, and seeking the face of our God!

May we be free from pride-filled opinions, for this will only harm our cherished unity. And may we not allow self-promotion to hide in our hearts, but in authentic humility put each other first and view one another as more important than ourselves. May we abandon every display of selfishness and possess a greater concern for what matters to each other instead of our own interests. Phil 2:3-4 TPT

May the grace of our Lord Jesus be with you!
