Catalyst Word: Albania 2025

Catalyst stands at the threshold of a new era. Not new season. Not new moment. New era. "A long and distinct period of culture defining history." I am inviting you into the era of churches that shape cultures. A threshold has to be entered. Not admired. Not anticipated. But stepped into.

The economy of the kingdom of God is quite simple. Every new step in the kingdom costs us everything we have gained to date. Every time we cross a new threshold, it costs us everything we now have. Every new step may cost us all the reputation and security we have accumulated up to that point. It costs us our life. A disciple is always ready to take the next step. If there is anything that characterizes Christian maturity, it is the willingness to become a beginner again for Jesus Christ. It is the willingness to put our hand in his hand and say, "I'm scared to death, but I'll go with you. You're the Pearl of great price."

Will you choose to invest in the economy of the kingdom?

Will you take a new step with me? Will you come over a new threshold?

Will you give me everything you have gained to date?

Will you give me your security, your reputation, your life?

Are you willing to become a beginner again?

Will you put your hand in my hand and let me lead you?

For the pearl of great price is waiting to be discovered all over again.

Or I am wanting to take you to places you have never been. I am wanting to lead you to exponential blessing that touches the ends of the earth. I am wanting to unveil you to a desperate world. But the economy of my kingdom is simple - give me all you have, and I will give you all that I have. Trust me. Surrender. Lay down your inclination to strategy and lean into the ways of love. Come close enough to hear my whispers in your ear. Part time love has to go. Draw near to me and I will draw near to you. The day of half steps and cautious manoeuvres is over. The day of bold love has arrived.

I heard these declarations being spoken over us:

Let the apostles be released to apostolic ministry. Don't be distracted! Don't be half in. Free your time for this. I am sending you!

Let the prophets declare his word with courage even if a lions den awaits. Don't t be half in. I am sending you.

Let the evangelists preach the word with signs and wonders. Raise up Jesus army. Don't be half in. I am sending you.

Let the Shepherds lead my people to green pastures, even if wolves may attack. Don't be half in. I am sending you.

Let the teachers herald my word with authority and power. Truth and love are your weapons. Don't be half in. I am sending you.

New thresholds: new surrender
