The Vision, Edition 3, G. Steven Simons

Mark 16:14 Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table. And He reproached their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He was raised. (15) And He said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the Good News to every creature. (16) “He who has believed and has been immersed, shall be saved, but he who has not believed shall be condemned."

This passage has been called by many the "Great Commission" passage. The word "commission" can be broken into two parts: co-mission. "Co" meaning shared with another party and "mission" meaning a purpose or defined task to be accomplish. So the Great Commission is a mission that we share with Yeshua. He is the other party and the One who charged His followers to join Him in the work. 

Mark 16:19 Then indeed, after the Master had spoken to them, He was received up into the heaven, and sat down at the right hand of Elohim. (20) And they went out and proclaimed it everywhere, while the Master worked with them, and confirmed the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.

The Great Commission is not the "great suggestion" it is the "Great Commandment!" Yeshua has commanded His disciples, including those in this generation, to go into all the world and preach the Good News to every creature.

Yeshua has an "all the world, every creature" mentality. If Yeshua has commanded His followers to go into all the world and preach the Good News to every creature, then all the world and every creature can and must be reached.

I said in our last week's edition that we would begin revealing the global vision the Master has given us. Each week we will reveal a bit more until we have shared it all. This week's emphasis is the global aspect of the vision. At the heart of every vision given by Elohim is HIS desire to see the world come to believe upon and walk in the ways of HIS Son Yeshua - and His ways are the ways of Torah. There are many different things that Elohim may show in a vision and charge HIS people to do, but at the center of every vision is HIS will that "none should perish, but all should come to repentance." In Yeshua's final words to His disciples He made this point completely clear, "Go into all the world and preach the Good News to every creature. He who has believed and has been immersed, shall be saved, but he who has not believed shall be condemned."

It's not enough to have a local vision alone. If you only have a local vision, you are falling short of the Great Commandment and have missed the larger heart of Elohim. Every local fellowship or personal ministry must have a global component for it to be in the perfect and complete will of ABBA. This can be accomplished either by having some aspect of a global outreach in your local or personal ministry or by connecting with others who have a global ministry strategy given by Elohim.

We are so humbled and grateful to see people from all over the world connecting with us through our weekly teaching videos. These are people meeting in small groups, families, couples, and singles coming to the truth of Torah and setting out to walk in the ways of Yeshua. Many of them have no local fellowship and feel isolated in their walk. We want to do something about that. 

Over the next several weeks we will be explaining how we are going to merge our local vision with our global vision so that we are all doing the same things - whether you are part of our local Triumph Family Dallas/Fort Worth or our Extended Triumph Family across the country and around the world. The strategies we will be sharing will be the same for every group or person wherever you are. This unified strategy will bring us all together in a global Triumph In Truth Family. Our phone app will be reformatted for global application and communication. You will be able to access people from all over the world to share testimonies, prayer requests, spiritual enrichment, and encouragement. You will have the Triumph In Truth Global Family at your fingertips. We will work to implement a new level of global unity and ministry. With today's technology, we can truly become a global fellowship of believers making an impact for Yeshua and Torah around the world. 

We would love to hear from you. Please take a moment and write a one or two sentence comment expressing your thoughts about this concept of having a global fellowship of believers unified by the Spirit and connected through technology. Send your comment to info@TriumphInTruth.global and we'll post some of them next week.

Also, if you know other like-minded believers you feel will benefit from this e-bulletin and being connected with Triumph In Truth Ministries/Triumph Family, please send us their email addresses and we will reach out to them. Until next week. Shalom!
