Recently, I was reading 1 Kings 20 and found something in verses 13-15 that I had not previously noticed. There was a Syrian army threat against the Israelite King Ahab demanding Ahab\u2019s family as hostages. This was a common practice as it helped guarantee political compliance. Ahab, who was not a godly king, was torn in his response until an unnamed prophet stepped forward with a word of the Lord. Deliverance was promised by God, but the king asked who would bring the deliverance. The answer was, \u201cBy the young leaders of the provinces\u201d (20:14, NKJV). But it was Ahab\u2019s duty to \u201cset the battle in order\u201d (20:14).<\/p>\n
The next verse then revealed there were 232 young leaders in the provinces who came forth to be agents of deliverance (20:15).<\/p>\n
When I read that, I thought of the young people of the IPHC. I thought of those who will gather at YouthQuest. The 232 young leaders represent thousands of IPHC youth around the globe that I believe the Holy Spirit is calling as pastors, evangelists, missionaries, and anointed young leaders in your schools and future jobs. <\/p>\n
This is why #232 has taken hold in my heart. I am praying that you will hear the Holy Spirit call you to a closer walk with Jesus. As the IPHC reaches into the future with Arise 2033<\/a>, I am praying for a #232 generation to \u201carise\u201d and serve the mission of Jesus around the world!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"excerpt","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":5098,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","slim_seo":{"title":"YQ19 Gold Sponsor: General Superintendent's Office pt. 2 - IPHC Discipleship Ministries","description":"Recently, I was reading 1 Kings 20 and found something in verses 13-15 that I had not previously noticed.

Hab\u00eda una amenaza del ej\u00e9rcito sirio contra el rey israelita Acab que exig\u00eda a la familia de Acab como rehenes. Esta era una pr\u00e1ctica com\u00fan ya que ayudaba a garantizar el cumplimiento pol\u00edtico. Acab, que no era un rey piadoso, fue desgarrado en su respuesta hasta que un profeta an\u00f3nimo se adelant\u00f3 con una palabra del Se\u00f1or. Dios prometi\u00f3 la liberaci\u00f3n, pero el rey pregunt\u00f3 qui\u00e9n traer\u00eda la liberaci\u00f3n. La respuesta fue: "Por los j\u00f3venes l\u00edderes de las provincias" (20:14, NKJV). Pero era el deber de Acab "poner la batalla en orden" (20:14). El siguiente verso revel\u00f3 que hab\u00eda 232 l\u00edderes j\u00f3venes en las provincias que se convirtieron en agentes de liberaci\u00f3n (20:15). Cuando le\u00ed eso, pens\u00e9 en los j\u00f3venes de la IPHC. Pens\u00e9 en aquellos que se reunir\u00e1n en YouthQuest. Los 232 j\u00f3venes l\u00edderes representan a miles de j\u00f3venes de la IPHC en todo el mundo que creo que el Esp\u00edritu Santo est\u00e1 llamando como pastores, evangelistas, misioneros y j\u00f3venes l\u00edderes ungidos en sus escuelas y futuros trabajos. Por eso el # 232 se ha apoderado de mi coraz\u00f3n. Estoy orando para que escuches que el Esp\u00edritu Santo te llama a caminar m\u00e1s cerca con Jes\u00fas. A medida que la IPHC alcanza el futuro con Arise 2033<\/a> , \u00a1estoy orando para que una generaci\u00f3n # 232 se "levante" y sirva a la misi\u00f3n de Jes\u00fas en todo el mundo!","author_name":"Bishop Doug Beacham","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4T9u2-1kE","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4676,"url":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/2019\/04\/17\/truth-freedom\/","url_meta":{"origin":5124,"position":0},"title":"Truth = Freedom","author":"jbland","date":"April 17, 2019","format":false,"excerpt":"In late August 2018, I was honored and privileged to be a part of the \u201cGrace Without Borders\u201d Women's Ministries conference in Oklahoma City at the Heartland Retreat Center.
