As Most High God, he is
the possessor of heaven
and earth, and it is his
prerogative to give to
whomever his wills. He is
known to Melchizedek by
the name El-Elyon and
blessed Abraham in this
name.

As the possessor of heaven,
El-Elyon exercises his
heavenly authority (Daniel
4:35, 37), and most of the
heavenly beings do not
seem to complain (Isaiah
14:13–14).

Pray for Yourself

“Thank you, Most High
God, for being my Creator
and Redeemer. You have
authority in both heaven
and earth (Deuteronomy
32:8). I am grateful that
you have called and
empowered me to extend
your kingdom as I share
your compassion, justice,
love, and forgiveness
towards others (Matthew
6:10; Luke 6:35).”

“I cry to God Most High, to God who fulfills
his purpose for me” (Psalm 57:2).

As the possessor of earth, El-Elyon has
earthly authority (Psalm 9:2–5). Jesus
taught us to pray that his will be done
on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10).
As the most exalted God, he fulfills his
purpose for us (Psalm 57:2), and we are
to extend the kingdom of God on earth
through expressions of kindness (Psalm
78:35).

Pray for Others

“I pray for _______ to experience hope
by discovering a sense of life purpose
(Psalms 57:2), to extend your kingdom
on earth (Matthew 6:10). May he/she be
frequently reminded that you are his/her
Rock and Redeemer (Psalm 78:35).”

Faith Relationships Wellness Vocation Finance

In “whole-life” discipleship, the focus of John 10:10 broadens from
only focusing exclusively on faith to including other dimensions
of “abundant life” or flourishing such as relationships, wellness,
vocation, and finances.

In “whole-life” discipleship, missional churches engage
their members and reach seekers through giving priority
to a Spirit-empowered faith which can be defined with
observable outcomes using a biblical framework. The
metrics for measuring Spirit-empowered faith or the growth of a
disciple come from Scripture and are organized/framed around
four distinct dimensions of a disciple who serves from Ephesians
4:11–12.

Therefore, the “40 Spirit-Empowered Faith Outcomes” have been
identified and organized around:

• Serving/loving the Lord—(Acts 13:2) L1-10.

• Serving/loving His Word—(Acts 6:4) W1-10.

• Serving/loving people—(Galatians 5:13) P1-10.

• Serving/loving His mission—(2 Corinthians 5:18) M1-10.

disciple!
