"THE GREAT COMMISSION" (MATTHEW 10:7-8, 28:16-20).
Greg Loucks Ministries
"Greg Loucks Ministries" believes all true born-again and Spirit-filled Christian believers are called to "Ministry" and "The Great Commission" (Matthew 10:7-8, 28:16-20). According to Colossians 3:11 "Christ is all in all". He called many different people in various backgrounds, professions and lives to be His Disciples (followers/learners) (Mark 3:13-15), to later lead disciples (two by two) themselves (Luke 10:1-2).
God meets people where they are at. He told Simon Peter and Andrew that He will make them "fishers of men" (Mark 1:17). While Matthew the Tax Collector, He just said "follow me" (Matthew 9:9). Also, Jesus only did the will of His father (John 5:19). We should only be led by the Holy Spirit to say or do God's will. (John 14:26 "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you").
Greg Loucks doesn't believe in limiting God, and believes denominations sometimes do this. Leaving the Holy Spirit out, and in turn attempt to put God in a box. Greg wants the Holy Spirit to use him and be in God's will. He wants people to know the truth and be set free (John 8:36). It's not just knowing that you have an eternal home, like so many churches leave people with. Where they go to church and leave the same way, no breakthrough, no healing or deliverance. Which in turn is often why people walk away, or why they want nothing to do with church anymore. Without true repentance and deliverance, and Baptism of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:11), eventually many people will go back to their old life and ways.
True ministry is true discipleship. Discipling or teaching people how to live a blessed fulfilled life and leading other disciples (followers, learners) to a fulfilling life in Christ (Luke 1:45) This is why He called us to heal and cast out demons (Matthew 10:8). Jesus wants us set free, healed, delivered and renewed, so we can have a life of purpose, fulfillment and enjoyment. And where we can have a "Ministry", and also become disciples and fulfill the "Great Commission", as well. The mission of this ministry can stay focused on current goals and visions. However, the Holy Spirit is free to have His way and can do His will and have His way. We are yielded and surrendered to Him and His will (Romans 6:13).
In 2023-2024 (right now) our main focus is ministering all over Europe, leading people to Christ to become Disciples of Christ themselves. We will teach, minister and evangelize whoever will invite us, but also wherever the Holy Spirit leads us. Whether it is on the streets, in a cafe or officially in a church (Deuteronomy 28:6).
By staying out of religious and denominational debate, we feel we can reach more people and get more opportunity. 1 Corinthians 12:15-26 is clear about us being a church body, and we don't say "we have no need for you." The different parts of Christ's body (the church) all have a purpose and a will for their life, whether they realize it yet, or not. For those who are more traditional or denominational in their approach, we have attached a "What We Believe", "Mission", "Vision" and "Evangelism" section you are free to read. We are very true to teaching the truth known as the Bible and Gospel message. And following "the Spirit of truth", the Holy Spirit (John 16:13).
Having some varying opinion and being of accepting others is how we learn and grow and teach. "Greg Loucks Ministries" is just one part of Christ's Body. (Luke 22:19–20) (1 Corinthians 12:12–14). Greg Loucks used Matthew 10:7-8 in his ministry logo for a reason. Greg believes Matthew 10:8 "Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give." is missed by a lot of churches today and was a Commandment by Jesus. So people go to church and stay bound up, when Christ wants to set us free.
Matthew 10:8 is the "Power of the Holy Spirit" (Acts 1:8) and "Authority in Jesus' name" (Matthew 28:18-19) all Born-again, Spirit-filled believers have.
The previous verse, Matthew 10:7 says " As you go, proclaim this message: 'The kingdom of heaven has come near.'" The name Greg means "watchman". Greg has used Ezekiel 33:7 "So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me", all of his life, as his go to verse. And Greg does believe that we are in "The Last Days" (2 Peter 3:3-4). We are in the Last Days and so many preach the doom and gloom end day doctrine, but miss the positive stuff like Acts 2:17. "In the Last Days," God says, "I will pour out my Spirit on every kind of people: Your sons will prophesy, also your daughters; Your young men will see visions, your old men dream dreams". This is also where Greg believes we are. The Greatest Time to be a live! Where Acts 2:17 is fulfilled, for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, for revival and the Last Days Soul Harvest. Acts chapter 2 is a fulfillment of the Old Testament prophet Joel. And in Joel 2:23, he says "the latter rain is greater than the former."
We are in the Last Days, and have been effected by it. But it isn't all doom and gloom, if we look at verses like Acts 2:17. God isn't finished with His church just yet. There is still work to do! (Luke 19:13) Jesus refers to "The Last Days" as "The Days of Noah" in Matthew 24:37-39. However, people forget to mention that the name Noah means rest and the people on the Ark were protected by God from the world. Even ahead of time they were prepared for the flood (Hebrews 11:7)!
John 17:11, 14–15 says we are "in this world, but not of it". We can be protected, safe and at peace in the midst of these times, while we abide in Him and be in the "Shadow of His wings" (Psalm 57:1).
I am not saying we are going to escape it all, but where we should stay focused is on Christ, not the world and the times we are in. We are to "occupy until He comes" (Luke 19:13).
