KLI News & "Launching the Arrows of the LORD!"

By Tim Taylor October 28, 2022 -  Great news! The resources came in and we are overhauling our website. 
​
Know that, if you have signed up using PayPal's auto-donation feature for the Kingdom Academy that soon, that service is coming down and you will need to cancel your PayPal autopayment.  Unfortunately, we cannot do that for you.  PayPal requires that you manage that.  As our website comes online we'll re-present our Kingdom Academy and we are developing a new area for members of our Tribe and Family.

Addressing Cancel Culture
We are moving our website to a different platform to make us less likely to be canceled.  Secondly, we are changing banks, payment processors, social media platforms etc... We are doing all of this to maintain our liberty to speak the truth.  It is expensive.  It takes time and a signficant amount of effort and I ask for your patience and your prayers.   Click here to follow us on Rumble and click here for Gab. 

With that in mind, this is the perfect time to review the three kinds of covenant relationships offered through KLI, their requirements, benefits and signs. In fact, this is the perfect time to teach you about covenant.  Did you know there are five elements of covenant?  Did you realize that contracts are a descendant of covenant.  

What's the Difference Between a Covenant & a Contract?
First, there are five elements of covenant.  Covenant's:

1. Are written.
2. Involve an oath (verbal agreement).
3. Have signs.
4. Include benefits.
5. Consequences for breaking covenant. 

Contracts include the same elements.  Do you know what makes a covenant different from a contract?

• Covenant prioritizes the relationship over the delivery of goods and services.
• Contracts priotize the delivery of goods and services over relationship. 

A New Benefit for Covenant Members of our Family & Tribe
Just before our summit we had enough resources come in such that we were able to act upon input from the previous leadership summit. This is a big investment on our part and it was motivated by  our efforts to be a better steward of the gifts, talents and assignments of those within KLI.  

This provides the perfect opportunity to revisit our three kinds of covenant relationships.  By the way, this article covers some but not all that is contained in the video.  So, I strongly urge you, take the time to listen and learn.

Three Kinds of Covenant Relationships Available in KLI
​I'm a James kind of guy.  Show me your faith without your works and I will show you my faith by what I do.  Hence, when we get a revelation, we look at how to apply it today.  That's what I did with CONECT/ORT/1Church1Day.  That's what led to the three kinds of covenant relationships. It's the application of this truth.

Rather than rehearse all that I just did during the leadership summit, I'm going to encourage you to click here to hear the 1st apostolic directive regarding the altar and worship. In this message I'll explain the role of tithe, covenant and how it is a sign of who you go to war for.  

Click here to hear the 2nd apostolic directive which highlighted the importance of covenant and government today.  We have a Constitutionally legal and Biblical way to respond to the lawlessness being exercised by our civil government. Discover how.

Fellow Workers
This is the first level of covenant relationship.  This is where everyone starts.  The Bible teaches us that "where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."  Today treasure is measured in two things.  Time and money.  

Now remember that covenant prioritizes relationship over goods and services.  Hence, it is relationship with our heavenly Father and with each other that is most important.  The principle of communication, see my book "Developing Apostolic Strategy," teaches us that our communication lines and supply lines are one in the same.  With this in mind a Fellow Worker is anyone who:

• Joins us in prayer (ie. Thursday night Call to Pray for our Nation)
• Joins us on Sundays for a gathering of the ekklesia
• Gives tithes and or offerings
• Gives of their time and skills to assist "on a regular basis" is considered a member of the Fellow Workers.

Years ago, I studiend Hebrews 13:7 and 17 where it says to obey those who rule over you for they give an account of your soul.  I asked the LORD, "how do I know whose soul you hold me accountable for?"  The tithe was one of the signs.  Click here for Session 2 for an explanation.  Bottom line, the tithe is one of the signs indicating whom we are to go to war for.  

One of the things you will learn is that we take our service as a minister of the gospel very seriously.  It is a sacred duty as the primary purpose of giving is ...... WORSHIP.

As a minister we take your gift before our LORD and we worship with it as well.  Then, depending upon the type of gift, we will also pronounce the covenant blessing that goes with your form of giving.  Then, following Jesus example in Hebrews 7, when then intercede for the giver.  

That's one of the benefits of covenant.  Another benefit has to do with not only our prayer but also counsel. We get many requests from many around the world for services, advice, money, resources, etc.... but we priortize our limited time and resources using covenant.  Fellow Workers, Tribe and Family members in KLI recieve our attention first, compared to others because it is the right and honorable thing to do.  

What's required on the Fellow Workers part?  Pray and obey.  Your giving of your time, talent, offerings and tithes is based upon your relationship with our heavenly Father and our shared common vision, values and assignment. It's a realationship united in purpose.   

We pay attention to that.  We count everyone's tithe and offering the same.  It is holy to our LORD.  Many who are Fellow Workers are also ministers.  

Family & Tribe
While we want to see everyone launched into their destiny in Christ, it is the covenant members of our Tribe and Family that we will launch our of KLI publically through our website.  Remember, covenant prioritizes relationship first.  Relationship with our heavenly Father and relationship with each other is next. But what unites us, what connects us, is our common passion and assignment in Christ.  We are united in purpose and the covenant facilitaes good communication and teamwork.

Who makes up our Family and Tribe? Ministers, churches and ministries who share our passion and desire to be:

• Mentored to learn to think, plan, pray and act like an admiral, a general, or an apostle.
• Commissioned and sent into their destiny as a minister of the gospel into any of the 7 spheres of society.
• Held to a higher level of accountability as a leader.
• Allied with KLI so that we go to war (spiritually speaking) upon their behalf in case they get in trouble.
• Counted as an affiliate ministry so that they can operate as a 508c1a or use our 508c1a to establish a church.
• Eligible to serve in Church government within KLI on an elders council and or as a chair of a council representing one of the 7 spheres of society.
• Presented as part of our cadre of services (books, trainings, etc.) and speakers offered through KLI's website.

What is the difference between a Family or a Tribe member?  Usually everyone starts off as a Fellow Worker, and then seeks to relate as a Tribe member.  Those that become Tribe members ussually see me as a mentor, consultant or trainer or an older brother in the LORD or a peer who helps them develop as a strategic or aposolic leader.  These are those who usually have been ordiained through another ministry but recognize we offer something they lack.  Overtime, as our relationship grows, some disire to relate to me as a father in the LORD or, they are someone who seeks to relate as family.  There are not many in this category. 

Greater Requirements
A greater covenant has greater requirements.  What are they?

1. A tithe or a portion of the tithe.  To worship our LORD we ought to follow the pattern we find in scripture.  The first priority is to ask our heavenly Father where He'd like us to put the tithe or first-fruits. He tell us to take our tithes and offerings where "He chooses to make His name abide."  The second question we encourage people to ask is, who is God using to equip you for worship and for spiritual war?  These are two questions Brenda and I have used to years to determine where our tithe is distributed.
2. You have to examine our 20 page charter and determine if you agree to the vision, missions, values and the Church government as presented and then sign the oath and publically confess it.  This is part of us walking out the 5 elements of covenant.  
3. When you sign the oath, you are asked a question.  How much of the tithe is God asking you to give.  That is what you commit to.  That commitment is based upon what our heavenly Father required of you.  That is what our Father requires of you.  God watches over His word to perform and so ought you and I.  
4. Regular communication through giving, emails, letters, training, prayer meetings, phone calls and coming to the required annual meeting.  No communication for 6 months leads to the termination of this covenant agreement. 
   1. Understand that we watch these things to determine who'll be selected to serve in government of some sort of leadership capacity within KLI. 
   2. Remember, where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.  We watch to see where people's heart is at.  

So, here's a question that I would offer to every current member of KLI's Family or Tribe.  How are you keeping your word?  You asked our Father what He required you to do to enter into this covenant.   Ezekiel 12:25 and 28 teach us that God watches over His word to perform it.  Therefore, so ought we.  

I'm Interested in Learning More about the Family & Tribe
If you'd like to learn more about KLI, I encourage you to get our book Structures and Strategies.  If after reading this and you'd like to to be consider for membership then make sure you've become a Fellow Worker (sow tithes, offerings, and join us on our prayer calls etc..) reach out and let us know.  We'll begin the process of getting to know you.  We are in no hurry to enter into covenant.  We believe God needs to speak to both of us.   If you have questions click here.
