What Is Foursquare ?

Foursquare is a biblical term first mentioned in the book of Exodus and lastly in the book of Revelation. Each of the ten biblical references containing the word foursquare , within the scriptural meaning, pertains to God's redemptive pattern. His acceptance of those who believe in Christ, and their worship of Him (Exodus27:1, I Kings 7:31, Exekiel 40:47 and Rvelation 21:16).

Foursquare is an appropriate term to describe the four phases of the ministry of

Jesus Christ, the Savior
Jesus Christ, the Baptizer with the Holy Spirit
Jesus Christ, the Healer
Jesus Christ, the Soon-Coming King.

Jesus Christ, the Savior

Jesus Christ is the only hope of humanity. Jesus loved us and died to save us from the dreadful penalty of our sin and rebellion. The salvation He brings begins with making a decision to put our faith in Him. That decision opens a lifetime of being healed, restored, delivered from oppression, and set free to stand in spiritual, emotionl, and physical wholeness (luke 4: 18).

Jesus Christ, Baptizer in the Holy Spirit

Some of Jesus' last words to His disciples concerned empowerment. Jesus charged His disciples to carry on the good works He modeled for them. He promised that He would send the Holy Spirit to give them the power to spread the good news about Him. On the Day of Pentecost, in Acts, the disciples experienced the presence and power of God as they became witnesses of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ, the Healer

Jesus went about "doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him (Acts 10: 38). Jesus draws us to Himself in love and then touches us with healing power. He perpetuates that healing power by promising that signs and wonders would follow His followers as they went out to minister (Mark 16: 17-18).

Jesus Christ, the Soon-Coming King

As Jesus ascended into Heven, the angels declared that He would return to take His Church to live with Him forever (Acts 1: 10-11). This is the great hope of those who believe in Jesus as their Savior (John 14: 1-3).
