Personal Testimony- Ukraine Riot Stopped with Spiritual Authority

Published on: 14th February, 2022

This was my first experience with becoming the target of a full-blown riot. There was no reasoning with the crowd as they continued to shout, yell, and wave umbrellas in our direction. What had begun with our team quietly praying had now turned into a very dangerous situation. 

In my spirit I heard the Lord say, “You command this crowd.” Obediently, and without much consideration, I stepped forward and raised my hands up over the crowd and said, “In the name of Jesus, I command peace over this crowd!” 

“Kingdom exploits are always done in Jesus’ name, as Jesus’ ambassadors, as sons and daughters of the King. Authority is the Right to USE someone else’s power” - Quote from Dr. Rob Reimer on page 56 of his book titled ‘Spiritual Authority’

So there is a LOT going on in your metron that makes no sense. There is a lot that is not manageable using human wisdom, talent or academic knowledge. What makes it possible for everyone to be a metron manager in the Kingdom of God is that everyone who submits to Christ as Lord is authorized to use HIS power for HIS purposes. The believer finds themselves authorized to act and speak on behalf of the government … the government of heaven.

Follow along as I share my own testimony of discovering the operational power and authority of God that is available to us in Christ Jesus.

Friends, you can do this. You can learn to manage your sphere of influence with authority. I am going to continue to equip you as best as I can so that you can succeed as best as you can, in Christ Jesus.

The first investment in this effort to equip you regarding spiritual authority is going to come strait from the expert. Dr. Rob Reimer, author of the best book on spiritual authority I’ve ever read. He will be featured on an upcoming episode of this podcast.

WELCOME TO THE METRON MANAGER PROJECT!
My Name is Jonathan Nowlen and I am the Founder of the Metron Manager Project and the Author of the book titled Managing Your Metron: A Practical Theology of Work, Mission and Meaning.

The Metron Manager Project is all about equipping you to become who you were originally designed to be and find your place in the Kingdom of God.

“I believe that one of the next great moves of God is going to be through the believers in the workplace.”
— BILLY GRAHAM (LATE 2000)

God has given me a vision to be part of what many believe is the next great move of God by launching the Metron Manager Project. I have been fully engaged in the cause of Christ and His Kingdom enterprise for over 25 years. As such I have gained wide experience and perspective on the trajectory of the modern mission effort. As a missionary kid I grew up primarily outside the USA in remote and developing countries. After embracing my own call to serve in missions I began working in the socially and economically devastated regions of the former Soviet Union in the early to mid 1990’s. From there I participated in or led missional efforts from Southeast Asia to South America, and from Europe to Africa, covering 60 countries.

I’ve seen the edges of heaven and walked in the streets of hell. I’ve seen the power of God transform lives and nations through average believers like myself who have chosen to hear and obey. I believe that we are entering a new era of mission in spiritual history. This era is marked by the missionizing of believers in the marketplace. ‘On Mission’ is the new mode of every believer in every sphere of society. My book, Managing Your Metron, launched this Metron Manager Project with the aim of providing a reformational understanding of Work, Mission and Meaning.

The vision of the Metron Manager Project is to provide training, resources and theology that will recover the dignity and mission of vocation. Billy Graham’s prescient statement about the next move of God coming through believers in the workplace is a vision of the future that I and many others believe has now arrived. It is time to rethink mission and the Kingdom of God as a new era is upon us. Spiritual history is demanding a broadening of our understanding of what it means to respond to the Great Commission. (Matthew 28:18-20) I invite you to join in this journey to become a Metron Manager and recover the dignity and mission of your vocation.
