About Us
At 7 For Heaven, we are driven by a passion to revive, reclaim, and redeem souls for Christ through a grace-filled approach. Our ministry focuses on three core groups: those who are already churched but need spiritual renewal, those who were once churched but have drifted away, and those who have never encountered the love of God. We believe that no matter where someone is in their spiritual journey, there is always an opportunity for transformation.
Our program, Rev-Vangelism, blends revival and evangelism, reflecting our mission to spark spiritual renewal within the church and reach out to those who have yet to experience God’s grace. We work with individuals from all walks of life—whether they are housed or unhoused, churched or unchurched—because everyone deserves to feel the life-changing power of God's grace.
Our ministry offers a range of services, from revival sermons and prayer meetings that awaken the soul, to strategic planning and leadership training for churches and schools, ensuring that every aspect of spiritual and organizational life thrives. We are also committed to building stronger families and communities through parenting seminars, education-focused sermons, strategic planning, and family life teachings that equip people to live in harmony with God’s principles.
At 7 For Heaven, we believe in practical, grace-driven ministry that meets the needs of a grace-hungry world. Our goal is to help people not only find their way to God but to ignite a passion in them to reach out to others, continuing the cycle of grace and growth. Whether you're seeking a spiritual revival, looking to strengthen your community, or yearning for deeper connections, Rev-Vangelism is here to walk with you on that journey.
The Churched
These are people who go to church, but sometimes their heart’s fire for God gets a little weak. We help revive their fire so they can feel excited about God again.
The Unchurched
These are people who have never been to church or learned about God. We want to redeem them, which means helping them light their fire for the very first time so they can feel God's love.
Imagine you have a campfire. Sometimes the fire burns brightly, but other times it starts to fade, and you need to add more wood to keep it going. "Rev-Vangelism" is like helping people add wood to their inner campfire—the fire in their hearts that makes them feel close to God and others.
There are three groups of people we want to help:
Our Mission: Rev-Vangelism
The Once Churched
These people used to go to church but stopped for some reason. We want to reclaim them, like finding an old friend and bringing them back to the campfire to feel warm and loved again.
Seed in Soil (The Beginning of Life)
An image of a seed planted in rich soil, symbolizing the early stages of the human soul, when growth and potential are buried deep within. This represents faith or a spiritual awakening, small and unseen, but full of potential.
We believe nature can symbolize the development of the human soul and highlights key stages of growth, transformation, and maturity, much like the human spiritual journey.
Growth, Renewal, and Transformation
Zechariah 4:6, which says, "Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit," says the Lord Almighty, conveys a powerful message about the source of true strength and success. Here's an explanation of the meaning behind this verse:
Context
This verse is part of a vision given to the prophet Zechariah. At the time, the people of Israel were working to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem after returning from exile. The task seemed overwhelming, especially because they were a small group, without the resources or military power of their past. Zechariah's message was meant to encourage Zerubbabel, the governor overseeing the temple's reconstruction, that despite the challenges, the work would be accomplished—but not through human strength.
Key Themes
-
"Not by might nor by power"
This part of the verse emphasizes that human strength, military force, political power, or wealth are not what ultimately bring about God's purposes. Often, people rely on their own abilities, resources, or influence to accomplish their goals. However, this text reminds us that God's work does not depend on human might or authority. -
"But by My Spirit"
God makes it clear that His Spirit is the true source of strength and success. It is the Holy Spirit who guides, empowers, and brings about God’s will. Whether rebuilding the temple or accomplishing any task in life, God’s Spirit works in ways that human efforts cannot. It reminds us of the need to depend on divine guidance and strength. -
"Says the Lord Almighty"
The Lord Almighty is a title that underscores God’s supreme power and authority. When He says it is by His Spirit, it carries the weight of absolute assurance. No matter how impossible the task might seem, God's Spirit can make it happen.
Meaning for Today
This verse is a reminder that human achievements, while valuable, are insufficient for accomplishing God’s divine purposes. Success, especially in spiritual matters, does not come through human ability alone, but through reliance on the Holy Spirit. It encourages us to trust in God, knowing that He can work through us when we are filled with His Spirit.
Whether facing personal challenges or seeking to fulfill a God-given mission, Zechariah 4:6 teaches that victory comes through reliance on God's Spirit, not on human power or might.
Sprouting Plant (Awakening of the Soul)
A delicate sprout breaking through the surface of the soil, reaching toward the light. This can symbolize the initial awakening of the soul as it begins to search for spiritual truth, hope, and guidance, moving from darkness into light.
Blooming Flower (Spiritual Maturity)
A vibrant, fully bloomed flower, representing a soul that has reached spiritual maturity. The flower’s petals are open wide, symbolizing the soul's acceptance of divine love, wisdom, and purpose. This image portrays inner peace and spiritual fulfillment.
Tree with Deep Roots (Resilience and Strength)
A large, sturdy tree with deep roots going into the earth. This symbolizes a soul that has matured through life’s trials, gaining wisdom and strength. The roots represent a deep connection with God and a solid foundation in faith, while the branches and leaves reaching outward symbolize spreading kindness and love to others.
Flower Bud (Developing Faith)
A plant with an unopened flower bud, symbolizing the development of faith and the soul. This stage represents the process of learning, self-discovery, and growing closer to God, where there is beauty and purpose, but the fullness has not yet been revealed.
The next time you step outside, take a moment to observe the world around you. In the rustling leaves, the blooming flowers, and the steady growth of trees, you may just find a reflection of your own spiritual journey—and a reminder that God is with you every step of the way.
Finding God in Nature Every Day
7 for Heaven" is a simple yet powerful outreach initiative designed to foster spiritual growth, community engagement, and personal connection through prayer, kindness, and care. Our goal is to pray for seven people, invite seven into meaningful conversations or events, and minister to them through acts of kindness.
