Roberts Liardon calls this an invasion of ambassadors, “Operation 500”.  It is a strategic, invasive operation for the kingdom of God, with the mission to saturate the nations with the full gospel of Jesus Christ.  The mission is defined;  its actions are intentional and resolved.  We have embraced the fact that the body of Christ is called to be an army.  We are to act like one, talk like one, function like one—but our militancy is towards the blessing of mankind—the salvation of their souls, the healing of their bodies, the prosperity for their lives.  Roberts Liardon believes that operation 500 is a progressive army of ambassadors, equipped with the divine combination of the Word and the Spirit. 

Pastor Roberts Liardon sees it as a divine strategy which was planned before the foundation of the earth.  God issued the call, and voiced it through Jesus Christ as He commanded us in Mathew 28 saying, “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.  GO YE therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the World.”  Verses 18-20

In addition, Roberts Liardon indicates that God had a specific plan, with a specific call, for a specific generation in a time such as this.  And God has specific believers in mind—anyone called “ye”.  You are probably reading this because you are one of those believers chosen to invade the hard nations of the earth. 

 

The Call to begin Operation 500

Roberts Liardon on how it all began….

In May of 1998 Roberts Liardon was sitting in southern Florida, and as he prayed, God came into his hotel room.  But to his great surprise God said, “I don’t like your Bible College.”

The two-year school, Spirit Life Bible College (SLBC) was six years old in 1998.  It had been the emphasis of much hard work and focus, now fully accredited with a variety of instructors who were seasoned with ministry-life experience.  The Bible College Roberts Liardon founded highlighted the unique combination of blending the Word and the Spirit in its classes. Roberts Liardon felt that the school graduated high quality people.  SLBC had been recommended throughout the world by the best of ministers and churches.

God continued, “I don’t like what Roberts Liardon’s graduates are doing.  “Roberts Liardon asked, “Well what are they doing?”  Instantly He gave Pastor Roberts Liardon a quick vision on the inside of his spirit of what the majority of them were doing.  Some of them had gone back to their home churches to work on staff.  Some of them had gone into the ministry field as pastors, evangelists, and other areas of the five-fold.  A few had gone into the nations.  But most of them had gotten jobs and settled back into the church as workers and members.  Roberts Liardon thought all of that was okay and fine by his view.

After Roberts Liardon saw this quick vision, the Lord continued, “I don’t like what they are doing.  They have been trained for something more than that.”  Roberts Liardon replied, “Well, when they come to Leadership Conference during Alumni Week, I’ll anoint them all and stir them up again.  I’ll encourage them to get out there and do what they’re supposed to do.”  “No you will not, “ God replied, “Well -- what do you want me to do?”  Roberts Liardon was puzzled but paid full attention.  Roberts Liardon knew that God was very serious.  Then God began to teach Roberts Liardon.

God said “I want to give you a characteristic of the new millennial Church.  Throughout the 80s and 90s, most pastors described their churches by how many people they had as members or by how many attended their church services.  “Now, churches will continue to grow.  But those that begin to obey My emphasis for the new millennium will be to talk about this:  For I am sending ‘sending power’ to the churches that are following Me in full pursuit. “They’ll talk about how many they ship—not how many they’ve kept in their chairs or pews.  The cares of the new millennial Church will not be how many have left their churches for the mission field of the world—but how many have remained in the seats.

“The churches will continue to grow and the local church will be important, but ‘sending power’ I’m putting back into the Church, for it has not been there for many a decade.  “It’s been in some churches, but for most it’s been a visitation and not residential.  But I’m bringing it back as a residential anointing and operation of My churches that are following Me in full pursuit.”  Roberts Liardon saw it and understood it.  Then God continued, “And I’m going to give it to you and put it in your church.”

Roberts Liardon quickly received it and got all excited about it.  God was going to put a new anointing in Roberts Liardon’s Ministry!  Not just any anointing, not just a visitation - - but a residential anointing was coming to live in Roberts Liardon church!  This was great!

 

Then God said to Roberts Liardon, “I want you to send 500 of your graduates to the nations of the world where there has been little to no Gospel, and let them labor and work for a minimum of one year—and you pay for it.”  the shock of God’s command almost deafened Roberts Liardon.  Mr. Liardon said, “Excuse me?”  At that time, Roberts Liardon hadn’t even graduated 500 students form the Bible College!  And pay for it?  Roberts Liardon thought God was testing him.  The Lord repeated the same sentence to Roberts Liardon.  God said it again: “..and you pay for it.”  Mr. Liardon’s voice was a little squeaky, but he still asked, “Are You serious?”  Roberts Liardon reeled as his mind took total control and whirled in about fifty directions.  It took three people to take care of his schedule—how would he take care of 500 people and their schedules?  Some of the people in the school hadn’t even been to Canada or Mexico—how could I get them to go to the hard nations of the world!  Shaking his head, Roberts Liardon quizzed God again, “Are you sure, Lord?”  He wouldn’t even answer him.

Roberts Liardon had a quick vision in his heart of the overall plan - where he’d been, where he was, and where he was going.  After Ps. Liardon saw that, he just threw his hand in the air and said, “Well Lord — if that’s what You want me to do -  okay!  I’ll do it!”  When Roberts Liardon obeyed, God started talking to him again.  The Lord said, “as a sign to you that this is My perfect will for you and your church, in the next two months I am going to pay off all your ministry bills.  And then I’ll begin to send money to you to help get the first ones out.”  Roberts Liardon was thrilled.  He knew the money Roberts Liardon Ministries owed.  And Mr. Liardon knew it was going to take God to get him out of debt.  Aside from being in a building project in Southern California, Roberts Liardon was also in a fight with the city over ridiculous permits— he needed money!

Money began to come to Roberts Liardon like water coming off a mountain!  It was wild!  The wildest story during those two months was when a lady in Florida handed Ps. Liardon a little pink bag with $130,000 dollars in it!  Things like that began to happen to Roberts Liardon during that entire summer of 1998.  It happened like that all summer long.  Roberts Liardon would just stand there, and people would come up to him and hand him checks.  Money came flooding in from the right and from the left, people cashing out bonds, or selling their cars and sending him the money.  Some of his partners sold land and sent the money to Roberts Liardon Ministries.  It was absolutely wild!

The Lord had given Roberts Liardon an exact amount that He would give him as a sign that this was His will for us.  The exact amount came in.  And it kept coming in!
