Your Divine Invitation: Access the Holy Spirit to Complete Your Assignment

by Frankie Mazzapica, Randy Clark (Foreword by)

Overview

After years of discontent, feeling a lack of the Holy Spirit’s power and believing for healings and miracles, Frankie Mazzapica was fighting insomnia one night when he decided to look for a book that would put him to sleep.

He downloaded Power from God by Charles Finney for his e-book reader. However, rather than sleeping, he stayed up and kept reading until he finished the book early the next morning.

Frankie says Finney’s book made him realize that “power from on high” is something that God wants for every believer. He decided to write Your Divine Invitation: Access the Holy Spirit to Complete Your Assignment to help Christians everywhere discover that power.

“The belief that only a small few are selected to receive supernatural power is a fallacy. God knows that before we have anything to offer, we must have His power,” Frankie says. “We have the same assignment the disciples did. If they needed power then, we need power now.”

Frankie’s mission statement is, “I live to walk with the Lord and share His love and His power.”

His conviction is that Jesus’ three-year ministry, where teaching and miracles attracted seekers and built disciples, is the model for today’s church. Believers should not rest until the same power displayed in the life of the Lord’s disciples is present in their lives.

Your Divine Invitation includes practical steps every believer can take to position themselves to receive God’s promised endowment of power.

About the Author

Houston native Frankie Mazzapica is the founding and lead pastor of Celebration Church of The Woodlands, Texas. Three people from the community were in attendance on the day that Frankie and his wife Allie launched the church in 2005.

Today, Celebration Church is a vibrant, multiplying community of believers. People experience a demonstration of God’s power in the form of physical healings, changed lives, emotional restoration, and deliverance. Celebration’s momentum and footprint continue to expand rapidly with multiple in-person services and a vast array of attention-grabbing digital platforms. Frankie’s encouraging, challenging, and humorous messages are nationally broadcast each Sunday on TBN.

Frankie has more than twenty-five years of experience in full-time ministry. Prior to planting their church, he and Allie served on pastoral staff with Joel and Victoria Osteen at Lakewood Church.

Frankie’s conviction is that Jesus’s three-year ministry, where teaching and miracles attracted seekers and built disciples, is the model for today’s church. Believers should not rest until the same power displayed in the life of the Lord’s disciples is present in their lives. Frankie’s mission statement is, “I live to walk with the Lord and share His love and His power.”

Your Divine Invitation: Access the Holy Spirit to Complete Your Assignment is Frankie’s first book. He wanted to share the practical steps every believer can take to position themselves to receive God’s promised endowment of power.

Frankie and Allie were married in 2001. They have two girls and one boy: Preslee, Luke, and Kate. They love the blend of urban and suburban life in The Woodlands, but they’ve built their home a half-hour away in the country, where one can see the shooting stars in the Texas night sky.

Editorial Reviews

Reneé and I have witnessed thousands of people receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit and their lives being radically changed as a result. However, of the many who were privileged to have such an experience, only a few were truly endued with power. Too often, the emphasis was placed on speaking in tongues rather than receiving an impartation of power. Pastor Frankie Mazzapica has locked in on a vital key of ministry today; being empowered with the Spirit, as evidenced by signs and wonders, is needed now more than ever. Your Divine Invitation has rekindled a deep hunger for a fresh impartation of power in my life and our churches. People desperately need it, and the times demand it. Thank you, Pastor Frankie, for writing this masterpiece on the empowerment of the Holy Spirit today.

Founding pastors, Triumph Church - Randy and Reneé Clark

Your Divine Invitation is an amazing call to enter and experience the realm of the supernatural. Read this book and learn from a great student who is becoming a great teacher-mentor. You will not be disappointed, and you will enjoy the journey with Frankie as your guide.

Founder, Global Awakening - Dr. Randy Clark

This book illuminates the roadmap for every believer to engage in the supernatural in their everyday life. Pastor Frankie takes the reader along his journey from someone who rarely experienced healings to someone who witnesses them on a weekly basis. His story is an undeniable testimony of the power of God working today through anyone who asks, seeks, and knocks. This book will surely stir your hunger for more of the Holy Spirit to work through your life.

Executive director, Elijah Rising - Micah Gamboa

With Your Divine Invitation, Pastor Frankie takes readers on a wonderful journey of humility, transparency, and vulnerability to allow them to grow and develop in the power of Christ, regardless of their starting point. He continually seeks to understand and has an uncanny ability to connect as “one of us,” seamlessly weaving Scriptures throughout. Frankie provides a credible foundation and a practical approach for readers to understand and act on this promise from God. These insights are wise beyond his years. I can’t wait to read it again for that next revelation!

Sometimes a book enters your life by divine intervention. I dare to believe that to be true for you as you read Your Divine Invitation. Some authors are just TV famous. But Frankie is that and far, far more for me. He is my son in the Lord, with whom I’ve been closely knit for over twenty years. The call of God on his life has been radiant since he was a young, rebellious kid who ran my sports car off the road in the middle of a snowstorm. He has always had the courage to say what he believes to be true, even if it is not entirely socially acceptable. Living up close to him, I have now had the priceless privilege to see him exercise all the Holy Spirit’s gifts he speaks of in this book.
My background is five full decades in full-time ministry, so I am not easily impressed or manipulated. But in truth, Jesus uses Frankie in one of the purest, most authentic ways I have ever experienced in my entire life. He gently but authoritatively moves in the gifts of the Spirit. He is big enough to say when he is occasionally off, “I must have missed it.” But more times than I can count, he is unmistakably on. The lasting fruit of his ministry shouts to prove it. Enjoy this book with a good cup of coffee and know that if you allow for it, it could irrevocably change your entire life. There is truly more to following Jesus and the fullness of the Spirit than many of us begin to realize.

Founder, Youth Leader’s Coach - Dr. Jeanne Mayo

So many believers are unknowingly missing the power component of their purpose equation. Frankie brilliantly makes a case for the need for the power of the Holy Spirit from on high, but he also walks you through the how and the hard questions when it comes to actually receiving and activating that power in your life. Being in the business world and in ministry, this book was a timely reminder for me personally of how essential that power actually is to complete my mission on this earth. Thank you for your obedience and openness to the Spirit of God, Frankie!

Healthy lifestyle specialist - Dan Valentine

This book is a download from a man’s secret place. We must be empowered by the Spirit. Why? We live in one of the most pivotal times in history for the believer. We must stand firm and walk in boldness. There is a constant attack from Satan on every front to bring the church and the bride of Christ down. As you read this book, your spirit will soar, and elements of your faith will be restored. Your Divine Invitation is a handbook to understand the Holy Spirit’s weapons imparted into you for your victory. Now is the time to walk in the Spirit. Are you ready? Prepare to embark on the Luke 24:49 and Acts 1:8 journey into the enduement of power!

Evangelist, Remnant Ministries International - Pat Schatzline

I first met Frankie Mazzapica over twenty years ago in Rockford, Illinois, when he was training youth pastors on how to be effective leaders with the renowned youth leader Jeanne Mayo. That’s why it is no surprise to me that Frankie is now training people all around the world on the power of prayer through his insightful book, Your Divine Invitation. This book will help you become an effective prayer warrior, but it will also give you insight into becoming a better all-around leader.
Over the past ten years, I have been privileged to lead worship at Pastor Frankie’s church on and off. At one service a few years ago, a guest went into full cardiac arrest and literally died on the platform during service while Frankie was interviewing her. I witnessed Frankie praying life over the lifeless woman, who was miraculously brought back to life. Pastor Frankie is a man who knows how to pray and believes what he teaches. I am honored to endorse this book for anyone who wants to grow in their relationship with Christ and walk with an understanding of God’s supernatural power through prayer.

Does God offer Christians supernatural power? If so, what is the purpose of this power, and how can one receive it? The church of today stands divided on these questions. Some would say that God no longer empowers believers as He once did. Others would say that He does but often fails to communicate how to receive it, and people misunderstand the purpose of the power. In his book Your Divine Invitation, Frankie answers these questions with biblical clarity. He also gives real-life examples of how an impartation of God’s power completely changed his ministry, his church, and the lives of thousands who have been beneficiaries of God’s power at work in Celebration Church. This book is a must for the person who truly wants to live out the divine call of being a power-filled witness of Jesus Christ.

Founding pastor, the Gathering Place Church - Matt Scott

This book our friend has written completely lines up with who we know him to be. Three words come to mind: honest, courageous, and committed. Frankie is honest in his writing about what he has learned and has still yet to learn. He is courageous in taking steps of faith that many of us would be too timid to take in believing for God to do great things. He is committed to pursuing who God is and what He wants to accomplish through His children.

Recording artists, Avalon Worship - Greg and Janna Long

Pastor Frankie has been an anointed guiding light in my family’s spiritual journey for over a decade. His God-given message inspires hope, faith, and an overarching belief in God’s plan for each of us. Frankie paints a bold vision that we must each seek and derive our power from God and the Holy Spirit. Only then will we truly be able to fulfill our divine assignment here on Earth. Through this book, Frankie guides us to desire the closeness of the Lord—not settling for anything less. My prayer is that this book will leave many blessed with a renewed conviction to achieve their full potential in their walk with the Lord and, most of all, learn to believe in miracles.
