Religious Knowledge vs Revelation Knowledge
Pastor Ricley takes us through Scripture to explain the difference between knowledge we gain through religious experience and revelation knowledge that comes from God Himself. Scripture: 1 Cor 2:1-15, John 3:3-11, Luke 18:18, 1 Cor 1:17-31, Jer 31:15, Matt 2:18
Led By The Spirit
Apostles were scattered in Acts, and it sounds like Philip went to Samaria by choice. He went by Divine Appointment because the time was now ripe for them to receive and be saved. Peter & John were led by Spirit to go and lay hands on those people so they’d receive the Holy Spirit. What God did in the Apostles, He will do in us as we learn to exercise…
Born of God
We are the offspring of God, why do we live at a level lower than that? We’re born of God but the church has a dysfunctional attitude about the flesh coming into righteousness. Christ is meant to be manifested through us in authority and power but we have to let out lives be altered by God. Acts 9:1-12, John 1:8-13, 1 John 3:2-16
Holy Spirit Wind
The wind of the Holy Spirit is moving through the church and it will only take a spark to create a fire! We need to be in prayer about the gifts and fruit of the Spirit in us and the church. Scripture: Ezra 7:12-18, Ezra 8:21-28, 1 Cor 12:1-3, 1 Cor 12:31, 1 Cor 13:1-13, 1 Cor 14:26-33
Substance
We are learning quickly that we can’t depend on the flesh. We need the Voice, we need the Word moving in us. Faith has to become substance, not hope. Scripture: Isa 38:1-8, Isa 39:1-8, 2 Chron 32:7-8, 2 Chron 32:30-31, 2 Kings 20:4-5, John 6:4, John 7:25-35, Luke 13:24-25, Matt 25:5-10, Heb 10:5-38
The Nucleus Is Christ
God ordains how things operate in the physical realm and we have no right to mess with His design. It’s the same in the Spiritual realm – we have no right to mess with truth, His plan, His timing. We need Him at the very center of all we do, say, think in order to be effective for His Kingdom. Scripture: John 20:19-23, John 20:26-21:18
The Transformed Mind
We want the territory we are to be the safest place for God to inhabit so we can take Him behind enemy lines and we’ll be part of a defense that won’t back up. The only obstacle we have to being those kinds of soldiers is our minds. God starts with the premise, ‘Lay down your will”, “present yourself as a living sacrifice” and He will…
The Two Anointed Ministries
Pastor Ricley teaches about the two anointed ministries talked about in the Book of Revelation. Scripture: Matt 5:1-5, Haggai 1:1-8, Zech 4:1-14, Rev 1:10-20, Rev 10:7-11, Rev 11:1-13
Seeing Jesus
The church needs to learn to discern what’s going on in the Spirit realm, but that’s impossible to do with so much flesh in the way. The Five Fold Ministry doesn’t finish the work in us that God intends. Only Jesus can do that, so we must grow to see Him as He is. Scripture: John 4:1-29, Matt 16:5, Exod 13:20-22, Exod 14:19-20, Exod 40:33-38, Rom 5:15
Spirit vs Intellect
Satan plays to the ego of humanity and works against the people of God. If we look at what he’s done in the past, we would know what to expect now. Our intellect will throw out the parts of the Bible we don’t like, but God expect His people to sort out the spiritual things. Our intellect won’t take us where God wants us to go. Scripture: Rom 9:8-13,…
