You Are Meant to Fly
Yesterday’s sin, no matter how grievous, does not define the success of our relationship with God. We have the blood of Jesus to cover past sins, but we’re meant to go past the blood into perfection as we move from knowing about Jesus to truly having the revelation of Him and His expectation for our lives. He’s given us all the tools we need – we…
Restoring the Joy
The hardest thing we experience as Christians is moving from strength to strength – ours to His. We start out like David, thinking we’re doing it all right in our own power, and then God takes us through circumstances that show us who we really are & that it’s impossible to do it in our own power. It’s in failure that we learn to rest in His ability to carry us, to…
Apprehended For Perfection
Matt 5:48 commands that we “be perfect as our Father in Heaven is perfect”. We see that as impossible so we expect that to happen when we enter Heaven. God is getting us perfect as we move forward in relationship with Him. We want faith first, but God builds faith as we walk, not before. We were apprehended by Christ for perfection – on earth where the…
Buying Oil
We get concerned about the end times and the timeline of future events when we should be focusing on our daily relationship with God. Jesus tells us in Matt 25 about the five wise and five foolish virgins. Some went in to Him and some did not. The difference was not in the watching, like some doctrines proclaim. The difference was in possessing the oil. The oil comes…
Conform To The House
It doesn’t matter where we start – it matters what happens on the journey. God takes us through the wilderness to get rid of our flesh. We can respond like the children of Israel and rebel or we can surrender to His will for our life. The Bride is born in the Spirit realm.
Flesh Is The Beast
The Bible tells us that the “man of sin” is going to rise up. This is corporate man thinking and responding in the flesh. The Beast is the flesh without God. We will either belong to corporate man or corporate God – the Body of Christ.
God Is Our Solution
The flesh is coming into unity – the man of sin is rising up. But, the Bible has also promised a perfect man – the church in unity. We must learn to trust God now so we don’t lean on the arm of the flesh during tribulation. We are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:9
Perfecting Holiness
Our foundation for believing comes not from our intellect but from our sense of relationship with the Father. If we receive Him and put our confidence in Him, that relationship will grow continually. The Spirit in us starts as a baby and as we allow the fire of God to consume those things in us that do us harm and keep us from His perfect will, holiness is perfected in…
Who Is On The Lord’s Side?
The church denies that perfection is possible, yet God granted us robes of white linen and created in us a new man who cannot sin. We serve an indwelling God who teaches us to think like Him and reject sin. Through our surrender and consecration, our priestly garments, the world can see truth & the moral absolutes that God has created.
The Genesis of Jesus
What God started in Genesis He begins again in the New Covenant. Adam, created with the very breath of God was tasked with keeping the weeds out of the Garden, creating a place of sanctuary & peace, and to fill the earth with people – God’s family. God reopened the place of peace & tranquility to us with Jesus, and we’re tasked with multiplying life – Kingdom life – in…
