Can a man become The Son as The Son became a man?

2017 December 3rd Streaming

This week in Sunday Fellowship we will conclude with our message “Conception: The Power and strength of the Seed”. I’ve had several discussions concerning the height, depth, and breadth of the subject this past week. It was a joy and blessing for me to hear and see what our Father is teaching and revealing in His revelation of the mystery in-Christ! But at the same time, I have also come to see and hear the power of desensitization to the person of Christ. You would think a subject on “Conception: The Power and strength of the Seed” would bring overwhelming joy and liberty in our union, oneness, and Identity as Sons birthed by the Father. Sadly not everyone can receive or believe in the power and strength of The Seed! But why not? Simple, desensitization and the two-person gospel!

Many of us have read our Bibles for years and have never come to the on-going knowledge of the truth that is in Christ. The mystery. And, the revelation of that mystery. Why? Because far too many of us are as Paul says are “ever learning, and never able come to the knowledge of the truth”. Who or what has hindered so many of us? Maybe It’s our identity. No, not our identity which is given to us by the Seed of God The Father. Multitudes are stuck and bound by the identity given to us by the corruptible seed of an earthly father! We just don’t realize the power and strength of this seed and the way it affects and controls how we think, the way we feel and what we believe every breathing moment. For the past several months our Father has revealed the body-soul (box-suitcase) IOU of our old man. Followed by our IOU in Christ the new man (birthed as another person before God the Father). And yet, I perceive many may have been hindered because they have heard it once or twice. Sadly, this leads to the “the illusion of explanatory depth”. This will always lead to confusion and confirmation bias! This verse came to mind while talking with our Father about this message.

Furthermore, then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort [you] by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, [so] ye would abound more and more. 1Th 4:1

So, today we will conclude our talk concerning the foundation for freedom or captivity of our IOU’s, in The Seed!

Is “Revelation” for Today?

2017 November 12th Streaming

The church struggles today to understand the meaning and relevance of God’s revelation. For years I asked if revelation was applicable today; and if so, what does it look like? I would ask …. now that we have the Bible, is further revelation even needed? If I needed revelation, then how could I receive it? For over 30 years I bought volumes of books, study guides and bible commentaries. My spiritual suitcase was packed with the most eclectic combination of legalism, liberties, the shepherding and Lordship movement, pre, mid and post Tribulation Rapture theories, baptism in the Holy Spirit – or not. I had opinions on everything – but was sure of nothing. Sadly, this is the state of most Christians today.

For the born-again believer, spiritual revelation is at the core of knowing our Identity as Christ. ‘Revelation’ is the revealing of our new creation birthing and what drives the renewing of our minds and the knowledge of our oneness with the Identity of Christ. Without revelation we are forced to try to understand spiritual truths with our natural mind and destined to live the ‘two person’ Gospel – that gospel where Christ and I abide together in our ‘hearts’ as two separate people. It is that same gospel that forces me to be perfected and completed in the flesh. Revelation is beyond mere enlightenment. It is the spiritual deep thoughts and purposes of God, speaking and revealing to our spirit that we are the Sons of God.

I have traveled a long road to be standing here today. Is revelation relevant – is it for today? As our brother David would say, let’s talk about it.

 

Let’s walk on the Pier

2017 November 5th Streaming

The message this week will be somewhat challenging for many. Most of our beliefs and theology if not all comes from conformation bias and the illusion of explanatory depth. That’s either us or someone else placeing things into our carry-on bag (suitcase). That’s this weeks message is not for everyone. This message this week come with these two points:

Warning: We do not recommend overly trying to wrap your mind around the message today. Doing so will cause severer damage to your on-going “Box-Suitcase” theology and way of thinking. Please refrain from any attempts to fit this message into your religious belief system.

Disclaimer: The Word shared in the message today was not approved or sanctioned by any organizations or organizational theology, religious institutions or institutional doctrines. There is no denominational or non-denominational belief system or oversight which agrees or confirms the revelation of this mystery is safe to hear and receive.

But we declare to you, that the message and teaching which is revealed of us is not after man. For we neither received it of man, neither were we taught [it], but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

So, if take the

Blue Pill, it all ends here today and you continue to believe the way you’ve always believed
Red Pill, you stay and see just how deep the revelation of mystery can go

Opening up Galatians 1:1-16 Part 2

2017 Oct 29th Streaming

We will look at Galatians chapter 1 verses 1-16. In these verses Paul provides the Galatians with very in-depth insight into God the Father, the resurrection, the gospel of Christ, another gospel, the revelation of Christ and His Son. These sixteen verses are loaded with the mystery and power of desensitization to the person of Christ. Most of us have read these verses for many years. But today we want to review them verses by verses and allow our teacher God the Holy Spirit refresh and renew our minds. So, let’s take it from the top and see what the Spirit is saying.

Why truth don’t change your mind or set you free

2017 Oct 15th Streaming

We have been sharing with you these past few fellowships about our body and soul outer identity, what we have called the “box-suitcase” identity. We have also talked to you about our “spirit-soul”, our inner man true-identity. We have also discussed, how the IOU of Christ reveals the real person we were birthed by God to be and live spiritually. Our problem with living who we are as another person in Christ is hindered heavily by our box identities and suitcase (soul) thinking (things we’ve stuffed and stored for decades). Several months ago, I read an article from a study done in 1975 at Stanford University and other researchers.
“And here our dependence on other minds reinforces the problem. If your position on, say, (any subject) is baseless and I rely on it, then my opinion is also baseless. When I talk to Tom and he decides he agrees with me, his opinion is also baseless, but now that the three of us concur we feel that much more smug about our views. If we all now dismiss as unconvincing any information that contradicts our opinion, you get, well, organizational theology, institutional doctrine and denominational or non-denominational belief systems.”
Can you believe that, some or our beliefs may be baseless spiritually. “Our information comes directly from our pastor and he’s been preaching for many years. Plus he knows the Bible better than anybody I know. Ask anyone in our church and they’ll you the same thing. After all the Bible says “there’s nothing new under the sun”. We already have everything we need to know right here and now! So, there’s nothing you can say that will change my mind. I know what I believe and why I believe it.” Do you know someone like that? Have you heard things like or similar to that? Then you may know why the truth or facts cannot change someone’s mind or set them free to live as a new creation. Hey, maybe that sounds like you!?!? Let’s talk about it…

“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets”

2017 Oct 8th Streaming

The message this week is on a word Jesus said that many don’t understand and can’t receive. He said: “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.” Mat 5:17-18

As we read in our intro verses, we can see that these words which are spoken by the Lord Jesus are some of the most misunderstood and confusing words we have in the Bible today.  To the casual and unskilled reader (that would be almost everyone including Bible College and Seminary graduates and students) these words means the law is still intact for the believer and non-believer to follow.  They are key words for our salvation and pattern to live by.  I find very few preachers and Bible teachers who don’t use these words to defend their beliefs concerning God’s use the law today as He did in Jesus’ day. Even though He spoke these powerful words before the cross. Their value extends beyond to God’s purpose, intent and plan for all of humankind and not just the group who heard those words.

The theology of “since” the foundation of the world or before the world began  

All our knowledge and theology on this passage is built around the idea that Jesus to die on the cross for the sins of man. Man had fallen into sin and there no was way for him to be forgiven. Unless, God did something to help man become free from his sin. So, God gave man the “Law of God” to lead him back into the way God wanted him (man) to live.  But man, disobeyed God’s law and violated His commandments and deserved death. Again, God had to do something.  So, this time, God had to send His only begotten Son to die on the cross as a sinless sacrifice for the sins of man in a fallen world.  Which in part is correct. A small part.  This idea has been the driving force behind almost all of the gospel we have heard preached unto this day.  All of which is rooted and grounded in a knowledge of “since” the foundation of world.  This is the knowledge says that man is unworthy, undeserving, and never please God.So, let’s talk about it.

 

 

 

Why can’t just love cast out fear?

2017 Oct 1st Streaming

The message this week is question of “Why can’t love cast out fear?” The depth of this subject can seem endless. But it’s not. Our knowledge and understanding is the problem and the issue when it comes to love. Most of our foundation concerning love comes from basically two places. Really just two places? You might say. No, it’s only one place. But we need to see what two are used to keep us from the power of love.

The IOU debt of love
There are three Greek words used for “love”

-Eros: physical; bodily, and biological “The Box”

-Phileos: feelings, emotional, psychological “The Suitcase”

-Agape: a person, God is Love, “Spirit of God”

Only two of the words are used in the Bible. As humans, we find our foundation and ongoing knowledge and understanding of love comes from the first two words listed above. Why the those two? Because they were where we learned and found our union, oneness and identity of love. This would be the expression of the love which most of know and live. Now, let’s look at the two places which support our foundation of love that cannot cast out fear. Let’s talk about it!
