The Revelation of God – Becoming a Son

2019 September 15th Streaming

 

John tells us in 1 John 2:13: I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. We can quote this verse, but have we ever asked ourselves what these fathers know? Who is ‘him’ and what do they understand? There has always only been one revelation and one mystery from before the foundation of the world, and that one revelation reveals the plan, intent and purpose of God. We are even told by Paul that all creation waits eagerly for the revealing, the manifestation of this very revelation. Bible scholars have compartmentalized the bible, while all along never understanding the simple spiritual revelation beneath it all. Jenny and I will teach together today. So let’s discuss what these spiritual fathers understand.

The Inward Man: The mind of the flesh vs the mind of the Spirit Part-2

2019 September 8th Streaming

 

Last week we looked at our three part make-up of spirit, soul and body. And our body-soul oneness of identity.  Through this discussion, we reviewed the mind of the flesh. We saw how God activated these two part of man’s identity. And, how this part of human make-up affects who we are, how we think and see ourselves through the mind of the flesh.  This week we will review the mind of the spirit, what it means to us and in us spiritually.  We will find the meaning of the mind of the spirit, the inner man and who or what guides this inward man!  Also, is there a difference of the renewing process?  Let’s talk about it…

The Inward Man: The mind of the flesh vs the mind of the Spirit Part-1

2019 September 1st Streaming

 

This week in fellowship we’re going to look at the inward/new man and the mind of flesh verses the mind of the spirit.  The process of Sonship goes lacking in the Body of Christ, the Church for two basic reasons.  First, it’s a mystery and must be revealed by God the Holy Spirit.  Next, far too many teach or preach things they have not seen or heard spiritually.   They grasp what is academic and intellectual and lay claim that there’s nothing else available to see or hear from God!  Why?  Because everything in man-made religion is taught concerning the mind of flesh and the outer man’s theology.  The spiritual identity of Inward man, the Son is nowhere to be found! So, let’s take a closer look at the Inward/new man and the mind of the flesh vs the mind of the spirit.  Let’s talk about it…

The birthing: Our Spiritual Identity and the Inner man

2019 August 25th Streaming

 

This week in fellowship we are going to take a deeper look at the birthing, our spiritual identity and the inward man.  This message will lay the foundation for our message next week on “the mind of the flesh vs the mind of the Spirit.”  Between these two messages the Father will open our eyes to see more of His revelation in spiritual Sonship!  As we’ve said many times before, the mystery of spiritual Sonship is an ongoing revelation of who we are in Christ as the Son of God! So, let’s talk about it..

2019 Sonship and Identity Conference (Aug) in Chicago

It has been a blessed and wonderful weekend from our Father! The process of Sonship is at work in all who have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying concerning our true spiritual identity in Christ as the Son of God to the Father!  We had a wonderful walk on the pier Friday night with everyone who joined on zoom.  There were two powerful messages by brother Kurtis and a precious word from our dear brother Pete Saturday!  Brother Pete hosted the conference this weekend! We thank the Father for his love and hungry in the process of Sonship! Our dear brother and sister Chris and Mylinda Serrizo drove in from Kansas City to fellowship this weekend! Amen! I trust the Father we will hear from one or both of them.  I thank my Father for all He’s revealing in His Son as David.  Katherine and I have been refreshed!

Me and Jesus Part 2

2019 Aug 11th Streaming

 

This week we will conclude the two-part teaching titled Me and Jesus. Born again believers are in an identity crisis and they are becoming helplessly disillusioned. As a result, they are leaving the church in record numbers; for the churches have merely shifted the guilt from what they were doing as sinners – to what they are not doing as believers. Nothing in their lives has changed. They have only changed who and what they are conforming to. They traded a life of conforming to the world for a life of trying to conform to Jesus. Every day they awake in the do-loop of trying and failing. If the ‘Me and Jesus’ understanding were a tree, conformity and change would be its fruit. The born-again are weary and stressed. But Jesus said in Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest”. We are going to drive a stake through the heart of those lifeless delusions and set free the captives. 

Me and Jesus

2019 Aug 4th Streaming

 

This week we will be teaching on the spiritual cognitive dissonance of “Me and Jesus” and the mystery of Sonship and new spiritual identity In Christ as the spiritual Son of God!
Cognitive Dissonance is the mental conflict that occurs when our beliefs, concepts or assumptions are contradicted by new information. We have a strong inner need to ensure that our beliefs, our identities and our behaviors are consistent. When what you believe is challenged, something must change in order to eliminate or reduce the dissonance caused by the lack of agreement. Today’s Christians are faced with spiritual cognitive dissonance when their strongly held religious concepts are challenged by the revelation of spiritual union, oneness and identity. It would be better if we were either hot or cold concerning this revelation – that we would receive it with hunger or reject it with vehemence. But we do neither. We choose to live in a lukewarm state that compromises the spiritual identity of the son and the identities of our flesh. We convince ourselves that no conflict really exists. In our secular wisdom, we bring Christ down to the flesh and create a coexisting relationship between ourselves and Christ. As a result, almost every Christian sees their spiritual identity from the perspective of ‘me’ and ‘Jesus’. 

“This two-person gospel (me and Jesus) creates a comfortable space where we can live out our relationship with God as His adopted child. Conforming and changing ourselves into the image of Jesus. Doing all of this through our faith in Christ.”

If you can find no problem with what I just said – then my friend you are deeply entrenched in the delusion of religion and the two-person gospel. I want to spend the next two weeks discussing eight of the most common erroneous ‘concepts’ that come out of our spiritual cognitive dissonance. I only ask that you listen and approach this teaching with an open heart. These erroneous spiritual ‘concepts’ keep us in religious bondage and distract us from learning and understanding who we truly are as the sons of God. Let’s talk about it…

What ties you-holds you

2019 July 28th Streaming

 

This week in fellowship we’ll talk about “the cord that ties us also binds us” .  There are only a few examples we can use to explain our spiritual foundation, identity and contrast with the flesh.  Given the fact the all examples breakdown at some point, God the Father has provided us with a few instances which take us into places of spiritual explanation that communicate a God idea.  It just doesn’t breakdown as easily as others.  With that said we are going look at the umbilical cord of a baby and it’s power over life and identity. This subject has a great wealth of information and knowledge associated with it.  So we’ll only be able to hit just the highlights to take us into what we need to see in spiritual birth and the ongoing mystery of Sonship. Let’s talk about it…

What is Man’s Deepest Need? Part 2

2019 July 21th Streaming

 

Last week in Sunday fellowship we look at and answered to the question “What is Man’s Deepest Need?” We found that it is “spiritual identity” and it is a need placed within every human being from the day we are born. We also discussed the difference between our “deepest need” and our “greatest need”. Our greatest need is subjective and situational. This need can and does change over time. The greatest need of a fifteen year old can be drastically different than a thirty-three or forty year old. Yet, the deepest need is the same each of them. It is fixed and absolute!

This week we will finish with a look at man-made religion’s inability to acknowledge our deepest need. Remember, man-made religion has no answer for “man’s deepest need” because the question is outside of its theology, ideology, doctrine and belief. And of course, man’s deepest need is spiritual. Remember, man-made religion has no answer for “man’s deepest need”because the question is outside of its theology, ideology, doctrine and belief. And of course, man’s deepest need is spiritual. Because in man-made religion spiritual identity has to do with works of the flesh, they must find a provision for your flesh. Enter Paul’s use of the word “adoption”. Can this be the answer to understanding spiritual birth and spiritual identity? Let’s talk about it…

What is Man’s Deepest Need?

2019 July 14th Streaming

 

This week we will take a look at “What is Man’s Deepest Need”.

In my recent mission to Ghana I shared a two-bedroom living with my good brother and friend, Pastor David Griffin.  One night we were having a great discussion and as we were concluding David turned to me and said, “David, do you know what is man’s deepest need?”  At that moment I had a lot of thoughts going through my mind but none seemed satisfactory to give him an answer. So, I replied “no, what?”  His answer that came forth was piercing and complete.  It tied everything together I knew and was learning in Christ as the Son of Son my Father! The Father lead me deeper into Himself to see something which was there but yet not understood.  I had been teaching on this and talking about this word for many years.  But that night it was new dept of spiritual insight.  It’s what we call “fresh bread” right from the oven!  David’s answer echoed in the mind of my Spirit for the rest of that night.  And the rest of the trip.  So, let’s talk about it…
