This week in Sunday Fellowship we will continue to talk about the resurrection of the saints. We covered the Old Testament view of the resurrection. As we discussed last fellowship The Sadducees didn’t believe in the resurrection because they didn’t see anything specific in the Torah to support the belief in resurrection.  The Pharisees believed in resurrection because they saw five passages in the Torah which they believed supported this idea.  How is it different from the new creation believer? (the name new creation should be self explanatory).  There still seems to be quite a bit of confusion surrounding this topic because far too many co-mingle Israel and the Body of Christ, the Church.

The vast majority of our confusion and ignorance comes from the desensitization to the person of Christ which would include:
denying or excluding the mystery which is in Christ,
denying or excluding the need for revelation by the Holy Spirit,
the illusion our ability to read means we can “understand” the information being read,
the need to tie the whole Bible together so that it makes sense to the carnal mind or the mind of the flesh,
not acknowledging or understanding the tripartite man,
the meaning of Spiritual birth or regeneration and it’s effect on the tripartite man,
the work of the Holy Spirit in salvation
the renewing of the mind.

Once again review just how many of those things listed above are critical for us to live Christ as our only life? Only one resurrection can create a new creation and another person spiritually.  All other resurrections cannot make anyone “New” or “Spiritually one” with God.  Yet they are important to God and His plan. But He has declared by the cross that the resurrection of Jesus Christ has the power to do something that no other resurrection can!   Let’s talk about Resurrection!

Happy Easter!  Or Happy Resurrection Sunday!  This has been a very busy week for us. But it seems that way for many of us these days. Don’t you think so?  This week in Sunday Fellowship we will talk about the resurrection of the saints. I know it’s Easter but for the past few months or weeks I’ve been in discussions concerning the Old Testament saints and their salvation and resurrection.  How is it different from the new creation believer? (the name new creation should be self explanatory).  There still seems to be quite a bit of confusion surrounding this topic because far too many co-mingle Israel and the Body of Christ, the Church.

The vast majority of our confusion and ignorance comes from the desensitization to the person of Christ which would include:
denying or excluding the mystery which is in Christ,

not acknowledging or understanding the tripartite man,
the meaning of Spiritual birth or regeneration and it’s effect on the tripartite man,
the work of the Holy Spirit in salvation
the renewing of the mind.

Think about these things for just a few minutes. Review just how many of those things listed above are critical for us to live Christ as our only life? Only one resurrection can create a new creation and another person spiritually.  All other resurrections cannot make anyone “New” or “Spiritually one” with God.  Yet they are important to God and His plan.

This Sunday is called “Palm Sunday.” Many of us were introduced to this precious time while learning the Easter story.  It’s the story of Jesus entering Jerusalem just days before the Jewish Passover. And, as he entered the city the people came to meet him saying, Hosanna: blessed is the King of Israel…
“Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed [is] the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord”. Jhn 12:13
The people of Israel were rejoicing and proclaiming God’s promise to them of a King. They cheered their Passover Lamb.Their promised Messiah (They didn’t know that yet)!  But at the same time while all this was happening a door was closing and another door is opening. Sadly, very few if any knew or saw what was really happening!   They were just days from the end of the “old” and the beginning of the “new”.  Their special membership to the “club” with all it’s unique benefits and exclusive private access were about to expire. Their “club” cards, access and contract were being revoked without renewal. And today many along with them are still claiming membership and access with the “old” invalid “club” cards and contract! Palm Sunday is the beginning of “access denied” for the “old” and “access granted” with the “new”! Let’s talk about it!

We are seeing a large number of believers and non-believers seeking and struggling to have victory in their lives! I’m somewhat amazed at what these people do to achieve what they perceive as victory. Let me name a few: speaking or making positive confessions; surrounding yourself with “positive people” (those who tell you what you want to hear) because anyone else brings negative vibes and hinder your victory; the power of positive thinking; positive things come from God and negative things come from the devil; and lastly our victory comes from standing on the promises of God. Again, these are only a few of the things many think feel and believe which are key factors in the pursue in their idea of victory. Let me say this as for move further into what the Spirit is saying on this subject. Almost all our thoughts and ideas of achieving victory is fear based and subjective. The victorious life so many seek to live is a fear based illusion and only leads to deception, captivity and delusional thinking! It’s outer and ultimately unfulfilling, unsatisfying and incomplete. So, what is victory? Where do we start? And by what mean do we take hold of it? Let’s talk about it…

As the words from an old Simon and Garfunkel song says “slip sliding away, slip sliding away, you know the nearer your destination, the more you’re slip sliding away”.  The days are coming and going so quickly, it appears many of us don’t have time to get it all done.  And some of the ones that do appear to get it all done seem run down, beat-up and drained physically, emotionally and spiritually (Body, Soul and Spirit). Our tripartite man seems to be “slip sliding away” especially the body and soul parts. How often do you hear or even use the words “behind the power curve”?  I used it twice this past week. Is there something many are missing when it comes to body and soul living?  The body we live in has down motivation built into every fiber since the day man was created.  And you cannot fix that with a “positive mind set”.  In fact the pull of the body’s down motivation is so strong that the mind is subject to the same motivational destiny.  With that said, it seems far too many are on the fast track daily to being run down, beat-up and drained physically and emotionally! What can we do? What can the Father do? Where do we start to get a handle on keeping under the body and stopping the sliding away?  Is this something we work for or just let it happen or trust our Father to work it out over time?  Do the Apostle Paul know something about keeping his body that many may not have seen?  Let’s talk about it!

Sunday morning we will address a subject rarely discussed or talked about,  “The Reprobate Mind.”
What is a reprobate? What is the mind that has brought about this identity?  Can a believer have a reprobate mind?  This is a unique subject that far too many fail to discuss. And those who do, unfortunately, do not address it from the revelation of the mystery which is in Christ! So, let’s talk about it!

First, I want to thank each of you who responded to the email sent out this week concerning the message for fellowship. We were blessed and encouraged with all of your replies and will be doing both messages. The question was which one would we do in this Sunday’s fellowship?   I’ve been working on two message thoughts.  One is entitled, “The Reprobate Mind”  and the other is “Our intimate love affair with Fear”.  At the time of this email tonight, 77% said they would like to hear “Our intimate love affair with Fear”.  There were some interesting comments on why this message will be discussed first.  I trust the Father to follow this message with “The Reprobate Mind” next week. Both messages carry a strong and powerful Word concerning who we are In Christ as Sons of God the Father!  So many today advocate having an intimate love affair with the Lord, or with Jesus, or with God or with Christ.  Have you taken a close look at the landscape lately?  It’s littered with multitudes of different institutional doctrines, denominational beliefs, non-denominational beliefs systems, and organizational theologies. Some of these things are just really unbelievable, all using the Bible and declaring they love God and His Word! Oh, and they are right and everyone else is wrong.  There might be some truth in those words.  You see, because of the “desensitization to the person of Christ” and not Jesus of Nazareth, the gospel many preach, teach and proclaim cannot and will never produce an intimate love affair with the Lord, or with Jesus, or with God or with Christ. I know that’s a pretty strong statement.  But there is an intimate love affair. And that love affair is with Fear.  What is “an intimate love affair” anyway?  And who gets to decide when it becomes intimate? So, let’s talk about it….

We will  talk about a subject not many talked about or preach on in most churches today.  Our subject is the “Renewing of the mind” what is it?  Some of us have read the phase while reading the Bible. Yet, these words are as misunderstood in the church today as the words “revelation of Christ”.  Exactly what is the”renewing of the mind” and is it different than receiving a “revelation of Christ”?  Can everyone get a “‘renewed mind”? And, what does it mean if you get your “mind renewed”?  Is there a specific key or process to the “renewing of the mind”? Lastly, how will someone know or not know if their mind is renewed or being renewed?  With that said, let’s talk about it!

Love in Christ,

Greetings Everyone,

We mentioned the term a short time ago in our message on the “Tripartite Man”. I used the term “down motivation” in passing but didn’t explain exactly what it means. Today we’ll talk about the the power of desensitization to the person of Christ and it’s work on “down motivation” in humankind. Remember whatever we’re being sensitized to at the same time we’re being desensitized to something else. Down motivation has a great deal to do with blinding humankind to the person of Christ! Think about this, everything God created in third dimension (time,space, and matter) was created with and in down motivation! All it needed was a time to be revealed! You know, most humans including born-again believers, have a very difficult if not impossible time receiving, accepting and believing anything Spiritual because they are consumed by or with “down motivation” thinking! Let’s talk about it! 

Love in Christ,

David & Katherine
