Christ Identity: Union, Oneness and Image God Provides

2018 January 28th Streaming

We have discussed Identity: It’s  weakness, Illusion and Strength, followed by Identity Crisis: Fears, Illusions, Captivity and Absolutes.  This week in fellowship we’ll talk about Christ Identity: Union, Oneness, and Image God Provides.  We will talk about the meaning and purpose of identification, identify, identity and image of true self expression. The struggle many are having today with identity (that would include Christ identity), is they receive and learn identity from the outside inward.  When this is the source of your identity and person-hood, then everything you are is passing away.
        
        1Co 7:31 and those who use this world as not misusing [it]. For the form of this world is passing away.
        
        1Co 2:6 Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away;
 
What then makes identity so important or even critical? It is in identity where true personhood is expressed.  It is true self-expression! Weather in the Spirit or in the flesh. Biology identity or Spiritual (Christ) identity is a result of union and oneness. God has provided an two images for humankind.  One that’s created by Him and one birthed by Him.  Let’s talk about it…

 

IDENTITY: Fears, Deceptions and Absolutes

2018 January 21st Streaming

In Sunday Fellowship last week we talked about IDENTITY: It’s weakness, Illusion and Strength.  Well, this week we’ll looking at IDENTITY CRISIS: Fears, Deceptions and Absolutes.  The identity crisis in the world today is no respecter of person. The non-believer as well as many professing believers in Christ share the same fears, deceptions and absolutes concerning the current identity crisis!  Satan (the spirit of fear) takes anyone and everyone who have not come to know their absolute identity.  But why?  Simple, sensitization to the person they are in the outer man or woman (box-suitcase) identity.  You know the one which is passing away.  While, at the same time being desensitized to the person of Christ and their new identity as another person, the Son of God!  So, what does all this look like in the current world view?  Let’s talk about it…

 

IDENTITY: It’s Weakness, Illusion and Strength

2018 January 14th Streaming

This week’s message is entitled “IDENTITY: It’s Weakness, Illusions and Strengths”. Identity has five main parts. It has a specific beginning, it must be revealed, it must be realized (to know who you are and live that out), it’s fixed and absolute and it’s ongoing. It was this way from the beginning! So, let’s talk about it…

 

 

What the revelation of Christ is Not and why with David & Katherine Kenebrew

2018 January 7th Streaming

“The message with David Griffin was also an eye opener for me. You touched on the issues which are a big struggle for me as a ‘son’ because I have looked also at the numbers of years I have lived and from the time I wake up in the morning I see the affinity I have developed with the suitcase and the box.”

and

“When David (Griffin) said he owes nothing to the flesh, I saw the issues I struggle with day after day. They emanate from the suitcase/box pulls and I see myself in a state of defeat. I was praying that the Lord helps in eradicating all the rubbish in the suitcase so that I don’t fulfill the desires of the Box.”

How many of you have similar struggles with your IOU of box-suitcase thinking and theology?  I’m trusting the Father that each of you will come to see just how desensitized you are to the person of Christ as 2018 moves along.  You would think with all the preaching and teaching about the Bible on radio and TV, that only a few would have an occasion to fall into the process of desensitization brought by the spirit of fear.  Remember, when we’re being desensitized, we are simultaneously being sensitized to something else. Our answer to desensitization is the revelation of Christ in true Spiritual union, oneness and identity from our heavenly Father!  The necessity of each of us receiving a revelation of Christ, as a new creation or living as another person, while living in our current bodies as the Son of God is the great escape. The end of the identity struggle!  For the first time we can know and understand what it means to be a completed person! The IOU of Son-ship takes us to a whole new depth and place in the Father!

What a wonderful and precious Word concerning the Father and His Son revelation.  For the first time we have the knowledge and ability to walk away from the two-person gospel which has desensitized far too many of us over the years!  I trust the Father each of you will make the only decision – just walk away from your illusion of the box-suitcase identity, supported and influenced by desensitization and the two-person gospel.  This is the gospel most of us have unknowingly brought into!  Again, the revelation of Christ is the key component in Son-ship.  But there are several things the revelation of Christ is not and cannot do for any believer. What is that? And, why can’t it?   Let’s talk about it…
