This week, we conclude the teaching on 1 Thessalonians Chapter 1. The past two Sundays, we had powerful and dynamic messages and teaching this chapter with our dear sister Brenda Gray (Love Letter to the Church) and our brother Dwight Davis (Serving the Father in True Obedience). I will quote each of them in our message this week.
Paul’s knowledge of the mystery of the new Spiritual identity in Christ was in full display in this initial chapter of 1 Thessalonians. While the Thessalonians proclaimed no religion nor religious belief, they testified of the person of Christ, who had caused them to become spiritually born, through the gospel of Sonship. And, how the God of creation was now their Spiritual Father.
They knew something Spiritual that no man could teach them academically, intellectually, or religiously. Why do so many today lack this same knowledge and understanding concerning Spiritual Identity? Perhaps it’s the fear of change and the exchange of Identity, the end of the old and becoming another person spiritually. Let’s talk about it in fellowship…
This week begin our teaching and discussion in 1 Thessalonians. First and Second Thessalonians comprise some of earliest New Testament writings. The first epistle was penned at Corinth by the apostle Paul in response to Timothy’s report on the progress of the church they had established. Paul along with Silas and Timothy founded the church at Thessalonica on his second missionary journey.
The first three chapters are about Paul longing to visit the church in Thessalonica but not being able to because Satan stopped them (1 Thessalonians 2:18), and how Paul cared for them and was encouraged to hear how they had been. Paul then prays for them (1 Thessalonians 3:11-13). In chapter 4, Paul is instructing the believers in Thessalonica on how to live, in Christ Jesus, a holy life (1 Thessalonians 4:1-12). Paul goes on to instruct them of a misconception they had. He tells them that the people who have died in Christ Jesus will also go to heaven when He comes back (1Thessaloninas 4:13-18, 5:1-11). The book ends with his final instructions of living and walking their new life in Christ.
Each week we will here what the Father is saying and revealing concerning Spiritual Birth, Identity and Sonship in this wonderful epistle! So, let’s talk about…
This acronym DEI has become a lightning rod in America, for the past several years. It has become what some would call a culture wedge issue. Sadly, the body of Christ the Church has been sucked into the flesh-bait vacuum of political rhetoric and doctrines of man-made religion. Yet millions and millions of people are drinking from these “broken and polluted” fountains daily! These fountains are incapable of satisfying humankind’s deepest needs. Their doctrines and teachings are empty and false illusions of light. They are full of darkness. Our dear brother Kurtis Luckinbill said in one of his messages that “Satan wants to imitate everything God the Father has done”. The Apostle Paul said it this way, “And no wonder, for even Satan disguises or masquerades himself as an angel of light. The great imitation or illusion! Let’s talk about it…
This week we continue the teaching and message in Galatians Chapter 6. In the last two weeks, our dear sister Rhonda Williams and brother Dwight Davis laid a great foundation and powerful words concerning this chapter. Again, Paul tells us that he is not rebuilding his past identity but revealing their new Spiritual Identity as the Son of God, the Father. He tells them because they are Spiritually Birthed Sons of the Father, He birthed within them a deep cry and hunger for His Fatherhood! So, what’s the problem? Why are so many Spiritually birthed Sons of the Father deaf, dumb, and blind to who they are Spiritually? Could the answer be what they are not hearing? Or is it what they hear from Satan through the echo chamber of man-made religion, which will always preach circumcision concerning their flesh? Sadly, they are ever learning but never coming to the knowledge of the truth of Spiritual Birth and Identity.
This week will continue the teaching and message into Galatians Chapter 5. Last week dear brother Dwight Davis laid a great foundation and powerful word on this chapter. Paul tells us once again that he is not rebuilding his past identity but revealing their new Spiritual Identity as the Son of God, the Father. He tells them because they are Spiritually Birthed Sons of the Father, He birthed within them a deep cry and hunger for His Fatherhood! So, what’s the problem? Why are so many Spiritually birthed Sons of the Father deaf, dumb, and blind to who they are Spiritually? Could the answer be what they are not hearing, but hearing from Satan through the echo chamber of man-made religion, will always preach circumcision concerning their flesh? Sadly, they are ever learning but never coming to the knowledge of the truth of Spiritual Birth and Identity! So, let’s talk about it…
This week, we will conclude the teaching and message on Galatians Chapter Four. Last week, Sister Brenda Gray shared a powerful word in this chapter called “Zealous for an Illusion” as did our Brother Dwight Davis two weeks ago on “THE DECEPTION OF THE PSEUDO GRACE IDENTITY“. Each of their messages and teachings confirmed the foundation of our union, oneness, and identity in Spiritual Birth in Christ.
In Chapter Four, Paul tells us that he is not rebuilding an old past identity but revealing their new Spiritual Identity as the Son of God, the Father. He tells them that because they are Spiritually birthed Sons, the Father has birthed within them a deep cry and hunger for His Fatherhood! So, what’s the problem? Why are so many Spiritually birthed Sons of the Father still deaf, dumb, and blind to those who are Spiritually? Could the answer be what many are hearing or should we say “not hearing” in the church of man-made religion? Our brother Dwight said in his message, THE DECEPTION OF THE PSEUDO GRACE IDENTITY
“As a result, they (those in the church of MMR) do not fully UNDERSTAND the completed work of Christ on the CROSS and fall into the DECEPTION of THEPSEUDOGRACEIDENTITY. They don’t fully understand Spiritual birthing from above, the New Spiritual Son Identity and Oneness with the Father. Their wrong understanding of GRACE shuts off any NEWREVELATION with greater and deeper TRUTH and SPIRITUALUNDERSTANDING of and from the Father.”
Paul is refuting the “THE PSEUDO GRACE IDENTITY” taught by the works of the Law in MMR! In this chapter, he reveals their ignorance of Spiritual Identity as Sons and the bondage of the weak and beggarly elements of their original identities in the flesh! Galatians Chapter Four is one of Paul’s earliest writings on the “Exchanged” identity of Sonship. So, let’s talk about it…
This week I will conclude our teachings and messages into Galatians Chapter Three. Last week Sister Brenda shared a powerful word on this chapter, as did our Brother Dwight Davis two weeks ago. Each of their messages and teachings confirmed the foundation of our union, oneness, and identity of Spiritual Birth in Christ.
Paul tells us once again in chapter three, he is not rebuilding his past identity as a Hebrew and Jew under the Law of Moses. God has set aside the Law of Moses. Through Christ’s death on the cross the Law of Moses given to Israel Only, has No Eternal value! Wait! Let me say that again. The Law God gave to Moses for Israel has NO ETERNAL VALUE anymore for them or anyone else. But why? But brother, how can you say the Law has NO Eternal Value? Where did you get that from? First of all these words are not new. Both Jesus and Paul confirmed that God’s idea of the Law of Moses is without Eternal value! So, let’s talk about it…
This week in fellowship we will conclude Galatians Chapter Two. We ended our teaching last time with Paul’s words in verses 20and 21.This verse is loaded with Spiritual Union, Oneness, and Identity revelations. This week will bring us more Spiritual knowledge concerning our “Exchanged Spiritual identity” because we were “Crucified with Christ”. He tells us his gospel came from the specific revelation of Jesus Christ. Paul discusses what he sees in his “rear view mirror” of the cross. Paul’s closing thought in the chapter is whether the Law or the Cross has real value. Which one is worthless? Let’s talk about it…

He discusses what he sees in his “rear view mirror” of the cross and what that “rear view mirror” revealed to him in the Spirit. His closing thought in this chapter is a question heard and talked about daily in MMR. Is it the Law or the Cross that has value? Which is worthless? Let’s talk about it…
