Desensitization to the Blood of Jesus and New Covenant

2017 Aug 13th Streaming

 

We are going to look at and talk about this week in fellowship “Desensitization to the Blood and Covenant ” I received a text message last week from my good brother in Christ Co-Pastor David Griffin. The text read
        “Those who claim that we are free from the ceremonial law but are still guided by the moral law want Jesus for his blood but not for his life
 
Although David said those words were not originally from him, they ring very true.  Sadly millions upon millions of people have received and bought into the lie and illusion that God managed to salvage a part of the law from Christ‘s death on the cross.  So much has been written about the blood of Jesus and the new covenant that is really unbelievable. One area of the law that wasn’t covered in the statement above was the judicial law.  This too was done away in the death of Christ.  Of course no part of the law survived His death and none of it was raised in His life.  I know that that may shock and surprise and maybe upset some.  Far too many of born again believers have never heard about the gospel being a mystery.  Many have never been taught that every believer is a minister of the gospel.  Not the Baptist gospel,  the Methodist gospel, Pentecostal gospel, nondenominational gospel but the gospel of the mystery of Christ in you as your only life!  Your gospel of becoming a new creation or another person.  There is a new knowledge and understanding of the blood of Christ and the new covenant. Unfortunately many believers are desensitized to the person of Christ and the lack of the revelation of the mystery.This has made the blood of Jesus and the New Covenant understood through box-life thinking and box-life living.  The new creation race Sons of God are trapped in something which is not theirs!  So, let’s take a look at what this means.

 

Salvation: What is it?

2017 Aug 6th Streaming

 

Greetings Everyone,

Our message this in fellowship is “salvation:what is it?” That word is used by both believers and non-believers alike. Can it mean the same thing to both? How about this. Does it mean the same thing to the Baptist and the Catholic? The Mormon and the Jehovah Witness? The Buddhist and the Atheist? Is there such a thing as Biblical salvation or religious salvation? And let’s not forget salvation by grace and salvation by works. The world uses a word that seems to mean different things to different people. It sounds like salvation is pretty subjective! Oh, and everyone’s definition of salvation seems to right in his own eyes!

Pro 21:2 “Every way of a man [is] right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.”

Exactly what I was thinking too! Is there a salvation that is objective and not subjective? Is there a salvation or salvation which provides a meaning and definition which fits humanity? A meaning which does not fit angles or dogs or cats or birds or our favorite pets. Most human ideas and definitions of salvation include anything and everything we hold dear and precious to us. So, let’s talk about it!

 

The Butterfly revelation and the external appearance

2017 July 30th Streaming

We will conclude our message from last week on the Butterfly revelation and the external appearance. Can we really understand what Rom 12:2 is saying to us if we don’t receive a renewed mind? There’s a lot of preaching and teaching on this verse with many more explanations to what this means. Remember almost everything Paul said came to by the revelation of Jesus Christ! Should we treat this verse any different because we know this about Paul’s writings? Yes we should. So, let’s talk about it!

 

The truth of the gospel, the person of Christ, and the butterfly revelation

2017 July 23th Streaming

This week in fellowship we’ll look at the truth of the gospel, which is Christ must be in the believing sinner to become a new creation. Next, it is only in the Spirit of Christ or the person of Christ that we learn who are are as Sons of God, our new Father. And lastly, it is by the butterfly revelation we come to see and understand why old things pass away, and why we are another person!  The power of this message is: you must lay aside everything you think, feel and believe which produces “security.” You know, your comfort zone.  These are the things that make box-life thinking and ultimately box-life living.  What does our title have to do with this?   Simple, conform-ability!  Let’s talk about it…. 

 

Paul’s two-word identity statement

2017 July 9th Streaming

This Sunday in Fellowship we are going to look at a two word statement the apostle Paul used that no one of his day grasped. He used it more than any other writer in the New Testament. Most who read the Bible today, read right through these two words and never blink. Few if any stop and see the power and value of what Paul is saying in these two words. They are strong identity words which effect everyone. What these two words? Let’s talk about it…

 

He who has seen me, has seen the Son with Kurtis Luckinbill

2017 July 9th Streaming

Our message this week is who are we seeing. Jesus said – “He who has seen me, has seen the Father”. You say naturally, they were one in the same. I say – “He who has seen me, has seen the Son”. You say No!……….. that is very different. But why is that different? For until you can cross that bridge in our mind and see that the life that you now live is Christ, you will not be able to take hold of that for which the Lord took hold of you. I speak to many people about this every week. Why can some hear and some cannot? What does it take for us to hear? Are you at a point in your life that you can say with Albert Einstein – “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”? Then you are the one I want to speak with.

In preparation to speak to you, I will spend 30 – 40 hours before the Father and in study. On Saturday, I take it all before the Father and ask Him to weave a useful and beautiful tapestry into what He wants you to hear – what he wants to know, and to speak the words and thoughts that will find their way through the maze of your heart and renew your mind to see the Christ that is your life. I hope to speak with you tomorrow. Let’s talk about it….

Desensitization and “Hey, it’s not your fault”

2017 July 2nd Streaming

No matter where you go today or who or what you listen to you will hear those faithful words “it’s not your fault”. For more than two years I’ve heard those words on secular TV shows and movies and christian radio as well. It looks like the phase is not a respecter of person. Think about the power in those words. I was listening to a christian radio station a few years ago and heard that term used several times. I distinctly remember hearing the Father say to me “do you hear what he just said”? My reply was ” he said, hey, it’s not your fault”. The Father then said ” what does that mean to you?” I replied ” it sounds like if you didn’t know what he is talking about, you have an excuse”. We had had great time of fellowship on this issue. So, my question to you is this. Are we without fault because we don’t know? Is it really , “not your fault?” Let’s talk about it….

“can a man enter the second time into his mother’s womb”

2017 Jun 25th Streaming

We will be discussing Nicodemus and his dialog with Jesus on being born from above. Many of us don’t say it that way but that’s exactly what both he and Jesus said. Jesus spoke to Nicodemus concerning the mystery. Nicodemus was a Pharisee and he believed in the resurrection. As did all the Pharisees follow that teaching. But this statement of being born again was not the same as believing in the resurrection. So, no wonder he said “can a man enter the second time into his mother’s womb and be born”. And don’t want to forget “except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God”. Well, let’s talk about it.

Signed, Sealed and waiting for delivery

2017 Jun 18th Streaming

I went back this week and reviewed last week’s message. I really enjoyed that word on “is obedience optional” and not obsessional. If you haven’t had a chance to listen, please stop by the website and check it out for yourself. This in fellowship we are going to study and talk about the believer being “Sealed” by the Holy Spirit. I also read something this week from our dear brother Dr. Warren Litzman on this subject. One of the things he said was ” We don’t know much about being sealed by the Holy Spirit, because most of us under law religion never had much security in our salvation.” He also stated that ” We didn’t understand this business of being sealed. What does the Holy Spirit do?” He was teaching from Ephesians 4:30. So, we’ll go over this issue of being “Signed, Sealed and waiting for delivery” . All is carried out by the Godhead. Let’s talk about it….

“Is obedience optional”?

2017 Jun 11th Streaming

As you can see the message this week is a question, “Is obedience optional”?  Is it optional or not?  What do you think about this idea? Does the believer or unbeliever have an option to be obedient?  OK, maybe not the unbeliever but diffidently the born again believer.  There is no option for the new creation believer. Right? Did you know there are three expressions of obedience?  Only one obedience but three unique separate expressions for the one.
