Our message this week is on why Peter and most of us start out walking by faith and then begin to sink? Is this phenomenon due to the lack of identity? Maybe the power of the C&S Gang (you know the circumstances and situations crowd)? How about the power of desensitization to the person of Christ? Well, what about, FOMO? I would suggest that a vast majority of the people you know or even yourself make decisions daily that are motivated by FOMO. Which could mean before to long we cry “Lord, save me”. All of these venues could or can be the source by which we begin our walking by faith (at least what we call waking by faith) and start to sink with every step we take. Is this important? Yes. Why? Because first of all, far too many of us don’t really know or understand what it really means to walk by faith. And, secondly, our ignorance of the first provides the spirit of fear the power to distract us from the power and strength of true faith. There are a few passages I enjoy fun with and this is one of them! Let’s talk about stepping out of the boat…..
Our message this week is on FOMO and it’s power to effect your identity. I would suggest that a vast majority of the people you know or even you make decisions daily that are motivated by FOMO. Why? It’s simple. Because, most live and move from their identity in biological birth. All decisions from this position can and will only produce FOMO results. Sadly, the gospel many are hearing on radio, TV and books promote God’s blessing of the box-suitcase identity. These venues of information yield an image we are familiar, acceptable and comfortable in dealing with. Is this important? Yes. Desensitization to the person of Christ and the mystery of Sonship produces the belief and idea of me, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and God the Father (spiritual hierarchy). This theology provides FOMO it’s power over us who never become one with the Father as the Son of God!
Jhn 17:21-22 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
What glory did the Father give Him? The only glory He can give and Jesus knew what that glory was.
Jhn 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
This glory is now our glory as well. It is the power of our identity chosen to be ours before the foundation of the world. The power of FOMO becomes ineffective and loses it power! Remember our obedience determines or effects our identity. The pulls of FOMO washed away by the mystery of Sonship!
Before I share the highlights for the message this week the Father has revealed. I want to encourage those who haven’t had a chance to listen to message last Sunday on Mary:Mother of Jesus, please do. It was an excellent word from the Father. What David taught and said about Mary I didn’t see coming! So, you tell me that there is no such thing as ‘Old Testament’ Christianity; and yet, everything you currently believe and live is as powerless today as if you were living under the law and sacrifices. The greatest question in churches today is, “Why are so many people leaving?” The answer is simple. Churches today are teaching a lifeless and impotent ‘To by Two’ gospel. From the beginning of creation, God has been revealing Himself and His plan, intent and purpose. All creation and the very struggles of our lives shout God’s purpose. To put it simply yet profoundly, God is hiding in plain sight. If you are asking me why I have made these statements – you are exactly the person that I want to speak to today. And for those who have ears to hear, let them hear what the Spirit is saying! So, let’s talk about it…
We are looking forward to this week’s time of fellowship with all of you! We will be discussing Mary: Mother of Jesus and a few things many have over looked. Here are just a few.
-Prototype of the fellowship of the mystery
-Prototype of the new creation believer
-Prototype of the three crisis of humankind
-Prototype of Israel
-Her salvation was not in giving birth to Jesus-that came later
This week was our opportunity to learn who we are in Christ as a new creation, or another person to our heavenly Father. He calls us His Sons. Yet, each of us who are birthed by Him were given a birth-right to be called “the Son” of God! This is more than just a name change. It is an exchange of identity! So, what is it that we’ve learned? We have learned that union is where salvation begins. Our union in Christ is the foundation which established our birthright and leads to onenessin Christ. It is only in the revelation of oneness that our identity as “the Son of God” is known and understood and lived. Without the revelation of this mystery no one can live as the Son! Here, in this new identity of the Son is where we learn the Father! It is the Father who reveals the imageof the Son. He declared and set our conformity into the image of the Son, His Son, before creation of anything!
Rom 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
2Co 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, [even] as by the Spirit of the Lord.
1Co 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Jhn 5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
Have we or are we learning the mystery of Sonship? If we are learning Sonship then conformity is at work yielding it’s fruit of the image of the Son and our true identity! Let’s talk about it…
Also, this week in fellowship we are being joined by four guest. We will have two from overseas and two from here in the US. This will be our first attempt with our new system to have others join us live on the broadcast. We are trusting our Father to work it all out. Technology is great but can have it’s issues. So, please pray for this new adventure in Sunday Fellowship.
This week we will talk about the subject of “temperance or Self-Control” and identity. We discussed the word on” present truth” and “ongoing truth” in our last time of fellowship. After fellowship we continued our discussion on “present truth” and “ongoing truth” as they relate to temperance or self-control and identity in Christ as the Son(s) of God. The apostles Paul and Peter tell us something about the word temperance or self-control. But let’s talk about it….
The tide of fear and it’s illusion is becoming rampart and rising daily! The undertow from it’s current is pulling so many people down into deception (buying into fear’s illusion) and captivity (under the control of another). What is the result of this rising tide of fear? Delusional thinking with desensitization to the person of Christ. Sadly, the tide of fear and it’s undertow of illusions has no respecter of person. It is drowning the non-believer and the believer alike. Those who are in union with Christ should know better but don’t, are being sucked down into the abyss of the unconditional and unforgiving power of fear! As a new creation believer and Son of God we should be able to rightly divide the word of present or ongoing truth! And, not be overcome by the tide of fear. Why are so many being drowned? Let’s talk about it…..
We’ve had several comments on last week’s message “Compartmentalization and the struggle over Identity”. So, our message this week is a little different. As you can see by the title it’s on the “Book of Hezekiah”. There is a lot of theology base on this book. We will be looking into several verses in this book. What can we learn this old testament book? Over the years I’ve talked to many people who quote from the verses in this book. Some even base their salvation, walk with God, and belief on the Bible in what they have been told and taught from Hezekiah. Can we find the fellowship of the mystery and revelation of Christ written within it’s pages as some believe? Are the things found in this book relevant to who we are in Christ? I think some of you might be surprised just how deep many believe in the doctrines from it’s verses!. There’s more to discuss on this matter. Let’s talk about it…
This week our message is on compartmentalization and it’s use in the struggle with identity – the place we refuse to go and the person we deny we’ve become. Why is that? Is it just desensitization to the person of Christ? No, but it is the source. Compartmentalization is the means by which many attempt to escape the struggle of true identity! Many of us have very deep rooted fears and beliefs. Far too many of us continually take on more information which usually just continues to support our deep rooted fears, ideas, and belief system. And, like most humans, we strive to keep the security of our beliefs within the comfort zone. After all, we dare not forsake or question anything we’ve been told or taught concerning our understanding of the person of Christ or the truth of the gospel. This is where compartmentalization with its cognitive dissonance enters, and the struggle with identity begins. The way to end this struggle is simple – just receive fresh revelation from the Holy Spirit. Sadly, that’s not usually possible, because we’re stuck in the past, with all of our same old fears and beliefs! We want what we have always believed to remain intact. Amen for the religion we proclaim that has made us free! Jesus was asked this question in the gospel of John.
“And [some] of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.” Jhn 9:40-41.
There is more to discuss on this matter. So, let’s talk about it….
Well, here we are celebrating Easter Sunday and April fools’ Day at the same time. WOW, what a day of great contrasts. A day of conformation. You see to some Easter and the resurrection of Jesus is foolish. So, those of us who believe He rose from the dead are celebrating April Fools’ every Easter. And, of course those who have embraced Jesus’ resurrection as real and true see those who do not believe as being April Fools’ every day! OK, moving on. We want to thank all of you who sent in questions for our Q&A these part two weeks of fellowship. We trust you received some clarity and understanding in those things you were seeking. Let me say this. Most of us have an incredibly difficult time trying to reconcile body & soul identity into Spirit & soul identity and living. This type of thinking will not and cannot work. In fact it will never work! I encourage you to STOP the insanity! You are not who you were before you received the Spirit or person of Christ. You have been birthed to be another person before God the Father. He is your true Father and Only Father.
The question then is; who are you to Him? Some might say, “a child of the King” or “”a child of God” some would even say “a new creation in Christ Jesus” or “a son of God”. Those words and statements might be true but none of them has the power to transform those who use them into “another person” as “the Son of God”. Why? Because all of those statements leave room for body & soul identity and living. The don’t acknowledge “Oneness” and the identity of another person a new creation. And, that beloved is the foundation of the ongoing struggle in this world! Sadly, I know many will not come to receive and know this liberating place in our Father. A place in Himself He has opened to all of us in these last days. A place to enter into a new and fresh part of Himself in which we cannot comprehended with our current theology and doctrine. A place where the faith of the Father and the faith of the Son are ONE! Where the image of Son and Father are ONE! I also know the spirit of fear will continue to cause many to stay in his illusion, deception, captivity and delusional thinking, beliefs, and doctrines of desensitization to the person of Christ. Maybe some of you reading this email are still hanging out trying to fix your box and suitcase identity. Still dealing with sins of the flesh. Trying to be obedient. Trying to please God (the one of the old testament). Maybe trying to be like Jesus. Which is the ongoing dilemma in the two person gospel of me and Jesus. That fits the correction of body-soul identity. Fear will cause us to fight the simplicity that is in Christ! The Father and you are one! Who are you to Him?
If no one else in the body of Christ or the church receives this but you, then you’ll be the only Son with an intimacy of love no one else has but you! Again, I would encourage you to let go of your past! Union must give way to Oneness and Oneness will yield its intimate fruit of identity as the Son of God! Many of you are stuck asking and looking for something and someone that you already posses. Again, STOP the insanity and let go of your past! No matter how precious or wonderful it appears. Today at this very moment it is your weakness to Sonship.
That brings me to our message for this Sunday in fellowship, “one blood all nations of men”. If you listen to men, every group has it’s own blood. Every ethic group and culture is trying to preserve it’s unique identity in their box. Is there just “one blood for all men”? What are they or even some of us who call ourselves Christians (I use this word sparingly) missing? There are some crazy things going on the wold today. Does everyone bleed the same? Is there a new blood covenant? Are we washed in the blood? Is everyone sustained and kept by the blood of Jesus? Is He still bleeding for humankind? Let’s talk about it….
