What is being or becoming FREE of Religion?

2018 February 18th Streaming

We continue this week with who the Father is to each of of us who has ears to hear what the Spirit is saying! I often hear believers and avid church goers use the phrase, “I’m so glad I am free of religion”. Maybe you’ve uttered these sincere and meaningful words. It seems religion is something to be avoided! But what is religion? Can anyone be really “FREE” of it? If you listen closely to what many declare about religion, it is something others have and not them. Several years ago I was listening to a preacher of a large denominational church talk about another denomination as being religious. I smiled, because it sounded like the pot and kettle analogy. Why does it appear almost everyone wants nothing to do with religion? Yet they are no further from religion than when they first started. That being said, many who are declaring they are “FREE” of religion are held captive in the “illusion of explanatory depth”. I know that’s a pretty strong and bold statement. Let me ask you a question, as I conclude this email. Do you think, feel or believe everyone who calls themselves “Christian,” really is? Jesus answered this question in the Gospel of Mathew chapter 7. The answer to the question is “no” they are not. If the answer were “yes” then salvation would be subjective. Does everyone declaring to be “FREE” of religion mean they are? No! Their problem is simple – It’s Spiritual! Four factors many have failed to see with their eyes, hear with their ears, or comprehended with their minds. Let’s talk about it…..

 

The Box – A Tale of Two Identities Part 2

by admin David Kenebrew

2018 February 11th Streaming

This week we will continue in our series The Box – A Tale of Two Identities Part 2: “Your Second Identity – The New Creation – Your Identity As The Son of God”. We live within our box identities, believing that we have accepted Jesus into our hearts to make us better people, and that He has given us His Spirit to ‘help us’ become ‘like’ Him. We might even wear a bracelet to remind ourselves to ‘do what Jesus would do’. Some will agree that Jesus ‘lives’ inside of their ‘heart’ while others will acknowledge that they have become a different person. However, very few understand or can explain the width, the height or the depth of what it means to have become this new creation. I know a few listening today understand the new birth and the resultant union with Christ, but you have never known or understood God’s full intent and purpose for that union. Last week we discussed the box identity – our conforming identity when our soul relates to our flesh. This week I want to discuss the new creation identity – a transforming, spirit/soul identity that is ours the moment that we receive and believe on the person of Christ.

The Box – A Tale of Two Identities

2018 February 4th Streaming

Greetings Everyone,
For the past several weeks David has taught on identity.  It is a subject I truly sense the Church does not comprehend because of desensitization to the person of Christ, and it’s attachment to the two person gospel.  Today I will continue with more on identity.
The Advanced English Dictionary defines ‘identity’ as who you are. Simply, “your identity is who you are”. I have no problem with that definition. The problem lies in that too many born-again believers do not know who they are. Every person immediately has three identities the day they are born into this world. You have an identifying name, a gender and a race identity. From the moment we take our first breath, we begin a quest searching for meaning and identity. How can we not? That desire was birthed in us by the creator. For the next two weeks, I want to talk to you about The Box – A Tale of Two Identities. Let’s walk down that road of life that defines who we think we are and who we were truly created to become. You do not want to miss this series. I’m trusting our Father will change your perception of who you are.
Love in Christ,
Kurtis

 

Christ Identity: Union, Oneness and Image God Provides

by admin David Kenebrew

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

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

by admin David 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…

The Revelation of Christ & What’s it’s not with David Griffin & David Kenebrew

I’m trusting the Father that many will come to see just how desensitized they are to the person of Christ in 2018. You would think with all the preaching and teaching about the Bible on radio and TV, only a few would fall into the process of desensitization by the Spirit of fear. Fear’s illusions, deceptions, captivity and delusional thinking have trapped far too many in their box-suitcase union, oneness and identity. Remember, when we’re being desensitized, we are simultaneously being sensitized to something else. Our answer is the revelation of Christ and true Spiritual union, oneness and identity from our heavenly Father! The necessity of each of us receiving the revelation of Christ, a new creation or another person living in our current body as the Son of God is the great escape. For the first time we can know and understand being a completed person! The IOU of Son-ship takes us to a whole new depth and place in the Father.

Becoming Bullet-Proof in the person of Christ as the Son! with David & Katherine Kenebrew

It’s here knocking at our door. If you’re not ready yet just don’t answer the door. It will go away very shortly. You know, here today and gone tomorrow! Hey, maybe you need to become “bulletproof” to Christmas down motivation pulls! But what does that look like? Can anyone or everyone live bulletproof in Christ as another person? Does this mean I’ll never have to worry about shots from the enemy or people? These are all great questions. But the answer is not found in the two person gospel. It’s not a part of our current desensitization to the person of Christ gospel. There’s no formula or set of suitcase beliefs which can make us bulletproof. It’s not a special blessings you get from doing something in church or for others. The answer is very simple! It’s spiritual! It’s available! Let’s talk about it…..
