Fully Alive to Christ Jan 04, 2024

Show notes

God gives us full permission to step into His perception and mindset about our old nature. He desires to cultivate a lifestyle focused on who we are in Jesus because all the old has passed away. Everything has become new. We get to consider ourselves dead to sin and fully alive in Christ.

Key Scriptures:

+ Romans 6:10. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.

+ Colossians 3:1-3. Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

+ Ephesians 4:20-24. But you did not learn Christ in this way, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, that, in reference to your former way of life, you are to rid yourselves of the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you are to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

The Accomplishment of the Cross Dec 29, 2023

Show notes

In the perception of God, your old nature is dead. We’re learning that death to self is not an action on our part because Jesus has already accomplished this on the cross. As we are alive to Christ, we are automatically dead to sin.

Key Scriptures:

+ Galatians 2:20. I have been crucified to Christ, it is now Christ who lives in me, and the life I live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me

+ Romans 6:6. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

Expectation of Habitation Dec 22, 2023

Show notes

God is committed to transforming the way we see things. He helps us understand that unlike the visitational culture of the old testament, we are now living in a habitational new covenant. His Spirit is here to stay and that changes everything … from the way we perceive day-to-day life, to the way we engage with prayer.

Key Scriptures:

+ 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

+ John 16:15. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

+ 1 Corinthians 2:10. These things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.

The Lens of the Kingdom Dec 14, 2023

Show notes

As we grow up into God, a continual upgrade of our lenses is required. The good news of the gospel is that our new-creation status not only changes the way we walk, it also changes the way we see. When we allow our perspective to align with that of heaven, we begin to see a lens full of peace, hope, and endless possibilities in the Kingdom.

Key Scriptures:

+ Acts 2:12,37. And they were beside themselves with amazement and were greatly perplexed, saying one to another, “What could this mean?” […] Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and they said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what are we to do?”

A Journey into God's Perspective Dec 07, 2023

Show notes

A lens change is about embracing the truth of who we are in Christ and allowing that truth to transform our perspective, mindset, and language. Sometimes, this process can be uncomfortable. But the Lord is committed to making us more like Him, which means He has to take us into territory we've never been.

Key Scriptures:

+ Acts 10:28. And he said unto them, you know that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

+ Acts 9:17-19. Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again…

Every Negative Has a Job to Do Nov 30, 2023

Show notes

Every situation has to bend to the rule of heaven, and every negative in your life has a specific job to do. The role of a negative is always to reveal its opposite, which means that your current circumstances are ideal soil for your next breakthrough in Christ.

Key Scriptures:

+ Galatians 5:22-23. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

+ Isaiah 61:7. Instead of shame, My people will have a double portion, and instead of dishonor, they will rejoice in their share; and so they will inherit a double portion in their land, and everlasting joy will be theirs.

Partakers of the Divine Nature Nov 23, 2023

Show notes

Radical Permission #3: We are created to live in the undivided affection of God. In that place, our grace and peace multiplies. Every circumstance is designed to confirm who Jesus is for you and who you are becoming in Him.

Key Scriptures:

+ 2 Peter 1:2-4. May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, for His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. Through these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world on account of lust.

+ Genesis 1:26. Then God said, “Let Us make mankind in Our image, according to Our likeness…”

The Father's Love Never Ends Nov 16, 2023

Show notes

Radical Permission #2: You are one with Christ, which means that the Father loves you in exactly the same way He loves Jesus. Everyday, in every situation, we are celebrating that truth.

Key Scriptures:

+ John 15:9. As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love.

+ John 17:20. I am not asking on behalf of these alone, but also for those who believe in Me through their word, that they may all be one; just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.

God's Constancy is Your Confidence Nov 09, 2023

Show notes

Radical Permission #1: God’s unchanging heart can always be depended upon. His consistent goodness allows us to stand in absolute confidence of who He will be for us no matter what is occurring.

The Relational Heart of God Oct 26, 2023

Show notes

The world doesn’t read its Bible, but it does read its Christians. What if the key to unlocking someone’s heart isn’t always dependent on how well you can communicate the main points of the Gospel? What if the key rests in simply taking a moment to tune in to the relational heart of God?

Key Scriptures:

+ Isaiah 41:9. I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, ‘You are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not rejected you.

+ John 16:13. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.
