Understanding the Heart of a leader

-Church is Not a business, but is a Family.

-Is to be a Father, Mentor to others, to raise them up.

1 Corinthians 4:15;

4:15 For though you may have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, because I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

Philippians 2:21-22;

2:21 Others are busy with their own concerns, not those of Jesus Christ.2:22 But you know his qualifications, that like a son working with his father,he served with me in advancing the gospel.

1 Thess 3:2

3:2 We sent Timothy, our brother and fellow worker for God in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen you and encourage you about your faith,

-We only have One King, that is Jesus. Leaders are not kings.

-We are One Body, the Body of Christ. When one part succeeds, we all succeeds; when one part fails, we all fail; I would be happy to see people to go further than I’ve ever gone in God, to prophesy better, be more anointed, to see more healing and miracles than me. Because when they succeed, Jesus gets glorified; when they succeed, I succeed; I’m here only to build One Kingdom, glorify One Name, that is Jesus.

Examples of building God’s Kingdom, Not your own kingdom/ministry

“When you come to our church, you need to die to yourself and take up the vision of the church. This is a religious spirit. Imagine I tell my son, when he grows up, “you need to be an engineer..” but my son wants to be an Architect. This is wrong, I will let my son do what he wants to do, and help him to achieve his dream that God has given him. We use to tell people that, when you come to our Church, you’ve got to die to yourself and take up the vision and calling of the church and fulfil. But now we are different, now we say that the job of our church is to help you fulfil your calling in God.

The job of a leader is to…

1.To recognise the gifting and grace on a person’s life

Galatians 2:6-10

2:6But from those who were influential (whatever they were makes no difference to me; God shows no favoritism between people) – those influential leaders added nothing to my message. 2:7 On the contrary, when they saw that I was entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised just as Peter was to the circumcised 2:8 (for he who empowered Peter for his apostleship to the circumcised also empowered me for my apostleship to the Gentiles) 2:9 and when James, Cephas, and John, who had a reputation as pillars, recognized the grace that had been given to me, they gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship,agreeing that we would go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. 2:10 They requestedonly that we remember the poor, the very thing I also was eager to do.

I want what you “have”. I need your gift and callings, because it will benefit me and build me up; we all can learn from each other.

Example: I knew a friend whom I recognise had the gift of pastoral, and teaching and prophetic gifting. I started inviting him to our bible studies and give him opportunity to share at times. Then eventually I handed the bible study group to him. I saw the gifting on his life, and I wanted him to be released into his calling more and more, I recognise that his gifting could be a blessing to me and others and I wanted to learn from that.

2.Is to equip, release the saints to do the work of the ministry, to help them fulfill their destinies and callings on their lives.

Ephesians 4:11-12

4:11It was he who gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, 4:12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, that is, to build up the body of Christ,

3.Is to empower, and encourage others to do the work of the ministry.

1 Timothy 4:12-16.

4:12 Let no one look down on you because you are young,but set an example for the believers in your speech, conduct, love, faithfulness, and purity. 4:13Until I come, give attention to the public reading of scripture, to exhortation, to teaching. 4:14Do not neglect the spiritual gift you have, given to you and confirmed by prophetic words when the elders laid hands on you. 4:15 Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that everyone will see your progress.4:16 Be conscientious about how you live and what you teach. Persevere in this, because by doing so you will save both yourself and those who listen to you.

4.To set an example for others in ministry

1 Cor 11:1

11:1Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.

Example: if you are an evangelist teaching others to share Jesus with others and heal the sick, then you need to set an example for them in your personal life of sharing Jesus and healing the sick. Its no good if you just have theory about ‘evangelism’ but have not practical application of it; it’s like the difference between University where it’s all head knowledge, compared to Technical institute where it’s putting knowledge into practice.

5.Build away from yourselves, so that the church/ministry/organisation can run without you, on autopilot, so that you can devote your time into expanding God’s kingdom into other areas.

There are a lot of churches out there today, where it’s built around one leader; if that leader goes or dies, then the whole thing falls apart; he hasn’t trained up others to take his place. We don’t need more work to do ourselves, but we need to give our work to others so we can time do to do other things and pioneer there.

6.Build the kingdom of God, not your own kingdom or ministry.

Philippians 2:19-21

2:19 Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be encouraged by hearing news about you. 2:20 For there is no one here like him who will readily demonstrate his deep concern for you. 2:21 Others are busy with their own concerns, not those of Jesus Christ.

The job of a leader is not to…

-tell people what to do…

-make people build your ‘ministry/kingdom’

-run your ministry for you like a business/hierarchy

-controlling others because jealousy and intimidation

In part 2, we are going to talk about how to raise up leaders in the church.

Is it possible to have “more” of God?

February 18, 2012 in More of God

Is it possible for believers to have “More” of God?

Or is it just a tradition of man, a false doctrine that we haven’t bothered to check it against the Word?


Alot of songs/prayers are like:

*More love, more power, more of You in my life…

*I want more of you God…

*There must be more than this…

*O God, please have more of me…

*God gets bigger and bigger…

*I’m hungry for You…

*What does this mean to you, and what do you think is the answer?

Can God be more or less? Can He get bigger or smaller?

Can Jesus have “more of God”? since Jesus is our life, our example, if He can’t have more of God, then nor can we.

Is this biblical?

Are there examples of this in the bible? Specifically in the New testament?

*Bible search for phrase, “more of God” returned “0″

What about, John 3:30 “He must become more important while I become less important.”

*John was a forerunner to prepare the way for Jesus the Messiah, and now that Jesus has come, its time His job is done and its time for Him to get out of the way. People are to follow Jesus, not John. John was not the Messiah- the Bridegroom, but only a friend of the Bridegroom.

*BBC: The entire object of John’s ministry is summarised in this verse. He laboured ceaselessly to point men and women to the Lord, and to make them realise His true worth. In doing this, John realised that he must keep himself in the background. For a servant of Christ to seek to attract attention to himself is really a form of disloyalty.

*What about Psalm 42 “As the deer pants for the water, so my soul thirsts for you”.

This was before Jesus died on the Cross. It is in the Old Covenant

Before you are saved, you are hungry and thirsty; now that you are saved, you are no longer hungry and thirsty. You are satiasfied. 

Believers can live in a state of “continually being satiasfied” without doing anthing to achieve or maintain it.

It’s like eating your favorite food. Even after you are full, you still want to keep on eating because you like the food. It’s like this with God.

We come to God and eat from Him, not because we are starving or hungry spiritually, but because we love spending time with Him and reading His Word!!

*John 6:35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. The one who comes to me will never go hungry, and the one who believes in me will never be thirsty.

-Greek: tn Grk “the one who believes in me will not possibly thirst, ever.”

-Illustration of a bad father: you see these children on the streets begging for food, its a sign that they have a bad father who don’t care for them

-God invites us to “Taste and see that the Lord is good” Psalm 34:8

-He “fills the hungry with good things.” Luke 1:53

BBC-Now Jesus stated the truth simply and clearly. He is the bread of life. Those who come to Him find enough in Him to satisfy their spiritual hunger forever. Those who believe on Him find their thirst forever quenched. Notice the words I AM in this verse and recognise that the Lord was making a claim to equality with Jehovah.

*John 7:37-39

In Ephesians 1:15-23, Paul didn’t pray for believers to get “more” of God, but rather “more” revelation that they already have ‘all of God’.

Or is this a man made tradition that nullifies the power of God’s Word?

*Mark 7:6-9 He said to them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written:  ‘This people honours me with their lips,  but their heart is far from me. They worship me in vain,  teaching as doctrine the commandments of men.’ Having no regard for the command of God, you hold fast to human tradition.” He also said to them, “You neatly reject the commandment of God in order to set up your tradition.

*Colossians 2:8-10, 20-23 Be careful not to allow anyone to captivate you through an empty, deceitful philosophy that is according to human traditions and the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. For in him all the fullness of deity lives in bodily form, and you have been filled in him, who is the head over every ruler and authority. If you have died with Christ to the elemental spirits of the world, why do you submit to them as though you lived in the world? “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!” These are all destined to perish with use, founded as they are on human commands and teachings. Even though they have the appearance of wisdom with their self-imposed worship and false humility achieved by an unsparing treatment of the body – a wisdom with no true value – they in reality result in fleshly indulgence.

The bible says, “We are In Christ”. What does this mean?

*Illustration: you walk into your car, and close the door. Now you say to yourself, “I want more of my car!!”.

-How is this possible? you car is bigger than you? are you bigger than your car?

-Can your car have more of you? If you are inside your car, your car has all of you already, whether you believe it or not its relevant.

-Similarly, you cannot have more of God and God cannot have more of you.

*You are now In Christ and In God

-The reason why Christ is In you, is because you are “In Him”.

-Do you know what is the air you breathe? you are breathing Jesus right now, He is all over you, in and through you. He is the Air that you breathe.

*Illustration: inside a bullet/nuclear proof car that has dark tinted windows.

-Hidden!! no one can see you, all they see is Jesus

-The enemy, demons, stress, worries, lies cannot even see you! if they try to attack you, all they get is Jesus!!

-You are covered, sealed and protected; Christ is The Glory, there is an invisible shield of Glory surrounding you.

Isaiah NASB© 54:17 “No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; And every tongue that accuses you in judgement you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD.

*That’s why “there is no never any condemnation/sentencing for those who are In Christ Jesus!!”

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

BBE© 8:1 For this cause those who are in Christ Jesus will not be judged as sinners.

God cannot condemn/sentence Christ again, so since you are In Christ, therefore He can’t condemn/sentence you!! But declare that you are innocent, not guilty, upright, perfect!! You are God’s Beloved forever!!

Definition of God. Deuteronomy 6:4

God: ‘elohiym(0430)

Plural noun

One: “echad”

Composite one, unity

*Summary: There is One God, eternally existent in Three: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit; the Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Father, The Spirit is not the Father Nor the Son; But they are all the One God, One in Spirit/Essence/Substance, One in unity. They have differences in their function, but they are all equal in their essence. The Father is greater than Jesus in Function (in that Jesus has to submit to the Father), but not in Essence/Substance.

*The Trinity is The Mystery, How can the “created-us” understand God, the “Uncreated”? using knowledge from created human beings? not even the greatest German thinkers can figure it out.

Examples of Triune God of Grace in the O.T.

Genesis 19:24

Zechariah 2:8-9

Refer to resources at back of document.

Believers already have All of God

We have God the Holy Spirit living inside our bodies. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Father, and the Spirit of the Son. God the Father, God the Son is in Heaven right now but the Holy Spirit is on the earth.

*Acts 7:47-50, 56

*Romans 6:4-11

*2 Cor 5:17

*Ephesians 1:13

*Colossians 1:27; 2:10; 3:3

*Galatians 2:20

The descriptions of God the Holy Spirit are

-River

-Fire

-Wind

Therefore, we can’t have “more” of God

*God is not a ‘commodity’ nor a ‘force; God is not a ‘Thing’, where you can have 80% or 90% of Him, He is A Person. You either have ALL of Him or don’t.

*To have more God, is to mean the God the Holy Spirit is less than God the Son or God the Father.

But God is not confined to our understanding of space, time and physics. So we cannot try to understand God using our human minds.

*We already have all of God living inside our bodies, but He is not confined or locked up inside our bodies; He the Triune God can manifest Himself in different ways at different times as He wishes, inside or outside our bodies, through the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

*But its not about experience or feelings, because He is there even when you don’t feel Him; Just because you don’t feel Him at times, it doesn’t mean that He is not currently working in your life.

*The “manifestations of God” does not determine “how much of God” you have, hence we do not base our lives on experiences and feelings.

*The times when you feel more of Him, that doesn’t mean you have more Him; the times when you feel less of Him, it doesn’t mean you have less of Him. God does different things at different times however He chooses but He is Always Present all the Time, everywhere.

*God is with us all the time, even when we don’t feel Him, because His Presence is not dependant upon whether we feel Him or not. Matthew 28:20; Hebrews 13:5

*I believe it is our inheritance, for our 5 senses to feel God all the time in our lives. To feel the “kisses” of His mouth, His hugs, it’s intimacy with God and reality of Him operating in our lives.

*This is not the Oneness doctrine where they believe the God the Father all of a sudden becomes the Son, then becomes the Holy Spirit, and they transfer between each other.

*Although All of God lives inside our bodies, God is also everywhere in the universe- Omni-present.

-He is everywhere all Present. Psalm 139

-The nations are as nothing before Him. Isaiah 40:12-31

-Who understands God? Job 38:2- 39:30

*His Presence can manifest inside our bodies

-The River of God flowing out of our bodies with fire because His Throne is inside of us

*His Presence can manifest outside our bodies too. E.g.

-Raining in the Spirit

-An open porthole

How do we approach God the Father and God the Son?

-We approach the Father boldly through Jesus (being In Christ) by the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 2:18; 3:12; Hebrews 4:16

-We worship by the Holy Spirit

-We can pray, “Holy Spirit, please bring me to the Father through our Lord Jesus.” 2 Corinthians 13:14

-We are “In Christ”, meaning we share and participate in all the benefits of relationship that Jesus has with the Father

More Examples of the Triune God at work

*Jesus’ baptism

-Luke 3:21-22

-3 distinct persons, but the One God

*Jesus teaching His disciples to pray to the Father, not to Him nor the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 6:9

*God inhabits the praises of His people

Psalm 22:3

NRSV© 22:3 Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.

NASB© 22:3 Yet You are holy, O You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel.

KJV© 22:3 But thou [art] holy, [O thou] that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

-Acts 4:23-31, after they prayed, they were all full of the Holy Spirit

They prayed to the Father, and the Father answered it by giving the believers a revelation of Who the Holy Spirit is inside of them, then the revelation brought a manifestation, so they felt the fullness of the Holy Spirit

-Acts 16:23-26, Paul and Silas singing in prison

Revelation 8:3-5. Prayers goes up like incense, and God throws it down like lightning and the prison door open

*Grace and peace be multiplied to you from God the Father and our Lord Jesus the Messiah

revelation brings manifestation

More revelation to experience the reality

manifestation comes from what you already have

*When you pray for someone, and God touches them

Is it God from you that has touched them?

If they already have all of God, how can the God in you touch them?

Or is it God in them that has touched them?

What happens within the Triune God?

There is fellowship, love, respect and submission.

So are we to participate in the fellowship with the Triune God of grace, participating in Jesus relationship with the Father and the Holy Spirit.

Grace is not an end in itself; it is a means to an End, which to is to unify us with God. It is an invitation to be One, to joined and fellowship with the Triune God of Grace. Grace is the Way God relates to us and we relate to Him. Grace is the means for us to Know God, which is the purpose of eternal life. John 17:3.

What happens to these 2 extremes of people?

*People who just focuses on relationship with God without understanding grace, some will say, “We need to come to God to get more of Him, for God to pour out His Spirit, there is always more.”

Pros:

-They know how to hear God’s Voice

-In a sense, you can have more of God, in that you can get to know Him better in many ways.

Cons:

-They preach and insinuate that we have to ‘do something’ to get more of God, and that God won’t be pleased with us if we don’t’ do more.

-Fall into legalism, striving, self-righteousness

-Can fall into sin as well and find it very hard to get back because of condemnation/unworthiness

-Loss of joy

-Easily fall into Condemnation and guilt

-Hear the voices of accusation as the voice of God

-Become critical and self-righteous, judgemental of other people, proud.

-There is a serious condemnation and legalism problems if people who focus on relationship with God do not have a strong foundation on grace filter through everything they do.

-They only focus on God the Father and God the Son, they forget about God the Holy Spirit Who dwells within them

-They fall into this idea that God has a “perfect will” for their lives, when God has a “plan”, not a tightrope perfect will step by step robotic manual for you to live out.

*People who just focuses on Grace as an means to an end, some of them say, “we already have all of God, we don’t’ need to do anything or come to God. It’s all done.”

Pros:

-Living a life free from condemnation.

-They preach that we are free from laws, rules and performance mentality and that we don’t have a sinful nature anymore but are new creations in Christ. All has been done and we start from the finish line.

Cons:

-Can end up becoming lazy and do nothing for God because they mis-interpret grace.

-Fall into sin because there is no purpose, plan or vision to live for

-Don’t grow very much in their relationship with God, don’t spend much time with God, learning to hear His Voice

-They become spiritual orphans not knowing their heavenly Father very well.

-They only focus on God the Holy Spirit and forget about God the Son and God the Father

-There is an imbalance in the message of grace if its not focused on relating to God

-They don’t come to God the Father and develop their relationship with God, everything is just a legal standing.

Conclusion:

*We cannot have more of God and God cannot have more of us. But the Triune God can manifest Himself in different ways at different times as He wishes, inside our bodies which is His temple, and outside our bodies.

*We cannot have “More” of God, but we can always have “more” experiences of His Manifest Presence in different ways. But our faith should not be based up experience, our faith should be based upon truth that we are already in Union with Him regardless whether we feel anything or not.

*Can you see that, all our attempts to get more of God, by our human efforts, prayer and fasting, is simply foolishness and dung when you realise that God is everywhere and that you already have all of Him inside of you. What God really desires of us is that we walk with Him, fellowship and intimacy.

Basics of New covenant Righteousness (Base Scripture: Isaiah 53 & 54)

What is it?

Bbc (believer’s bible commentary)

-The righteousness of God can refer to His method of justifying ungodly sinners. He can do this and still be righteous because Jesus as the sinless Substitute has satisfied all the claims of divine justice.

-The righteousness of God refers to the perfect standing which God provides for those who believe on His Son (2Cor 5:21). Those who are not in themselves righteous are treated as if they were righteous because God sees them in all the perfection of Christ. Righteousness is imputed to their account.

Strong’s concordance (1343)

1) in a broad sense: state of him who is as he ought to be, righteousness, the condition acceptable to God 1a) the doctrine concerning the way in which man may attain a state approved of God 1b) integrity, virtue, purity of life, rightness, correctness of thinking feeling, and acting 2) in a narrower sense, justice or the virtue which gives each his due

How do we get it? How are we righteous before God?

-Because Jesus became our Sin, and we became His Righteousness

2 Corinthians 5:21 God made the one who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that in him we would become the righteousness of God.

-How did Jesus become Sin? Did He become Sin by Sinning? No!! He was tempted in All ways, yet without sin. (Heb 4:16). Jesus received our Sin as a Gift; He received Undeserved/Unmerited Sin.

-How do we become righteous? By doing righteous things? No. It’s important to do righteous things, but the point is we didn’t become righteous by doing righteous things. We were Made righteous by God through Christ, we received Righteousness as an Gift. Just as Jesus didn’t sin to become Sin, so we didn’t do any righteous things to become Righteous. We received underserved/unmerited Righteousness of God as a Gift, not because of any righteous acts we’ve done. We’re saved by grace (Ephesians 2:8-10)

*Because God poured out all His Justice anger on the entire human race who lived before and after Jesus, all on Jesus, so that there is no more anger left. God can never be angry with us believer’s again.

God was angry at sin because He is just judge

Psalm 7:11 God is a just judge; he is angry throughout the day.

Because God was angry with Jesus for our sin, He judged all our sins on Jesus to the fullest extent. Jesus was our substitutionary, sacrificial lamb (John 1:29).

Isaiah 53. V4-5,10. But he lifted up our illnesses, he carried our pain; even though we thought he was being punished, attacked by God, and afflicted for something he had done. He was wounded because of our rebellious deeds, crushed because of our sins; he endured punishment that made us well; because of his wounds we have been healed. Though the LORD desired to crush him and make him ill,
once restitution is made, he will see descendants and enjoy long life, and the LORD’s purpose will be accomplished through him.

What makes God angry? Sin.

So if God can’t see our sin, there is nothing to make Him angry. If He only sees us Righteous in Christ, then there is nothing He can be angry with but only happy with.

*Because God can no longer be angry at us for our sin, now He swears an Oath I will never be angry at you again. Isaiah 54 comes straight after Chapter 53 of Jesus suffering the wrath of God for our sins, then immediately we are told God can never be angry with us again.

Galatians 4:26-28 speaks of Isaiah 54:1. This is proof that this Scriptures talks about the New Covenant. The New covenant is what believers have entered into, it was originally made with Israel but we get to participate in the promises through faith in Christ. Ephesians 2:11-17; Hebrews 8:7-13; 10:14-18

Isaiah 54. V.9-10. “For this is like the waters of Noah to Me; For as I have sworn That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth, So have I sworn That I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you. For the mountains shall depart And the hills be removed, But My kindness shall not depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,” Says the LORD, who has mercy on you.  

Vowed: shaba`(07650)

to swear, adjure 1a) (Qal) sworn (participle) 1b) (Niphal) 1b1) to swear, take an oath 1b2) to swear (of Jehovah by Himself)

Angry: qatsaph(07107)

to be displeased, be angry, fret oneself, be wroth 1a) (Qal) to be wroth, to be full of wrath, to be furious 1b) (Hiphil) to provoke to wrath or anger 1c) (Hithpael) to put oneself in a rage, anger oneself

Shout: ga`ar(01605)

shouts, rebuke, rebuked, discipline, cry against, reprimand, shout, tell, stop, shouted, terrified, reprimanded

Isaiah 12:1 And in that day you will say: “O LORD, I will praise You; Though You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me.

Psalm 103:9-10, a prophecy of the New Covenant in which the Messiah Jesus would fulfill.

103:9 He does not always accuse, and does not stay angry. 103:10 He does not deal with us as our sins deserve; he does not repay us as our misdeeds deserve. 


For the believer in the New Covenant, God will never be displeased, show anger or punish you for your sin again. God sees you Righteous in Christ. This is what I remind myself of everyday that God is not angry at me and He will never shout or be displeased towards me ever again.

Now that we are righteous and God sees us righteous, how does the Holy Spirit relate/treat us?

John 16:7-11 But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I am going away. For if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you. 16:8 And when he comes, he will prove the world wrong concerning sin and righteousness and judgement –16:9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in me;16:10 concerning righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer; 16:11 and concerning judgement, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.

Prove (1651)

World (2889)

the ungodly multitude; the whole mass of men alienated from God, and therefore hostile to the cause of Christ

V.9 because THEY/WORLD/UNBELIEVERS don’t believe in Me

Vine Nt: hamartia (G266)

is, lit., “a missing of the mark,” but this etymological meaning is largely lost sight of in the NT. It is the most comprehensive term for moral obliquity. It is used of “sin” as (a) a principle or source of action, or an inward element producing acts, e.g., Rom_3:9; Rom_5:12, Rom_5:13, Rom_5:20; Rom_6:1, Rom_6:2; Rom_7:7 (abstract for concrete); Rom_7:8 (twice), Rom_7:9, Rom_7:11, Rom_7:13, “sin, that it might be shown to be sin,”

“Sin’ is in the singular and it is a Noun. It is talking about the Sinful nature.

The Holy Spirit will convince the world of of unbelievers of their sinful nature. John 3:18,36; 8:24. Mark 16:16. But when people become born again, the Holy Spirit can no longer convince them that they have sinful nature anymore but that they are New Creations in Christ, Righteous in their spirit. Also The Holy Spirit only make unbelievers Not believers convinced that they are sinners and they need a saviour. How can the Holy Spirit convict you as a believer of your sin if God Remembers them No More? a double negative? is God confused? Hebrews 10:17-18, Heb 10:2 “For the worshippers would have been cleansed Once and For All, and would No Longer have Felt Guilty for their Sins.”

V10. Concerning Righteousness, because I AM GOING TO THE FATHER

God will judge the world one day to see if they’ve received His Gift of Righteousness. Acts 17:31.Jesus was crucified to take the punishment of my sin, and He was raised to make me Right with God (Righteousness/Justification) Romans 4:23-25. 6:11. Jesus included my sinful nature in His death, when He rose from the dead He included me in His Resurrection, I was was raised with Him in Resurrection life and now I share in His Life, share His Righteousness- Right standing with God. The Holy Spirit will only Convict/Convince that you are God’s Righteousness. He is the Comforter, Encourager, He will always show you what is Right about you Not what is wrong with you, He will always show you that God has already forgiven you. Can you imagine becoming good friends with someone who is always pointing our your faults, saying you are not good enough, always angry with you? What about when you were young and your father was always angry at you, didn’t that make you rebel more?

V.11 Concerning Judgement, because the ruler of this world has been Condemned.

The devil is the one that is condemned, it’s not the Job of the Holy Spirit to condemn Christians. Romans 8:1

The Holy Spirit’s Job is to convince us that we are the Righteousness of God in Christ.

The Holy Spirit is here to shows us what is Right about us, not what is wrong with us. He reminds and shows us that we are Righteous In Christ

Christians think that its the Holy Spirit’s job to show them what is wrong with them, point out their faults and sins all time. They think the Holy Spirit is always showing them what is wrong with them and sin in their lives. Some people even pray to God, “please show me what is wrong with me?”

But He can’t do that, because God remembers your sins no more and there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Can you imagine becoming good friends with someone who is always pointing out your faults all the time?

He is the Helper, Encourager, Comforter.

Do not mistaken the devil to be the Holy Spirit. The devil is the accuser, lier about who are you.

Its the devil’s job to point out your faults lie to, you about your identity, telling you that you are still a sinner with a sinful nature, and condemning you saying you are not good enough. He is the prosecutor at law.

 Revelations 12:10-11

12:10 Then I heard a loud voice inheaven saying,

“The salvation and the power

and the kingdom of our God,

and the ruling authority  of his Christ, have now come,

because the accuser of our brothers and sisters,  

the one who accuses them day and night  before our God,

has been thrown down.

12:11 But   they overcame him

by the blood of the Lamb

and by the word of their testimony,

and they did not love their lives   so much that they were afraid to die.

How to overcome accusations against the New Covenant Grace

HowToOvercomeAccusationsAgainstGrace_1

HowToOvercomeAccusationsAgainstGrace_2

 

After listening and learning the teaching about the New Covenant of Grace for the last 4 years, I’ve decided that I will continue to stand for the message of God’s Good New s of grace because its only the message that has changed my life inside out!! Honestly, my life has been turned upside down, inside out. Life has never been better!!

Some have asked including me, “what about those Scriptures that seem to contradict the message of Grace? The book of revelations judgements of God? How about book of Acts, God killing king Herod, Annanias and Saphira? etc..” If you are a serious bible student, you will encounter those seemingly contradictory Scriptures.

Some of those questions already have answers to it, but its just that people have not studied it and searched it out or are not willing to learn about it.

Acts 12:1-5, 21-24. King Herod was persecuting the church and even killed James, he was stopping the gospel of grace, the Word of God from spreading so that more people could get saved. God would not allow grace of God to be stopped from spreading.

Joseph prince has already proved from Scriptures that Ananias and Sapphira were not believers but they saw the church growing, possessions and money being transferred, so they saw an opportunity to make money in the church and entered as imposters of the faith. That’s why God judged them because He wanted to protect his people from such fraud thieves, He is a Just God and He will protect His people.

 

1) Keep the Main thing, the Main Thing: Jesus the Messiah and Himself Crucified.

1 Corinthians 2:1-2

2:1 When I came to you, brothers and sisters, I did not come with superior eloquence orwisdom as I proclaimed the testimony of God. 2:2 For I decided to be concerned about nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

By the age of 13, Paul would have learnt the first 5 books of the bible. He was the pharisee of the pharisee, but now he claims that all he knows is Jesus Christ and Himself Crucified on a cross, that is the summation of the Old Testament, to see the prophetic picture of Christ in every page of the O.T. What the Old conceals, the New reveals. Christ is Old Testment manifested in the flesh, He is the Key to unlock every Scripture in the bible. This the mystery hidden from O.T. saints but revealed to N.T. saints, that is: Christ in you, the hope of Glory. Colossians 1:26-27.

 

2) Do not let an unclear scripture rob you the Joy of an Clear scripture

Everything in the bible was written to us, not for us.

E.g. Leviticus 20:9- God told Israelites to if a child disobeys his parents, the parents were to stone him to death. Does that mean we do it today? no it was only for the dispensation of the Old Covenant times.

Always read everything in the context of the time, language, culture, who wrote the letter, who was it written to.

Learn Bible Hermeneutics: The science of interpreting Scriptures. A Scripture cannot mean something to us today what it didn’t mean to the people back then.

Read the Bible in the context of the Covenants it was written

There are 8 Covenants in the bible, the New Covenant only started when Jesus died on the Cross and completed in Acts 2 when the Holy Spirit was poured out on the day of Pentecost.

Examples

OC: God told people to destroy their enemie

Nc: we don’t fight against flesh and blood, love one another.

OC: only preach to Israel. Matt 10:5-6

NC: preach to all peoples. Matt 28:19

Oc: do not take your cloak when you go evangelising: Matt 10:8-11

Nc: Jesus told them, take everything you have with you.

Read the rest of the bible through Paul’s interpretation of it.

Paul wrote more than 2/3 rds of the New testament

Go into the Hebrew and Greek to get clear meaning not just the translations.

 

 

3) Look at the Fruit in your own life; focus on what has worked, not what hasn’t worked. Luke 7:35.

In the last 4 years, the message of grace is the only things that has changed my life. It has made me feel more of God’s love, joy, Manifest Presence, I’ve seen more miracles and healing, being drunk in the Holy Spirit, it has freed me from condemnation and guilt. If it wasn’t for the grace message, I don’t know where I would be today. John 9:25 – “I was blind, but now I see.”

The law messaged has not changed but made me more condemned, confused, and has made feel less of God’s Presence, joy, seen less miracles etc…

Look at the fruit of the Spirit produced in your own life through the message of Grace, Galatians 5:22-23

Remember your brothers who’ve fallen by the way side; those who’ve been hurt by religion, church, legalism… the only way for them to be set free and come back is that you stand for the Good News of Grace!! This is the only hope for them!!

 

4) Focus on what you already know to be true, not what you don’t know yet.

Just because you don’t’ yet know something. i.e. all those seemingly contradictory Scriptures, it doesn’t mean what you already do know is Not the TRUE!!

Rest in what you already do know, and more will come to you.

Don’t base your life on something that you don’t’ know, but base your life on something that you already know to be TRUTH/ROCK.

Do not be fearful, because what you know has already changed your life.

The devil is the accuser and liar, he will lie to you about God’s Word and make you doubt what you Already Know and take Scriptures out of context. He won’t make you doubt what you don’t’ know but you already do Know.

Be faithful with the little that you already do know, and God will give you more. Luke 16:10

Don’t worry about what you don’t’ know, but become so Solid and Grounded in what you Already do know and it becomes a Rock and Might foundations. Become even more stronger in the grace that you already know!! John 8:32″ you shall know the Truth, and the truth will set you free.”

5) Our knowledge is ever growing, we will never know Everything the whole bible in just one day!!

Just be patient, more revelation will come

But don’t throw away the revelation that God has already given you.

Continue to ask God for more revelation. Ephesians 1:16-19

 

6) If you have found a Treasure in your lifetime, don’t be quickly to give it up. Matthew 13:44

Nothing ever worth going for was ever easy to get

This revelation of Grace is a treasure, it’s worth, and its not easy to keep on because the enemy wants to take it from you, but its worth to give your life for it.

Guard the message of Grace that God has revealed to you with everything you’ve got!!

Resist the grace hating spirit!!

Extend grace to those who don’t understand grace, don’t look down on them, don’t’ act like a ‘grace Pharisee proud person’.

 

7) Become even more stronger in what you already know, be radical, give your whole life for it. Acts 20:24; Hebrews 13:9

Just like Paul who gave his whole life for the gospel of grace in the midst of hardship and persecution.

Can you imagine what Martin Luther experienced? One man against the whole catholic church!!

Don’t be intimidated!!

 

8) Don’t become discouraged by those who have abused the message of grace as a license for laziness and blatant sin. Titus 2:11-13

Grace is not an means to itself; its an means to an end, which relationship with God.

People who focus on grace and forget about developing a relationship with God end up becoming lazy, can even fall into some sins and live like spiritual ‘orphans’.

Our relationship with God is based on grace, no longer on law.

Be patient with people who are abusing the grace of God, that God will change them in time.

 

9) Remember those who have gone before us, forerunners of the message of good news of grace. Hebrews 13:7

E.g. Joseph Prince, Andrew Wommack, Rob Rufus, Andrew Farley, George and Winnie Banov, John Crowder etc…

Your friends who have stood for the gospel of grace.

 

10) Connect with those people who believe the same as you and learn from each other, be teachable; have discussions with people who are not for the message of grace, and it will make you stronger as well.

 

In conclusion, the devil hates this message of God’s Unmerited favor; don’t be naive, be humble in the way you act towards but don’t compromise the message. For the sake of the Gospel and for the freedom of the people, I”m sticking with the message of Grace. Honestly, this the only message and the only way to live the Christian life that has changed my life inside out!!

If you have nothing to stand for, you will have nothing to live for; if you have nothing to live for, you’ll have nothing to die for.

The world is full of people who don’t know what they stand for and they have nothing to live for!! even the people who don’t believe in grace, they have nothing to stand for, because some of them don’t’ even know what they believe in- its ‘Babylon’, confusing- one day they believe they are going to heaven , then next they believe they can goto hell, they have nothing to stand for.

 

In conclusion, be grateful and thankful for the revelations of God’s Grace that you’ve been given and take it for granted- this is the only thing that can set people free forever!!

 

Like William Wallace, shout, “FREEDOM!!!!!”

It can only get Better!!!

From augsburg Germany, where the reformation in the 1500′s originated here I think.

How to be filled and drunk with the Love and Joy of the Spirit of Jesus all day long, effortlessly? Ephesians 5:18

Who is God The Holy Spirit?

  • New Wine. Luke 5:38; Acts 2:13
  • The Third Person of the Triune God. 2 Corinthians 15:14

What does it mean to be ‘drunk’ with the Holy Spirit?

  • Definition: Filled (Gk)- that the idea intended is that believers are to be filled by means of the [Holy] Spirit. (as opposed to be filled with wine; hence God wants us to be under the control and the influence of the Holy Spirit, meaning that there will always be Joy inside of us and we should be able to feel the power of God in our lives continuously.Strongs: ??????(4137) Pronunciation: play-ro’-o1) to make full, to fill up, i.e. to fill to the full 1a) to cause to abound, to furnish or supply liberally 1a1) I abound, I am liberally supplied 2) to render full, i.e. to complete 2a) to fill to the top: so that nothing shall be wanting to full measure, fill to the brim

Just like similiary when a person gets drunk on normal wine, they loose all inhibitions and does not worry what others think of them, comes under the influence of wine, looses control of hiimself, becomes happy and laugh, and starts to sing!!

  • It means to come under the Influence of the Holy Spirit. overpowered by Him
  • It means to be filled with Joy Unspeakable
  • It means to loose the fear of man
  • It leads to praise and singing songs to God and one another
  • It means to be unpredictable and spontaneous

Summary: Life is short, the wisest way you can live your life, is live life being fulled to the top overflowing with the Holy Spirit (drunk on Him) singing to one another in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Ephesians 5:15-21

Why are some people not filled with the Joy of the Holy Spirit? Galatians 4:15

  • Living under the Law of Moses/ 10 Commandments
  • Legalism: trying to live upto a standard in order to please God and never feeling that you’ve fully lived upto it
  • The Good News of Jesus is an offense to man’s self-righteousness, thinking that there is still something you can do to earn more of God!! The foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom (1Corinthians 1:18-25)

How to be Filled to overflowing with the Joy of The Holy Spirit?

1) STOP TRYING!! Just realise that you are already drunk with the Holy Spirit, the New wine already lives inside of you!! Galatians 3:1-5. The very thing that will stop you from being drunk in the Holy Spirit is ‘trying’. The definition of Religion is “Trying to get something that you Already have as a Gift.” James 4:6. God resist those who are trying to get drunk with the Holy Spirit by their human effort.

2) STOP trying to get ‘more of God’, get closer to God, or get more of the Glory!! Realise that you already have the Fullness of Christ living inside of you, and that you can’t get anymore of Him, you are the Temple of the Living God, you are the HOly of Holies, you are in heaven right now and He is living inside of you.- Christ in you, the Hope of Glory!! Colossians 1:19,26-27; 2:9-10; 1Cor 6:19;2 Cor 6:16; Ephesians 2:19-22.

3) STOP trying to die to your ‘old man’, because you don’t have a sinful nature anymore and you are new creations in Christ, because you already have been co-crucified with Christ, and you don’t live anymore but Christ lives in you. Colossians 2:11-14; Galatians 2:20; 5:24; 6:14,15; Romans 6:3-11; 2 Corinthians 5:17. Our sinful nature has been circumcised/Cut off, only needs to be done Once. Can you imagine having a daily circumcision in real life? that doesn’t make any sense, so it doensn’t make any sense that our sinful old man has to be crucified everyday.

1Cor 15:30-32- “I die daily” said Paul was referring to him putting his life in danger and also being persecuted for preaching the gospel, it was not referring to him dying to his sinful nature. Romans 8:35-37. He made a decision to live for Christ no matter what happened to him. Dying daily is about daily decisions for Christ, disciplining your body like an athlete (1 Coriinthians 9:27) its not talking about dying to your old man- there is a Big difference!!! It’s so much easier to live for God when you feel the power of His Presence flowing through your life.

4) STOP trying to live under the law of Moses; realise that you are no longer under the Old Covenant law of Moses but you are 100% completely under the Covenant of Grace, the New Covenant of total unconditional acceptance forever. Romans 6:14; Titus 2:11-12. Remember, your relationship with God is now based on Grace Covenant Not law.

Please goto www.gracerevolution.tv and read/listen to my teaching called, “Dead to the law, married to Jesus” available both in German and English.

5) STOP trying to ‘please God’ when He is already pleased with you. We don’t do things for God to get Him to love us more- that is self-righteousness which is Filthy rags in God’s Sight (Isaiah 64:6), but we love Him because He already is pleased and loves us. God was only pleased one thing, that is Jesus’ sacrifice. Be delivered from “God pleasing”, realise that God is completely pleased with you already through His pleasing with Jesus, because Jesus’ perfect obedience was credited to your account. Stop trying to so hard to please God, thinking there is actually something you can do- when God is only pleased with the Perfect obedience of His Son Jesus.

Your effort to try to please God to earn His Love for you, does nothing at all- when He only loved you because He was pleased with Jesus sacrfice.

God is only pleased with faith (Hebrews 11:6), when we live by faith in the Gift of Righteousness Not by law to attain right standing with God, this is when we Truly pleas Him. Lets do things for God out of a right motive.

Precautions: do not act stupid, disrespectiful while being filled with the Holy Spirit. E.g. when you are driving a car control yourself and don’t have an accident. Sometimes be aware of people around you that you dont’ act disrespectfully depending on the occasion.

In conclusion,

Turn away from pride, thinking there is still something you can do to get more of God, that is self-righteousness, and just rest in Jesus Gift of Righteousness and you will effortly enjoy the full benefits of union with Him, that is Joy and love unspeakable!!!

Believe that you already have the Fullness of Christ living in you, and you are Already drunk with the New Wine of the Holy Spirit. Then that revelation will manifest.

Be like Paul, who claimed to know Nothing Except Christ and Himself Crucified. This is the key to unlock all things.

1 Corinthians 2:1-2 When I came  to you, brothers and sisters,  I did not come with superior eloquence orwisdom as I proclaimed the testimony of God. For I decided to be concerned about nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified

Can take God’s Word like your would take medecine? E.g 3 times a day.

Proverbs 4:20-22

My child, pay attention to my words;

listen attentively  to my sayings.

4:21 Do not let them depart from your sight,

guard them within your heart; 

4:22 for they are life to those who find them

and healing to one’s entire body.

18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,  

and those who love its use will eat its fruit.

 

Romans 10:17 

Consequently faith comes from what is heard,and what is heard comes through the preached word of Christ.

Why are some believers not healed?

October 24, 2011 in German translation, Healing, Mp3, New Covenant, Old Covenant

Thankyou so much to Andrea B. from the Augsburg House of Prayer Getbetshaus you are a star for Jesus!!!, for organising this opportunity and translating, and everyone at the Augsburg house of prayer and those who came.

This is the message that we discussed, English and translated into German.

Bless you all :-)

Soon there will be another message on “The Scriptures says that it is God’s Will for everyone who comes to Him for healing, to be healed.”

Why are some people not healed?

hindrances to healing are from man’s side, not from God’s side. Healing is a Grace, God does not require any conditions from you in order to heal you, He has already healed you through Christ finished work on the cross, completely independant of you- all you need to do is believe and receive. But you can block your healing through unbelief in the Grace and Goodness of God.

WhySomeAreNotHealed_5

 

Why some believers are not healed?

1.1 They don’t know that it is God’s will for everyone to be healed all the time. God has provided the possibility for it in His atonement. They don’t’ know the Truth about Divine Healing as explained in the Scriptures. Jesus healed All who came to him for healing. Matt 4:23;8:2-3,16-17;12:15;14:14,36; Luke 9:11, Acts 10:38.

1.21) They think they have to be good enough to get healed. They are living under legalism, the law. Galatians 3:10-14; Deut 28:1-2, 15-24. They come under the curse of sickness.

1.2.1 We are under the New Covenant of Grace, not the Old Covenant of law by Moses. Hebrews 8:7-13; Roms 6:14; 7:1-6.

1.2.2 Exodus 34:7; Num 14:18; Ezek 18:18-20. Generation curses are no longer from God- the son will not die for the sins of his father nor the father die for his son’s sins. But the devil can try to put things “generational curses” from your ancestors on you through lies, but you can overcome them by renewing your mind with God’s Word and the Spirit of God. Under the Old Covenant, God promises to remember your sins to the 3rd and 4th generation, but in the new covenant, He promises to remember your sins no more. (Hebrews 8:12)

1.2.3 Condemnation produces sickness, the cells of body creates sickness for you- it is self-inflicted diseases. Psychosomatic diseases.

1.2.4 What does it mean to live under the law?

-To do something in order to earn a perfect record before God

-To do something in order to be rightly approved by God so He will be pleased with you.

-To do something, to keep the whole law perfectly.

-If you don’t do something, God will be angry with you, judge you and curse you, withdraw His Presence and love from you.

1.2.5The doctrine of Justification by Faith

-We are made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ’ Perfect record and sacrifice, His finish work on the cross Not by our self-righteousness. Isaiah 64:6.

-We receive the Gift of Righteousness, a righteousness that is from God, not from man- which is self-righteousness. Romans 1:16-17;10:1-13

-We are new creations in Christ, we don’t have a sinful/old man anymore. Romans 6:4-11; 2Cor 5:17; Gal 2:19-21;5:24;6:14-15

1.2. They think they are too good, and that they deserve to get healed because of their good works; are proud, self-righteous. God resist the proud, gives grace to the humble. Ephesians 2:8-9;James 4:6-7. E.g. an unbeliever drug dealer gets healed of an disease that an leader of an church is trying so hard to get healed of by proving to God that he is good enough for it!

1.2.6 We are healed not because of our good works, but because of Jesus perfect work and He was whipped for our sicknesses. Isaiah 53:4-5, Matthew 8:16-17, 1Peter 2:24

1.2.7 The 2 people whom Jesus said had the greatest faith, were both Gentiles, non-Jews; they never had Moses Law or the Old Covenant to earn a right-standing before God. They were never sin-conscious, but were only Jesus and Grace conscious. Luke 7:1-10; Matt 15:21-28.

1.33) Their sickness has become their comfort and identity, so they don’t actually want to be healed. Mark 10:46-52. Blind Bartimaeus had to throw away his cloak to come to Jesus, his cloak was his identity and possession, it was his comfort.

1.44) They don’t have enough revelation yet. Ephesians 1:-16-19

1.55) They struggle to believe that God loves them just for who they are. They find it easy to believe that God wants to heal others through them, but not sure God wants to heal them. They have an worker mentality rather than a Son identity.
