The book of Nehemiah holds some critical blueprints and keys for what we are building, so we are posting a 5-part series that Tim did back in 2015. In this first message, Tim looks at the importance of the God encounter when…

In the final message for 2023, and the final one for this series on “Getting Established”, Tim looks at getting established in destiny and calling. The process of calling begins with understanding that I am a “sent one”, not just a “saved one”. From there, we go on a process of discovering who we are and what we are called to. The process the Fathe…

Tim continues the series on “Getting Established”. In part 2 of getting established in love, Tim opens up 1 John 4:7-21 where John delivers us some challenging truths above the nature and practice of love, which are critical definitions in the day we are living in. Then, from Ephesians 3 and 4 we see the process - the how to - of getting establishe…

Tim continues the series on “Getting Established”. This message part 1 on getting established in love. Moments of encounter with the Father’s love are so important and wonderful, and yet, we need to steward those encounters well so they lead to being established. There are two things that can’t stand when we are established in love. One is rejectio…

In part 2 of this series on Getting Established, Tim looks at getting established economically. God’s heart for His people is that they be completely immune to what is going on in the economies of the world and that they would have their own self-sustaining, abundant economy, so that they never have to consult the bank account to know what the will…

God is not just about saving you, getting you to heaven, and letting you do some good along the way. His plan for you is so much more powerful than that. This is the beginning of a series on “Getting Established”. The action of God to set you up as immune to the conditions of the world around you in the same way a strong lighthouse is unmoved no ma…

In the week following Father’s Day, Tim speaks to the value of fathers. Fatherhood is under attack, and the world is preaching a message that fathers are unnecessary. Yet, so many social statistics tell us the exact opposite. When fathers are absent, things go badly wrong. Malachi foresaw a time where fathers and children will be disconnected in su…

Vaughan Blackwood continues this short series. In this message, Vaughan focuses us on the “sacred companions” by exploring the true nature of covenant love. “Family” is not a goal. It is a by-product of covenant love, which produces the fruit of mature sons and daughters. We are being called into a culture where we go deep with each, and learn to l…

We have been called into an epic quest with sacred companions - a quest that started with Jesus, and was passed to us in the final moments of Jesus’s life on earth. Vaughan Blackwood digs into the beginning of the upper room discourse in John 13 - the final meal Jesus had with the twelve before going to the cross. Do we realise the seriousness of w…

In a challenging prophetic message for this season of change and transition, Tim opens up Haggai 1 and 2. The remnant had returned from captivity in Babylon but had given up on rebuilding the temple and were just focused on their own lives - living comfortably, while God’s house was still in ruins. God spoke through Haggai to call the people back t…

At the start of the year, God spoke two key strategic words to Tim - set the table, and raise the army. (They are on our podcast back in March and April). We are heading into a new wineskin - a new paradigm, and the new is in you … that is, how church will look and what we will do will form around the unique callings and blueprints of the people. T…

When Israel crossed over from the desert into the promised land, it represented the most significant shift in a generation. 40 years of doing things the same - largely focused on themselves and their families and practicing their faith in the desert. Then in one day everything changed. Where God once was, He now was not. The focus of God’s activity…

Last time Tim talked through 4 thresholds in Kingdom life. The second of those thresholds was the threshold of Lordship - where Jesus is not just IN my life. He’s lord of my life. Tim and Vaughan Blackwood have an interactive discussion on the place of Scripture in that lordship threshold. As a church culture we are barely a generation away from a …

In part 2 of this series on thresholds, Tim looks at 4 thresholds in Kingdom life. These thresholds are part of a meta-process of growth and development into the fullness of our calling and destiny. At each threshold, there is warfare, and a series of choices that need to be made. The temptation, when we don’t understand what is really happening, i…

The concept of “thresholds” in Scripture is one of those subjects that you don’t see and until you see it. Then once you see, you can’t un-see it, and you see it everywhere. Tim shows us that a threshold moment is a transition place from one season into another. It happens in the natural (e.g. puberty), and it also happens in the spirit as God lead…

It’s so important to be reminded that we don’t have to commit intellectual suicide to be a Christian. This Easter Sunday, Tim takes us through some of the facts and data surrounding Jesus’ life and death, and the sheer weight of fulfilled Old Testament prophecy, and Jesus’ claims - that completely rules out Him being simply a good moral teacher. Ti…

The last message focussed on the “raise the army” part. Today we focus on the imperative to “set the table” - to create an atmosphere that is welcoming, loving, and healing, so that broken people can come, fall apart, and be loved back to life. Loving well requires a healed heart. My ability to love someone says more about me than the other person.…

We are in a transition season, and what we have known in the past is no longer sufficient for where God is taking us. Israel faced this transition after they crossed the Jordan. They moved from a season characterised by “coming out” to a new season of “going in” - taking the land that God had promised them. This was an entirely new operating system…

Remnant seasons are a time where there is a focused purifying - often following some kind of correction from God. Not all of the people of God can handle the correction, and many grow weary and lose heart. Tim and Debbie describe the season we are in, looking at Hebrews 12 and Acts 3. God has been working to bring His people back to what it is real…

Tim kicks off 2023, anchoring in Deuteronomy 1, where Moses is recounting to Israel their journey so far. They were at a place that God has bought them to in a mighty way… and where they could no longer stay. Israel had come out of Egypt, but not yet gone in to take possession of all that was promised. This is a picture of where the church is at. W…

Too often, we achieve a breakthrough - a deliverance, a moment of freedom - and we think the work is done. In fact, that’s when the work begins. Jesus taught that when a demon leaves it goes looking for somewhere to rest, and then attempts to return to where it was cast out from. As the people of God we need to become good at occupying territory af…

Deliverance has been on the rise. Breakthrough is increasing, and we’re coming out of a season where we have been shut down and silenced. This week went very different to plan, and that’s ok. Tim was going to teach on how to occupy territory that’s been conquered - i.e. what to do after the deliverance has happened. More on that next time. It seems…

This is the 3rd in this short series on The Spirit of Elijah. Isaiah 40 describes in part the spirit of Elijah, prophetically declaring the ministry of John the Baptist, who we know came in the spirit of Elijah. What preceded the spirit of Elijah was “comfort My people”. We have been through an extended traumatic season, and it’s easy to miss its i…

God wants to return to us His normal for us, which is double portion. God woke Debbie in the middle of the night and said clearly, “Disengagement has to go!” The disengagement has been a trauma response to the COVID season, and God is bringing His people back. To fully receive the double portion He has for us, we have to re-engage with His apostoli…

This is part 2 of 2 messages on the spirit of Elijah. Isaiah 61 shows us what the anointing that was on Jesus will do. It will heal broken hearts and set people free. But it doesn’t stop there. Isaiah 61 goes on to tell us what those who were once broken hearted - and now healed - will do. They will disrupt, heal and restore generational cycles and…

The spirit that was on Elijah was not only that of prophet. Malachi 4 tells us that the “spirit and power of Elijah” will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the children to the fathers. John The Baptist came in that spirit to “prepare the way of the Lord”. This anointing to heal hearts and heal families precedes the full ministry of…

Four words that are significant right now - chaos, Emmaus, eramos, osmosis. Vaughan Blackwood reminds us that in the plethora of distractions, we MUST find the quiet place to be with The Father so that we can walk into the chaos of the world empowered to make a difference and be an agent of transformation.…

Tim continues to speak on the two giants in the land of Kingdom breakthrough and heaven being fully manifested on earth … those being unbelief and orphanitis, Paul said to the Corinthians, “you have ten thouand teachers in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers”. Paul points to this as being the reason they are still stuck in immaturity. In our c…

As the church, we are commissioned to bring heaven to earth - to see the reality of heaven tangibly manifested in the earth realm. There are two key giants in our way at the moment - unbelief, and orphanitis. Today, Tim focuses on unbelief, and specifically our role as individuals to grow into a place of faith. When it comes to faith, size matters,…

One of the primary ways Jesus demonstrated the Kingdom was through healing and deliverance. Healing is not an added extra - a bonus. It’s in the atonement. Tim looks at three key truths about the ministry of physical healing, mixing teaching with stories and testimonies of different ways that healing has come. The onus is on us to learn and underst…

Like earth has the law of gravity, the Kingdom of God has “laws” by which it operates. If we are not seeing what Scripture promises manifested in our life, chances are we haven’t fully grasped how His kingdom works. One such “law” is the law of sowing and reaping. Sometimes we are not reaping what we want because we haven’t taken God at His word an…

It’s Mothers’ Day, and a great day to talk about one of the fundamentals of the culture of heaven - honour. Scripture says to “honour your father and mother that it may go well with you…” There is a sowing and reaping that happens around this particular area of honour. If things are not going well for you, there’s a chance that you have sowed disho…

Paul said to the Corinthians, “…we are not ignorant of the devil’s devices,” and he said to the Ephesians, “…put on the full armour of God so you can stand against the devil’s schemes.” What the enemy is doing is not our focus, and at the same time, we can’t be ignorant of what he is up to. Right now, the enemy wants us overwhelmed, and to dissocia…

Our measures of church “success” in the western world are a bit messed up. When Paul prayed for the churches he fathered, he prayed different things to what we typically pray. Tim builds on previous weeks to bring clarity to where we are going as an i61 family, and what we are working to build. He unpacks the five core “discipleship pillars” that u…

Over the past 2 years, fear seems to have become a normal part of our lives, yet it is not a normal part of the Kingdom life. Tim opens up Isaiah 60 and 2 Timothy 1:7. In the context of “deep darkness covers the earth…”, we are called to arise and shine. Fear becoming familiar in this past season wars against what we are called to. Love, power, and…

In our first corporate gathering for 2022, Tim opens up our core Scripture - Isaiah 61 - to remind us of the calling on us as a house, and set our calling in the context of a global strategic prophetic word from Chris Reed from Morningstar, and explained by Mike Bickle from IHOP Kansas City. We have been divinely positioned and prepared “for such a…

Unbelief is not “the lack of faith”. It is a substance - a weed growing in our garden. When Jesus healed the boy with the mute spirit in Mark 9, the boy’s father said, “I believe. Help my unbelief.” He had two trees growing in his garden. One that believed Jesus, and one that battled to. When we have “stuff” in our life that is less than what scrip…

It’s not hard for a global event of COVID-19’s magnitude to throw us off centre a bit. There has been grace for that. Now the season is turning. It’s time to stop thinking just about survival and start thinking about advancement. Tim reminds us that there is a kind of faith that attracts the realm of heaven to our situation. It’s time to start buil…

There is so much opportunity to be offended right now. So much division in the air. So easy to judge those who see things differently to us. Yet, we have been given a mission to show the world what love really is. Tim exhorts us to continue to grow in mature love. If we can only love those we agree with, the problem is us rather than them. In a wor…

We are in unusual times, and it is so easy to get pre-occupied with everything that is going on around us - what the government is doing, whether people are vaccinating, masking, cooperating, protesting, and so on the list goes. John chapter 5 gives us some keys to stay away from victim thinking, to stay powerful, and to cooperate with what The Fat…

We’re in lockdown and it feels like we’re just waiting. Lockdown or not, this side of heaven there is always a sense of waiting for something. Waiting in Scripture is an active stance. Debbie reminds us that our stance in the waiting determines our advancement!By Debbie Ferris

The story of Jesus calming the storm is very familiar to many of us, yet it speaks so powerfully to our current circumstances. The disciples needed their external world to change to feel ok on the inside. Jesus had peace and calm on the inside and released that into the external atmosphere. He lived from the inside out. As Kingdom people, that is o…

Proverbs 23:7 says, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” Our heart thinks! We are learning to respond to the voice of the Spirit of Adoption, but we undermine that voice if we cultivate something different on the inside. We need to pay attention to our internal atmosphere - the things we have playing on repeat inside us. We know the Kingdom is…

Our dear friend Matt Beckenham - Senior Leader of Haberfield Baptist Church brings us an encouraging word about “Permission” - intermingling the message with personal and corporate prophetic ministry.By Matt Beckenham

Debbie leads us in a time of prophetic ministry and prayer for healing, then Tim follows on from two weeks ago and ministers into the spirit of adoption - that voice from The Father that chases away fear. The language that The Father speaks isn’t just about the words spoken. The nature of the voice - it’s tone, it’s essence brings with it the touch…

Ephesians 4 tells us that we are pursuing mature love - the fullness of Christ. There is a spirit that is rife in Australia culture that wars against mature love - the spirit of rejection. Tim unpacks how the spirit of rejection gets a hold in us, how it operates, and how The Father wants to bring healing to our rejection wounds and connect us back…
