We have chosen to do another replay from an earlier season. This teaching was first posted in 2020, but it´s still very relevant right now.

God is love, and Christ expressed that love through his life by giving himself for the world. When we encounter the Father´s love we are set free from ourselves so that His love can flow more and more freely through us in a life of humility and vulnerability. True ministry in the kingdom of God is always motivated by self giving love.

The Faith of Jesus Christ Flows Through You 39:07

14 weeks ago39:07

39:07

In the New Covenant, we have been given an ever increasing faith. This has happened because Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. He now shares His faith with us and because of this, lack of faith is never our problem anymore. We simply need more revelation of the Father's love and the finished work of Christ. Faith is not a religious work or positive self-talk. It is simply a manifestation of the life of Christ through us!

Brokenness & Humility Before the Father 36:04

16 weeks ago36:04

36:04

Brokenness and humility is the way forward in the Kingdom of God. Our royal dignity as the Father's sons and daughters is meant to be revealed through our humility. God leads us through seasons of brokenness to conform us into the image of Christ. That will lead ro humility. When we humble ourselves before the Father, He will lift us up and reward us greatly and richly!

Ordained by the Father as Ministers of the New Covenant 38:30

38:30

We have been ordained by the Father as ministers of the New Covenant. The only credentials we need is that we are doing what we see the Father doing, by allowing Jesus to express His life through us. Religion always build hierachal and formal authority, but in the Kingdom of God, only relational authority expressed through self-giving love works. This is how the children of God is partnering with Christ to spread the love of the Father!

The Life of Christ Through You 35:55

20 weeks ago35:55

35:55

In the New Covenant, all ministry is about Jesus revealing and expressing His life through us. We no longer live for Christ. Instead, He now lives His life through us. Our calling is to allow Jesus to be everything that He wants to be and express through us. We never have to wonder about our calling... we just need to let the life of Christ flow through us!

Jesus walked in the power of the Holy Spirit and demonstrated what it looks like when a fully mature son of God walks in his inheritance.

Jesus became like us, to make us like Him. This means that we are now our Father's beloved children. He is well-pleased with us and He pours His favor over us. This is the foundation for our sonship. When we embrace this reality, we can start to manifest our inheritance as sons and daughters. However, the way to the full manifestation of the Father's promises will bring us through trials in the wilderness.

The Burning Love of Jesus Christ 32:40

32:40

The love of God is a fire that sets us ablaze with a holy passion. When we abide in His love, our hearts will be warm and tender, so that we can grow in Christlikeness. If we forget to abide in His love, our heart grows cold and we will be trapped in legalism. Jesus wants to baptize us in the fire of the Father's love everyday. Receiving that love is our main calling!

The fruit of the Spirit & and the beatitudes reveals the character of the Lamb. When we abide in the love of the Father, the character of the Lamb is formed in us. In this way, we extend the Kingdom, not only by the power of Christ but in the humility and self-giving love of Christ as well.

The Grace & Meekness of the Lamb 34:26

48 weeks ago34:26

34:26

Jesus is the Lamb of God, who shepherds us in meekness and grace. His character looks like the fruit of the Spirit. He creates a culture where the weak, broken and wounded are healed and restored again. In comparison, religious and worldly power is all about dominating and oppressing people into obedience. The beast in the book of Revelation is a prophetic picture of this. But when we're rooted and grounded in the love of Christ, Jesus will shine forth in every area of our lives, and many people will be healed and set free.
