Adam and Eve were originally created to be the tabernacle of Grace. This gave them a perfect identity in the Us – God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He created them as a triune man – replicating the Us. Their spirit was to house the Spirit of God, their soul was to reflect the mind of Christ, choices of the Father and the joy of everlasting worship. PDF Here: https://iomamerica.sermon.net/pdf/21...

There is global confusion when it comes to the meaning of "Christian Worldviews." Presently, there are over 300 religions that make claim to the name "Christian." We refer to these individuals and groups as "Christ-Followers." www. WorldviewInstitute.center This is a public episode.

The current rage in our Post-Truth culture is “grace.” You are certain to hear, “God loves you just the way you are.” What a disastrous lie. If this erroneous statement was true, why would God send His Son to give us a new life, new identity, and work toward renewing our minds throughout our entire indwelt Christian lives? Due to the reality that our culture has stolen the act of Grace and twisted...

If you are a convert to the beliefs of Jesus but do not possess His indwelling Life, you are a Christ-follower. The classic evidence of a convert of belief is you don’t hear the voice of the Spirit from within, you’re lazy, you’re excessively quiet or there is no motivation or compelling in your soul to speak the Truth when you are in the presence of sin. This video is a partnership media with the...

As most indwelt Christians know, Paul was to become one of the most significant New Testament figures for the Gentiles and Jews alike. His messages have been meticulously passing down from generation to generation. The words that Jesus spoke to Ananias that day not only pointed him in the right direction but it ignited the prophetic movement of transformation of generations – literally changing th...

Visions are the Lord’s ability to open the inner eyes of man to see the outward activities of God. Since man tends to cement their beliefs within what he sees, God makes use of this creational fact to communicate with His children and thus, cement His beliefs. www.

The writer of the book of Acts proceeds to give a narrative of Stephen’s life after salvation. He was the first of the seven deacons to advance the first generation church. His faith, miracles and Divine overflow of the Holy Spirit shook the foundation of all who heard him. Stephen’s elocution of the Word and Divine wisdom, with his unwillingness to shut his mouth (courage) and fearless approach,...

He is said to be full of the Holy Spirit, full of grace; for he had a sufficiency of it for the service and sufferings he was called to. He was full of power to preach the undeluded Gospel, and teach it to the people with authority bestowed from Heaven above. He was compelled to defend it and oppose the adversaries of it; to bear reproach and harsh treatment for it, and even death itself. Stephen...

The Lord added to the first generation church daily as observers asked to receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit as the group at Pentecost had. This all was accomplished through revealing the oneness of mind, ministry of the Word, gladness, and sincerity of heart. Many souls were won and gained to Christ as a result of the Holy Spirit’s overflow. www. WorldviewInstitute.center This is a public...

In order to move the first generational church into exponential growth, this group needed to walk with the people in all the ordinances and commandments of the Lord; secondly, they had to trust in whom God had chosen to receive indwelling salvation in Jesus Christ. Each convert clearly demonstrated they had redemption by His precious blood, and who were now regenerated and sanctified by the indwel...

The transitional phase of setting the stage for the New Covenant Gospel had to be closed. The ascension accomplished this. The two angels opened the vision and hope of eschatology, which created a passion to finish their marching orders with endurance. Within days of this event, the eleven will receive the same power Jesus Himself used within His ministry – by way of the indwelling Holy Spirit. ww...

Authentic Christians need to initiate the release of the Spirit within other born-again believers through means of Grace, which is a Divine influence upon the heart. They also need to avoid the demonic doctrines of changing behavior to change the heart. Responsible indwelt Christians will use the fronting of behavior to reveal the condition of the heart. www. WorldviewInstitute.center This is a pu...

When we compare the word Life with that of religion, we are able to see the message of the Cross. Since religion is an external expression of what one believes, and Life is a road, action or passageway to go through, we see clearly why Jesus never spoke the word religion. www.

The Effortless Life | Have you heard a branch growning as it was receiving the sap from the vine to produce grapes? No. It is an effortless flow that happens as long as the branch is abiding in the branch. Thus our focus on the Abiding Life of Jesus Christ. Are you “trying” or abiding? That is the question.
