The Father makes it clear that He is the beginning and the end. If we were able to find all the spoken and inspired words describing God in the Word of God, we still would not come close to describing the Father of heaven. It will take eternity for us to discover all the attributes of God. This is the primary reason why we should be so excited about going to the Father and spending eternity with H...

If you have been doing any reading in the book of Revelation, you will discover that Babylon will show its face one more time. This city has always been a thorn in God's side. It has and will again pride itself in wisdom, wealth, and power. In the case of King Nebuchadnezzar, he was turned over to a depraved mind for making such arrogant claims. Dialog with the speaker: drphinney@iomamerica.org Th...

God says the rain falls on the just and the unjust. For our reading benefit, we could easily say the “money falls on the just and the unjust.” As we look around at the end-times, we see an entire world prospering, but only for a season. As with all spoiled children, people of the world only focus on others to get what they want, in order to spend it on their own pleasures. Email Teacher: drphinney...

Once Adam was put into the Garden, God told him to tend to it so that the seeds coming forth from these plants can bear new life and this was to be done BEFORE God granted him a helpmate.

Friendship in our post-modern times is viewed as some kind of self-love exchange. Long gone is the truest definition – a vessel to entrust the Gospel and mission of God. I openly admit that my friendships, as few as they are, are for the strict purpose of ministry inheritance. This may sound cold or rude but since I know God’s purpose of friendship, the o-pinions of others matter not to me. This i...

To have true friends (an exchange of identity) is a great personal blessing. Let’s face it, when you add up all your relationships on earth, most people can count on one hand true friends that are thicker than blood. Some of the most painful experiences of life come to us through broken friendships or having those we love turn on us at the first signs of disillusionment. But friendships are often...

Knowing and discovering your Spiritual Gifts is a fun and exciting journey. Always know that there may be many different types of gifts and manifestations of the Holy Spirit, but it is one Spirit that works all these together. He is the one who distributes them. It is not something you can pray in, practice having or even study to attain. God gives each of these gifts as He desires. It works that...

These manifestations are delivered by the sovereign hand of God (1 Corinthians 12:11). All Christians receive manifestations. The more willing the Christian, the more manifestations there are for them. The less willing the believer, the more a manifestation passes on to another who is saying: Lord, here am I, send me. This is why it appears that God is picking favorites. God is not picking favorit...

Please know that God works in all of His children, but God pours Himself through willing vessels. Many Christians do not like the idea of God healing people through them, casting out demons, performing miracles, speaking in tongues, or speaking words directly from God’s mouth. God desires to manifest Himself through the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit in any way He deems necessary to further t...

Spiritual gifts is a very important part of church growth. This is why so many body members put such an emphasis on these gifts. Many members believe that discipleship cannot start unless the person is saved. This is not true. Use of spiritual gifts is a part of the discipleship process. Most Christians believe the “great commission” is going into the world to get people saved. This is not the gre...

If we expect God to use us, He will be ready and willing to do so. God knows who needs ministry and whom He needs to use to get the job done. When you are in line with the above three items, God is bound to use you. It is important not to set standards on God. Be careful not to tell Him how you want to be used and what gifts you want Him to put in you. Fear of the unknown is a big problem with man...

God does not activate a gift(s) without placing the Life of Christ within the born-again believer. Once that happens, He shouts out a calling within the indwelt Christian so that the believer will NOT use the gifting on himself/herself, which is self-abasement. This is a public episode.

Love Life is the pinnacle of the Christian Life. Once appropriating the above 11 steps, the indwelt believer begins to reveal the two primary commandments Christ spoke: love the Lord with your whole heart and secondly, love your neighbor as yourself (Mark 1:30-31). The result is when we obey, we have no condemnation. When we have no condemnation, we have confidence toward God. Then, whatever we as...

Resting, Abiding, and Walking are the result of appropriating true forgiveness in all areas of life. It is living in the present, releasing the Life of Christ in you to be obedient to the Father through your mind, will, and emotions. When an indwelt believer gets to this point in growth, he is able to confront the self-centered view of life and to embrace the challenge of releasing the mind of Chr...

Seeking Forgiveness is the process of going to an individual whom you have offended by action or reaction, seeking their forgiveness, and restoring the relationship when possible. Once the believer has extended forgiveness before God on how he was hurt, he usually is released to go and seek the forgiveness for his part in the offense. It is in this process that we explain to the indwelt believer h...

Extending Forgiveness before God, in prayer, is forgiving anyone who has hurt you. Once an indwelt believer gets to this point, he is usually quick to release all anger and pain before God, extending forgiveness to those who initially hurt him, and in many cases, is ready to seek forgiveness from others whom he has hurt (Matt. 5:22-24). Seeking Forgiveness is the process of going to an individual...

Righteousness is an indwelt believer’s expression, function, and lifestyle of releasing the Life of Christ from within. Once a born-again believer begins to appropriate their position in Christ, their condition is soon to change, simply by watching the evidence of His Life being manifested through their mind, will, and emotions. This means that when life’s circumstances are put before him, he can...

Identity Matters is an experiential embrace and understanding of the believer’s identification with Christ in His death, burial, resurrection, and ascension -- in daily living. This is what we call the Exchanged Life. When an individual has a born-again experience by faith, it means the Life of Christ comes and indwells the believer through the personhood of the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of Christ J...
