The spirit of fear. When hearing those words, one may remember the popular verse that speaks to how that spirit is not what He has given. Where does it come from then? How does one get free from such? Since He has given love, how does one walk in this perfect love? How does one live with a sound mind? The answers exist in the midst of His perfect love!

Are you a fearful person? When asked, one may be apt to say no. After all, some view having fear as a sign of weakness and do not want to be seen as such. But…are you stressed? Anxious? Worried? The response to these questions are more likely to be yes. Nevertheless, if we can perceive it, the overriding influence of these emotions is fear. As believers, we are designed to testify of Abba’s love b...

Fear. The word alone may cause certain feelings within, for we all have had our own experiences with it. But whatever the circumstance, we are left with a choice. Will we yield to fear or will we choose to yield to His perfect love? Will we “stand still” and wait on Him to move forward or will we continually wander on our own accord?

There are many lenses one could look through when trying to define the word “son.” Our Father invites us to look at sonship through the eyes of His Son, who walked this earth with a knowing of why He came. He knew His “why,” so that we could know ours.

When one hears the phrase “heart of worship,” often the first thought that comes to mind is worship by way of song. However, when examining scripture, there are many instances where worship takes on a meaning outside of the accompaniment of music. Look at Abraham when he was asked to sacrifice Isaac. The posture of his heart was surrendered to the Word of the Lord…his obedience and surrender was a...

The bread is fresh. The table is set. An empty seat is awaiting. The invitation to sit at the table and dine with Him has been given. Being seated with Him and setting the Lord before will usher in divine encounter. And divine encounter will produce a knowing of Him by way of experience.

Jesus’ resurrection is a fundamental part of our faith. It changed everything. It should absolutely be celebrated and talked about! But it should not stop there. It is not meant to just be talked about, it is meant to be experienced. This experience is not just for us, but it is evidence to the world.

Life is but a vapor. We only have so long on earth. When life’s to do lists try to distract, may the stirring within our hearts remind us of the point of it all. We have been identified by our Father as sons and daughters. We are called to serve. We are called to love one another as He has loved us.

What does servanthood look like? There are certain examples that come to mind, but one stands above the rest. Jesus modeled the attributes of servanthood like no one else. He lived His life in a way that demonstrated He knew exactly who He was and why He was here. He showed us what it means to serve by walking confidently in identity, being a giver, and choosing to love no matter what. This is the...

From the Old Testament until now, our assignment has been the same. We are called to tend to the flame. In the days of old it was about gazing upon a sacrificial fire. Now, it is all about staring into eyes like fire. The invitation is to behold Jesus. For when we behold the eyes like fire, there is no other option than to come out with an authentic flame.

In the culture we live in today, the world will try to influence us into thinking we are called to this and that. As Believers, it is significantly important that we come into the authentic expression of who He designed us to be and operate from a place of knowing why He designed us that way. When we begin to express this, the parts of the body of Christ will come together in unity with the Father...

You don’t just stumble upon the authentic you. You are your true authentic self when you have the full awareness that His Spirit abides within. He formed you for His purpose, glory, and will. You are not designed for the likely, you are designed for the impossible. You are called to walk this planet in authenticity, so heaven may be revealed to earth.

Our mindset is so important. If we expand our understanding and see “mindset” as having our mind set and singularly focused on the Lord, the significance becomes clearer. We’re not just natural beings, but spiritual beings, and our mind is the natural gateway for heaven to come to earth. The right mindset keeps us in position to catch the wind of Holy Spirit and live as the access point for heaven...

Events in our world’s culture are designed to demand a response, most often based in worry and doubt. This can cause an emotional rollercoaster, even for us as Believers. So how should we respond? This is our opportunity to prove what’s within us and represent the culture of the Kingdom - the King’s domain, where there is one King and one throne. In this day of breakthrough, the King is beckoning...

Our Father shapes and forms the day, and we each have the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it. Rejoicing is the expression of joy that is already present within each of us, even when we don’t feel it. When we live in the awareness that this joy exists within and understand that it’s not an emotion that has to be pursued, it will provide the endurance we need for what is set before us.

Our Father wants to see us in breakthrough and victory. It doesn’t mean that everything will be easy and trials won’t happen. When those moments come it’s so vital to respond by speaking these words to yourself: “This is the day that the Lord has made.…” Seeing this day, whatever day that is, as the day the Lord made, will raise us up to be exactly where and who we need to be in that moment. And u...

The Lord most often speaks in a still, small voice. If we continually give Him our ear and lean in to hear the whisper of His voice, even in the noise and chaos around us, we can enter into the faith-rest life He has promised.

Breakthrough: What does that mean and what does it look like? It’s important to perceive breakthrough not as an event, but as a process. It is first internal, then external. The right perception will cause a shift within and create the stability and root that needs to go deep in order for us to experience all we are designed to experience.

An “eve” of something is the day or moment of time before a significant event takes place. The word of the Lord to us is that we are on the eve of breakthrough. As Tribe, as a family, we are leaning into this word. We receive it as an intentional promise from Him and have an extreme anticipation of His goodness to come. 

“A thrill of hope” is not just a phrase from a Christmas song. It’s about a supernatural hope that comes from the face to face presence of God, an announcement that Christ lives within us and our life can be filled with nothing but a joy-filled expectation for good.

If we’re honest, sometimes it’s not easy to be thankful in everything. It seems so simple, but even when life is tough, there is great significance in going back to rehearse and give thanks for the breakthroughs and blessings in our lives. If we can perceive it, gratitude is the key that unlocks the gateway to manifesting the goodness of the Lord.

The knowledge of the Lord is embedded in every human heart, and He has made His wonderful attributes easily perceived. (See Romans 1). It is vital to remember that what we perceive is what we think about and what we think about is what we believe, and what we believe, we speak. We are creators, and what we perceive and speak, creates and shapes the world around us.

If we can perceive it, today is a new day. In order for us to move into this new day, we have to be willing to leave tradition, lose sight of the shore and follow Abba into something that is brand new, life-giving and power-filled. Something that will testify to generations to come that we went after the One Thing with our whole hearts and didn’t sell out to tradition, but sold out to The Lord.

There is something within us that hungers for more than what has been defined by church tradition. Holy Spirit is beckoning us to step out of the typical norm and allow ourselves to be reborn again…a reimagining and rebirthing of what we are meant to look like. This is more than a shift, it is saying yes to the call of the Lord to start a movement.

In the Sabbatismos lifestyle, there is a promise of rest that is for us today, every day. This promise is an invitation to keep and celebrate Abba’s rest and show us what is attainable because of the living Christ within. This rest brings a re-wilding, re-changing, re-introduction into the reality of who we were designed to be.
