The goal of the Bible is to take you into an encounter with the Author. God is complex and as believers we need to learn that there are aspects of our Creator that we don't understand at this time. To comfort ourselves, we create intellectual theories to questions which God has not yet revealed. This causes us to stop searching with God. Doctrine is created when you try to discover mysteries through your own intellect. We have been given the Spirit of God, who knows the thoughts of God. As we dive into the word with the Spirit, revelation will overflow, and we will encounter the Author of all. 1 Corinthians 2:2-16 "The Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God..."

Kris continues his teaching series "The Truth About the Truth". We need to ask ourselves where we get our virtues come from. If you don't live by the Bible, you are still choosing to live by something. The Bible is intentionally written in a paradox so that you can't have a relationship with God that is absent from the Holy Spirit. The Spirit leads us into all truth. All of the Bible is in God, but not all of God is in the Bible. The Bible needs to be interpreted correctly through an allegory, parable, metaphor, riddle, simile or a proverb- all of these need to be guided by the Holy Spirit so we move from knowledge to revelation.

The tension in Scripture is an invitation to receive revelation. This causes Christians to seek relationship with God instead of having a relationship based on rules. Relationship is the foundation of how to comprehend revelation and relieve tension.
The greatest revelations come over time and with process. We need to value our inheritance in the same measure as those who gave their lives to give it.

When the mind is set on carnal things, we are not open to Holy Spirit revelation.
Jesus explained that to follow Him, you must be willing to take up your cross and
die. The only way we get a resurrection is through a cross. Jesus illustrates that the mind of Christ works differently.

Kris Vallotton shares some of his personal revelations, as well as insights into the delicate balance and partnership of Faith, and the actions that result.

===== Bill is talking to the school of ministry in a teaching session. Talking about how to receive an impartation of grace that is on others.

Bill discusses the principles about finishing well in your life. There are prophetic lessons in the Bible that show us how God works and to summon us into a generation of reformers. Israel was acquainted with the acts of God, but Moses was acquainted with His ways. When you have a revelation of His ways, you have an invitation to an encounter with Him. When you know His acts you are aware of WHAT he does, but when you know His ways you can delight in WHO He is and step into deeper levels of intimacy.

Joaquin shares healing testimonies that have happened in the Healing Rooms.
God never contradicts His Word, but He happily contradicts our understanding of it. You are asking for the kingdom, but if you have to filter it through your brain, you reduce God to be no bigger than you. Our questions do not have the right to undermine the revelations that God is showing us. Revelation has power, questions do not. Our questions should take us into greater revelation of who He is, not limit who He is. If I require understanding before I obey, I have limited God.

Bill shares on the three mindsets: kingdom, political and religious. It's time for the body of Christ to turn into an adoption agency, and adopt those that no one else wants. We don't get to choose the condition of people who ask for our help. Bill provided an update on Todd Bentley in the process of choosing mercy over judgment. Judgment is not part of the message of grace and criticism can be misdirected intercession.
Revelation 4:1 - shows that the door is always open on God's side. The closed door in question is the one that we may have. The veil has been torn and what God has opened can't be closed again. His door is open, we need to make sure our door is open too. We're taking our door off the hinges!

Martin Scott has a strong prophetic voice and shares his thoughts about the current economic conditions. The church needs to make a covenant with the nation so that it has the power to manifest change within the nation. Everything we do today is to be modeled on the age that is to come.
