Kris speaks about the importance of not only physical healing but healing for the mind, body and soul. We are 3 part beings and each part is vital to our wholeness. The church has taught for too long that the soul is evil, to be ignored, and unimportant. Through scripture Kris shows us that the spirit, soul, and body are a vital part of our being.
What you feed your heart on, not only affects your attitude but also your expectation for life. If I feed myself on what God hasn't done, it creates a place for offense and unbelief.
The promises of the Lord reveal His heart. The Lord has given us a process of co-laboring by which if we pray, He intervenes. The Scriptures about the last days warnings are not a promise from God, but a description of the world you are assigned to affect and change.
Everything God warns about, He gives instruction of how to overcome. Will you stand on behalf of people who don't deserve grace just as you didn't deserve grace?
The curse was over man AND creation. The curse caused creation to produce thorns and thistles. Jesus's command was to preach the Gospel to all of creation. The earth is groaning to be released from corruption into the fullness of glory. God is not destroying the earth, but releasing it into full glory. The goal isn't for you to go to heaven, but for heaven to come to earth.
Core values for the study of Eschatology:
- I will not empower a dis-empowered devil
- I will have a hope for the future and a desire to leave an inheritance to my children.
- I have a theology which embraces making disciples of all nations
- I have a theology which brings heaven to earth.
- I have hope for the nations and a value for the restoration of destroyed cities.
- I believe in the unchanging nature of a good God.
- I will not celebrate bad news as a sign of the times and a necessary requirement of the return of Jesus.
- The promises of God cannot be placed in a time-zone. I have a responsibility to to pursue those promiss for my life-time.
- The last days are not a time of the church calling for judgment. The church doesn't judge, only God does.
We are moving out of slavery and have received the spirit of adoption and sonship. One of the symptoms of moving into is sonship is that we are no longer afraid. Fear is a great motivator among slaves, but passion is a greater motivator. Passion and love is what motivates a son.
Larry shares how, in spite of the conspiracies of man, the conspiracy of the kindness of God trumps all of them. In spite of trouble, the love of the Father redeems and gives hope. You are a dream that was in His heart and every person has the fingerprint of God on them. We either live in a house of mirrors or a house of windows. A house of mirrors tell us what we are not or should be. A house of windows show us our destiny and what we are called to be. We need to live in the reality that we are made in the image of God. If you aren't you, you will rob history of a piece of God that can never again be reflected. Romans 8:29-31
