Debbie speaks into the three key prophetic themes she is hearing for 2021, then leads us into a time of connection with The Father’s voice to hear His heart for us.
What Are You Building?
In our first in-person gathering in nearly 10 months, Tim kicks off 2021 with the core question of “What is your life building toward? Are you just living, or are you BUILDING?” This is the year to do whatever needs to be done, and deal with whatever needs to be dealt with, so that we can be intentional and active in building His Kingdom in line with our Kingdom assignment.
The Exposing
Since 2017, one thing (among many) that God has been doing is “exposing” - works of darkness and things that are out of order have been brought into the light. That is intensifying in this season. Globally, we need to be on the side of truth, and praying that every hidden thing would be brought into the light. Personally, 2020 has had the effect of exposing the true condition of our heart - especially in relation to our prophetic destiny. 2 Chronicles 20:20 has been, and is, a defining Scripture for 2020.
The Nature of Mature Love - Part 2
The Father is taking us on a journey of helping us grow up - particularly in the realm of maturing love. We know from 1 John 4:18 that the RESULT of mature love is that it chases away fear. But what is the NATURE of mature love? In part 2 of this message, Tim makes some more comparisons between immature and mature love, and then minister’s into a fresh revelation of the love of the Father - a fresh awakening of first love.
The Nature of Mature Love - Part 1
We’ve all been raised by imperfect love, so it’s no wonder that at times we fear, but, it’s important we don’t stay there. The Father is taking us on a journey of helping us grow up - particularly in the realm of maturing love. We know from 1 John 4:18 that the RESULT of mature love is that it chases away fear. But what is the NATURE of mature love? Tim makes 3 comparisons between immature and mature love and then prays for us that God would lead us to a massive love upgrade so that we can be a Kingdom family that shows the world what love really is.
Getting Established - Getting Mature
The word “established” is standing out prophetically right now. There’s a number of different “establishings” that scripture talks about. Today, Tim focuses on “being established in love”. Once we are established, God has ordered the body with apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, and evangelists, with the purpose that we may then mature - grow up. We all need spiritual mothers and fathers in our life for us to properly mature. It’s the tribe of Kingdom people that have secure love on the inside which manifests in mature love on the outside - to those around us. It’s that kind of love that will heal a community, a city, a nation.
Creating A Culture Of Refreshing
How do we create a culture where we make it easier for everyone to strengthen themselves in the Lord? We all have an individual responsibility for our own heart, and, how we are when we are TOGETHER either helps or hinders that. Tim follows on from Deb’s message, showing us how to create a culture that means we are a refreshing oasis to each other, and ultimately to the world around us.
Getting Strong From The Inside Out
We’ve been talking about this next season being one where the body of Christ is a place of refreshing to the world. It’s not possible for us to do that if we are feeling horrible and depleted. The solution - we need to learning how to strengthen ourselves in the Lord, from the inside out, so that what flows out of us is life-giving. Debbie speaks of the shift that is needed - getting our soul adequately discipled, and getting our spirit to lead. Deb will be running a “Strengthen Yourself In The Lord Bootcamp” in the coming weeks. Have a listen and get in touch with us if you want to join in.
Your Rising - Part 2
Tim follows up from last week, digging into Isaiah 60 as a key strategic prophetic word for this season. God is releasing fragments of revelation around our identity and our assignment to enable and empower our rising. He’s breathing in fresh passion, awakening our first love - getting us into a place of deep refreshment - so that we are positioned and ready to rise into the fullness of the glory of God in and through us.
Your Rising - Part 1
Isaiah 60 tells us that when the earth is covered with darkness and deep darkness is over the people, that’s the time when God’s glory comes and causes His people to rise. The key here is it’s YOUR RISING - not God’s, but YOURS. Tim unpacks this “reset” season, bringing a prophetic perspective and promise so that we are perfectly positioned to do our part in seeing the world covered with His glory.
You Can Have What You Say
In another epic tag-team, Debbie & Megan explore the power of the confession of our mouth. What we say has power and authority. What we say is fruit of what is happening in our heart, so rather than put tape over our mouth so we don’t “say the wrong thing” we need to let the Spirit touch and heal our heart so that our confession is naturally in agreement with His voice. When our confession is in alignment with heaven, we produce heaven’s atmosphere around us.
Going Low
Deb Ferris & Megan Edward powerfully tag-team to bring this word about humility - going low. Humility is often misunderstood as being a door mat, or being in poverty. In fact, humility is a Kingdom secret weapon that the enemy has no answer for.
Managing Your State - Anchoring In The Scriptures
When chaos and craziness abound, our biggest unfair advantage is that we have the voice of God. One of the biggest disciplines/skills we need is the ability to quiet our soul to the point where we can hear the voice of God above all the other voices that are shouting at us right now. There’s lots of ways God speaks. In this message Tim focusses on hearing the voice of God through scripture, and the power of scripture to anchor us so we can thrive in any circumstance.
Restoring The Soul - The Unconditional Love Anchor
In crazy and chaotic times, it’s so important to know how to get your soul restored. Tim leads us through an experiential exercise to help you get anchored to the unconditional love of God and have Him restore our souls.
The Normal Christian Life Chat
Tim & Deb Ferris do a live and interactive chat around all we’ve been digging into over the past few weeks on “the normal Christian life”, including testimonies, live questions, and a visit from the legendary Steve Frost.
The Baptism In The Holy Spirit 2 - Stir Up The Fire
In part two of this series, Tim continues looking at the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and reminds us that one of our most important roles in this Kingdom family is to tend to the fire of the Holy Spirit in our midst and keep that fire burning bright.
The Baptism In The Holy Spirit - The Entry To The Normal Christian Life
It is critical in this season for the people of God to be positioned according to their design and calling so that we are bringing the Kingdom into every sphere of society. We will never disciple a nation without that. But, before we take our place, we MUST experience the baptism in the holy spirit that John The Baptist and Jesus spoke of. Tim introduces the foundations of this experience and the transformation it brings.
The Ekklesia and The Normal Christian Life
The world is more than a little crazy right now, and more than ever, the church needs to rise up and be the Ekklesia that Jesus spoke of and said He would build. Tim looks at two areas that are foundational to us rising into all that we are destined to be, and to become the disciplers of nations the Jesus intended.
The World's On Fire - What's God Doing?
The world seems to have gone crazy. With so much happening in the world it’s easy to be distracted. It’s critical to look below the surface and understand what is really going on from a Kingdom perspective, so we can pray and cooperate with God’s agenda in the earth. Right now, the battle is over nations, the warfare is economic, and the stakes are higher than ever. The “reset” for the church is less about the “program” when we meet and more about the shift to being the “Ekklesia” that Jesus spoke of and said He would build.
(Note: The broadcast dropped out near the end, and we scrambled and got back online. This is both parts - the whole message. Apologies for the technical issues!)
Pentecost - Dry Bones Come Alive
On Pentecost Sunday, Tim Ferris and Megan Edward tag-team prophetic words and prophetic context for this season. The valley of dry bones was awakened into a mighty army by the breath or wind of God. Pentecost released that same breath/wind that ushered the church into an entirely new and unprecedented day. We’re in unprecedented times, and God is moving in extraordinary ways - shifting us into a new season.
