Also, Frank just launched a new online discipleship course that’s discounted until October 1st.
The course is called Living by the Indwelling Life of Christ.
I heard all the messages for this course live and I recommend them to all organic churches and individual Christians who want to go deeper in the Lord.
The course is a 10-audio program that comes with a with a practical workbook.
IMPORTANT – This course is designed to only serve as a supplement to help new groups in their spiritual walk. It is not designed to be used as a replacement for the onsite hands-on ministry of an itinerant church planter. If your group is serious about God’s eternal purpose and wants help for a foundation of Christ to be laid in your midst, we recommend that you contact The Rebuilders: admin@therebuilders.org

Seeing As God Sees
Seeing As God Sees
“He, the Spirit of truth… will guide you into all truth.”
JOHN 16:13
To choose the Truth is to want the Truth at all costs, even if it means
sacrificing everything I have believed up until now, challenging all my
paradigms, questioning all my teachers, examining everything I have ever
experienced.
Of course our first decision about Truth is based upon Who Jesus is.
With that question settled many Christians are content, but Truth is
living. Truth will continue to reveal Himself to us and around us for as
long as we will allow it. What, after all, is Wisdom? Wisdom is the
ability to see things from heaven’s, and thus God’s, perspective. Daily
we must choose between ignorant bliss or seeing things as God sees them.
It is a daily choice. You cannot be told, you have to see it for
yourself.

Serving Two Masters?
Serving Two Masters?
“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love
the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.”
MATTHEW 6:24
The context of this passage is talking about mammon (the love of, and
the endless pursuit of, wealth). But the principle applies to everything
else. There can only be one master in your life. You can only serve one
thing at a time. You are not free to do as you please. Even if you say
you serve no one, you are still serving Self. So which will it be? Jesus
says if you love Him then you will hate everything else. What does that
mean?
It means that you will allow nothing and no one to take the place of the
One you love – not for a day, not for an hour, not for a minute. If our
love for the Lord is strong then we will learn to hate everything which
competes against Him. We will despise anything that seeks to hinder our
relationship with Christ.

The Cross: The Tree of Life
The Cross: The Tree of Life
“To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life.”
REVELATION 2:7
Like Adam, we can choose to eat from either tree, but we cannot eat from
both. Adam sinned when he fell into the flesh and yielded to his
Self-life. He rejected the Tree of Life in favor of something that was
“good… pleasant… and desirable” (Genesis 3:6). The Cross does not look
like a Tree of Life at all. It is neither good, nor pleasant, nor
desirable. It looks like death. Perhaps this is why Adam did not eat
from it first.
But God’s End is not death, regardless of appearances: God’s End is Life
out of death, which is resurrection. To eat of the fruit of the Tree of
Life is to glory in the Cross of Jesus Christ and find Life out of
death. It is becoming popular to preach and teach about the Cross these
days, but how many are eating of its fruit? Can we really see the Cross
as the TREE OF LIFE, and are we eating its fruit? We will know a true
disciple of the Lord, not by words, but by fruit, and the Cross is the
Tree of Life from which this fruit comes.

Head of All Principality and Power
Head of All Principality and Powerby Chip Brogden
Some will ask, if Jesus is indeed head of all principality and power,
how is it that the devil and his demons are still able to do so much?
Jesus is Lord of All, but we do not yet see all things submitted to Him.
Jesus is Savior of All, but we do not yet see all people believing in him.
Similarly, Jesus is Head of All Principality and Power, and yet “we do
not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against
spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places” (Eph. 6:12).
What is the explanation?

Nothing Without Him
Nothing Without Him
“Without Me you can do nothing.”
JOHN 15:5
Jesus would explain to His disciples that spiritual life hinges upon
living in active dependence upon Himself. That is the fundamental lesson
to learn because it is the fundamental sin of mankind – the independent
path. Jesus says without Him we can do nothing. Nothing! But it is
human nature to try and do something in ourselves. We call it freedom
and liberty; blazing our own trail; making something happen. But the end
result is death and destruction.
The fall of man illustrates a fundamental truth: that whenever Self is
allowed to rule in the place of Christ, the result is sin, sorrow,
separation and death. Apart from Him we really can do nothing.
