Getting Started…

Righteousness Basics

For those who believe in Jesus, you are not a sinner anymore! You do not have as sinful nature. You are as right as God Himself is! And that, not by your work, but through Jesus’ work!

Just Like Jesus

We are not becoming more like Jesus as believers. We are as much like Jesus NOW as we will ever be. We can only grow in our knowledge, and manifest, how much like Jesus we already are, through the cross!

ABC’s Of Receiving From God

Most Christians believe there are different ways to receive from God. This simply isn’t true. We receive from God day-to-day the same way that we first received salvation. Jesus provided it. We believe what He did. We receive.

Faith And Continuance

Learning Jesus for a little while is not enough… you have to keep going! No one has ever been saved or received anything from God by hearing the good news once! There is a growth process before the fruit comes!

Receiving For Free

There is no work of ours that causes God’s blessings to flow. No “act of faith” and no good work is needed before receiving… just faith in Jesus. Receive freely because Jesus paid it all!

The Sovereignty Of God

God being sovereign just means that God is in full authority, but the notion that God controls everything is completely wrong. God’s will is done perfectly in heaven, but NOT on earth. If we want God’s will to come to pass on earth, that is dependent on our understanding of Jesus.

Walking In Your Newness

Since we are already like Jesus, we don’t need to be cleansed, empowered, or saved any further. By the renewal of our minds, we just need to walk in the newness we already have!

The Obedience Of Faith

What are God’s commandments? Did you think of the Ten Commandments? Well then you haven’t heard that in this NEW covenant, there is a NEW law. It’s called the obedience of faith.

Rest From Our Works

We believe that good deeds are a necessary part of a believer’s life. We just believe that in the New Covenant, we aren’t the ones that do the good deeds — the Holy Spirit does through us — which has given us rest.

Suffering: It’s Not From God

God is blamed for all types of suffering in the world. If only people realized that Jesus came to suffer FOR them, not to inflict suffering ON them.

Salvation

Most teach that Jesus came to primarily save us from hell. While we are saved from hell, the truth is, Jesus came to primarily save us from the earth!

The Love Of God

God’s love is not demonstrated in physical things like family, friends, or creation itself. God’s love was demonstrated one time, and one time only. And that was when Jesus provided the fullness of His Spirit to us at the cross.

Judgment

The judgment of the world has already occurred at the cross. There is no more wrath from God against people’s sins forever. Last Day Judgment is the judgment of the Devil and his angels’, which unbelievers will inherit apart from Jesus.

Giving And Tithing

Our giving and tithing is not a means of blessing from God at all. Receiving from God only comes through faith in Jesus. Tithing is actually a shadow of new covenant truths!

The Baptism Of The Holy Spirit

Baptism in the Bible means purification/washing. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is not a second occurrence to salvation, but in fact IS salvation. Water baptism is a symbol of this.

Eternal Life

Eternal life has nothing to do with an afterlife and it is not something reserved for heaven some time in the future. Eternal life is power that Jesus puts IN a person when they believe. And as they grow in knowledge, this life can be given to their physical, mortal bodies.

The Revealing

We do not believe that we will receive anything when Jesus comes back again. There will only be a “revealing” of all that we already have in Christ, for those who have not manifested it fully yet.

The New World

All of creation will be made completely new when Jesus comes back, but we ourselves have access to all of the power of that age to come, now. In fact, it is in us.

Cleansed Once For All

When we first receive Jesus, we are forgiven and cleansed once for all time. There is no need to repeatedly confess your sins or ask for forgiveness every again. Jesus died for sins forever!

Following Jesus

In John 10, the sheep following Jesus is not referring to us taking direction from Jesus for our life. Following Jesus is actually referring to us following Him into the same power that He received in His resurrection! Don’t believe us? Listen to this topic!

The Trinity

We believe in the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, but what the Bible teaches about them is very different than you’ve been taught before.

Prayer

Prayer is not how we receive from God. Knowledge of Jesus is the only way to receive from God. Prayer is actually meant to help your faith, which in turn, helps your receiving.

Vengeance

God is not judging anyone for their sins anymore, but there is a godly, New Covenant vengeance that God takes to defend and protect those who believe on Him.

Communion (The Lord’s Supper)

Communion is supposed to be a meal to celebrate Jesus’ death — the elements of which (bread and wine) are symbolic and have no significance in themselves.

Wealth

Physical wealth is not a part of the atonement, because Jesus did not provide us with anything corruptible. But the POWER to physical wealth IS part of the atonement!

The Mystery Revealed

To the born-again believer, there no more “mystery of God.” Nothing is hidden, no knowledge is off limits. Everything God knows, we have the right to know through Jesus.

The Bible

Scripture is inspired by God for our instruction, but God speaks to us the same way that He spoke to the men who wrote the Bible — by the Holy Spirit.

Fasting

Is fasting a way to bring your flesh into submission and focus solely on God? No it is not. Fasting has a deeper, more Christ-centered meaning.
