In 1 Chronicles 29:11 David says, “Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O Lord, and this is your kingdom. We adore you as the one who is over all things.” Psalm 24:1 says, “the earth is the Lords, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to Him.” David was praising the Lord in 1 Chronicles in front of all the people as a king with great wealth, who understood that nothing that had been given to him was his own.

This is an important principle in the Kingdom of God; we are only stewards. Firstly, stewardship does not work without gratitude in our hearts for the one who entrusted something to us. Our gratitude is revealed through our praise. Secondly, when we start taking ownership of things that are not our own to use as we see fit, we are being ineffective stewards. What we have been given is not always a measure of our maturity, but how we steward what we have been given is.

Dear Saints,

I invite you to a series at Antioch Center on stages of development on Sunday, We are speaking on being faithful in natural things as the first stage. Following will be Abdullam, a place of testing, Hebron where you are anointed and learn to persevere and Zion our destination and Finish.

There are principles and practices that are foundational and must be in operation. We are called to rule and rein with Him (Jesus) but it is a process from baby to child and on to adult and finally ruling and reigning.

We want to progressively move toward a greater spiritual depth and be people of substance.

The principles we will address will cause us to move or migrate from old seasons to new seasons in God.

We have migrated from sin to Jesus Christ and an old season of death to a new season of Life. We also are migrating from being just church members and pastors, to father and sons in the family of God on earth.

Question: What is the foundational principle that migrates us from inaccuracy to ACCURACY?

Answer: The foundation principle is ‘obedience’ We obey even before we understand. When we embrace ‘obedience’, we are in a place, position, and posture of complete compliance with the present demands from heaven.

Obey God. Obey His Word. Obey the voice of His servant and sent ones, you might say, Obey His grace carriers.

The Old Testament includes many people who failed God through their actions. Abraham lied, Sarah laughed, and Moses and David committed murder—yet God did not define them by those failures. He saw them as He created them to be, knowing right actions would flow from a restored identity. It is easy to look back and focus on our mistakes, but if God is no longer focused on your past, why should you be? You do not discover who you are by dwelling on what you have done; you discover who you are by listening to His word over your life and then acting the part.

When God spoke to Gideon, He called him a “mighty warrior.” Gideon’s past offered no evidence for that name; it came from the intention of the One who created him. When it comes to the past, our focus should be on closing the door and keeping it shut. Everyone who calls on His name is a new creation because He has declared it so. The choice before you now is whether to live from His perspective or continue acting from one that no longer applies.

Luke 19 recounts the story of Zacchaeus, a wealthy tax collector who was despised by the Jewish people. Because he was short in stature, he climbed a tree so he could see Jesus as He passed by. When Jesus noticed him, He invited Himself to Zacchaeus’s house for dinner. What happened next is significant:

8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.”

There is no indication that Jesus directly confronted Zacchaeus about his sin, aside from the crowd’s complaint that Jesus was eating with a “sinner.” There is no recorded sinner’s prayer and no evidence of a shame-filled emotional breakdown. Instead, Zacchaeus, in the "here and now", made a clear decision to live differently because he had been in the presence of Jesus. Jesus’ presence in his home was enough for Zacchaeus to recognize his own problems and take responsibility for it.

True repentance becomes evident when a person fully owns the changes necessary for lasting transformation. As Zacchaeus’s life demonstrates, repentance does not have to be emotional, but it does require a plan. I have noticed one of the greatest fruits of repentance is a peace that you are no longer playing the victim; but have taken personal ownership of the problem and are moving towards the necessary changes by His all sufficient grace.

It is amazing how many leaders talk about how bad it is and how much worse it is going to get. You never hear them talk about victory for believers.

I have come to realize that victory for believers is new to many Christians because defeat is all they have been taught. The Church just kinda ‘holds on’.

They lose more and more to the devil and finally in desperation, they have to be yanked out of the world in order for God to save even a ‘remnant’.

They call this the ‘rapture’, but I think it is more like a ‘rupture’. It is like ‘saving face’ instead of ‘saving grace.

I find it crazy that the God who never lost a battle will according to them will lose the war.

We are His army and we have ‘marching orders’ from the Holy Spirit.

David was anointed to be king over Israel and he enquired of the Lord on what to do. Read this.

2 Samuel 5:22-25 New American Standard Bible
22 Now the Philistines came up once again and overran the Valley of Rephaim. 23 So David inquired of the Lord, but He said, “You shall not go directly up; circle around behind them and come at them in front of the baka-shrubs. 24 And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the baka-shrubs, then you shall act promptly, for then the Lord will have gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.” 25 Then David did so, just as the Lord had commanded him; he struck and killed the Philistines from Geba as far as Gezer.

David was instructed to listen for the sound of God’s army (angels) marching and then and only then was he to wage war.

In order to hear what was happening in the spirit realm, it was necessary that his spirit be tuned to the dimension of God’s Spirit.

It is funny if you go into the hospital and a psychiatrist sees you, they ask, “Do you hear voices”?

If you do, they want to examine you further. Yes, I hear voices. My own, yours, God’s and sometimes demonic voices.

Jesus said, My sheep hear my voice and the voice of a stranger they will not follow.

John 10:27 New American Standard Bible My sheep listen to My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;

Some may accuse me of heresy by teaching people is it possible to hear the voice of God.

If you listen, you may just hear a voice crying in the wilderness…”prepare ye the way of the Lord.”

Scripture tells us that God is revealed through His creation (Romans 1:20). Last summer, while studying the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly, I was struck by the process. As a caterpillar nears transformation, it eats until it can barely move. Then, it attaches itself to a surface and forms a chrysalis—a hard shell around its body. Inside, the caterpillar’s body breaks down into a soft, formless substance. Yet within that seeming breakdown, imaginal cells—carrying the blueprint for something entirely new—begin building a new structure. The caterpillar’s immune system resists the change and tries to destroy these cells, but they persist. Eventually, they connect, share information, and begin working together, a process I seen described in one article as "resonating together on the same frequency", until a new creation emerges: the butterfly. If the cells cannot work together, or “resonate” as one, then the process would break down and the caterpillar would die unchanged, not ever transforming into what it was destined to become. Like I said, God is seen in His creation and nature can preach a pretty effective sermon on its own.

Dear Saints,

It is into this complex and changing society that God is speaking. The church of Jesus Christ may appear ill-fitted for such an hour. Certainly many Christians seem more willing than respond to present-day revelation.

There are many more who, amid the changes and challenges of
this generation, are crying afresh with the prophet of old, 'Speak, Lord your servant is listening'.

Nothing is more exciting than the realization that the unchanging God has a plan of restoration destined to succeed despite all the shifting sands of time.

We know that, before the return of Christ, all the promises and
prophecies of God will find their fulfillment in a generation of those who love his name.

'He must remain in heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets' (Acts 3:21).

Jesus knew that the law and the prophets had all been speaking of Him. The apostles, too, realized that Old Testament prophecy was being dramatically worked out in their generation.

Peter saw, in the outpouring of the Spirit at Pentecost, the prophecies of Joel finding initial fulfillment (Acts 2:16).

James recognized in the coming in of the Gentiles an indication that prophecy was being fulfilled concerning the rebuilding of the Tabernacle of David (Acts 15:13-16).

This unfolding revelation to the early apostles provided the kind of prophetic thrust to the early church that Zechariah, Haggai and others had provided for the rebuilding of Jerusalem hundreds of years before.

There is a sense of prophetic fullness in our generation, too. What is happening in Africa, Latin America, South East Asia and Europe represents a wind of change in the church.

There is a quickening of expectancy. The church is poised for a new surge forward to greater growth than ever. Thousands upon thousands are to enter the kingdom of God.

Significantly, at the same time, fundamental questions concerning the nature of the church and its ministries are being asked. Certainly the existing religious structures are proving inadequate for our time, restricted as they often are by non biblical forms and traditions and as well a lot of questionable theology.

God's way is still Holy Spirit anointed men and women. In particular, the key to the progress of the church today lies in a re-emergence of apostolic companies, close knit groups of gifted ministries who will reap a harvest and establish the community of God as churches across the world unite together.

Such expansion will not be achieved through one or two individuals but through the joining together of many individuals for the advance of the gospel ‘Apostolic ministry is not a flash of brilliant individualism but rather team work'.

The primary ministries, around which the others gathered in New
Testament times, were the apostles and prophets. The recent years have seen a rapid acceleration in God’s program of restoration of the church, with great movements of the Holy Spirit around the world restoring much truth that has been lost, and not least our understanding of apostles and apostolic teams in relation to the building of the church.

Again, the key to the progress of the church today lies in a re-emergence of apostolic companies, close knit groups of gifted ministries who will reap a harvest and establish the community of God as churches across the world.”

Jesus tells us in scripture to “come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” He spoke to this to a people who were under a heavy burden created by the religious leaders of that day. We all want rest, there is all kind of things trying to put extra weight on you in the course of any given day that can make us feel like we are failing in our spiritual walk, but the choice is always before us. We either come to Him, or we toil in our own strength. This is the difference between religion and life in the Spirit.

Sometimes coming to Him means hitting the pause button long enough for the internal issues we are dealing with to be sorted out. Rest is just a reminder of who we are in Him, and that He overcame. Jeremiah 6:16 tells us, “ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.” Notice there is an asking, and a then you will find…come to me…and I will give. There is also a choice, to walk with Him or to not walk with Him. We are only governed by His peace to the extent that we want to be.

Jesus told us that you cannot pour new wine into an old wineskin. I have heard countless teachings on this but to me it is very simple.

The new wine tells us we are worthy; the old wineskin thinks worthiness still has to be proven through works.

The new wine tells us we are righteous; the old wineskin tells us we need to become righteous through our own effort.

The new wine tells us we have been given new hearts; the old wineskin tells us our hearts are still deceitfully wicked.

The new wine tells us we share in His divine nature; the old wineskin tells us that we still have a sinful nature.

There is nothing wrong with the wine, but it requires a new creation wineskin which is the renewed mind. When He said, "It is finished", He meant it! We can rest in HIs finished work and receive.
