Martin Reen's podcast

In this episode we are looking at how we have been raised to a new life of sonship together with Christ. Because of this, sin no longer has any power over us. Instead the grace of God rule and reigns in our lives. Jesus has delivered us from sin-conciousness and false guilt, so that we can live a life of freedom and boldness together with the Father in the power of the Holy Spirit.

We continue our teaching called New Creation Therapy. In this episode we explore how the Father has blessed us in Christ, and how we are now holy and perfected in Him. When we get a revelation of this, we are set free from guilt and shamebased identity. The Father has made us totally new in Christ!

It´s finally time for another season on this Podcast, and this season we will focus on a theme that I call "Inner Healing & The New Creation". As we get to know and embrace our new identity in Christ, we find healing, restoration, freedom and the abundant life that Jesus has promised. In the first episode of this series, I lay the foundation by sharing some important truths about our identity, as well as how knowing that we are the Father´s chosen and beloved children brings healing and restoration at the deepest levels of our soul.

In this teaching from 2020 we are studying the life of Barnabas. Barnabas operated in the ministry of encouragement and comfort in a powerful way. This led to him being named Barnabas which means the son of encouragement. He sets a powerful example of how being loved by the Father results in us empowering other people. God is the ultimate encourager, and as we grow in sonship we will also flow more and more in encouragement and comfort. That ministry is needed more than ever today!

We have chosen to do another replay from an earlier season. This teaching was first posted in 2020, but it´s still very relevant right now. God is love, and Christ expressed that love through his life by giving himself for the world. When we encounter the Father´s love we are set free from ourselves so that His love can flow more and more freely through us in a life of humility and vulnerability. True ministry in the kingdom of God is always motivated by self giving love.

Since the fall man has been conditioned to live as orphans, but Jesus came to reveal the Father and bring us back home. We are no longer orphans but our Father´s beloved children. Right now we are on a journey to be restored from our orphan ways to embrace a life as heirs of God

This episode is a replay of one of the most beloved episodes from previous seasons, and it is one of the subjects that I really enjoy teaching. The Kingdom of God belongs to little children, and when Jesus describes greatness in the eyes of God, He calls us to childlikeness. He shows us how we grow up by growing down. Spiritual growth means staying small, letting go of prestige and false ambitions, enjoying a life of childlike wonder with the Father.

By the wounds of Jesus Christ healing has been provided for all of us, and the Father loves to heal and restore broken hearts. God has never been ashamed of us or angry with our brokenness and the messes that we have created in life. We can always come to Jesus with our broken hearts, knowing that He will have compassion with us and bring us through a process of healing and restoration.

Jesus came to set the captives free, which reveals to us that the Father is very passionate for our freedom. When we are established in the grace of God we can step into the glorious of the children of God and be released from all oppression and everything that has held us in bondage. We have been set free to enjoy and live life to the fullest with Jesus! My book, Transformed by the Grace of God, is available both as a book and in digital version.

The christian life is totally impossible to live if we try to do it in our own strenght, but it becomes a life of rest when we allow Christ to live it through us.

The Father has given us the most wonderful treasure ever, all the spiritual blessings of heaven in Christ Jesus. This treasure has been hidden in the earthen vessel that is our ordinary life. Many of us has been a bit surprised that a life in the Father´s love looks so... ordinary. But there is such a glory and rest in realising that the Kingdom is God is hidden, found and released in the midst of our ordinary life!

We are told not to receive the grace of God in vain. The Father keeps showering us with His amazing grace. We just need to keep our hearts open. As we do that our hearts are kept soft and moldable in the hands of Christ. Sin on the other hand hardens our hearts, so either our hearts hardens more and more, or it gets more and more soft and humble before God. That will be the fruit of staying connected to the love and grace of God!

The grace of God and the power of Christ is manifests in weakness. Therefore the Father is not trying to make us strong enough to use us, but weak enough. When we learn to live more and more out of a place of weakness and humility, His grace and strenght will flow through our life.

The grace of God is always manifested the strongest in areas of pain and brokenness. The Father loves to bring healing and restoration to areas of brokenness in our life. No matter how much sin has abounded, His grace always abounds much more!

When we realise that we have been saved, reconciled and justified freely from all our sins we can live a life of freedom from both condemnation and boasting. We have been made the righteousness of God in Christ, and as He is so are we in this world. The gospel is good news!

As believers we have the privilege of ministering to the heart of the Father. First and foremost we are always called to recieve His love and allowing Him to wash our feets. But our relationship with God is never stativ and when we respond to His love, colaboring and stepping into His creativity it delights His heart. He is a relational Father that enjoyed the times of intimacy that He gets with us. It blesses His heart and it is there new assignments is recieved and our life becomes fruitful.

The Father is always loving on us, and there is such a blessing in being available for Him to have His way in our life. Mary is such an example to us in living available. She said: Let it happen to me as you have said. When we learn to live like that, the love of the Father will bring transformation and Christ will be formed within us.

Talking to people many have described this time of living through a pandemic a wilderness experience in many ways. The bible has a lot to say about the wilderness, and both the Father and satan has a purpose for us in the wilderness. It is a time of learning to live as the beloved. If we respond to the love of the Father in such a season we will be strengthened in our sonship and grow strong in spirit.

We sooner or later learn that we can not overcome our brokenness, sin and temptations in our own strenght, but we are delivered as we keep on recieving from the love of the Father that the Holy Spirit pours into our heart. This is living in the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.

In an empire every benefit and all the wealth goes to the center to build up the emperor/leader, but in the Kingdom of God the Father lives by self giving love, joyfully blessing us with the Kingdom and all the promises that comes with it. Ministry is expressed that way, by us letting the generosity, joy and love of the Father flow through us so that the Kingdom can be expanded all over the world.

The love of the Father is our home. Through His love we overcome, And His love is both our foundation and the place where we are rooted and grounded. It is actually what christianity is all about and nothing can separate us from His love.

Love looks like something. The love of the Father transforms our heart attitudes and it will look like the beatitudes. If you look at them thinking that you have to measure up to them you will end up in despair. But once you realize that they will become your heart attitudes as the love of the Father transforms your heart more and more you will find rest in them!

Since the fall of man the world has been one big orphanage. Where does the orphan mentality come from and what is the orphan spirit? I talk about this in this episode and also about how the orphan identity was crucified in Christ. We get healed and restored into sonship by encountering the Fathers love.

When I want to remind myself of how good news the gospel really is I usually goes back to 2 Cor. 3. In this episode I share what I have seen reading that chapter. We live in a greater glory in the ministry of righteousness and life through the Holy Spirit.

Experiencing the love of the Father is a paradigm shift. Just like Joshua and the people of Israel had to walk in ways they had never done before, we also will be led into uncharted territory in our christian life, and many times we are left with the experience that everything has changed, but what do I do now? In this episode I talk about that.

The love of God builds the structure of our new life. When we live in the flow of the Fathers love our life reveals Jesus. You do not have to struggle to get His love. He has already generously lavished it upon you. That love looks like something. Our life will reveal Jesus as His heart touches people through us.

When the Holy Spirit moves in our life we will have dreams and visions because the Holy Spirit loves to reveal the Fathers dreams and plans for us. He does that by impregnating our hearts with dreams and visions. It is really exciting to live out the dreams and visions the Holy Spirit gives!

Jesus lived in the Fathers love and delight for Him and because that was His source of fulfilment He could took the poster of a lowly servant to His disciples and the people He ministered to. As we live out of the Fathers love and delight the ministry of Christ will be expressen through us in the same way. It's a life of beautiful freedom!

When we walk in the love of the Father, that will transform our motives as we embrace our identity as His children. His heart burns with self giving love and that same motivation will also be what gives us the freedom and authority to serve with the gifts and callings that He has given to us.

Religion needs your efforts to work, and to keep God moving. But the gospel sets us free from the burden of self centered spirituality. The Father promises to strenghten us, help us and to renew our life. And Jesus himself refreshes us when we are tired. It is about Him renewing us.

The Father brings us through different times and season in life as His plans with our life unfolds. That´s why it is important to discern what season you are in, so that you can stay connected to what the Father is doing in your life right now, and embracing the process of being transformed by the love of Jesus Christ.

Men look to external appearances to evaluate people, but the Father looks into our hearts. Like David many of His sons and daughters has been counted out by people because their life has been a mess or because they does not seem to live up to the religious standard. Maybe you are one of them. But the good news is that the Father is much more interested in an open heart, because true transformation always starts there. No matter how your life looks right now, when Jesus has your heart, change is possible.

The gifts of the Spirit is all given by grace, but we can either keep flowing and growing in the gifts and anointing we have been given, or let them be quenched. Just like Paul encouraged Timothy, we are encouraged to stir up the gifts of God within us, and as we keep on receiving the Fathers love this will become our lifestyle.

Spiritual gifts is the love languages of the hply Spirit, and the prophetic is one of the ways that the Father reveals His heart to the world. When we live in the Fathers love we also wants to see other people through His heart and that will lead us into a prophetic lifestyle, as the Father reveals His heart through us.

As we grow in the love of the Father and in the revelation of the finished work of Christ we will also grow in our love for the body of Christ. When we see the church through the eyes of the Father we will see the new creation. Jesus loves His church and He wants to share that love with us so that we can manifest His grace and generosity to one another.

The Father blesses us not because we deserves it, but because He is good. When we learn to live our life in the light of His goodness our life will be filled with gratefulness over His love and goodness. There is no place for competition, jealousy and comparison in the Kingdom of God, because everything is given to us by the grace of God. He truly is a really good Father!

Jesus Christ is heavens resounding yes to us. All of Gods promises has been given to us in Christ. We are called to respond to that by saying yes back to Him. Your yes to Gods will is what will manifest the new life that you have in Christ. When we have a yes to God in us and our hearts are available to Him all things are possible.

Jesus har inte bara avskaffat djävulen för all makt och myndighet, utan också tystat varje anklag som frigör oss från skuld och fördömelse. Den Helige Ande ger övertygelse men han anklagar inte. När vi får uppenbarelser om detta ger det oss mycket frihet och det kommer att hjälpa oss att hålla kontakten med Gud i all kärleksfull nåd som stärker oss och bygger oss upp.

Living free from condemnation is one of the greatest gifts of our new life in Christ. It opens up a totally new future for us full of glorious freedom. This is why Jesus said and still is saying: Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.

On the cross Jesus did such a perfect work that He made you perfectly holy and complete forever. When you see that your life will be transformed. You will find rest, courage and true freedom in the reality of the finished work of Christ.

The Father is a heart to heart God. It is in our hearts that we receive revelation and it is also there that the Holy Spirit pours out the Fathers love. Our hearts are protected and transformed when we stay connected with the love of Christ. Therefore, keep your heart open.

You were seen, chosen and loved by the Father already before He made the world. He created you to be you, and He likes you. When You experience His love and delight, deep healing and restoration takes place.

One of the most encouraging aspects of the grace of God is that it manifests in our weaknesses and turns it into places of Gods strength. We don´t have to try to live our life in our own strength, but have been liberated in Christ to live a life where His grace works through us.

Spiritual disciplines like prayer and reading the Bible was meant to help us stay connected to God, but religion sometimes turns it into a yoke of performance. But as we encounter the grace of God and the Fathers heart, it becomes a place of revelation and life. It is truly life changing and wonderful to stay connected to Christ. His presence transforms us. We are meant to be recognized as people who spends time with Jesus!

Pain sometimes teaches us to close our hearts to protect ourselves, and many people have learnt to live that way. But the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are amazing comforters. And when we learn to receive comfort from heaven we can live authentic lives with open hearts, because we never have to go through any season of life alone anymore.

Humility and childlikeness is the Kingdom lifestyle. Nothing attracts revelation like a humble heart and a childlike embrace of this amazing adventure of living loved by the Father.

We have been created to live in the Fathers love and find our home in His presence. As we learn to live in His love we get liberated and restored into being the sons and daughters we where always meant to be.
