In Christ you are over your death
What really happened to the human race through the resurrection of Jesus Christ? How is Jesus now the Last Adam? Why are all angels present at the resurrection sitting?
The Heart that Opens
You can’t make yourself believe. You can’t persuade you own heart. You can’t produce faith. It comes by the God-given revelation of His love: the gospel of His love (not yours).”
In Christ- The Life fully present
God is always present with us, but we are not always present with Him.
Finding the presence of God, in the presence of His people.
The new creation in Christ is a body. Finding the grace of God empowering divine relationships

Believing in his name
If the god you worship is not content, neither will you ever be.
Beginning in grace
Unless we begin with the Father qualifying us through Christ, we have no beginning at all!
The Fathered Life; a light in the darkness.
The light does not stand back from the darkness. The light shines IN the darkness.
Beholding Christ; the power to be whom God declares you to be.
The Gospel is not 'Behave' but 'Behold!' for to see how much has been given to you in Christ is to see what God sees. It is to see what God believes. It is to see the One faith, the only faith; the faith of God and to find that faith in you.
Awakening by the light of the Gospel to a New creation
What greater awakening can come to the Church, than for us to awaken again to the reality that the Cross was not a failure, that Jesus’ death and resurrection changed everything and that old things, like our life ruled by sin and death, have passed away and all things, like our lives before God have become new.
Heaven Couldn't Wait. The God who abides with us.
God is so big that unless God reveals Himself, we cannot know Him and unless He gives Himself to us, we cannot receive Him. Christmas is when we celebrate that He did both; He caused us to know Him by giving Himself to us, first by His Son and then by His Spirit.
A Life that transcends death: Living in the eternal present of God.
In heaven the Kingdom is not a future hope but a present reality. And so to be filled with the Spirit of God, is to find yourself living/being in that eternally present Kingdom. It is by men and women living in the Spirit, seeing by the Spirit, speaking by the Spirit, that His Kingdom comes on earth as it is in heaven.
Now it springs up, do you not perceive it?
In every generation of the Church, when God’s people start to see as God sees; the abundance of His presence with them, they rise to be proclaimers of His praise and trumpeters of His Kingdom.
The Life of Being with Him.
it was never the gospel; that God wanted us to live as if real life started sometime in the future, in a place called heaven and that this life was simply a waiting room until you discover whether you have done enough to get your name on the roll. He never wanted us to live a life becoming with Him, but a life being with Him.Eternal life is not getting to heaven one day. Eternal life is knowing the God who is with you today
Raised With Christ, from becoming to Being.
The spirit of the world can only say “Could be” The Spirit that comes from God says “IS”. To live filled with “the spirit of this world”, is to live trying to be a Christian. To live filled with the Spirit that comes from God, is to live being a child of God, for the Spirit persuades our spirits that we are the children of God.

Married to a life raised from the dead
“You cannot thrive in your marriage if you keep going out at weekends acting as if you are single. What would you say to a friend who got married recently but has decided that every weekend he is still going to go out on the town with all his single mates and do everything they do? That is what the Holy Spirit is saying to the Church, the New Creation. How can you reveal the new creation life, the married to God life to this generation, when every weekend you get together in church with people who speak to you as if you are single? “
