In this message, Mike discusses some of the contradictions in what is taught in church about salvation, atonement and heaven and hell.

The real gospel is not the fear of torture forever. It is that sin and death has been conquered. His all consuming love never ends and never fails. 

Eternal life is knowing the truth about His love and union with you. Hell is the opposite of that. When you believe the lie, you live in fear and hell. 

His lake of fire, purifying love, ultimately consumes hell and death. 

The gates of hell have not prevailed. Jesus has the keys and has flung the gates wide open. Is it possible that someone could reject perfect love? My hope is the same as Jesus and our loving Father. I hope none shall perish. 

Do I believe in Hell? Yes!

What was the result of eating from the wrong tree?

What was the last enemy that was destroyed?

Is that enemy finally conquered?

Who is the consuming fire? Scripture says that He is the consuming fire and all of us will be salted with fire.   

Whatever your concept of hell is, it is in the presence of His all consuming love that never fails. 

I believe in Hell. But scripture says His lake of fire ultimately consumes hell and death. 

I believe Hell is for purification, not eternal damnation with no hope for escape. Is it possible someone could reject perfect love, in theory yes, but my hope is no. 

Faith is simply trust. Not in our faith, but the character of Jesus. 

Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. 24 Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them. 

The real question is not whether I have enough faith to be healed, but is The Father someone I can trust. 

Saturating peoples hearts and minds with the unconditional love of the Father will do more to create a healing environment than anything else we do. 

Getting Started – there is no right or wrong way:

Faith is not a level to achieve by prayer and fasting…It is a gift of the Spirit. 

The real question is not whether I have enough faith to be healed, but is The Father someone I can trust. 

People need to know that Jesus has completely forgiven them and all He desires to do is love and comfort them. 

Saturating peoples hearts and minds with the unconditional love of the Father will do more to create a healing environment than anything else we do. 

Getting Started – there is no right or wrong way:

When you take the time to see and hear Jesus – it supernaturally produces results that trying harder, legalism or religious works could never produce. 

You are changed from the inside out. It is not out of willpower but out of the human heart. 

When you look at the face of Jesus:

You become more and more like Him effortlessly – it supernaturally produces results that trying harder, legalism, religious works can never do 

Hearts and wrong beliefs are healed, physical healings and emotional healings take place, begin to change from the inside out - “from glory to glory”

Jeremiah 33:3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’

Everyone can see and hear God for themselves. It is a covenant.

You do not need to pray/fast and twist God’s arm for Him to speak. His dream is for us to be in a relationship with Him. 

The Apostles and early church fathers taught union with God. It wasn’t until around 400AD that Augustine and others started to teach God is separated from man. (Greek Philosophy)

Around 1000 AD Anselm and Calvin taught penal substitution and limited atonement. The focus was no longer on victory over sin and death. The focus was on an angry God that had to pour out His wrath on Christ because sin had to be punished.  

God is love and the ultimate expression of His love is the conquering of sin and death!

He is for you, and will never be against you! 

When the goodness of God is proclaimed, your heart can begin to heal and receive His love, joy, healing, blessing, favor, health….He wants His goodness “all in all”.

Every religion in the world has “god” separated from man, and man must appease this angry “god”.

It creates religious activities to get closer to “god” – we always come short and it continues to harden our hearts so we don’t enjoy an intimate relationship with a loving Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  

Instead of fear, insecurity and rejection, let His love for you heal your heart and experience life, joy, confidence…

Your behavior never separated you from His love or blessings – You can always expect the very best. He will always restore, bless and never, ever, ever leave you nor reject you.
