Since 2017, one thing (among many) that God has been doing is “exposing” - works of darkness and things that are out of order have been brought into the light. That is intensifying in this season. Globally, we need to be on the side of truth, and praying that every hidden thing would be brought into the light. Personally, 2020 has had the effect of exposing the true condition of our heart - especially in relation to our prophetic destiny. 2 Chronicles 20:20 has been, and is, a defining Scripture for 2020.

The Father is taking us on a journey of helping us grow up - particularly in the realm of maturing love. We know from 1 John 4:18 that the RESULT of mature love is that it chases away fear. But what is the NATURE of mature love? In part 2 of this message, Tim makes some more comparisons between immature and mature love, and then minister’s into a fresh revelation of the love of the Father - a fresh awakening of first love.

We’ve all been raised by imperfect love, so it’s no wonder that at times we fear.,, but, it’s important we don’t stay there. The Father is taking us on a journey of helping us grow up - particularly in the realm of maturing love. We know from 1 John 4:18 that the RESULT of mature love is that it chases away fear. But what is the NATURE of mature love? Tim makes 3 comparisons between immature and mature love and then prays for us that God would lead us to a massive love upgrade so that we can be a Kingdom family that shows the world what love really is.

The word “established” is standing out prophetically right now. There’s a number of different “establishings” that scripture talks about. Today, Tim focuses on “being established in love”. Once we are established, God has ordered the body with apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, and evangelists, with the purpose that we may then mature - grow up. We all need spiritual mothers and fathers in our life for us to properly mature. It’s the tribe of Kingdom people that have secure love on the inside which manifests in mature love on the outside - to those around us. It’s that kind of love that will heal a community, a city, a nation.

How do we create a culture where we make it easier for everyone to strengthen themselves in the Lord? We all have an individual responsibility for our own heart, and, how we are when we are TOGETHER either helps or hinders that. Tim follows on from Deb’s message, showing us how to create a culture that means we are a refreshing oasis to each other, and ultimately to the world around us.

We’ve been talking about this next season being one where the body of Christ is a place of refreshing to the world. It’s not possible for us to do that if we are feeling horrible and depleted. The solution - we need to learning how to strengthen ourselves in the Lord, from the inside out, so that what flows out of us is life-giving. Debbie speaks of the shift that is needed - getting our soul adequately discipled, and getting our spirit to lead. Deb will be running a “Strengthen Yourself In The Lord Bootcamp” in the coming weeks. Have a listen and get in touch with us if you want to join in.

Tim follows up from last week, digging into Isaiah 60 as a key strategic prophetic word for this season. God is releasing fragments of revelation around our identity and our assignment to enable and empower our rising. He’s breathing in fresh passion, awakening our first love - getting us into a place of deep refreshment - so that we are positioned and ready to rise into the fullness of the glory of God in and through us.

Isaiah 60 tells us that when the earth is covered with darkness and deep darkness is over the people, that’s the time when God’s glory comes and causes His people to rise. The key here is it’s YOUR RISING - not God’s, but YOURS. Tim unpacks this “reset” season, bringing a prophetic perspective and promise so that we are perfectly positioned to do our part in seeing the world covered with His glory.

In another epic tag-team, Debbie & Megan explore the power of the confession of our mouth. What we say has power and authority. What we say is fruit of what is happening in our heart, so rather than put tape over our mouth so we don’t “say the wrong thing” we need to let the Spirit touch and heal our heart so that our confession is naturally in agreement with His voice. When our confession is in alignment with heaven, we produce heaven’s atmosphere around us.

Deb Ferris & Megan Edward powerfully tag-team to bring this word about humility - going low. Humility is often misunderstood as being a door mat, or being in poverty. In fact, humility is a Kingdom secret weapon that the enemy has no answer for.
