In the third and final week in this series, Tim unpacks what the gospel of the Kingdom is, and how it is different to the message many of us are used to. And, it is more than just a message. It comes with an experience of the Kingdom and the King. It comes with power.

To truly carry the Kingdom message, we must understand that at John The Baptist the message changed. Tim builds on last week, unpacking what was preached in the book of Acts and how that impacts our destiny, our role in being light to the world, and what others experience of us when we have God in our life.

A true Kingdom paradigm is critical foundation to us living the fullness of our destiny. Many of us have been raised in a paradigm that keeps us small and locked inside the four walls of the church. The Kingdom paradigm releases us from religious chains and frees us to impact the world through the authenticity of who God has made us to be and to carry.

If we are going to occupy a greater space in the spirit realm, then we need an upgrade in the way that we think about ourselves. Low self-worth wars against the full manifestation of your destiny. Many of us who have been in church a long time have been discipled in smallness - religious misconceptions that undermine our true identity in Christ. Tim looks at lies in 2 key areas - our worth and our nature - and invites us to see the glory that is really on us as children of God.

In a follow on from 2 weeks ago, Tim further unpacks what is meant by "the manifold wisdom of God" in Ephesians 3:10. It's way more powerful than you think. Wisdom is creative in nature, and the enemy's biggest fear is "like Father like child". When the church truly gets this revelation and walks it out, nations will come streaming to the House of God.

When it comes to your destiny, there's more at stake than you living a fulfilling life - though that's valid. You are part of a bigger picture of The Father's plan for the earth. Tim looks at "the heavenlies" in Ephesians, showing the cosmic battle that you are a part of, and why it's so important that the war for the affections of our heart is won by the Lover Of Our Soul.

When the Spirit moves in our gatherings it can be tempting to think that it is a sovereign act of God. While sovereignty plays a part, His manifest presence is rarely as random as we think. Tim looks at two key passages that speak to our corporate gatherings, showing the part we play in hosting His presence and releasing breakthrough.

After two weeks of higher levels of glory, Tim takes time for a family chat on some of the things that happen when the Spirit comes - manifestations, laughing, drinking to name a few, and talks about key attitudes that will set you up for encounter.  Following this, he ministered into a key purpose of the higher presence level - awakening those parts of our hearts that have stopped beating/dreaming because of pain and disappointment.

This was no ordinary night.  The glory of God was strong in the room, and it was pretty crazy.  While Tim found it hard to keep going, he managed to pull out an important message - in the Kingdom there is accountability for how we steward our life, and our life's pain and disappointments don't change what we are accountable for. But, we can know that the Father's mercy brings healing to our pain and disappointment and turns our captivity into our ministry.
