Have you ever tried to reconcile with someone whom you had not yet forgiven for their part? If you have, you know that things go bad at the first reaction of your attempt. It takes the mind (life) of Christ within you to do the extending and seeking forgiveness of another. As most us know, that can’t happen until an indwelt believer appropriates his/her identity in Christ.
Once a Body member of Christ begins to function from his true identity in Christ, there is strength and grace released that is beyond himself–ability, I might add, that gives him the same abilities of Christ to resolve conflict with others.

Our women, children, communities and nation need a few good men – husbands, fathers and leaders who are willing to lead according to the divine Word of Truth. We are in the middle of a cultural battle that wages war against the male and female genders – boys being emasculated and our girls being made masculine.

The second coming of the Lord is a critical part of the belief system of each and every believer. The Hebrew reason for the rapture is for the Groom (Christ) to come and get His Bride. Just like the timeline suggests: Jesus courted us during His ministry, became engaged with us during the New Testament period, and verse seven reveals the second coming as a Gracious act of coming for His Bride (see John 14:3, Phil. 3:20, 1 Thess. 4:15-18 & 1 Cor. 15:23).

This phase (#5 - identification) unfolds the foundational concept for complete and effective living in Christ Jesus, through the indwelt Holy Spirit. It is not the end by any means, but the starting place of the disciplee switching from self-effort to Christ doing the work through him OR her. Once the disciple transfers his/her foundation from self to the indwelling life of Christ, real living starts.

“For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ” (1 Cor. 3:11).

Jesus offers complete freedom from the lies of the enemy! He wants every woman to know that there is a way of escape and that the enemy has no power to enslave women in believing things that stop them from demonstrating true freedom and power to men and children.
Jesus knows that women are the aspect of His Father’s creation that points the way back to the Father. This is accomplished through women using their design and influence to point children and other women back to their husbands/fathers to be ministered to and ultimately lead back to God the Father.

The process of delving into past or present experiences of life is high risk, can be threatening but yet very important when it comes to the discipleship process. I have learned through the years that this general data gathering helps me understand how patterns of thinking and feeling and their choices have been formed in the lives of those we minister unto.

Making Promises is NOT Biblical: "Again, you have heard that the ancients were told, 'YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FALSE VOWS, BUT SHALL FULFILL YOUR VOWS TO THE LORD.' "But I say to you, make no oath (promise) at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet, or by Jerusalem, for it is THE CITY OF THE GREAT KING. "Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. "But let your statement be, 'Yes, yes' or 'No, no'; anything beyond these is of evil.

Repentance is the most uncommon and least used phase of most “Christian” counselors. Many counselees come in with thoughts like “I need help with my marriage” and what does the “counselor” do? Goes after the marriage issues of course! Some will work to define the hidden issues behind a broken marriage but few actually use the issues to lead the DE (disciplee) to repentance. Repentance you say, yes – repentance. Most people helpers are focused on fixing the fix that God fixed on His children to fix them trying to fix themselves and others.

Hebrew law required the firstborn son to be married. It was not optional. He had to marry the bride who was handpicked by the Hebrew patriarch of the family. It was the same with God. He used creation to multiply humans in order to pick the cream of the crop for His first and only Son. Learn More...
