• The Root of the Faith: Christianity’s foundation is found in the patriarchs—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The early church lost its connection to Judaism, leading to centuries of misunderstanding.
• Historical Separation: By the second and third centuries, Christianity had distanced itself from its Jewish heritage, contributing to antisemitism and a perversion of the original message.
• The Law and Fulfillment: Jesus did not abolish the Law but fulfilled it (Matthew 5:17). The Old Testament provides the framework for understanding the New Testament.
• Restoration and Revelation: The Holy Spirit is unveiling truth in this age to bring restoration and unity. Believers must return to understanding God through His original covenant people.
• The First-Century Model: Early believers continued observing feasts—Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles—while walking in the revelation of Christ.
• Blending of Jew and Gentile: The Spirit is merging both groups into one new man (Ephesians 2:14-16). This union represents the bride being made ready for Christ.
• Culmination of the Ages: God is perfecting His people by restoring what was lost. A new era is dawning, not by invention but by revelation of ancient truth.

• “The root is the patriarchs — Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Christian church left those roots, and that’s why we’ve had 2,000 years of perversion.” — Ron
• “If you don’t have the root, you cannot understand the New Testament. It’s the revelation of the Old Testament.” — Mike
• “The Holy Spirit is revealing these things now because we’re coming into a time of the end, and we have to know the truth.” — Debbie
• “Once they received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, they didn’t drop Passover, Pentecost, or Tabernacles — they blended right in.” — Mike
• “This isn’t something new. It’s being revealed the way God wanted it to be from the beginning.” — Debbie

SHOW NOTES:

• When a believer begins to reach into sonship and wants to grow in his spirit, he begins to hear about the fire.

• The refining fire that the Holy Spirit brings on a believer who is seeking to move beyond the salvation experience at first may seem to be more on a soulish level than in a person's spirit.

• A relatively new Christian can begin moving in the gifts or speaking in tongues and become excited about areas he is moving in, but it may really be mostly the expression of the soul.

• John the Baptist emphasized that Jesus was coming to baptize with the Holy Spirit and with fire, which was superior to the baptism that John had ministered.

• As the Lord begins to put the cross or the fire to a person's life, he feels very uncomfortable and may even try to back out of the pressure on his circumstances.

• There comes a point in a person's life where he realizes he has an Adamic nature that God is trying to refine out of him.

QUOTATIONS:

• I think one of the things we're looking at in the restoration, and salvation, and then the baptism of the Holy Spirit, is many people went off on a soulish realm to the degree that they thought the soulish realm was the anointing. And it was not.

• I don't think the understanding was there on what “the fire” meant.

• I don't think I ever realized we were born with chaff. I always felt like chaff came as a development as we grew up, and that's not true.

• A part of the old nature was called chaff, and the chaff had to be burned off. It couldn't remain if we were going to come into the presence of a holy God.

• You have to realize too that God doesn't technically put the fire on us. We are beaten, and that is how you get rid of the chaff. You're beaten, and then it is thrown in the air, and the wind takes it off. But then when it is done, to make sure the chaff is gone, they pick it up and burn it.

• God wants to perfect His people-- body, soul, and spirit. There are stages and times when God deals with us; we don't just stop at the initial experience of salvation.

• I think there's a carefulness, when you talk about the different levels of Christianity. We can become judges, and that is not good. We must let God be the judge, and that judgment can take you out of the game, because God will not allow you to be the judge.

• I think there is a calling for the ones that want to go on with the Lord and allow Him to burn off all the chaff, all of the soul-level stuff that we've lived with all of our lives.

TAKE AWAY:

As a believer yields to the purging and purifying work of God, they are filled with His divine nature. Through this transformation, they are equipped with God’s love and the qualities needed to fulfill their foreordained purpose in His Kingdom. Across the world, remnants of believers are being prepared to take their place in the unfolding growth of God’s Kingdom.
