In the final teaching of the Heaven Now series, Chris unpacks the last fruit of the Spirit — what the Greek calls enkrateia, energy governed from within — and why the English translation "self-control" collapses when placed next to who God actually is. Anchored in the story of John the Baptist and the opening of Genesis, this teaching traces the difference between a proving identity and a received one, between a river flooding its banks and one that flows with direction. The Beatitude of the misunderstood meets the wilderness where legitimacy gets forged.

WEEKLY REFLECTION:

1. Where are you working harder to be seen?
2. When the doubt hits, who or what is your first move?
3. What boundary would let your energy run with banks instead of as a flood?
