In this message, Maria Mason shares about the tool of worship to awaken us to the Spirit. She shares that our choice to worship is powerful, and when we do so, we are sounding an alarm to come alive in the things of the Spirit. We begin to partner with God to be revived, renewed and refreshed. 

Maria is followed by Liz Flipo, who shares the power of worship and warfare. This was so powerful, as there are many examples of the power of worship displacing the powers of darkness in the Old Testament. God anoints the songs of the saints to bring breakthroughs and the glory of God. Liz shared powerfully about how songs can set us up for breakthroughs, but more than that, our partnership with the Lord intensifies that breakthrough! 

After this, Toby, one of our worship leaders, also shared how worship is one of the critical ways the Holy Spirit awakens us to intimacy! God is at work to quicken revelation and power to us so that our hearts come fully alive when we behold Him. We are often overwhelmed with our own issues, but God invites us into the throne room to behold Him. When we behold Him, we are changed from glory to glory! What a great Sunday in the glory of God.

In 1 Corinthians 11, Paul draws a direct correlation between the spiritual state of the Corinthian church and the degree of supernatural power that was flowing in the church. He confronted the reality that the Corinthians were full of dishonor toward one another as members of Christ’s body. “For if you eat the bread or drink the cup without honoring the body of Christ, you are eating and drinking God’s judgment upon yourself. That is why many of you are weak and sick and some have even died.” (1 Corinthians 11:29-30 NLT) 

While there were clearly healers and miracle workers in the Corinthian church, they were unable to heal the sick and some were even dying of illnesses that were commonly healed in evangelistic settings. Paul hands us a major key in releasing greater healing in the church. We must deal with our offenses, our unforgiveness, our judgments and our dishonor toward our brothers and sisters if we want to see the fullness of God’s healing power flow inside His church.

In this message, Rosie discusses the transformative power of a community that practices safe, confessional culture. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 12 and 13, we explore how, as the body of Christ, we deeply need one another and how being connected in community is essential for both our growth and healing.

Jesus tells us that we will know the truth, and the truth will set us free. As we anchor ourselves to the truth of God’s Word as our standard, we become less vulnerable to buy into voices and ideas that lead us away from intimacy with Him. 

Staying connected to God’s Word and His body is crucial for discerning the truth. When we choose to courageously expose the thoughts, lies, and accusations that come against us and against God's character, to the light, we will experience increasing measures of freedom and healing. Moreover, we will be equipped and activated to help those around us step into greater freedom.

Ken dives into God’s purposes and calling on our lives.

He proposes that “a critical part of our own restoration is making peace with God, by making peace with who God made us to be”.

Ken further clarifies a process of deducing our calling by suggesting that when we come to an understanding of who we are without Jesus, and who we are with Jesus, the contrast allows us to see more clearly what His purposes for us are.

Ken speaks of God using everyday things in our lives to build the foundations, and assures us that God supplies the gifting needed.

Yet floundering, rebellion, avoidance, and distractions are often habits keeping God's plans at arms length, while slowly drowning out His voice.

Ken calls us to accept who and what we are, and the purposes given to us, and to begin to walk with confidence in God to lean into the Divine pattern for our life. He reminds us that our journey into our high calling is constituted by many heart thresholds and powerful heart processes.

In this particular message, Joe uses the Restoration of the walls of Jerusalem from the book of Nehemiah, a prophetic picture of what it looks like to build into the future as Father and sons.

He uses what he thinks is the mundane details of Nehemiah’s building plans in the Old Testament to draw out processes and mile-markers to the restoration project of Christ on the inside of us. He uses it to cast a vision for healing and calls us to not just settle for peace for the short term, like king Hezekiah, but set a pattern for generations to follow.

God desires to restore us completely, and there is nothing that He cannot do! He wishes for our inner and outer world to shine like polished gold, like clear glass. This long-term vision gives us purpose to follow Christ even though the journey costs us.

God wants to send out fully healed sons to lead others into their own journey as sons and daughters, so that Jesus can get what he prayed for in John 17:11 ‘that they may be one, even as we are one”

In this ‘fireside chat,’ Phil and Maria Mason open up a conversation around deep level heart healing, their journey into this theme, their personal experiences on the way and their vision for a community where everyone is on the journey. They lead us on a journey through some of the big concepts surrounding inner healing, such as letting God into your core, validating your trauma, repentance and dismantling sin structures, attachment issues, breaking agreements with lies, inner vows, bitter root judgments, and overcoming offense: all light and breezy topics. A huge part of our transformational journey is finding the right language and building an authentic heart culture within the church that values prayer ministry with one another as a lifestyle rather than a six-monthly tune-up. We hope this conversation blesses you and shines a light on the power of building a deep heart culture in every local church.

Andy Dozier, a team member of Orbis Ministries (Ken Fish) spoke recently at the Northern Rivers school of the prophetic. He presented a phenomenal message that gave a wonderful introduction to the ministry of inner healing. He opened by talking about the fragility of the human soul, and how we were never designed to be exposed to so much trauma and rejection. He went on to explain how God brings healing to reverse all of the choices we have made in our negative responses to the trauma and the pain of life on planet earth. This is a tremendous message and we would encourage everyone to give it a listen Andy was a tremendous blessing at the school of the prophetic. We hope you enjoy this message and that you are also blessed. Andy’s biggest point was that a heart that is healing is a heart that is hearing everything God is saying.

Maria Mason begins our new series on Heart Life this week. This series explores all things related to inner healing and heart management. In this particular message, Maria delves into the book of Nehemiah, a prophetic picture of the profound restoration of the walls of Jerusalem. 

This unique story of Nehemiah in the Old Testament imparts invaluable lessons to us about our journey. It teaches us to fight for our healing, just as Nehemiah fought against the distractions that the enemy brought to thwart God’s purposes during the reconstruction.

God desires to restore us completely, and there is nothing that He can not do! Do you have some broken spaces in your life? Do you have any broken connections? Are you feeling wounded? That makes you a perfect target for walking with the Lord toward healing. 

The restoration of the heart ministry is a central message of Jesus’ ministry in the Kingdom of God. Let’s step up for fresh commissioning to heal the broken-hearted places in our lives, reassured and comforted by our faith in God’s healing power.

If God can heal bodies, He sure can heal hearts! He is more than able!

The call to intimacy with God is a call to draw near to his heart and listen to his heartbeat. What is on the heart of our Father in heaven? What moves him? What motivates him? What are his highest purposes for our lives? For those who long for a deeper intimacy with God, the concerns of heaven ought to become our concerns as we align our hearts with the heart of our Father.

In this message, Phil Mason explores a dimension of our intimate relationship with God through the lens of the role of the fivefold ministry as outlined by the apostle Paul in Ephesians chapter 4. The fruit of fivefold ministry is an explosive “knowledge of the Son of God”in the local church. (Ephesians 4:13) This is the knowledge of the heart of the beloved Son in his relationship with his beloved Father. May this message challenge you to draw near to God and align yourself with the things that move his heart: his desire to see a mature Church with a mature expression of sonship. 
We hope you enjoy this message.
