Tribe Church

There is something within us that hungers for more than what has been defined by church tradition. Holy Spirit is beckoning us to step out of the typical norm and allow ourselves to be reborn again…a reimagining and rebirthing of what we are meant to look like. This is more than a shift, it is saying yes to the call of the Lord to start a movement.

In the Sabbatismos lifestyle, there is a promise of rest that is for us today, every day. This promise is an invitation to keep and celebrate Abba’s rest and show us what is attainable because of the living Christ within. This rest brings a re-wilding, re-changing, re-introduction into the reality of who we were designed to be.

There is a Sabbath rest that is so much deeper than just a day. It’s the rest that Yahweh took on the 7th day of creation, a Sabbatismos - celebrating the completed work of perfection. So it should be for us, to keep a Sabbatismos lifestyle as the foundation of who we are as His sons and daughters. Not settling for just a day, but a full and complete rest, in every day and in everything. 

The will and intent of our Father is for His Kingdom plan to be released into the earth. When the mind is renewed (Romans 12:2), the person is renewed, and the atmosphere around us is changed. This brings heaven to earth.

A people of chara (joy) bring heaven to earth because they carry the presence of the Lord. This deep, inner abiding and rejoicing joy comes directly from His presence, found through communion with Him.

“A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.” James 1:8 (KJV). The earth needs sons and daughters to be true believers who will take every thought - the bad and the good, negative and positive - and hold them captive to the authority of the mind of Christ. It will create a consistency within that enables us to always live in deep and inner abiding rejoicing.

The emotional pursuit or expectation of happiness can cause us to miss the supernatural joy we were designed to have in every circumstance we face. The original Greek Biblical word for joy is “chara” (pronounced har-ah), which means: “A deep and inner abiding rejoicing.” This joy lives, moves, and has its being within us. It is a joy that is unspeakable and full of His goodness. This joy knows that even in the midst of storms, Abba’s will surely will come to pass.

We are spirit beings living in a natural body. When we face the circumstances of life, we have to go to this checkpoint within ourselves and ask, “Is my mindset focused on hope and victory?” This reminds our natural man that we have the mind of Christ and no matter what we are dealing with, we face that circumstance with hope (a joy-filled expectation for good), knowing that at the end there will be victory.

Abba does not want us to be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our mind. When our mind is renewed, we are coming into agreement with the mind of Christ, so that we are able to prove the reality of the heavenly realm here on this earth, not one day, but today.

I Corinthians 2:16 tells us that we have the mind of Christ. It is not reserved just for the preacher or theologian, or the person who seems to have it all together, but for those who feel lost, broken, sick, depressed or less than; for those who are not living in abundance or have debt that they fear can’t be recovered…it is for those who suffer lack in any form. Do not believe anything other than this truth: you have the mind of Christ, and there is no circumstance that cannot end with hope and victory.
