Abide: John 15:7-8 — In His Word

Jesus told His disciples the importance of remaining not only in Him, but in His Word. His Word is the ultimate truth: and so we live and breathe to know Him and hear His voice. When we walk with this singular focus, we bear abundant fruit and grow as mature disciples — and our Heavenly Father is glorified. Join us as Lana and Courtney share some practical tips they've learnt through their own walks in how to abide and remain in His Word: both the written Scriptures and the promises He whispers to our hearts.

Abide: John 15:5-6 Much Fruit

In this episode, Lana and Courtney get real and honest on the practical outworkings of bearing much fruit. God has chosen to show Himself on the earth through our fruitfulness, and this only comes by abiding. We must remember that the fruit is not produced in our own strength, but is a positional inheritance when we remain in Him. It is a mindset of availability over ability. Even in the pruning and burning there is an invitation: The more we look at Him, the more we become like Him, the more His love flows out of us.

Abide: John 15:3-4 — Already Cleansed

As Lana and Courtney continue to look at John 15, we see the pruning of the vine, not as a bad thing, but as a cleansing — a healing. Jesus said that He has ALREADY CLEANSED us! And when we understand that we are already forgiven and are totally loved, we can enter into a place of intimacy without judgement. This foundational place is important, as our beliefs shape the way we see and respond to Him. Seeing Him as good is how we bear good fruit. So we choose to remain: continually listening, allowing His love to continually grow us deeper into Him.

Jacob’s Ladder #6: From Pillow to Pillar

As Lana and Courtney wrap up the series on Genesis 28, they remind us that through Jesus, we no longer just rely on a visitation, but we are in constant communion with God, with no separation.

There is an invitation for God to live in us. Holiness is an overflow of this indwelling and we move from ascension to consecration. As Jacob set up a pillar to honour God, so we become the pillars. It is here in this moment where Jacob said, ‘the Lord is my God,’ even as he wrestled with the promise. And like Jacob, there is something that is formed in that wrestle, which brings us face to face with the magnitude of what God is speaking. It takes us out of our own strength and into total dependance on God. With a determined heart, we declare that we trust in the truth of His promise.

Jacob’s Ladder #5: The Lord is in this Place

As Lana and Courtney journey through the story of Jacob’s Ladder, they come to the verse where Jacob declares, ‘Surely the Lord is in this place and I didn’t even know it.’ This shows us that even ordinary places can become holy places. Places where you have an encounter with God that marks you, and from which you don’t want to leave. Encounters where God turns our face towards His and we see Him eye to eye. It is an invitation to focus: to move forward and to move higher with God.

Jacob’s Ladder #4: In His Presence

Journey with Lana and Courtney, as they themselves encounter God, even while talking about Jacob’s encounter. In this episode we learn that God’s promise was not dependent on Jacob’s actions, for God declared, “I will…” For He is the great I AM. In Jacob’s brokenness and wayward moments, God reveals His grace, as He is the one who leans in close. And it is there In God’s presence that everything changes. In His presence we can do anything. Through the revelation of who He is, there is birthed a courage and boldness to do all He has asked us to do — a courage to believe in the promise and to dream again.

Jacob’s Ladder #3: Building the Generations

Lana Vawser and Courtney Kueck discuss verse 14 of Genesis 28. The promise God gave to Jacob in his dream was not just for him, but for the generations. In this new year, God is speaking about legacy and raising up the next generation: a generation who is not weighed down by past religious expectations, but who is also looking to the older generation for guidance. Just as God called Abraham to live face to face with His presence, so should we, as the generations together, make seeking God’s face our priority.

Jacob’s Ladder #2: Land and Territories

In Jacob’s dream, God reaffirms the promise that He gave to Abraham — and now to Jacob himself — I will give you this land. As we ascend, in 2024, God is calling us higher with Him. God wants to bring us into a place of rest and wonder, in knowing that He is the God who fulfils His promises, not only to us now, but to the generations. In this episode, Lana and Courtney also speak an encouragement to the mothers and grandmothers who have stood and fought for the promises for their families. We should not underestimate the seeds that we plant. As we dive deeper with God, we are building a heritage for the next generation.

Jacob’s Ladder: The Journey Begins

Lana and Courtney begin an exciting new series on the Biblical story of Jabob’s ladder (Genesis 28). They share how Jacob’s dream at Bethel was the beginning of his rebirth and destiny: and they share the spiritual significance of how that relates to us today. The start of 2024 is the beginning of something important. It is a ‘pillow to pillar’ moment, where we — like Jacob — begin to realize who God is and what He is doing around us. There is a new place of rest: the fruit of encounter and transformation, a place of ascension and birthing. God is re-introducing Himself to us in greater ways — to His power, His love and His nature: where the supernatural is going to become even more natural in the coming year.
