The Gathering On The Rock

Our topic today is 'How to Grow in Christ.' This occurs when your thinking takes you to new levels of encounters within the Kingdom. You develop your spirit to engage the Christ within.

Learning New Truths is vital to becoming who the Father sees us as. Our New Man in Christ must be seen, heard, and encountered. We must not become vulnerable to religious doctrines that remove the freedoms that Jesus died to give us.

We finish this week's teaching with 'Placement and Portrayal!' When we know our placement and portrayal in Christ at each step of our walk with Him, our story and journey guarantee ongoing blessing and favor in our lives.

'Off with the Old, and On with the New' is our topic for today. If you are in and out of your old man, you can delay your transformation, even postpone if for a season, but you cannot cancel it!

Today, we look at the aspect of becoming an 'Adult son or daughter!' Only in Christ can we escape the viewpoint, thinking, and conversation of the world around us. Wanting new but thinking old is classic 'double-mindedness!'

We must get the revelation that we are a 'New Creation!' If we do not learn the perspective, thinking, and language of the new man, then our experience of Christ can never rise to the full level available in the Kingdom.

We have to learn the language of our true identity. In our placement in Christ, we are learning to see differently and engage with the mind of Christ in all our life issues. New thinking creates a new language, which is evidence of our growth and development in the Kingdom!

We finish our teaching this week with an understanding of 'Your Inheritance.' As we are growing up into Christ in all things, we may also practice the lifestyle of a joint heir with Christ. Because Christ is in us, the same privilege, favor, and provision that He enjoys now also is available to us.

Our teaching today focuses on 'Learning to be Accepted.' The same oneness that Yeshua had with the Father may be ours in Christ as we learn to let the Father love us.

Today, we examine the fact that Grace is the Father's empowering presence. We must see that grace is more than favor; it enables us to become the person that the Godhead sees in us.

It is vital that we learn to be secure in Father's love. The world is difficult, but the Kingdom is not. To have Christ in us means that we are learning to live in and from a place of the Father's delight in us.

Today, we want to look at 'Partners with Father God.' The Father starts with a place of weakness, our born-again moment. From there, we, as children, begin to grow as He empowers and elevates us to a place of full sonship.

In this last study, we find the privilege of walking as "You in Christ!" Powerful beliefs do not look for a way out of a situation or circumstances. No, they look for majesty. They expect to find the Godhead joyfully providing and working powerfully.

Our study today is showing the best way to describe Christ in you and you in Christ. The first one we will look at further is You In Christ.

The other side of the coin is "You in Christ!" This term is used to describe that we are bowing to His lordship and accepting His rule in our weakness.

We start this week seeing that there is "No Duality" in our walk with Christ. We need to understand that the child of God can not have a separate walk than the Godhead has called for. Amos three says that two can not walk together if they are not in agreement!

Our final study this week takes us to the fact that 'Everything Centers in Yeshua!' The Natural mind is a fighter and a taker. The Mind of Christ is a Lover and a Giver. The carnal mind is centered in self-rule. The Spiritual mind is centered in God-rule!

Today, we explore another aspect of Christians not being happy. And that is, they are feeding upon a message that is Man-Centered and not Christ-centered. They only know Yeshua in one dimension. That is a Priest! But He is both 'Priest and King!'

We have spoken on the aspect of Yeshua being a Priest. In today's study, we look at the fact that 'Yeshua is King!' The emphasis of the Word of God is His Lordship! He is to be King and Ruler and Governor over my life and yours!

In our study today, we need to be able to say to a hurting world: 'Such as I Have.' We cannot proclaim the Gospel to the world with the same countenance that the world already wears; what good is that?

One of the main reasons that so many Christians are unhappy is there is 'Not a Showing of Gratitude!' From the Old Covenant to the New, we are to show forth 'Thankfulness' in all that occurs in our lives!

'Every relationship grows through Layers and Levels' of seeing, thinking, experiencing, and growing. Every relationship starts on one level and grows to another. From dating to marriage, no children to having children, from a child to a grown person, all require layers and levels of change!

Yesterday we see that the Master was teaching and mentoring His disciples. Today, we look at the fact that Peter 'has his eyes opened.' Peter walked with the Master for three and one-half years, and he still could not see the importance of taking the Gospel to the Gentiles!

We are going to look at two examples of the Lord Jesus, exposing the hearts of individuals. Today, we look at the woman who had a demon-possessed child. We will see that the way the Master talked to her was so Un-Jesus and the reason behind His strange mannerisms!

The 'Father loves to Teach and Mentor Us' is the topic for today. The Father is excited about the wisdom and revelation that we receive as we learn to walk with Him. What He is teaching us, He also causes us to experience!
