  • Galatians 5:1 says, ā€œIt is for freedom that Christ has set us freeā€ and this is Godā€™s will and great desire for His peopleā€¦to live in freedom!

    But, when you are living in trauma, itā€™s a very real and present pain that can wreak havoc on your life and pull you into bitterness and unforgiveness, which perpetually steals our joy. But thank God, He has given us keys to get it back!

    Furthermore, Hosea 2:17 promises Godā€™s people that even in seasons of great pain and deepest valleys of loss, He desires to give us back our joy and to open up for us a door of hope where we can experience His forgiveness and the benefits of covenant love, in real-time, for ourselves and for others.

    This podcast with itā€™s accompanying resources will inspire you as you hear Kent and Beverly Mattox vulnerably share Bev's journey through unforgiveness with her own father and help you to step into the beginning stages of walking into Godā€™s supernatural love and forgiveness:

    šŸ”‘Acknowledge your pain and own your feelings

    šŸ”‘Acknowledge that others may never change, but you can continue to grow with Godā€™s supernatural help and strength

    šŸ”‘Release your right to hold on to bitterness

    šŸ”‘Desire Reconciliation

    šŸ”‘Apply the blood of Jesus to every offense

    šŸ”‘Extend an invitation to rebuild the relationship where itā€™s possible

    You will also hear a powerful testimony of freedom and transformation from Christie Shelton.

  • Everyone has hangups and habits, right? The problem with addiction may include drugs and alcohol, but it goes far beyond that in our current cultural expression. There are so many things these days that attempt to pull us away from God.

    The good news is that any habit or hangup we are dealing with cannot overcome our identity in Christ. We are a new creation and sooner or later the seed of destiny will break through the husk of iniquity, and we will walk into freedom!!

    Join Pastor Kent Mattox in this podcast, as he weaves together his own personal testimony of overcoming addiction and the Biblical concepts of freedom that come through the revelation of the Fatherā€™s purpose and destiny for our lives, according to Proverbs 29:18 which says,

    ā€œWhere there is no revelation, people cast off restraint.ā€

    You will also hear a powerful testimony from Chris Driver, who was not only delivered out of a coma but overcame the stronghold of addiction through the power of God and process.

  • Growing and evolving in our relationships and learning how to trust the Lord in the midst of it all is a necessary part of Kingdom transformation.

    We must understand that sometimes it can be the work of the Lord in our lives when we are experiencing:

    šŸš«Rejection from something we thought was ours, but God is saying otherwise.

    šŸš«God allowing us to be in a position where we feel rejected.

    šŸš«Outright rejection from people around us or within our community.

    If you find yourself in these positions, then the Lord has something better for you. In fact, God could be right in the midst of your rejection and the benefits on the other side can be remarkable when you choose to trust Him and to walk through it with love and honor in your heart.

    Listen in as Pastors Kent and Beverly Mattox dive into these concepts and also hear a powerful testimony from Joshua Minton, who through Godā€™s grace has overcome so much loss and addiction and is now experiencing the supernatural reconciliation of relationships in his life.

    And as we continue to grow in our relationship with Holy Spirit, we will be required to expand our capacity in the realm of generosity.  Would you believe that there are around 2,600 Scriptures that tie generosity back to the righteousness of God?!

    The Lord is really serious about this topic and itā€™s another wonderful aspect of the grace that we can receive from Our Father as we are led by His Spirit each day.

    The very essence of Godā€™s nature is giving, as the Scripture says, ā€œRestore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me by Your generous Spirit.ā€ (Psalm 51)

    In this podcast, Kent and Beverly discuss the nature of Godā€™s Spirit as the ultimate giver and teacher, as they talk through the parables of Jesus and unearth Scriptures that define what it really means to know the Lord through the process of letting go.

  • The fourth and final measure in our transformational process is assignment.

    This is the endgame, as Godā€™s will is for us to live in fulfillment, right? We are called to shift the spiritual atmosphere everywhere we go according to the ministry model that Jesus laid out in Luke, Chapter 9:

    šŸ‘„ Fellowship

    šŸ’„ Minister

    In this talk, Kent and Beverly dive deeper into the effectiveness of this Biblical model, with practical testimony from marketplace leader Craig Mattox included.

  • The 4-part Transformation discipleship path is based on four principles- identity, alignment, empowerment., and assignment.

    Our lives are not based on what we do, but upon who we are in Christ. This is our identity.

    The impact of that overflow causes us to be able to align with Godā€™s Kingdom and leverage our time and money for His purposes. This is our alignment.

    One of the great rewards on this journey is that Godā€™s authority and power begin to flow in our lives as we are changed and become faithful stewards of what Heā€™s given us. This is empowerment, the third step in our transformation process.

    Empowerment is knowing that Godā€™s presence and the wisdom of Holy Spirit goes with you everywhere you go and that the Lord has chosen to validate you as a minster of the Kingdom:

    šŸ  in your home

    šŸ¦ in the marketplace

    šŸ“š at school

    ā›Ŗļø at church

    This is the power and authority of Godā€™s Ekklesia revealed in the earth, with the validation of Jesusā€™ manifest presence and unusual miracles.

    In this episode, Kent and Beverly talk about Godā€™s original intent for Ekklesia and how the church was birthed for the purpose of being Godā€™s restorative, reconciliatory gift to the world. God wants to empower His people so we can successfully walk this out!

  • After you become established in your identity within the 4-part Transformation discipleship path, alignment becomes a most important concept.

    Why? Because how you choose to align in every area of your life is going to be crucial for moving forward, greater understanding, and bringing Godā€™s order into these areas of your life:

    šŸŽÆ what you believe

    šŸ‘¤ who you are

    šŸ’¼ where you came from

    šŸ‘£ where you are going

    Yes, your alignment in Christ will actually expand your identity and subsequently increase your capacity so you can step into your assignment and fulfill Godā€™s will for your life.

    So, God wants to sanctify two major areas in our lives so we can move forward and see that fulfillment:

    ā° our time

    šŸ’ø our resources

    In this talk, Kent and Beverly take us back through the process of Transformation and break down what Biblical alignment really looks like within the reality of intimacy and community.

  • The first step in the 4-part Transformation discipleship path is Identity. Everything flows from here.

    You see, if we donā€™t know who we are, weā€™ll strive to ā€œshore upā€ our identity throughā€”

    šŸ‘ applause from others

    šŸ† awards

    šŸ achievements

    šŸ’° accolades

    šŸ’” acceptance

    None of these are ā€œbadā€ in an of themselvesā€” but they canā€™t tell us who we are.

    So, rather than living from the ā€œoutside-inā€ and trying to let the externals validate us, we must live from the ā€œinside-outā€ by allowing the Father to tell us who we areā€” and allowing the witness of the Holy Spirit to confirm it.

    In this talk, Kent takes us back to the foundational lesson in Transformation and breaks down the redemptive gifts, which highlight how God uniquely designed each of us.

    John writes, ā€œThe word become flash and dweltā€” literally, tabernacledā€” among usā€ (John 1:14).

    Rather than striving up TO God, He came NEAR to usā€¦ and now leads us to a place of rest.

  • The Day of Atonement is a reminder of sin and sacrificeā€¦

    ā€¦ in the most glorious and awe-inspiring way.

    This day highlights the truth that we donā€™t approach God based on our effortā€” and what we can give (sacrifice), we approach Him based on covenantā€” of His radical acceptance of us and what Christ has achieved by His blood.

    Now, we sacrificeā€” yet as living sacrifices (see Romans 12:1-2).

    Moreover, we donā€™t sacrifice to ā€œreceiveā€ something or ā€œachieveā€ something, we give as an overflow of a people whoā€™ve been accepted by God, going to remind others that grace ā€œwinsā€ and that theyā€™ve been accepted, too.

    We become the Ecclesia, taking the message of reconciliation wherever we goā€¦

  • Rosh Hashanahā€” the ā€œhead of the yearā€ā€” is a time of new beginnings.

    But itā€™s more than just that.

    Itā€™s also a time to recognize the radical grace of God in our lives, the kind of grace that enables us to startā€” and restartā€” as many times as we needā€¦

    ā€¦ the kind of grace that bonds almost exclusively to weakness, becauseā€” as the Bible tells usā€” in our weaknesses His strength is made perfect.

  • Weā€™re moving into a new yearā€¦ which means a new season of interacting with the Lord. This is a great time to ā€œreturn to your absolute source,ā€ that is, to lean into the Lord.

    In night sky, youā€™ll see the scales (Libra) reminding us of judgmentā€” and the Day of Atonement. We get to celebrate the New Covenant anew, reminding us of the complete wholeness we have in Christ.

    In the Hebrew mind, as well, this is the season when the Lord either returns OR He sets us up to live another year before Him, enjoying His kingdom here on earth.

  • The month of Elul is the month in which ā€œthe king is in the field.ā€ That is, God comes near to usā€¦

    This is the season in which He wants to be involved in your business, in your home, in each area of your life. And, weā€™re reminded thatā€” rather than us alone seeking Himā€” God is the true Seeker who is available to us.

    Moreover, He brings mercy and grace when He comes, extended the very nature of Himself.

    By the way, the word Elul in Hebrew is an acrostic, which states ā€œI am belovedā€™s and He is mineā€ā€” and echo of Song of Songs 6:3.

  • Av is the month the Hebrew children made one of the worst decisions of their livesā€” this is the month the Children of Israel were originally intended to enter the Promised Land.

    However, they looked at circumstances instead of their Savior and Redeemer. Thus, they wandered in the wilderness of 40 years.

    The Lion of Judah would have roared for them!

    (Look in the night sky, and youā€™ll see Leo in the night sky, as a reminder of this prophetic season.)

    This is a month to mix the promises of God with faith and receiveā€” the Lion still roars (Amos 3:8). And, to intentionally align ourselves with God.

    So, itā€™s a time to seek the Lord with new decisions that we make.

  • When we look in the sky this month we see the crabā€” which brings about a two-fold vision to either:

    šŸ¦€ guard your heart, OR

    šŸ¦€ develop a hard outer shell


    This is the month to take a look at who you areā€” and see Godā€™s plans and purposes for you. We want to give Him the opportunity to speak into our livesā€¦

    ā€¦ and, make adjustments as we move forward.

     

    When a rocket takes off, it immediately veers off-courseā€” by about 1%. It must constantly align and re-align towards its target.

    This, is what we should do as well, constantly leaning into the blessings and promises of God as we walk out His plans for our lives.

  • There are three feasts in the Bible, ordained by Godā€¦

    ā€¦ each of which link together.


    #1 = Passover is the time God provided the lamb and freed the Children of Israel from Egypt.

    This is a time when we celebrate Godā€™s power. At this feast, we celebrate that God delivered the Children of Israel from slavery in Egypt after the sacrifice of the Passover Lambā€” and He delivers us from sin because of the incredible work of Jesus. He cleanses us, as well, making us completely righteous. This celebration begins the Biblical calendar.

     

    #2 = Pentecost occurs 50 days later, and is the time He gave His Word at Mount Sinai.

    This is a time when we celebrate Godā€™s provision. At this feast, we celebrate that God delivered the Hebrew people and then provided lavishly for them, even in the desert. He provided them with His Word at Mount Sinaiā€” and pours forth His Holy Spirit even now.

     

    #3 = Tabernacles occurs a few months later... 

    This is a time when we celebrate Godā€™s presence. During Tabernacles, Jews makeā€” and live inā€” temporary shelters (tents) in order to commemorate that their ancestors lived in temporary shelters when they left Egypt on their way to the Promised Land (see Leviticus 23:42-43). They also celebrate that God had a Tabernacleā€” a massive tentā€” built so that He could live among them (Exodus 25:8-9). Today, we celebrate that ā€œthe Word became flesh and dwelt [tabernacled] among usā€ (John 1:14). This festival commemorates that even today we journey in a land that is not our home (remember, weā€™re citizens of Heaven!), yet God is with us!

    šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„

     

    By the way, not all of the feasts have yet culminated! The word ā€œfeastā€ is better translated as ā€œrehearsal,ā€ as they all anticipated a future event of incredible magnitude, all relating to Jesus (as Colossians 3:17 says above).

     

    #1 = Passover

    ā­ļø Rehearsal = The first Passover involved the passover lambs and freedom from slavery.

    āœ… Fulfillment = Jesus fulfilled Passover when He died on the Cross, setting us free from sin!

     

    #2 = Pentecost

    ā­ļø Rehearsal = The first Pentecost involved the giving of the Law, a tutor so that people might know how to live in relationship with God (see Galatians 3:24-25).

    āœ… Fulfillment = Now, the Spirit (which Jesus promised) is here and teaches usā€” the Spirit which was given at Pentecost!

     

    #3 = Tabernacles

    ā­ļø Rehearsal = The first Tabernacles is likely when ā€œthe Word became flesh and [tabernacled] among usā€ (John 1:14).
     

    āœ… Fulfillment = Will Jesus return during Tabernacles, during the time when the trumpets are blown?

    In the same way you see Godā€™s story threaded through each month, you see the complete story of redemption unfolding in the feasts!
