Seated: The position of the believer
He emphasized that we experience shadows because our convictions in God shift. James 1:17
Here are some key points to note from the sermon:
- You must come to a point in your walk with God where you must learn to trust him.
- Every good comes from God, only good comes from God.
Evil stems from two sources
- The fallen nature of the world. Rom 8:20-21
- The Devil Acts 10:30
- Man
Wrong teachings cast shadows on the nature of God and will lead to wrong expectations.
God’s promise is that no matter what you face, He will provide a way of escape.What happens when we think only good things happen to good people?
- We treat other people who are going through hard times poorly. There is a type of devotion God calls pride.
More points to note:
- Self-righteousness makes you vulnerable to attacks.
- When it comes to a believer’s authority it is a firm understanding of who you are.
- It is not your faithfulness that gives you authority.
- The name of Jesus is a place (Strong tower) and a garment of influence.
Go in the name of Jesus, when you stand and confront things in the spirit. -
The goal of the gospel is not for illumination, the goal is to salvation. In this wicked world, we must be born again and as believers, we must be different from the world.
The Bible tells us that we have an inheritance of power, just because you're saved doesn't mean you know who you are, there is a place of knowing. We must know who we are as believers! -

Who Are You? A teaching on believers' authority
Acts 19:13, Ephesians 1:15
The goal of the gospel is not for illumination, the goal is to salvation. In this wicked world, we must be born again and as believers, we must be different from the world.
The Bible tells us that we have an inheritance of power, just because you're saved doesn't mean you know who you are, there is a place of knowing. We must know who we are as believers!
There is more to prayer! It is first an identity.
A lot of people are prayerful without a consciousness of inheritance.Acts 1:8, Galatians 3:27
The problem with a lot of Christianity is that it is always futuristic ignoring what they have now.
The word 'Baptism' describes who we are in Christ as believers.
Baptism is more than just water; water is just a spiritual metaphor for something real in the spirit. Baptism is a garment of influence, it wears you with the influence of Christ.
Christ did not just die for us, he died as us.
Say these confessions: I have an inheritance! I have a godly heritage! Greater is He that is in me than He that is in the world. -

Marital roles.
Men and women in many aspects are very different. This is why God’s instructions and roles for both genders are different.
The reason we sometimes struggle with these instructions is because we define love according to worldly ideologies.
However, as believers, the word of God is our final authority.
God's instruction to men is for them to love their wives. Ephesians 5:25
Three Ps that will help you understand the Biblical perspective of marriage as a man are:
📍Protection
📍Provision
📍Promises
The Bible instructs women to submit. Ephesians 5:22
📍Submission is not to all men but your own husband.
📍 Learn to see submission with a powerful lens, it doesn't mean subjugation.
In understanding gender roles, there is an overarching principle of empathy.
The best advice for marriage is found in the word of God; walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Gal 5:16 -

How to Heal from Trauma
We must always embrace, in our consciousness, the image of totality in salvation.
When it comes to total and wholesome deliverance, spiritual activity is the beginning and not the end.
This means that mind renewal starts with the word of God and then a healthy exposure to the ideal reality.
There are four attachment styles that influence people's behavior, which are
1. The Secure Attachment
2. The Anxious or Preoccupied
3. The Avoidant Dismissive
4. The Fearful Avoidant
It is ideal to be conscious of what style we belong to so we can control or manage how we relate to people.
There are, however, 3 sure ways to help heal from these negative effects:
1. The church.
2. Walking in the spirit of God.
3. Living in Christ Consciousness. -

Ambience: The Jealousy of God
Here are some important points to remember:

📌 When you find yourself in the center of God’s will, you will see and walk in power.

📌 One of the most powerful things you can do is to side with God.
📌 If you are in the will of God, the supernatural flows easily.
