Being The Head and Not The Tail - Part 3 - Spiritual Authority Foundations

In part 3 of this series, Tim looks at the foundations of spiritual authority. Knowing our spiritual authority is key to fulfilling our destiny, and to reigning in life the way we were created to. We have been put into a position in Christ where everything is under our feet. While we may be waiting for "the planets to align" for good things to happen, the reality is the "planets are waiting for US to align". We are not powerless victims. We have the authority to determine what comes and goes in our world.

The Kingdom Paradigm

A true Kingdom paradigm is critical foundation to us living the fullness of our destiny. Many of us have been raised in a paradigm that keeps us small and locked inside the four walls of the church. The Kingdom paradigm releases us from religious chains and frees us to impact the world through the authenticity of who God has made us to be and to carry.

Upgrading Our Thinking About Ourselves

If we are going to occupy a greater space in the spirit realm, then we need an upgrade in the way that we think about ourselves. Low self-worth wars against the full manifestation of your destiny. Many of us who have been in church a long time have been discipled in smallness - religious misconceptions that undermine our true identity in Christ. Tim looks at lies in 2 key areas - our worth and our nature - and invites us to see the glory that is really on us as children of God.

Destiny and The Manifold Wisdom of God

In a follow on from 2 weeks ago, Tim further unpacks what is meant by "the manifold wisdom of God" in Ephesians 3:10. It's way more powerful than you think. Wisdom is creative in nature, and the enemy's biggest fear is "like Father like child". When the church truly gets this revelation and walks it out, nations will come streaming to the House of God.

Destiny, The Bigger Picture, and the War for the Affections of Your Heart

When it comes to your destiny, there's more at stake than you living a fulfilling life - though that's valid. You are part of a bigger picture of The Father's plan for the earth. Tim looks at "the heavenlies" in Ephesians, showing the cosmic battle that you are a part of, and why it's so important that the war for the affections of our heart is won by the Lover Of Our Soul.

When The Spirit Comes

After two weeks of higher levels of glory, Tim takes time for a family chat on some of the things that happen when the Spirit comes - manifestations, laughing, drinking to name a few, and talks about key attitudes that will set you up for encounter.  Following this, he ministered into a key purpose of the higher presence level - awakening those parts of our hearts that have stopped beating/dreaming because of pain and disappointment.

Stewarding Your Life

This was no ordinary night.  The glory of God was strong in the room, and it was pretty crazy.  While Tim found it hard to keep going, he managed to pull out an important message - in the Kingdom there is accountability for how we steward our life, and our life's pain and disappointments don't change what we are accountable for. But, we can know that the Father's mercy brings healing to our pain and disappointment and turns our captivity into our ministry. 

Past Miracles and Present Provision

Learning how His Kingdom operates is critical for us in bringing Heaven to earth.  We often fail to take ground because we don't see that the provision for our current situation lies in past interventions of God in our lives.  Remembering these, and anchoring our faith to what God has done, rather than our present lack, is the key to taking ground.
