Tim & Deb Ferris do a live and interactive chat around all we’ve been digging into over the past few weeks on “the normal Christian life”, including testimonies, live questions, and a visit from the legendary Steve Frost.
The Baptism In The Holy Spirit 2 - Stir Up The Fire
In part two of this series, Tim continues looking at the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and reminds us that one of our most important roles in this Kingdom family is to tend to the fire of the Holy Spirit in our midst and keep that fire burning bright.
The Baptism In The Holy Spirit - The Entry To The Normal Christian Life
It is critical in this season for the people of God to be positioned according to their design and calling so that we are bringing the Kingdom into every sphere of society. We will never disciple a nation without that. But, before we take our place, we MUST experience the baptism in the holy spirit that John The Baptist and Jesus spoke of. Tim introduces the foundations of this experience and the transformation it brings.
The Ekklesia and The Normal Christian Life
The world is more than a little crazy right now, and more than ever, the church needs to rise up and be the Ekklesia that Jesus spoke of and said He would build. Tim looks at two areas that are foundational to us rising into all that we are destined to be, and to become the disciplers of nations the Jesus intended.
The World's On Fire - What's God Doing?
The world seems to have gone crazy. With so much happening in the world it’s easy to be distracted. It’s critical to look below the surface and understand what is really going on from a Kingdom perspective, so we can pray and cooperate with God’s agenda in the earth. Right now, the battle is over nations, the warfare is economic, and the stakes are higher than ever. The “reset” for the church is less about the “program” when we meet and more about the shift to being the “Ekklesia” that Jesus spoke of and said He would build.
(Note: The broadcast dropped out near the end, and we scrambled and got back online. This is both parts - the whole message. Apologies for the technical issues!)
Pentecost - Dry Bones Come Alive
On Pentecost Sunday, Tim Ferris and Megan Edward tag-team prophetic words and prophetic context for this season. The valley of dry bones was awakened into a mighty army by the breath or wind of God. Pentecost released that same breath/wind that ushered the church into an entirely new and unprecedented day. We’re in unprecedented times, and God is moving in extraordinary ways - shifting us into a new season.
Doing Re-entry the Kingdom Way
Lockdowns and restrictions are starting to ease, and we’re beginning to think about getting back to “normal”. It’s important that we don’t miss the divine reset that this season has been, and go back to life without stopping and considering what “normal” should look like. Debbie and Tim tag-team to talk to us about sorting our schedules and ordering our world so that we “seek first the Kingdom”.
The Power Of Your Yes - Matt Beckenham
Our dear friend Matt Beckenham speaks to us on the power of your yes. Looking at “the man formerly known as legion”, not even a thousand demons could stop one man’s yes to Jesus. Matt finishes with some prophetic ministry.
The Goodness of God - Steve Frost
If the goodness of God is so expansive, you MUST be included in that. “The goodness of God breaks our addiction to white-knuckled self-striving.”. In this timely message, Steve Frost reminds us that the goodness of God is far greater than any challenge we face right now, and should be the anchor that gives our soul peace and rest.
God's Dream
No matter what is happening in the world, God has a dream for you and for your life - and it’s no different in this season. In this message, Debbie encourages us to lean into God’s dream for us personally, and for our community and our region during this time. God releases His dreams through us, so let’s cooperate with what He is doing and building.
Cooperating With The Reset
This season we’re in has been called a “divine reset” by some senior prophetic people. Tim gives us 3 key messages on how to cooperate with what God is doing in this season. Everything that was prophesied earlier this year about 2020 still stands - God knew what was coming, and maybe this season is actually meant to position you FOR that increase rather than being a delay FROM it. It’s important that we don’t just go back to business as usual, but allow God to make clear HIS priorities for our advancement into all He has promised, then for us to rebuild our lives around those priorities.
Resurrection Power Versus The Most Fatal Virus
On Easter Sunday, Tim reminds us of the resurrection power of Jesus that lives inside us, and it’s our job to learn how to live in that power, rather than to “avoid the virus”.
Demolishing Fear
One of the key features of the corona virus pandemic is the prevalence of fear. That’s not the spirit that we have been given. Tim gives us 3 keys to demolish fear and undermine any chance it has in our life. Ministry into the breaking of fear and torment follows.
The Breaker Anointing - Maria Mason
As we kick off week 2 of our corporate fast we’re contending for corporate breakthrough as a church. Our dear friend Maria Mason from The Tribe Byron Bay ministers on the breaker anointing. There is always greater levels of His presence available to us, and it’s our job to contend for the greater levels of breakthrough. God put His Spirit on us, and it’s up to us, individually and in community, to stir up that breaker anointing. (Prophetic ministry for first 26 minutes, then message begins.)
Breakthrough and Divine Strategy
In the first week of our three week fast, we’re pursuing personal breakthrough and upgrade. When we’re praying for breakthrough, we often pray like we’re expecting God to do some miraculous work outside of us that just “happens”. Often what God wants to do is answer our prayer by giving us a strategy to co-labour with Him to bring about the breakthrough we are praying for. This week, don’t just pray for breakthrough. Listen for divine strategy.
A Key To Breakthrough
Why is it that some people are able to shift some things that others can’t seem to. Obviously Jesus was able to shift things that others couldn’t, but He never pointed to His divinity as the reason. In this message, Tim looks at the practice of fasting by looking at two different situations, and the breakthrough that came through fasting.
Prophetic Outlook for 2020
Tim looks at the key prophetic themes for 2020 and beyond, gathering from our own prayer & prophetic process at i61, and also from key trusted prophetic voices around the world. There’s a fresh consecration required for a fresh season, where suddenlies, acceleration, and an increase in the supernatural are to be expected.
The Process of Prophetic Fulfilment
The normal Christian life is absolutely and continually governed by the voice of God. And we know that no word spoken by God is without power (Luke 1:37). Why then do so many of us live with unfulfilled prophetic words, promises, and dreams. Jesus gives us a clear answer to this. Tim unpacks one of the most important Kingdom parables of Jesus - the parable of the sower, and helps us find Kingdom keys that will undermine disappointment and see us walk into everything God has promised us.
The Waiting Season
If you have unfulfilled prophetic words or dreams, then this message from Deb is for you. Too many people abort their destiny because they don’t know how to walk the critical journey between promise and fulfillment. Learning to do the waiting season is one of the greatest immunisations against bitterness and disappointment.
Fire Falls On Sacrifice
Tim & Debbie set the foundation for 2020. Our world is more divided than ever right now, and it’s easy to claim “God is on our side”, but He is showing up, like He did with Joshua, and asking us a critical question. At the start of a new year, we come back to the priority of His presence, and the truth that if we want the fire of God to move in our midst, we need to be the sacrifice that brings the fire. We prophetically commissioned our youth as ministers of fire.
