i61 and The Kingdom Season

In our first corporate gathering for 2022, Tim opens up our core Scripture - Isaiah 61 - to remind us of the calling on us as a house, and set our calling in the context of a global strategic prophetic word from Chris Reed from Morningstar, and explained by Mike Bickle from IHOP Kansas City. We have been divinely positioned and prepared “for such as time as this”. Tim calls us to be bold in asking Jesus to touch us and move on us so that our lives truly become “a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendour.”

Fruits, Roots, and the Competition In Your Garden

Unbelief is not “the lack of faith”. It is a substance - a weed growing in our garden. When Jesus healed the boy with the mute spirit in Mark 9, the boy’s father said, “I believe. Help my unbelief.” He had two trees growing in his garden. One that believed Jesus, and one that battled to. When we have “stuff” in our life that is less than what scripture promises, it is evidence that more than one tree is growing in our garden. Jesus wants to deal with the tree at the root. In this season, dreams in the night are increasing, and God is revealing the root of our fruit, and giving us keys for advancement.

It's Time For Faith To Build

It’s not hard for a global event of COVID-19’s magnitude to throw us off centre a bit. There has been grace for that. Now the season is turning. It’s time to stop thinking just about survival and start thinking about advancement. Tim reminds us that there is a kind of faith that attracts the realm of heaven to our situation. It’s time to start building that kind of faith and re-orient ourselves back toward our Kingdom assignment.

Fear, Division, and Famous For Love

There is so much opportunity to be offended right now. So much division in the air. So easy to judge those who see things differently to us. Yet, we have been given a mission to show the world what love really is. Tim exhorts us to continue to grow in mature love. If we can only love those we agree with, the problem is us rather than them. In a world that is deeply divided, God want us to be famous for our love!

Coming Out Of Lockdown-itis

We are in unusual times, and it is so easy to get pre-occupied with everything that is going on around us - what the government is doing, whether people are vaccinating, masking, cooperating, protesting, and so on the list goes. John chapter 5 gives us some keys to stay away from victim thinking, to stay powerful, and to cooperate with what The Father is doing in this time to build His Kingdom.

The World You Cultivate Inside

Proverbs 23:7 says, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” Our heart thinks! We are learning to respond to the voice of the Spirit of Adoption, but we undermine that voice if we cultivate something different on the inside. We need to pay attention to our internal atmosphere - the things we have playing on repeat inside us. We know the Kingdom is established in us when our internal world is dominated by peace and joy.

Prophetic Ministry - The Spirit of Adoption

Debbie leads us in a time of prophetic ministry and prayer for healing, then Tim follows on from two weeks ago and ministers into the spirit of adoption - that voice from The Father that chases away fear. The language that The Father speaks isn’t just about the words spoken. The nature of the voice - it’s tone, it’s essence brings with it the touch of His presence. It’s this voice that allows us to be connected back to the child-like fire at the core of our true identity.

Mature Love and the Spirit of Rejection

Ephesians 4 tells us that we are pursuing mature love - the fullness of Christ. There is a spirit that is rife in Australia culture that wars against mature love - the spirit of rejection. Tim unpacks how the spirit of rejection gets a hold in us, how it operates, and how The Father wants to bring healing to our rejection wounds and connect us back to our core identity.

The i61 Vision and The Ministry of Jesus

i61 Church was birthed out of the message of Isaiah 61, which prophetically describes and declares the ministry of Jesus. Tim and Debbie take today to unpack this prophetic passage to describe the blueprint for i61 that God dropped on them back in 2012. We cannot settle for anything less than ALL that Jesus came to do, for our own sake, and for the sake of the world around us, who need to encounter with the authentic Jesus.

Stay In The Fire

It’s the start of week three of our 21 prayer and fasting season. Fasting seasons have a tendency to reveal what’s happening in our heart. When our normal “comforters” that silence our heart aren’t there, our heart starts to let us know how it’s doing. Tim looks at a story in Acts 28 that illustrates what to do in “fire seasons” when stuff comes to the surface so that we are transformed people. It takes transformed people to transform cities and nations.

Rebuilding Ruined Cities

Today begins our “Saturate” season - 3 weeks of prayer, fasting, and pursuing Him with laser focus. In week 1 we pursue our own personal breakthrough and upgrade. Tim and Debbie speak and minister into the “ruined cities” spoken of in Isaiah 61. God wants to heal those “ruined” places in our life that have been devastated for generations, so that you can become a restorer to the world around you.

What Are You Building?

In our first in-person gathering in nearly 10 months, Tim kicks off 2021 with the core question of “What is your life building toward? Are you just living, or are you BUILDING?” This is the year to do whatever needs to be done, and deal with whatever needs to be dealt with, so that we can be intentional and active in building His Kingdom in line with our Kingdom assignment.

The Exposing

Since 2017, one thing (among many) that God has been doing is “exposing” - works of darkness and things that are out of order have been brought into the light. That is intensifying in this season. Globally, we need to be on the side of truth, and praying that every hidden thing would be brought into the light. Personally, 2020 has had the effect of exposing the true condition of our heart - especially in relation to our prophetic destiny. 2 Chronicles 20:20 has been, and is, a defining Scripture for 2020.

The Nature of Mature Love - Part 2

The Father is taking us on a journey of helping us grow up - particularly in the realm of maturing love. We know from 1 John 4:18 that the RESULT of mature love is that it chases away fear. But what is the NATURE of mature love? In part 2 of this message, Tim makes some more comparisons between immature and mature love, and then minister’s into a fresh revelation of the love of the Father - a fresh awakening of first love.

The Nature of Mature Love - Part 1

We’ve all been raised by imperfect love, so it’s no wonder that at times we fear, but, it’s important we don’t stay there. The Father is taking us on a journey of helping us grow up - particularly in the realm of maturing love. We know from 1 John 4:18 that the RESULT of mature love is that it chases away fear. But what is the NATURE of mature love? Tim makes 3 comparisons between immature and mature love and then prays for us that God would lead us to a massive love upgrade so that we can be a Kingdom family that shows the world what love really is.

Getting Established - Getting Mature

The word “established” is standing out prophetically right now. There’s a number of different “establishings” that scripture talks about. Today, Tim focuses on “being established in love”. Once we are established, God has ordered the body with apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, and evangelists, with the purpose that we may then mature - grow up. We all need spiritual mothers and fathers in our life for us to properly mature. It’s the tribe of Kingdom people that have secure love on the inside which manifests in mature love on the outside - to those around us. It’s that kind of love that will heal a community, a city, a nation.
