Grace High Quality - Matt Lansdowne

Diana encourages us all to let people into our hearts - so they can see what is truly going on - who we really are. We are meant to lend our strengths to each other - we all have voices to be heard.

Royree spoke over our church that she saw a vast army arising. An apostolic surge - she saw a reflection of the throne over this church, with His grace upon us. However, she reminds us that there is a process to see this worked out in us. This message inspires us to walk through that process.

Matt reminds us that we are either in hiding - behind the fig leaf- or we are hidden in Christ - surrendered to His value He has for me. God has given all of Himself to us, however, we are on a journey to discover Him. God invites us into the depths of who He is. God rules with the heart of a servant, we need to value this and engage in what He loves.

Andy encourages us as a family our priority needs to be pursuing the presence of God. As His family we gather around Him - we are called to encounter His presence. Walking in the family of God is where we will discover our identities.

Karina talks about how God has given us a heart of flesh - not of stone. So often we live out of hearts of stone, like Adam and Eve did separating themselves from God in the garden to self-protect themselves. Not asking God how they should respond. Where hearts of flesh allow themselves to feel the pain or the fear, and through it, hold onto Gods hand and walk with Him. Allowing God to be present, and trusting Him.

Matt reminds us that the truth iswe all have a dream. The devil will send something to intimidate us to keep us from our dreams. He encourages us not to listen to the enemy. To rise up and SILENCE the voice of intimidation and believe in the dream that is on the inside of us.

Most Christians have been wounded by religion. Here Andy sheds light on the journey of healing from what religion communicates to us - "Perform to be approved by God".

Andy shared how today was a day of prophesy fullfilled. Bethel NZ is an Antioch church. He encourages us all to step into the expression of who we are - into freedom. He shares the spiritual principle - "The God we see the most of is the God that will identify us". When we live in doing who we are, it causes doors to open. We are called to shut down the gates of darkness and to be the light in the world. To shine. Let's all arise and express our true selves.

John G Lake said, "the Ministry of the Spirit, is the ministry of the Christian." In this sermon Andy challenges us that we are able ministers, not just of words but of the substance of God.

God wants to make the crooked places straight. Our choices determine how fast it takes us to get to the promise land. We often get to places late because we don't trust God and we take the long way around. All we have to do is trust God, however we are often tempted to lean on our own understanding instead of trusting Him. Sometimes we have to learn to let go so we can hold on. When we let go of trying to make things happen in our own strength (worry), and learn to hold His hand and trust Him in every step of the journey (faith) we will experience His faithfulness.Our fight is to stay holding onto His hand, and while we do this God will fight for us.

Matt challenges us all to follow the call on our lives to owe no one anything except to love them. People will offend and hurt us, sometimes on purpose, sometimes by accident, but regardless of what reason we are to choose love. To give up our rights to hold peoples debt against them. There is life in this decision. When we choose love death is defeated and life will flow. Healing comes.

Andy points out the difference about how we can love people with our whole hearts. Our hearts need a voice. He explains how we often hold back from people so we don't get hurt. It takes bravery and courage to go deeper and truly connect with people. Religion causes our hearts to become calloused and to not be heard. It doesn't allow us to be honest and say how we truly are. However our hearts don't understand "should be's" , our hearts simply "are". We must choose to come out of hiding and let our hearts be seen.

Matt shares that when God became man it changed everything - He brought great exuberant joy to the masses - His coming means He now walks in our shoes with us - Every moment of every day we are God's address - where people can find God and get blessed !

Matt shares how the way we see God affects the way we live our lives. We are created in His image - so whenever we misunderstand God we either relate to Him incorrectly or we avoid Him totally. We cannot reach our full potential. God wants us to know Him unhindered - Jesus is our measure to truly see God - our filter must be Jesus

Diana exhorts us to take off all our blinkers to see our own value. God wants to nurture us into understanding our value. Our worth is not tied up in anything we do but in God and who we are because of Him. He always loves us, He is always good - He is our security. Worthiness is a choice. Our 'if onlys" need to become "I can" and "I am".

Andy encourages us to realize that we have permission to do something great for God. God is releasing His wild inside of us to shake off all that holds us back - the Son came to set us free not tame us. He uses the picture that a ship is safe in harbour - but ships are made for the open ocean.

Andy shares on if we have "I am not .... good enough, worthy enough etc" in our thinking we will not step into the victory God has for us. He challenges us to ask what is our " I am not ...". Once this is exposed we can then destroy it, and are free to step into our 'I am ... a chosen beloved child, a mighty warrior etc" He also teaches us how by faith we need to step in to seeing who God truly is and release this view to the world. Jesus came to remove the impurities surrounding the Name of God - He is our Father. He is a good good Father. His love is greater than anything and is for us!!!
