The Secret of Spiritual Power
by Chip Brogden
The way of the world says that in order to be stronger, we must build ourselves up and seek strength and dominance over others.
 
Christians everywhere are keenly interested in how to be increased, how to be stronger, how to take authority, how to rise up, how to get more. They look for methods, formulas, and techniques for becoming bigger and better. The results have been disappointing. Many mistakes have been made and many people have been hurt and disillusioned.

The Lord has a different approach for us to take. He invites us to accept weakness in order to be strengthened. We do not become strong by embracing strength, but by embracing weakness! This is the secret of all spiritual power. When Paul learned this secret he was able to say, “When I am weak, then I am strong” (II Corinthians 12:10b). This makes no sense to the natural man. I do not remember ever hearing anyone begin a teaching on spiritual warfare with this verse. It is no wonder, then, that these teachings never seem to produce any lasting fruit...

Hello Elaine,
 
I watched a video on Facebook last week.
 
Usually not a good thing for me to do.
 
In this case, it was a sort of documentary video about a church that shall remain nameless but one that I used to be associated with.
 
They were touting something miraculous that God was doing - touching people's lives and all that.
 
Curiously, I watched the video only to discover that the "miracle" was nothing more than a new addition to their church building.
 
Or, maybe they are tearing one building down to build another.
 
I don't know, because once I realized what I was seeing, I lost interest and stopped watching.
 
It made me kind of sick. And sad.
 
I saw the same thing in Costa Rica: A big, purple, church building just across the street from a Nicaraguan refugee camp.
 
On one side of the street, people are talking about reaching the world for Jesus (i.e., getting them to come to their Big Purple Church Building).
 
On the other side of the street, hundreds of people living in huts made of spare boards and sheet metal scraps.
 
Things like this STILL drive me up the wall.
 
Yes, religious people attach a great deal of significance to their building.
 
And instead of measuring their growth by "less of me and more of Jesus," they measure growth by counting nickels, noses, and the square footage of the building.
 
Amazing when you consider that *ahem* the early Christians didn't build church buildings.
 
They understood that the Temple was a symbol fulfilled in Christ.
 
As with all Scriptural symbols, there is a “natural” and a “spiritual” application.
Scripture reveals seven temples, each one unique, but each one similar, each communicating the same prophetic sign.
 
What do they mean?
 
What do they represent?
 
What is the prophetic and spiritual significance of the temple archetype?
 
We revealed the first temple last week - and for many, it was a pleasantly surprising and unexpected place to begin, but it makes sense.
 
This journey through Scripture is intended to help you rediscover a surprising truth: That “we” (you) are the Temple that God is building for Himself.
 
But to understand and appreciate the significance of that wonderful mystery, we have to visit each temple in turn.
 
So, join us this week as we reveal Temple #2...

The Fellowship of His Body
by Chip Brogden
“Now all of you together are Christ’s body, and each one of you is a separate and necessary part of it” (1 Cor. 12:27, NLT).
 
We have said that Christ calls us as individual disciples and the Holy Spirit then works with each of us personally. Now we see how the individual disciples are brought together to form His Body. Each retains their uniqueness, yet there is something among each of them that is common to all. There are different members in different places with different purposes: each distinctive but each working together, united beneath the same great Purpose and Intention of God, working under the direction of the Head like a great spiritual symphony...

Hello Elaine,
 
Would you like to join me on an "Indiana Jones" type of adventure?
 
You don't need a passport.
 
You don't even need to leave your house. :-)
 
All you need is a Bible and an Internet connection!
 
Because this week we begin a new teaching series where we dive into the Scriptures and explore the 7 Temples of God.
 
(Yes, there are 7 of them.)
 
We'll kickoff the series this week with a look at the Biblical archetype of the TEMPLE.
 
What is a temple?
 
What does it mean?
 
What is the prophetic significance?
 
What is the practical application?
 
Then, we'll begin exploring what the Bible says and "visit" each of the 7 Temples mentioned in Scripture.
 
And by the time you are finished, you will have a comprehensive understanding of God's eternal purpose and plan in Christ.
 
Sound exciting?
 
Join us this week as we reveal Temple #1 (it's not what you think, I promise you).

6-part audio teaching series now available
online for "whatever you can afford."
 
LISTEN NOW
 https://www.chipbrogden.com/4-essential-attributes/
 
The 4 Essential Attributes of God describes the basic four characteristics that make God GOD; from this foundation, we can establish that God is Great, and that God is Good.
 
We can know God because God desires to make Himself known, and has revealed Himself through the ages. “Eternal life” is knowing God through Christ “as He in fact is” – not as we think, wish, dream, or hope He is, and certainly not as religion has made Him out to be. Remember as we proceed with this study that “the purpose of revelation is not to substantiate your illusions, but to eliminate them.”
 
Just listen or download it from this link:
https://www.chipbrogden.com/4-essential-attributes/
 
 
Listen as you wish. Share as you like. Give as you can.

Hello Elaine,
 
This week's online Bible study is happening WEDNESDAY night (instead of Thursday night) in observing of Thanksgiving Day in the U.S.
 
I give thanks to God, even thought I know for a FACT that in my country, and in every country, not everything is happening according to God's perfect will.
 
This is why we pray daily: "Your Will be done, on earth as in heaven."
 
This is why we give thanks - not FOR everything, but IN everything (1 Thess. 5:18).
 
I don't thank God for the evil, violence, and wickedness of this world. 
 
I don't accept this as part of God bringing something good out of everything - God doesn't need evil to show His goodness.
 
God's greatness and goodness is seen in overcoming evil with good and eliminating evil from His creation.
 
Over and above all this chaos, God is working (together with us) to put an end to evil once and for all.
 
Omnibenevolence means that God is not just all-powerful, all-knowing, and always-present; He is also infinitely good.
 
He is both able and willing.
 
Without this, we would always be unsure of “where we stood” in relation to this all-powerful God.
 
But how do we "harmonize" these essential attributes?
 
For example, how do we balance God's holiness and justice with His mercy and grace?
 
How do we reconcile God's wrath with God's love?
 
How do we make sense of God's goodness in the context of a world gone mad?
 
This week we will do something that doctors of religion, philosophers, and wise men of this world are unable to do - we will make sense of these seeming contradictions.

Hello Elaine,
 
If you don't know the difference between "God-fearing" and "being afraid of God" then...
 
(1) You don't understand the King James Bible and should try a different one.
 
- or -
 
(2) You are still in bondage to a fear-based Religion.
 
Probably both. :-)
 
Join us tonight and get some clarity.

Hello Elaine,
 
We have been exploring the essential attributes of God.
 
God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and always present.
 
These are tremendous - but there is ONE THING that makes God Who He is.
 
This ONE THING is greater than all the other three combined.
 
Without this ONE THING God, as we know Him, could not be.
 
What is this ONE THING?
 
God is Omnibenevolent - that is, He is perfect and unlimited in His goodness.
 
Without THAT, God would still be all-powerful, all-knowing, and always present - but you would never be sure whether God was for you, or against you.
 
Out of fear, you might create a religion designed around appeasing this all-powerful, all-seeing, always present God so He would not get mad and destroy you - perhaps you could persuade Him to bless you and give you things instead.
 
Well, that is precisely what all religions have been created for - including the Christian religion, "Churchianity."
 
In Churchianity we learn that sinners are in the hands of an "angry God" Who would just as soon burn you to a crisp as look at you.
 
Of course, this angry God is happy with us Christians - so long as we believe in Jesus, read the Bible, pray, go to church, pay our tithes, submit to the pastor, and keep all the rules and regulations of the Institutional Church.
 
And if we don't, watch out - because the "angry God" is coming for you, too.
 
The Roman Catholic church has used these fear tactics to control KINGS AND KINGDOMS for 2000 years.
 
The Protestant church uses these fear tactics on a smaller scale, but with equal damage.
 
The problem is that Religion ignores the most critical attribute of God: His omnibenevolence.
 
As a result, fear-based Religion gets in the way of a love-based Relationship.
 
When that happens, FEAR (not faith) governs our lives.
 
We use fear to get people saved.
 
We use fear to keep people attending church.
 
We use fear to get to people submit, obey, believe, and support.
 
The way out of this fear-based religion (besides not attending and support it) is getting to know God AS HE IS - and especially His omnibenevolence.
 
God is perfect and unlimited in His goodness, holiness, and love!
 
What a relief!
 
This brings perfect balance to all His other attributes and helps us transcend the fear-based religion that ruled our lives for so many years.
 
We will explore this in more detail at this week's online Bible study...

The Last Exodus
by Chip Brogden
Many people are beginning to see the truth. They are beginning to see that there is a called-out remnant of people – a “Church in the Wilderness” that God is separating and calling out of Organized Religion.
 
And this is not a mere reaction to being hurt, or rejected, or just being rebellious. It is actually the fulfillment of a prophetic sequence of events that has already been established in the Scriptures and in the history of the nation of Israel. It is the final calling out of a remnant of Overcomers who will bear the Testimony of Jesus and stand for the preeminence of Christ in all things as we prepare for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ and for the inevitable judgment upon those who claim to represent Him, but do not...

Hello Elaine,
 
Can you resist God?
Yes, you can.

You can even limit the omnipotent God through unbelief and rebellion.
 
You just can't resist Him forever.
 
His longsuffering (patient love) can outlast the most stubborn sinner.
 
In the same way, can you run from God?
 
Yes, of course you can.
 
Many people do.
 
But you cannot hide from God.
 
He's bigger than you.
 
He sees you.
 
He knows you.
 
Jonah tried to run from God... and how did that turn out?
 
Personally, I would rather cooperate with God than try to run from God and get swallowed by a great big fish.
 
But either way, God knows where you live.
 
He knows where you are.
 
That can be frightening, or it can be comforting.
 
The truth is that God's presence is intended to be a comfort, not a curse.
 
Thankfully, we cannot resist Him or run away from Him forever.
 
He fills heaven and earth with His presence!
 
We will explore this in this week's online Bible study...

Entering His Rest
by Chip Brogden
I come into contact with a great number of people who are coming out of the religious system, and they are usually full of a lot of anxiety and excitement.
 
When they ask me for advice, I counsel them to take a year off and “do nothing” for awhile. What I mean is, religion has kept you doing, doing, doing for God. There needs to be a season of rest. You need to experience a Sabbath day and just “be” with Jesus in terms of spiritual activity. Oh yes, that sounds so nice, but I have seldom met anyone who could do it. They come out of church, and before you know it they start a home church, or they go looking for fellowship with others, or they get restless and end up going back to church where things are more familiar. The idea of just being with Jesus and resting for awhile is completely foreign to their understanding.

Hello Elaine,
 
Did you know that even an ALL-POWERFUL God can be limited?
 
People mistake "all powerful" to mean "can do anything."
 
In fact, there are three primary ways that God's omnipotence is limited (at least, temporarily!).
 
And that's not a contradiction - once you see it :-)

Hello Elaine,
 
A few years ago (back when I still traveled to teach) I was speaking at a small gathering and I noticed a brother on the front row, shaking his head vigorously back and forth, as if he were disagreeing with me - except he was smiling.
 
I stopped and asked him why he was smiling and shaking his head.
 
"Because God isn't who I thought He was," the brother said. "He is Who He is!"
 
Now, that's a word of wisdom.
 
That's what God means when He says, "I AM." 
 
Not as we think He is.
 
Not as we hope He is.
 
Not as we imagine Him to be.
 
Certainly not as "Religion" has made God out to be.
 
But God IS Who He is.
 
"I AM."
 
This is why I have observed that: "The purpose of revelation is not to substantiate your illusions about God, but to eliminate them."
 
Religion is based on an ILLUSION of God - who God is, what God wants, what God requires, what pleases God, what displeases God.
 
Ironically, there are over 45,000 different opinions (denominations) about who God is and what makes God happy.
 
Once we leave all the garbage behind, we should be eager and excited to become DIS-ILLUSIONED... to rid ourselves of all our illusions and finally see God for Who He is, without the filter of the religious system getting in the way.
 
Ironically, the ones most unhappy are the ones so in love with their ILLUSIONS they they are unwilling to see the truth or face reality.
 
There is another name for "denying reality" - it's called insanity!
 
Spiritually speaking, it means we can spend years going through the motions of Churchianity and base our knowledge of God on all sorts of illusions, half-baked ideas, and downright lies and deceptions. 
 
To know Him AS HE IS begins with realizing how little of Him you know - and how much you need to un-learn.
 
But step by step we will get there.
 
And this week, we will explore Who God IN FACT is, as revealed in Christ and in the Scriptures.

Hello Elaine,

I have observed that "disappointment with God" is not really disappointment with God at all - it is simply that feeling of frustration we get when the "God" we created in our own mind fails to live up to our unrealistic, unbiblical expectations of Who He is and what He is supposed to do.
 
Too many people create a mental image of God in their head, or blindly accept what the Church tells them, and this sets them up for disappointment.
 
Is there way to understand - and possibly define - Who God REALLY is?
 
On the one hand, to think that we can fathom God is somewhat like an ant trying to fathom human beings.
 
But on the other hand, while we have made no effort at all to make ourselves known to the ants, God has gone out of His way to make Himself known to us!
 
For that reason, I believe we CAN know Who God is, because He has revealed Himself to us in different ways so that He CAN be known.
 
That capacity to know Him is there because He breathed something of Himself into us from the beginning, making us in His image and in His likeness.
 
And, while God is infinite, there are certain basic elements (what I call "essential attributes") that form a good basis for better knowing, understanding, and relating to God as He in fact IS.
 
Maybe this will help us to better know Him, and to better trust Him, when disappointments come.

The Sad Story of a Wise Old Fool
by Chip Brogden
May I say that all the accomplishments and blessings of a lifetime are worthless if you do not finish well. Running well is important, but finishing well is even more important.

I have stated before, and I repeat: the majority of Christians today are not on track to finish well. They do not run well. In fact, they do not run or advance at all. They sit just inside the Narrow Gate, rejoicing in a future hope and a future salvation, relaxed and comfortable in the knowledge that they have passed through the Gate, so all is well. They are not walking the Path of Christ-centered spiritual growth and maturity. They are content to look backwards to what God was doing in their life twenty, thirty or forty years ago; to what God told them then, what God showed them then. They are nostalgic for the “good old days,” but have no present truth, no fresh clear vision that compels them to keep moving forward, no motivation or incentive to finish well – to finish with joy, to go out with a bang, to be full of fire right up until they take their final breath...

Hello Elaine,

Hello Elaine,
 
Something should be driving us to pray.
 
There should be some unction, some inner compulsion, to seek God, to seek Him early, and to seek Him often.
 
If that is not our daily experience then something is wrong.
 
Perhaps we have grown complacent, or comfortable, or cold.
 
Whatever the reason, vision is the cure.
 
If we have truly seen God’s Purpose we cannot just go along as before. 
 
Daniel has seen the Purpose; Daniel has ordered his life according to that Purpose; and Daniel is in the daily habit of praying for that Purpose to be fulfilled.
 
Something bigger than himself is fueling his prayers.
 
He is daily paying the price, living according to the Truth he claims to agree with, demonstrating the preeminence of Christ, showing that “the heavens do rule.” 
 
So in him we see the Remnant Principle.
 
This week we conclude this series with the most important takeaways for us today - because the time in which we live is just as perilous as the time in which Daniel live.
 
Will you join us?

Is Christian Unity Possible?
by Chip Brogden
Jesus prayed for a spiritual unity in Him first and foremost. From there anything is possible, even deep relationships and fellowship with others.
 
But that can only happen when your spiritual life is founded upon a deep, abiding belief in three core principles. There can be no compromise with these three basic truths...

Hello Elaine,
 
The “first year of Darius” marks the end of Babylon and the beginning of a concentrated effort on the behalf of Daniel to fast and pray for the return of the Jews back to Jerusalem, for the rebuilding of the Temple, and for the coming of the Messiah, the Christ.
 
Daniel was so urgent in this that he withdrew three times a day to pray.
 
But whenever you decide to turn your face away from the earthly and towards the heavenly, towards the face of the Lord, you touch spiritual conflict.
 
It is a battle to get into prayer, and a battle to stay in prayer.

So it is not coincidental that an edict outlawing prayer is suddenly proclaimed in the first year of Darius.
 
As soon as Daniel rises up to pray for the fulfillment of God’s Purpose, the enemy responds by threatening his life.
 
The spirit of Antichrist is once again directly challenging the Remnant, threatening to destroy it, in an attempt to frustrate God’s Purpose.
 
Whatever your present situation, difficulties, or challenges, you will also experience spiritual conflict if you try to do the right thing.
 
The easiest thing to do is to give up, give in, go along to get along.
 
The Lord needs people willing to stand firm and be strong in the power of the Lord.
 
You may not be facing a literal lion's den, but your adversary the devil is walking around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
 
So we're not going to give him one inch of ground to get an advantage over us!
 
Join us for encouragement and wisdom from the Scriptures as we consider these things...

The Cure for "Prophetic Pains"
by Chip Brogden
 I can quickly relate a dozen experiences I’ve had with flaky people (both men and women) who thought they were “prophetic.” 
 
They always show up at my meetings and want to pray for me. Then they always think they “see” something wrong with me, or they want to give me a “word.” And they are always off the mark.

This used to bother and upset me – now, I try to have a little fun with it.
One lady gave me the great revelation that there was something “wrong with my heart.”
 
“Really? What is it?” I asked.
 
She looked around and leaned in close to me…
