The Foolishness of the Cross
by Chip Brogden
How I wish taking up the Cross was a once-and-for-all thing, that you could just crucify Self and give the thing you are grasping over to God, get the imprint of the Cross on it, and receive it back in three days in its resurrected form.
But there is always a deeper death to die and a greater Life to come forth from death, so I find the process must be constantly repeated.

A ministry (or more importantly, the minister) will pass through many seasons of death, burial, and resurrection. But even in this I see that He does not turn “taking up the Cross” into a work of the flesh, and does not reject our feeble attempts to do what we think is right, even when we are wholly or partially motivated by flesh...

Hello Elaine,

Yes, there is more to the Spirit-filled life than spiritual gifts!
For the last several months we've explored the ministry of the Holy Spirit and looked at the role of spiritual gifts.
But there is more.

We come now to another critical role of the Holy Spirit, which is, to provide "wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ."

It is the Spirit Who leads us into all Truth (Christ).

It is the Spirit Who takes what belongs to Christ and reveals it to us.

it is the Spirit Who brings to our remembrance everything Jesus taught.

Together with the spiritual gifts, the wisdom and revelation of the Holy Spirit sets us on a path of spiritual growth, maturity, and fruitfulness.

Just as COOPERATING with the Holy Spirit facilitates spiritual gifts, so COOPERATING with the Holy Spirit facilitates wisdom and revelation.

Of course, the question is...

HOW do we cooperate with the Holy Spirit in such a ways as to receive wisdom and revelation, overcome obstacles of doubt and fear, and create spiritual breakthroughs that move mountains?

We'll explore this in greater depth at this week's online Bible study...

All Things in Christ
by Chip Brogden
May God deliver us from our own idea, concept, perception, and illusion of a small Christ and give us revelation into the preeminence of His Son.
I promise that if you will read through these verses once or twice a day, every day, it will be impossible for you to remain unaffected by the Truth they present! I am affected just in the preparation of this material, and how much more in the application and apprehending of it!
When we see Christ as All in All then it will be impossible for us to ever again be reduced to the small, the trivial, the petty things which occupy us and waste so much of our time. Our only hope is seeing a Christ that fills us, a Christ that is greater than us, a Christ that is larger than we can fathom, an indescribable Christ that overshadows, overwhelms, and consumes us through and through...

No one can tell me "tongues are not for today" or "the gifts of the Spirit are not for today." That's like telling me "breathing is not for today." LOL!



But it seems like such a STRANGE gift.



Why tongues?

Hello Elaine,
When I was 12 years old, someone laid hands on me and I was filled with the Holy Spirit.
How do I know?
Because I ended up on the floor, crying and praising God in a language I had never learned!

Was it a momentary fit of hysteria?

Well, I've been speaking, praying, and singing in tongues for 40 years since - so if this is "hysteria" then it's the only case I know of that has lasted this long!

Am I saying everyone MUST speak in tongues like me?

Of course not. The Spirit moves as He wills.
But you cannot tell me "tongues are not for today" or "the gifts of the Spirit are not for today." That's like telling me "breathing is not for today."

Just because you haven't experienced something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

I'm living proof it's real (and of course, I'm not the only one).

Yes, there is a lot of bad teaching and misunderstanding around speaking in tongues.
Yes, some people might even be faking it. So what?
We can go to Scripture and see that the early Believers also spoke in tongues.

Sometimes they went about it the wrong way (like in Corinth), but they were at least open to being taught so they could grow and mature in their use of their gift without denying them or quenching them altogether.

Need some clarity on how this works and what it's for?
Join us Thursday night as we discuss tongues and interpretation of tongues...

Lonely, But Never Alone
by Chip Brogden
The more in tune with the Lord we become, the more dissatisfied and uncomfortable we become with what is being said and done in His Name.
Yet, there is an uncomfortable pause between where we used to be and where we are called to be. It is a lonely time in which we will be misunderstood by many that have not seen what we have seen.

What God is impressing upon many of us who are in-between the church as a building and the church as a lifestyle is how to walk ALONE. We must not forsake the assembling of ourselves together when we are able to do so; yet God would have us learn to fellowship with Christ, even it means to take the lonely path...

The Prophetic Savant
by Chip Brogden
The prophetic savant is a person afflicted with a heavenly autism, making him nearly incapable of normal relations with those around him.
Accused of being aloof, cold, and distant, he is apt to hide himself from people, withdrawing into a world of his own. He never seems to be all “there”. Even if he forces himself to come down to Earth for a moment, those around him may have the sense that there is an unspoken dialogue going on somewhere inside of him, a secret communion carried on beneath the surface that never allows him to be fully “in the moment”.



How do we explain this? As a prophetic savant he sees, hears, and relates to the world differently than the rest of the population. They have not seen what he has seen; they have not heard what he has heard. And so he finds very little camaraderie, very little sympathy or understanding, no one with whom he can open his heart and share his soul, because he no longer speaks the same language, and they no longer speak his. Of course, he may have surface-level exchanges with anyone: he is approachable, not haughty, or high-minded. He may even be personable and likeable. Yet there is something so other-worldly in his demeanor that he is more often frightening than friendly, in spite of his best efforts. He is a spiritual autistic, and no matter how hard you try to know him, he is generally unknowable, and to a certain degree, he resists all attempts to know him...

Post  Admin Tue 12 Sep 2023, 10:40 pm

Hello Elaine,

Why would Paul specifically say, "Despise not prophesyings" (1 Thess. 5:20)?
I believe he wants to encourage the gifts of the Spirit and not have anyone think that "prophecy" is limited to "prophets."

He also encouraged the Corinthians to "desire spiritual gifts, especially prophecy" (1 Cor. 14:1).

And, he said that "you may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted" (1 Cor. 14:31).

You may ALL prophesy one by one!
Isn't that amazing?

So why does most of Churchianity deny spiritual gifts and completely shun them?

Probably because the Spirit has long since left the building (if He was ever really there to begin with).

Meanwhile, a new kind of prophecy has emerged since about the mid-1990s: INTERNET PROPHECY.

People got a computer, dialed in to the Internet, and realized they could publish "THUS SAITH THE LORD!" messages to attract a large readership (many of these sites are still around today).

It is hard NOT to despise THAT kind of prophecy.

Then I realized it isn't really prophecy at all, so it's OK to despise it!

I do despise false words dressed up with "thus saith the Lord" language that contain nothing more than predictions of gloom, doom, disaster, and destruction from false prophets pretending to be the reincarnation of Jeremiah or John the Baptist.

So how do you discern between true and false prophets?

And how does the true gift of prophecy work?

We'll discuss these things (and more) this week...

No Fellowship? No Problem!
by Chip Brogden
You will never truly appreciate or benefit from fellowship until you have learned how to live without it.
There already is a fellowship of saints. It is a spiritual fellowship, and it is based on Christ having the preeminence – not the fellowship having preeminence. All this yearning for fellowship and being with others is the result of being hung-over from the religious system. You’re trying to fill a void that religion used to fill.

The purpose of solitude in the spiritual desert is to get you to see that Jesus is Enough. You’re not going to die from lack of fellowship, but if you don’t learn that Jesus is Enough then spiritually speaking you’re dead already. He’s the One you need to be focused on – not starting a fellowship, not finding a home group, not making something happen with other people.

And already I can hear the “yeah buts”...

Hello Elaine,

(I should probably save this for the teaching, but most of you will not attend the teaching, so I'll say it here...)

Why don't we see more healings and miracles today?

Why don't we see more gifts of the Spirit?

Not because "they aren't for today" - that is a lazy, wimpy excuse.

The reason we don't see them more is because of DOUBT AND UNBELIEF and because we have a MENTAL RELIGION instead of a LOVE RELATIONSHIP.

Sorry to be so blunt, but when the disciples asked why they couldn't cast out the demon, Jesus said, "BECAUSE OF YOUR UNBELIEF" (Mt. 17:19,20).

Not because of some big theological reason.
Not because the devil was too strong.

Not because it wasn't God's Will.

It was just a simple lack of FAITH - an inability or refusal to TRUST that God is Who He says He is and that God will do what He says He will do!

Jesus didn't blame the sick for their lack of faith to be healed, either; He called out His disciples for THEIR lack of faith (all the TV preachers get that wrong).

Instead of asking why God doesn't do more things more often, we should be asking why we have such a hard time believing God to do the impossible.

Ultimately, it's not God's lack of power, but our lack of belief, that quenches the Holy Spirit from doing all that He wishes to do.
The real miracle is that God is able to do anything at all, given our lack of faith!

If this bears witness and you want to hear more, join us this week as we elaborate on the gifts of the Spirit...

Chip Brogden.

Hello Elaine,
 
I lost another one.

She only lasted a few days.

As soon as she found out I believe in the gifts of the Spirit, she bailed.

In her words: "I'm 1000% against it."

No Scriptural support for her opinion.

Not even a conversation about it.

Why do people resist the Holy Spirit?

Why are people so adamant that "that isn't for today"?

Who told you it wasn't for today?

You know there are counterfeit bills in circulation... but I'm not going to throw away my money just because there is the possibility of getting a fake $100 bill!

This is the kind of ignorance Scripture tries to protect us from:

"Concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you be ignorant."

"Follow love and desire spiritual gifts."

"You may all prophesy one by one."

"Do not forbid to speak in tongues."

What do we do with those Scripture if they are "not for today?

Join us as we put away childish things and go on to maturity!

It's a Wonderful Life!
by Chip Brogden
God is Love, Light, and Life. These are the most profound words in the Scriptures. The writings of John are the writings of a man who is spiritually mature. He has found a way to express the inexpressible, a method of summing up all that God is. 
You will never get to the bottom of these depths. You will never see all the way to the end of it. I want to talk about that Life for a moment. God has dealt with me for many years on the subject of His Life, and I have written much about Life and spoken much about Life. Even so, I hardly know what I’m talking about. I have barely scratched the surface. Friends, you have no idea what is yours! The same Life which raised Jesus from the dead is contained there within you! It brought the world into being, and it holds the world together. This Life overcomes sin, death, and hell. We have the Life because we have the Son. He that has the Son has Life! YOU HAVE THE VERY LIFE OF GOD HIMSELF.

Brothers and sisters, why do we – how can we – sit around day in and day out, week in and week out, month after month, year after year, content with just barely getting by, fighting with each other all the time, struggling with the same old besetting sins, arguing over the same old man-made doctrines, rehashing the same old arguments, listening to the same old crusty hand-me-down sermons? We have bigger things to discuss! Dear man, dear woman, if Christ is yours then you are filled with LIFE! And if you will yield to that Life, it will transform you and overwhelm you, eclipsing your selfishness, molding and shaping you into the very image of Him Who has called you! Isn’t that more exciting?

Hello Elaine,
 
By raising your awareness I hope to empower you to cooperate with the ministry of the Holy Spirit, especially when it comes to spiritual gifts - whether blessing others with your gift or learning to receive others in their gift.
 
Join us this week as we consider how these gifts work in the "real world" (not in the "church world")...

Hello Elaine,
One of the biggest surprises in last week's teaching was to see how the Holy Spirit flows through us with spiritual gifts in ways that we are not even aware of.

The Word of Wisdom is a wonderful example of just such a gift.

In the first place, we have to move beyond the misunderstanding that spiritual gifts only "flow" within the four-walls of a Pentecostal church meeting.

We saw several examples of the Word of Wisdom in the Book of Acts, and I also shared a few examples from my personal experience.

Many responded to confirm their experience with the Word of Wisdom.

The "surprise" is that what often comes disguised as a "good word" or "sound advice" or "interesting viewpoint" is sometimes a Word of Wisdom specifically for you.

At other times, you are not the recipient, but the giver of a Word of Wisdom, and you don't even realize it.

We are often tempted to let these little revelations go in one ear and out the other; by raising awareness we can cooperate with those Spirit-inspired directions.

Join us this week as we consider the next spiritual gift - similar and related, but unique enough to be a different gift altogether...

A Convenient Cult
by Chip Brogden
Many are responding to this call to go “up to Jerusalem” and out of Babylon, out of Churchianity, out of Organized Religion.
 As a result, all the Jeroboams of this world are in a state of consternation! How can we prevent this mass exodus of people from leaving our churches? Jeroboam’s concern is not for the people. His concern is not for the Lord, or for what the Lord requires. Jeroboam’s concern is only for self-preservation: the safeguarding of his leadership, the continuance of his kingdom, the prolongation of his own life.

 

The solution he came up with was quite resourceful. He created what I am calling “A CONVENIENT CULT.” This convenient cult has three characteristics: 1) a convenient place; 2) a convenient priesthood; and 3) a convenient feast to bind the worshippers together. Let us look at each one particularly, and see if we can find a prophetic application to the time and season that we are a part of...

Hello Elaine,
 
Often, the Holy Spirit is flowing through us and exercising spiritual gifts without us even realizing it - out in the "real world" of everyday problems and difficulties.

I'll share many Scriptural examples of this tonight...

Hello Elaine,

If you have been subscribed to my list for longer than a few months you may remember me asking for prayer regarding a family situation with my daughter and grandson.

The court has ordered her to move back to New York this month.

We were warned this might happen. It's not the outcome we wanted. Nevertheless, we are making those arrangements now.

Please continue to pray for Divine Intervention in this situation, that the simmering legal mess would become more favorable.

Also, please pray for safety from her abuser, and supernatural provision as she sets up a new home and looks for a new job.

Even though this isn't what we wanted, we trust that God will still use it to work out a greater purpose.

Thank you for your encouragement and support.
I am your brother,

Chip Brogden

Hello Elaine,
 
While discussing spiritual gifts, Paul refers to speaking in tongues as "speaking mysteries in the Spirit."

But there should be no mystery about whether or not the gifts of the Spirit are for today!

So long as the Body of Christ (you and I) needs edification, exhortation, and comfort, we need these spiritual gifts.


The challenge is if we have any experience with spiritual gifts at all it is usually in the context of CHURCH.


If you have ever visited or regularly attended a Charismatic church then you have probably witnessed the gifts of the Spirit in operation (setting aside the obvious fact that there are always some counterfeit expressions out there).


But those of us who have traveled "outside the camp" on the belief that WE are the Temple of the Holy Spirit don't need a church service or meeting for the gifts to flow!


Perhaps the church service and the meeting contributes to this pressure to perform. Someone is always giving a "word" in these settings; but what about elsewhere?

I'm saying that if WE are the Temple of the Holy Spirit then WE are not limited to exercising spiritual gifts ONLY in the context of a church service or meeting.


Often, the Holy Spirit is flowing through us and exercising spiritual gifts without us even realizing it - out in the "real world" of everyday problems and difficulties.

If we only have a platform-based, public-performance perspective on spiritual gifts then we have completely missed it.

So it makes sense for us to go back and take a fresh look at how these spiritual gifts flow and view them from an "out-of-church" perspective - because that is where it makes the most difference.

Join us this week for...
