Chip Brogden CHURCH WITHOUT WALLS

Hi Elaine,

In my previous email I listed the wrong date, but the registration link was correct.

I also received a few emails trying to teach / correct / scold ME before they've even heard the message :-)

Just remember Proverbs 18:13: "To respond to a matter before you hear about it shows foolishness and brings shame."

I say things intentionally to draw out and purge the religious spirits who for some reason are still hanging around.

The foolish will never understand, and thankfully, they are not my responsibility.

But if you love God, love His Word, have an open heart and a teachable spirit, then you are welcome :-)

The online class is TONIGHT:

PROOF:
Carnal Christians Won't Make It to Heaven!

Does that statement shock you? Surprise you? Or just confirm what you already know to be true?

Well, do you believe the Bible?

Everyone doesn't.

I do.

And for years I've been harping about "Relationship, Not Religion."

Still, some can't tell the difference.

Well, the next two chapters of the Book of Revelation (2 and 3) will make it very clear to you.

Knowing the difference between RELATIONSHIP and RELIGION is the difference between life and death in these Last Days.

And yet, no one is talking about it!

They just lightly breeze over these two chapters and ignore all the warnings - I guess because they are so anxious to get on with the exciting chapters where all the sinners get judged.

They automatically assume that all believers are "raptured" and then go to the New Jerusalem and live happily ever after.

"They do err" because they don't know the Scriptures - especially Revelation chapters 2 and 3.

The results of my own study have been shocking and eye-opening.

Only faithful, fruitful believers will be rewarded!

Careless, carnal Christians are going to be in for a rude awakening when they find themselves on the outside, looking in.

Find that hard to believe?

By the time you get finished with these two chapters it will be crystal clear.

Join me for this week's online class as we dig into Chapter 2 and get the true story.

What is the Testimony of Jesus?
by Chip Brogden
The very essence of the prophetic word revolves around the Testimony of Jesus.


The grand finale of Scripture records a great battle between the Overcomers and the Spirit of Antichrist concerning the Testimony of Jesus.


What is the Testimony of Jesus? Why does the prophetic word revolve around this Testimony? Why does this Testimony attract so much rage, spiritual conflict and opposition? And what does it mean to have or to bear this Testimony?

The Purpose of All Ministry
by Chip Brogden
If we wish to evaluate someone who claims to be an apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor or teacher, we can apply this simple test: Is this person centered on Jesus Christ?


And when they do whatever it is that they do (preach, teach, prophesy, sing, plant churches, etc.), does it bring people into a deeper, more experiential knowing of Him?

some may think that kind of test is too severe. Why, if we applied this criteria to every minister and ministry in the world (they say) then we would probably disqualify a majority of workers and works that are doing the Church and mankind a great service. 


Yes, we probably would. Yet in terms of value to the Kingdom of God, if the work is not Christ-centered and does nothing to bring people into a mature relationship with Him then it has no value to God and is worthless in His sight. If we are not preaching Christ then we are preaching something or someone else; and if we are not bringing people into the depths of Jesus with our life and work then we are either leaving them as they are or leaving them worse than when we found them. We become a distraction and a hindrance to the spiritual growth of others...

Hey Elaine,

In our teaching series though the Book of Revelation I've mentioned how people get confused when they study this book.

I think a lot of it has to do with how the book is usually taught.

A lot of teachers will jump right into the chapter-by-chapter study without much of an introduction or context.

I used to do that, too.

But now I think that approach only adds to the confusion - it's like dropping people off in a strange country at night with no map and expecting them to find their way home.

A MAP helps you figure out where you came from, where you are, and where you're going.

And you really need a MAP for navigating the twists and turns of the Book of Revelation.

So that's what we will cover in this week's class:

A Place for the Lord
by Chip Brogden
“Foxes have their dens, and birds have their nests;
but the Son of Man has no where to lay His head."
-Matthew 8:20

How may we prepare a place for the Lord Jesus? What is He searching for? Where is the place of His rest? 

Many of us have traveled “outside the camp” in search of something more in tune with God’s own heart. I believe the most important calling we have is to prepare a place for the Lord Jesus, to give Him somewhere to lay His head. We will find that the purest, simplest expression of the Church is that which satisfies the Lord’s heart and gives Him a place....

Hey Elaine,

What if you were listening to someone speaking in an unknown language?

And what if 5 different people claimed to have the interpretation of that language, and none of them agreed with the other?

Would you be confused?

Would you wonder what the real message is?

Would you wonder why the 5 interpretations are so different?

I would!

Did you know there are at least 5 DIFFERENT WAYS to interpret the Book of Revelation?

No wonder everyone has a different opinion about what it means!

Last week we had a great kickoff to our series on the Book of Revelation...

But before we can dig into the chapter-by-chapter study...

We need to consider each of this 5 methods of interpretation.

- 1 is very, very popular;

- 1 used to be very popular but isn't anymore;

- 1 is trying to make a comeback;

- 1 is pretty rare;

- 1 is probably the closest to the truth but is rarely taught.

All 5 can't be correct, can they?

This Thursday @ 7:00 p.m. Eastern I'm going to share all 5 methods of interpretation with you and discuss the pros and cons of each.

Clear, simple, truth - and then you can judge for yourself which approach is best.

It's going to be fun!

Hey Elaine,

Imagine a large, wooden, locked door.

Behind the door is a room full of treasure.

To get the treasure, all you need is the key to unlock the door.

The problem is: everyone has their own set of keys.

Everyone claims they have the "right" key.

And you try them all, but none of those keys work.

That's the way a lot of people approach the Book of Revelation.

I knew that once I announced this study I would attract people looking for me to confirm that their "keys" are right.

They expect me to talk about blood moons, red heifers, Third Temples, Israel, Planet X, alien invaders, the true identity of the Antichrist, and how everything they see on the news has a chapter and verse in the Book of Revelation.

That is the furthest thing from my mind.

For me to talk about all THAT means I would have to watch Christian television and follow all the Bible prophecy teachers around, lapping up whatever pabulum they regurgitate.

I don't take my cues from what everyone else says.

I don't subscribe to any prophecy lists or discussion groups.

So let me tell you my method of approaching the Book of Revelation - which is the same basic approach I have taken toward every other book of the Bible I have ever taught over the last 30 years...

1. I pray.

2. I study.

3. I write down what God shows me.

4. I share it with people as simply as possible. :-)

I'm sorry if that's not glamourous enough but I'm not trying to impress anyone or create a lot of hype or hysteria.

HOWEVER, I will say this...

What I will share in this series is new - some elements I have not heard anyone else talk about, including me.

At least, out of all the things I have heard about Revelation (back in the day, when I used to listen to all those preachers on television), I haven't heard ANYONE talking about the things I'm going to talk about.

Things so important that I have already made notes about it - so that, just in case I get hit by the proverbial bus tomorrow, someone can publish those notes.

It's that important.

But, assuming the Lord allows such things to be disclosed, I envision a series of classes over several months, as this is not going to be a sprint but a marathon.

Simple, but very, very thorough in the things that MATTER - without getting lost in the minutia of popular opinions that don't.

Well, the whole thing kicks off online this Thursday, June 8, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern with the introduction, where I will reveal THE MASTER KEY to the Book of Revelation.

This is THE KEY that turns the lock and opens the door to the valuable treasure and spiritual wealth contained within this book.

So, this is the introduction... and if you miss THE KEY you'll be outside that locked door, banging your head against it, wondering why the Book of Revelation is "so hard to understand."

Join us... already we have a few hundred people registered for this, so if you haven't registered yet, please do so now (it's free).

True faith leads to fearlessness – boldness, confidence, and assurance – that, regardless of whether I understand things, regardless of whether I like them, regardless of whatever thing I am faced with or forced to go through, God is Who He says He is, and He will do what He says He will do.

Be of Good Cheer!
by Chip Brogden
We live in a stressful world. All of us have difficulties, problems, challenges, and needs.

In spite of this, I have seen people overcome incredible odds and rise up over seemingly insurmountable challenges: the death of a loved one, or the loss of a business, or the failure of a marriage, or a decline in their health. They somehow get through it, pick up the pieces, and inspire others with their joy and determination.

I have seen other people have a complete breakdown over the very same things.

So I have come to realize that life is only 10% what happens to you and 90% how you choose to respond to what happens.  One man’s circumstances cause him to bless God, while another man’s identical circumstances cause him to curse God.  One man loses his job and goes into depression; another man loses his job and starts his own business. Stress affects different people in different ways.  But why is this?

HOW TO GO FROM
​​​​​​​FRUSTRATION TO FAITH
LISTEN NOW
Don't want to listen? Read the transcript...
Hello Elaine,

Why doesn’t God do something? Why doesn’t God heal me? Why didn’t God prevent this from happening? How long must I wait? How long before the answer comes? 

These are a sampling of complaints from the frustrated soul, sometimes breathed out in prayer to God, often muttered under our breath to no one in particular, and frequently rehearsed over and over again in our mind. When we look at our environment, we are rewarded with Frustration. 

​​​​​​​But even a negative emotion like frustration can be used for a holy purpose. It is a journey all of us must take that brings us from Frustration to Faith...

The Gift of Christ
by Chip Brogden
I am afraid that we do not truly appreciate the fact that God has never given us things, but has summed up everything into Christ, having poured Himself into His Son.

Having the Son, possessing the Son, being one with the Son, we have and possess everything God is. It never has been a question of seeking ten, one hundred, or one thousand different things from God. If we do not know from our experience, we should at least know from the Scriptures, that Christ is the Gift of God. Then our experience will come into line with God’s Thought. 

If you are used to seeking spiritual “things” (love, joy, peace, anointing, power, blessing, etc.) then this message is particularly for you, but we all stand to benefit from being reminded constantly that Christ is God’s One Gift.

NEW EPISODE:
THE WRATH TO COME
LISTEN NOW
Don't want to listen? Read the transcript...
Hello Elaine,

As we draw near to the second coming of Christ there is a prophetic urgency that brings both the same promise and the same meaning that John the Baptist did when he says that the axe is laid to the root of the tree. He is coming to thoroughly purge His threshing floor. He’s going to separate wheat from chaff. 

Also, in Malachi it talks about how, “He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them as gold and silver are refined.” He’s going to separate the dross from the pure. Separate sheep from goats, foolish from wise.

Well, it happened once; and I believe it’s going to happen again, and it is happening, as God raises up the same spirit and power of Elijah here in these last days: to warn God’s people to come out of her so that they don’t suffer the same judgment.

My Mother and My Brothers
by Chip Brogden
The question that Jesus asked bears repeating today: Who is my brother? Who is my sister? Who is my mother? 

Certainly not everyone who says, “Lord! Lord!” will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. In similar manner, not everyone who says, “Brother! Brother!” is really a brother. 

Yet learning how to be a good brother or a good sister is the first thing Jesus wants to teach us. When we are born into this Family that is all we are – a brother or a sister. Every apostolic, prophetic, evangelistic, pastoral, or teaching ministry must have, as its foundation, the spiritual depth and maturity of knowing how to “just” be a brother or sister. We skip this necessary preparation at our own peril, and the Family of God suffers as a result...

Don't want to listen? Read the transcript...
Hello Elaine,
When you look to the Word of God – not to a man, not to a movement, but to the Word of God – you actually see that the condition of the church in the last days has already been prophesied. We know exactly what to expect. We know exactly what to look for.
Not only has it been prophesied, but we actually have a spiritual parallel in the nation of Israel. We’ve been talking about John the Baptist, and how he prepared a place for the Lord in the wilderness, outside the camp. 
The whole story of John the Baptist reveals not only the spiritual importance, but also the prophetic significance, of the wilderness experience; and it teaches lessons you and I need to know as we also endeavor to follow Jesus outside the camp.

Put Ye On the Lord Jesus
by Chip Brogden
What is the Christian Life? It is leaving our ground altogether and coming onto the ground of Christ. It is deeper than a changed life – it is an exchanged life.

​​​​​​​Over time we can accomplish a change, but we can do nothing to exchange our life for His Life. This, from start to finish, is God’s work, and it is a work of grace. What, after all, is Righteousness? What is true Holiness? Christ is not righteous because He does righteous things; He does righteous things because He is Righteousness. Christ is not holy because He does holy things; He does holy things because He is Holiness. His “doing” flows out of His “being” – and OUR “doing” flows out of His “being” as well...

THERE IS A PRICE TO BE PAID FOR REVELATION.

John the Baptist had a profound revelation of Christ, and with that revelation came the realization that the religious system of Judaism could not be reformed or revived, but would have to be repudiated.

Trust in My Life
by Chip Brogden
Trying to imitate Christ is the path of frustration and despair. Let me say undeniably that you will never meet a Man like Jesus. Try for a million years and you can never duplicate His personality!

Your best attempt to “be more like Jesus” is as feeble as trying to grow a plant out of a concrete rock. Only a proud, ignorant person thinks they can even come close to being like Jesus.

No, the answer is, “It is no longer I that liveth, but Christ that liveth in me, and the life that I live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God.” I live, yet not I but Christ. It is not Jesus reproduced in me, it is Jesus instead of me. It is not my life, my work, my effort at holiness. It is Christ my Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification, and Redemption.

As I learn to trust His Life for the small things, I am finding the larger things to be less large...

LISTEN NOW
Don't want to listen? Read the transcript...
Hello Elaine,

During the "four hundred silent years" before Jesus, in the absence of spiritual leadership and in the absence of a prophetic voice to keep them faithful to God's purpose, the Jews created a religious system so dead that they did not even recognize the Messiah when He arrived. Christians have spent five times as long to build their own religious system; in the process we have become just as blind to Jesus as the Jews were.

The Kingdom, The Power
and The Glory
by Chip Brogden
This three-fold benediction concludes what is commonly referred to as the Lord’s Prayer. It is a fitting conclusion to what we call the Prayer of the Kingdom, or the Prayer of the Overcomer.

This confession is the summation of all that precedes it, the end result of what we are asking: “FOR…” Why do we bless the Name of the Father? Why do we pray for the Will and the Kingdom to be accomplished? Why do we pray for daily bread and forgiveness of sins? Why do we pray to be kept from evil? “FOR…” We ask for all these things BECAUSE the Kingdom is Yours, the Power is Yours, and the Glory is Yours. All the others are requests, but these three are declarations. “Thine IS the Kingdom… Thine IS the Power… Thine IS the Glory.” That is the conclusion that we come to, and it is the reason that we pray in this way.

The Testimony of Jesus is committed to the Church, and the matter of His Kingdom, His Power, and His Glory is an intrinsic part of that Testimony. The Testimony answers to everything which man or the devil may challenge us with. So let us look at each one respectively...

NO FELLOWSHIP?
​​​​​​​Here's 7 Ways to Deal With It
LISTEN NOW
Don't want to listen? Read the transcript...
Hello Elaine,

Can we trust God to bring the right people into our life?

Hopefully we will learn sooner, rather than later, than whenever we go out and try to “make something happen” we tend to make a mess of things. Our hunger and thirst for fellowship opens us up to the possibility of entering into relationships with people who will do us more harm than good.

Lonely people are easy prey for wolves in sheep’s clothing.

If we look to the Lord to meet all our needs – including our need for social interaction and fellowship – then He will certainly bring the right people into our life, at the right time, and for the right reason.
