2023 - Teachings

Every seed is created to reproduce according to its kind. In each seed exists the potential for super abundance. Every seed carries its potential future within it. However, the future of the seeds can only be unlocked if the seeds are planted. Everything that we are right now is a harvest of seeds that have been sown into our past. And the seeds that we are sowing today will be harvested in our future. Our thoughts are seeds. Our words are seeds. And our actions are seeds. The all-important question is: are you sowing seeds of God, His promises, and truth into your life—or seeds of the world’s ever-changing facts and opinions? You will reap what you sow!

Over the past two weeks, we have gone to the Bible to see how healing was administered through Jesus and His disciples. Since Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, it follows that healing can be administered in the same way today as it was during Jesus’ ministry on this earth! Jesus spoke these words, 7 And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. (Matthew 10:7-8)

Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Healing can be received today in the same way that it was received during Jesus’ ministry on this earth! And, we see the disciples of Christ carrying on Jesus’ mission after He ascended into heaven. We too, are called to advance God’s Kingdom … not just with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power!

The rest of God is a heart-level assurance that what Jesus accomplished is more than enough! Today we took a look at our “promised land”, should we choose to believe, enter in, and take possession of it: God’s tender mercy, His extravagant grace, and His favor—His demonstrated delight in us as His children.

Hebrews 3:19 says, 19 So we see that they were not able to enter [into His rest—the promised land] because of unbelief and an unwillingness to trust in God. In this teaching, we talked about “natural unbelief”, which comes from natural information in your life that is contrary to God’s Word. (i.e. pain, negative reports, problems)

Unbelief is fed when we focus our attention on the negative circumstances in our life. The danger is that faith can be cancelled out by unbelief. Unbelief must be fed and nourished in order for it to thrive. Cindy shares ways to separate yourself from the negative, and stop feeding unbelief—and conversely, how to feed your faith instead.

11 Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest … (Hebrews 9:11a) What this apparent paradox means is that we are to trust God completely—dependent and in complete submission to Him—THAT is where we are to put forth our efforts! The rest of God is a heart-level assurance that what Jesus accomplished is more than enough! In this message, Cindy shares the importance of transforming our thinking to agree with God through meditating on the living Word of God. 7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. (Proverbs 23:7a)

9 So we conclude that there is still a full and complete “rest” waiting for believers to experience. (Hebrews 4:9) This rest of God is not a rest from work—it’s a rest in His finished work. In this teaching, Cindy shares that an important key in entering that faith-rest-life is to enter into a passionate and fervent relationship with God, our Father, and to receive His unconditional love.
