Rejecting 'The' Antichrist Doctrine

Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 20th October 2024. This talk follows the talk 'Rejecting The Secret Rapture', where 'the' Rapture, 'the' Great Tribulation and 'the' Antichrist are falsely used. As a result of these errors, the correct understanding of salvation and overcoming are clouded in doctrinal garbage. Factual points to consider... The concept of a secret rapture is totally refuted by clearly defined scripture... see 'rejecting the secret rapture'. Great Tribulation... there is no such thing as 'THE' Great Tribulation.. the word 'the' is not used. Antichrist... neither is 'THE' used with 'Antichrist'... meaning it's not a specific person. 'Antichrist' (antichristos) as a word has a simple meaning... 'anti-' (against or instead of) & -'christ' (the anointed or anointing). It is not a person, but rather a doctrinal attitude towards the anointed or the anointing experience of the Holy Spirit. The worst betrayer of God's gospel comes from within the church itself... not an outward person or group. Spirit filled people who compromise the true gospel and promote a water-down version of salvation that removes the emphasis from the 'anointing' and shifts it to a lesser gospel are 'antichrists'... in simple terms, it is God's own people who are doing the most damage to God's blessings.

Rejecting The Secret Rapture

Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 13th October 2024. Before we disprove the "secret rapture", let us look at the teaching... 1. The rapture takes place when Jesus suddenly and secretly comes to the earth to gather all "born again" Christians to heaven. Importantly, this occurs without warning or sign -- and literally happen any day now. 2. According to most proponents, the rapture includes both living Christians and those "dead in Christ". A minor view holds that the rapture is only for those Christians alive in the last days. 3. The rapture occurs before the onset of "the" Great Tribulation -- hence, it is often called the pre-Tribulation rapture. Thus, Christians are spared the horrors of the Great Tribulation (this seems to be the motive behind the teaching). 4. Depending on the particular school of thought, "the" Great Tribulation -- described as a time of unprecedented trouble on the entire world -- lasts either three and one half years, or seven years. 5. After "the" Great Tribulation, Jesus will "officially" and visibly return to fight in the great Battle of Armageddon. Factual points to consider... The word 'rapture' {secret or otherwise} is not used in the scripture... the rising of the overcomers at Christ's return is the reference. "Great Tribulation"... there is no such thing as 'THE' Great Tribulation... the word 'the' is not used. "Antichrist"... neither is 'THE' Antichrist a specific person... 'the Antichrist' is not used in Revelations. 'Antichrist' (antichristos) as a word has a simple meaning... 'anti-' (against or instead of) & -christ (the anointed or anointing). It is not a person, but rather a doctrinal attitude towards the anointed or the anointing. A PDF copy of the talk notes is available at: https://www.brf.org.au/articles/articles.jsp?category=9

The Battle Of The Serpents

Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 15th September 2024. When God created Adam and Eve, they were created as spiritual beings in physical bodies. The serpent first pretends to offer a greater source of blessing than God, and temps them to believe him rather than God...

Building Yourself Up

Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 10th September 2024. The revelation from God that we are created for a positive purpose and the fact that he is prepared to reveal these purposes, is the most wonderful knowledge that any human could ever experience. The opportunity to be anointed (enlivened) by God's Spirit and the promise of eternal life almost seems to good to be true. The Bible not only reveals these truths, but also reveals the best way to deal with problems as well.

They Shall Cast Out Devils

Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 1st September 2024. We will particularly look at Mark 16 and the 'casting out of devils'... why is casting out devils listed first? Let's see how the word 'devils' is used in scriptures... The Jews had no words for mental illness as we now have today. Many of the 'demon possessions' in the scriptures are mental illnesses and are quite definable by modern medicine (let's not confuse the cause with the solution... God heals and cleanses, and this also includes both spiritual and mental problems). This presentation is not denying the existence of devils and demons as some understand them, but is revealing that there are often other options or explanations for the same event. Not every 'devil' that is healed or cast out is a reference to supernatural possession.

Square Watermelons

Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 18th August 2024. Every member of the human race is shaped by the culture and the community they live in...every one of them will also die. The bible offers a solution to the problem of death by introducing a spiritual culture that comes with evidence and scriptural support. This dates back for a couple of thousand years. Better is offered. A PDF copy of the talk notes is available at: https://www.brf.org.au/articles/articles.jsp?category=9

Adversity

Delivered by Byron Carragher on Sunday 11th August 2024. This talk looks at the example of Joseph in the scriptures relating to adversity and we can draw encouragement from the ups and downs of Joseph's life which can often mirror our own up and down experiences. Daniel and Paul are two other such examples of many in the scriptures that we can draw encouragement from knowing that what we face as adversity is ultimately for God's ultimate plan and purpose.

A Bit About Goats

Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 11th August 2024. The Bible frequently use symbolism to help us to understand spiritual principles and human success or failings. Goats are often used as a multifaceted symbol or metaphor because of their varying characteristics. Goats can symbolize sacrifice and atonement... obtaining reconciliation. Goats are also used to reveal the difference between righteousness and unrighteousness... clean or sinful. Goats were seen as clean animals for the purpose of sacrifice and were clean for food, according to God.

Something Is Badly Missing

Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 28th July 2024. Unlike the animals, all humans have a conscience that determines between right and wrong. Being Spirit filled by God offers us an unlimited supply of moral inputs, that shapes our conscience in a way that is able to sustain eternal life. The Holy Spirit inside us provides a consistent and enduring sense of right and wrong... both approving or condemning the things we think or do. It reflects on what others do and determine whether they are right or wrong.

The S'mikhah (Authority) Of Jesus

Delivered By Chris Tankey on 21st July 2024. Jesus says "take my yoke upon you and learn of me" {Mat 11:29}. We know that means to understand and to submit to His teachings and example. But the "yoke of the Torah" also meant the specific teachings, interpretations and behaviours of each Rabbi. A few outstanding Rabbis had S'mikhah - the authority to make their own "yoke". Jesus' yoke - easier than strict yokes of most Rabbis of the day - is the only true and correct yoke. It is what we will be judged against.

Sin Is Not The Real Problem

Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 14th July 2024. When God created mankind, his intention was that the family unit would be the basis of all society. The family groups would provide for each other as God gave them the increase. Selfishness led to the first sin where Adam and Eve chose personal benefits ahead of God's plans. This sin has led to every other sin that plagues the human race. Selfishness and greed has also led to physical and spiritual death.

Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 28th May 2024. Everyone of us is different and we all have differing opinions and expectations when it come to the things of the Lord.

God Will Not Be Mocked

Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 30th April 2024. The human Race is very slow to learn that mocking God comes at a great price. The bible reveals thousands of years of people trying to deny God and they have paid for doing so. Bible prophecy clearly reveals the fate of all those who mock the source of their existance and the only source of their future life.

God Has You Covered Pt3

Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 2nd April 2024. God has prepared a gospel for the weakest of the weak, right through to the strongest of the strong. God cares for us much more than we can imagine. When we are weak, we can become strong, because that is when we hand over to God and let him do the work that we cannot. God can cover our sins as easy as Adam and Eve covered themselves with a fig leaf. God went one better and covered them more permanently with animal skins. By forgiving our sins, God gives us room and time to grow and learn from mistakes and weaknesses... to develop spiritually. However, a working faith is required... to believe God by acting upon his directions (to obtain salvation and live in it).

Getting Faith To Work

Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 26th March 2024. This is one bible definition of faith. Hebrews Ch 11 v 1: "Now faith is the substance of (the reality of bringing about) things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (getting results from God)". Faith is almost undefinable as an emotion or a feeling, yet it works through actions and steadfastness for those filled with the Spirit. Faith is not a singular definable action, but rather it is the desire to place ourselves where God can work.

The Truth About Us

From Genesis to Revelation, God regularly expressed his consistent view about the nature of mankind. In Genesis, even after the flood, God recognised that "every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually". This is repeated in Jeremiah, in Psalm 14, and in Romans 3, with specific descriptions, the end result is the same... we are not able to obey the law, and not able to gain salvation by ourselves. But God promised to find a way, and we know that Jesus' sacrifice is that way. We must humbly acknowledge that we are human, and must turn to Jesus for our salvation.

Scriptural Signs And Symbols

The Bible is full of God given signs and symbols that are often used to identify prophetic truths, prophetic dates and seasons, spiritual truths and metaphors, etc. These signs and symbols are often reflected in creation itself, thus taking on a dual role of natural functionality and spiritual metaphor at the same time. There are also supernatural signs and wonders that God uses to give credibility to spiritual truths and promises. In this age of the Spirit, Jesus spoke of the signs which would identify the believers. They included speaking in tongues, the voice gifts in the meetings, healings, etc. This brief study will address a few signs and symbols that relate to astronomical and heavenly symbols.

Opportunities

Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 23rd January 2024. When God offers you an amazing opportunity but you do not know how to do it; make your mind up to step out in faith... then ask God how to do it.! The word 'opportunity' was a term first used by sailors of wind driven ships and had a particular application. Its main usage came when the wind changed its direction and started to blow towards the harbour. This was the best time to head for safe and controlled mooring.

Gifts For The Unworthy

Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 17th December 2023. The nature of gift giving in the western world stems from concepts clearly established in the bible. From the scriptural point of view, Creation, Life, Eternal life are all gifts that no one is ever worthy of. This is simply the nature of God... the giver of gifts. The gifts given to Jesus by the Magi (wise men), represented the destiny he would fulfil as the Son of God... these gifts were also symbolic of the gifts he would grant us... the unworthy.

The Day The Earth Stops

Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 08th October 2023. In the 1860s, a 'dead line' within or around a prison. Prisoners would be shot for crossing the 'dead line'. However, the sense of a deadline that is most commonly found today ("a date or time before which something must be done") did not begin to see use until the early 20th century. A newer translation has come about in recent history where it has taken another meaning. We are all confronted with deadlines. Bills must be paid, licenses renewed, tax returns filed... the list goes on and on. Despite the different meanings, one deadline is of supreme importance. It is one we all face.

True Salvation Is Built On Signs

Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 27th August 2023. All of the world's great religions are based on historic and established beliefs. Not one of them offers any God powered evidence (observable evidence), of their claims. Not only is true salvation based on signs, most major events in God's creation and his plans for his people have been identified with signs and wonders... it is God's way.

Freed From Condemnation

Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 13th August 2023. The human race needs to know the facts about God's salvation and the positive effect that flows from it. The clarity and assurance of forgiveness needs to be the primary understanding for the church. The role of the priest has always been one of clear and precise intercession on behalf of the person they are dealing with. It was God's intention that people would confess, offer a sacrifice and leave the temple with a clear understanding of forgiveness. Too many times, the doctrinal or economic corruption of the priesthood left people uncertain about their spiritual status. We can help others avoid the same problem by having a clear understanding of how forgiveness and New Testament salvation works.

The Fields Are Already White To Harvest

Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 6th August 2023. When Jesus spoke of the fields being white unto harvest, he was using a natural agricultural reality to describe a natural truth. It is rather easy to work out when wheat is ready to harvest... the tops of the grain turn a whitish colour. Jesus then related to the spiritual harvest; the saving of souls. Firstly we have to look up, or turn Godward or we won't gain an increase. It is God that pricks the hearts and prepares people to understand scriptural blessing. We share our testimony and experience and they have their chance... But it is always their choice.

Options

Delivered By Pastor Arthur Marshman on 23rd July 2023. When God created mankind he gave them dominion over the world he created. A result of this is that each individual has dominion over their own life. Just like when we choose a car, we have options to choose from. How we live our lives is determined by the options we choose. God gives us the options of: light and darkness, good and evil, life and death. The right choices lead to eternal life.

Tell Us Something We Don't Know

Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 12th July 2023. "Trivia" comes from a roman god of the same name, who was very fond of sprouting random and irrelevant facts. He was named Trivia because he was the god of the intersections of three roads, and that's where he would waylay travellers with his useless knowledge. Three roads, hence the name tri-via, Latin for three roads. Thus, trivia (or trivial) has now become the label used against facts or truths that are considered unimportant or unwanted. 'Tell us something we don't know' is a more recent form of sarcasm used to imply that the line of thought or truth is now out of fashion and not to be discussed... it is implied that it has been exhausted or settled and nothing more can be learned from it. Cancel culture is a much blunter way of silencing people who they don't want to hear (often labelled as hate speech). There are many more ways used by people who simply are not honest enough to face or debate rational facts. God has had to deal with these human deceits from the beginning of creation.

The Law Of Unintended Consequences

The law of unintended consequences refers to the idea that actions or decisions can have unforeseen and unintended consequences, often in ways that are not immediately apparent. This can occur because complex systems often have multiple interconnected parts, and a change of one part of the system can have ripple effects that are difficult to predict. This is also true for those who reject a relationship with God.

Salvation Is A Gift Not A Reward

Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 2nd July 2023. The human race is able to enjoy all of God's natural and Spiritual creation without charge. Everything we see and love, every person we know and care about, are all created by God as a free demonstration of who he is and what he stands for. He is the giver of life and gifts. Nothing God gives us is able to be earned; it is all a free gift for his creation. Salvation is the greatest gift of God for humanity. It gives us the chance to move away from our human greed and failings and give us eternal life... all free of charge.

The Threshing Floor

The threshing floor in scripture is used as a strong metaphor as a place of separation and revelation. A place where God's harvest is prepared by separating the grain from the useless straw and husk (natural body and its failings)... by threshing (pressure) and the wind (the spirit of truth). The concept of threshing and separation are used to describe God's dealings with men and their future blessings.

Truth

One of the victims of our age is truth. It seems that opinions are more important than facts. Life itself is a search for the truth. God is the author of truth and Jesus came to show us the truth. After he left he sent us the Holy Spirit to guide us in the truth.

The Power Of The Conscience

Our conscience forms a reaction to ethical, moral and spiritual values and gives us directions for our thoughts and life actions. For Christians our conscience has had an extra element added to it by the input of the Holy Spirit. This not only gives us a far different perspective to life, it also adds a few unwanted confusions between natural and spiritual ideals. These are discussed in this topic.

The Priest And The Shepherd Pt2

The bulk of God's complaints about the priests related to their indifference and unscriptural behaviour towards the weak, the poor, and the sinners. God often directs us to observe the actions of a good shepherd, who often has a completely different mindset than the priest. All animals are important to the shepherd. He will make real efforts to save every lamb... particularly the sick and the weak. The good shepherd also refuses to accept the loss of a lamb; he will look till he finds it.

The Hardest Questions Have Easy Answers

If God were to give professing believers a quiz on Christianity, many of us would score well. They would be able to answer "Yes, it's true" to questions as: Did Christ die for your sins? Did He rise from the dead? Is the Holy Spirit essential? Do true believers speak in tongues? Is He coming back to earth? Many of us grow up saying yes to these types of biblical doctrines. But eventually we sense that God is asking us some new questions....

The Parable Of Lazarus

The parable of Lazarus and the rich man contains certain scriptural truths that need to be worked out by comparing spiritual truths with the contents of the parable. The parable contains revelations the being rich is not a guarantee of success with God and being poor doesn't prevent God's great blessing. In the parable the tables are turned with the poor man Lazarus getting God's blessing. Some believe that the references to hell and torment refer to an eternal fiery torture of those who fail, but the parable does not support this view with scriptural truths. Many of the quotes are about the Pharisees beliefs, not the scriptures. It ends with the prophecy of Jesus' death and resurrection and the ongoing denial by the Pharisees of Christ and his power.

Getting Faith To Work

This is one bible definition of faith. Hebrews Ch 11 v 1: "Now faith is the substance of (the reality of bringing about) things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (getting results from God)". Faith is almost undefinable as an emotion or a feeling, yet it works through actions and steadfastness for those filled with the Spirit. Faith is not a singular definable action, but rather it is the desire to place ourselves where God can work.

Learning How To Love

The love of God is much more than our version of love and is far bigger than feelings and expressions. Everyone craves love and longs to be loved. It is highly improbable that there is anyone on earth who would avoid love. We can be also sure that there are lots of people that don't feel lovable. Perhaps they don't know how to love, and therefore, they feel unlovable themselves. Many relationships fail because one of the partners hasn't learnt or has never moved past romantic infatuation. We must first learn to love God, then ourselves and then learn to let it flow over into the lives of others.

When do Christians Rise To Meet The Lord

Qualifier.... This talk and these notes in no way support or allude to the 'secret rapture' nor any other futurist concepts. 1. The first aim of this short study is to distinguish the age ending actions bought about by mankind, as opposed to and in conjunction with, the age ending destruction by the hand of God (accompanying the return of Jesus Christ). 2. The second is to establish what happens to the saints (overcoming Christians), while God's fiery judgement is in process. Many people seem to be confused as to what happens when these two events collide. Some saints feel that God's people are going to be subject to the fiery judgement of God while others while others feel that God is more loving and merciful than to allow that to happen. There are a few different opinions on these things, but the following is a consistent theme.

Relationships In God's Church

Starting with creation and moving through further scriptural revelations, we see a consistent and common theme revealing God's purposes behind human life and the ability to sustain it long term. The Biblical family unit (husband, wife, children) defines the basis for lasting cultural stability and longevity. These values give people the best chance for cultural and spiritual survival through specifically defined relationships. The following are simple examples of God's revealed purposes towards physical relationships.

Preparing The Way Of The Lord

The kingdom of God doesn't have a flashing neon sign over the entrance gate, nor does it have clearly lit street signs leading to it. The way of God is hidden from all men, because it is not discerned through the natural senses. The natural senses of sight, hearing, touch, etc, reveal nothing. The way of God is a spiritually discerned path and can only be found through the instructions given by God's people. The right instructions bring the right results.

God's Power Is Not An Option

We live in a world where opinion continually outweighs provable facts and reality like no other time in history. Not surprisingly there are numerous times in history where the facts and realities have not suited the rulers of the day and have been denied. It was quite common to jail or murder those who dared reveal unpleasant realities. That is why God offers signs and wonders... it gives the honest heart something to build confidence upon, without having to rely on the opinion of others.

There would be few people in the world who have never heard of the concept of Armageddon or the return of Jesus Christ. These stories have one thing in common.

Many of the Bible prophecies relating to this time are clear, and currently unfolding. Despite this, the vast majority of people are totally unprepared for what is ahead of them; nor do they care... at the moment.

It should not be surprising that the creator of the universe wants to reveal himself to his creation.

This is foolish and has extended into gender, sport, business, law and order, etc. Much of our social order is breaking down, allowing confusion and crime to escalate rapidly. People may feel free to make their choices on the earth... but there are spiritual consequences. Lets have a look at God's view on all these modern points of debate.

God Has You Covered Pt2

Part 1 was delivered 4th May 2022. God has prepared a gospel for the weakest of the weak, right through to the strongest of the strong. God cares for us much more than we can imagine. When we are weak we can become strong, because that is when we hand over to God and let him do the work that we cannot. God can cover our sins as easy as Adam and Eve covered themselves with fig leaves. God went one better and covered them more permanently with animal skins. By forgiving us our sins, God gives us room and time to grow and learn from mistakes and weaknesses... to develop spiritually. However, a working faith is required... to believe God by acting upon his directions (to obtain salvation and live in it).

Worry Is A Waste

There is a lot of talk these days about the amount of waste that we humans produce. One significant form of waste that has always been around, and that is very hard to get rid of, is worry. In the Lord, we are instructed to have faith, and not to worry (which is a form of fear). This doesn't mean we don't care about anything. The scriptures give us instruction on how to handle our concerns and how to deal with suffering.

Stupid By Choice

"Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." Martin Luther King Jr (1964). He stated this great truth in relationship to the religious and national ignorance towards the African American peoples and other minorities. Conscientious stupidity means that people are purposely choosing to live in error, or to believe untruths and misinformation, at the expense of provable reality. This has been the choice of mankind towards God for the extent of Bible history and is even more relevant today. Not only do minorities suffer as a result; the whole human race suffers under the same delusion. The reality of physical and spiritual death faces all of us, but those who hold power tend to dominate the weak rather than help them. God has been trying to awaken humanity to the false reality and the wilful ignorance that they have chosen... he offers them life in far greater abundance than they could ever imagine. This is where our role comes in as spirit filled ambassadors... we have proof.

A Bit About God's Nature

God is the same at all times and never changes. When Jesus came on the ministry scene, he also had the same nature as God... Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. As time passed, God has been able to bring in better covenants that are more effective than others. This is due to the gains and opportunities made by faithful men and women. After the death and resurrection of Christ, God had a mechanism for continually providing the bulk of his desired blessings for all humanity... the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Interestingly, God has always offered mankind the same types of blessings, but he never had a consistent and effective way of doing so. God's nature has never changed... as the following verses indicate.

Basics: Seeds Of Life

Every Spirit Filled person has once pondered the icy cold prospect of death. That is why the vast majority of people have joined God's fellowship by being anointed in the Spirit. Someone sowed the seeds of life into your heart, by telling you what God's offering. There is a very good reason why death needs to be defeated... without life, there is nothing... without God there is no life... without the Holy Spirit there is no after life. That is the message we take to the world. God motivated us to acquire our salvation through the promise of eternal life... this precious knowledge needs to be shared. The seeds of life are sown by words of truth and power.

Faith To Grow

We are continually encouraged by God to give ourselves room to receive more blessing. This simply means that we give up some more of the non productive parts of our lives and make increases in the spiritual commitments that are on offer. In other words, we put more into our walk in the Lord. The action which permits us to trust God, is called faith... and faith is what we need to apply. If we learn to identify opportunities, then we can put our faith into action, but if we never see opportunities, then faith can never be exercised. Opportunities are evident, because prayer brings them to the surface... they are exposed so attention can be focused on them. Lack of prayer probably means that there will be no recognizable opportunities and yet they exist around us every moment of the day.

Controversy

The world we live in is, and always has been, full of controversy. With the advent of the all-pervasive communication modes that surround us today, the volume of controversy seems to have increased significantly. The Word teaches us that we shouldn't be consumed in controversy, and the world's supposedly controversial issues just disappear when seen in the context of God's plan and promises. A lot of disagreements exist because people are asking the wrong questions. Lets look at what the Word tells us about the right questions.

Forgiveness Is A Daily Opportunity

Most often when we think of forgiveness, we tend to think of ourselves and what we need to improve, but this is not the best way to go. Once we are forgiven and walking in the spirit, the greater gains will come from, forgiving others and building better relationships. Once freed from sin, we should have far much more energy to direct towards the weak and unsaved... this is our daily opportunity.

Death And Hell

Is the finality of judgement about punishing or eternal punishment..... One of the common mistakes made when trying to interpret the bible comes from overlooking the most basic rule of study... comparing the scriptures with themselves. The concept of eternal punishing is strangely missing from every prominent Old Testament reference. It is very hard to imagine why God would not warn Adam and Eve and numerous other key players in their times right up to Christ, that death would include eternal torment filled with unrelenting pain and horror for all of time... with no relief whatsoever. There is a huge difference between death (which is often quick and uneventful) compared with eternal torturous pain. Why would God hide, or disguise such a hideous result for thousands of years, if such a terrible punishment were literally true.

Free From Debt

Since Adams first act of disobedience, man has struggled with sin and the separation from God that it caused. Under the law, we owed a debt to sin paid only through blood. Jesus paid that blood price for us, freeing us to approach the father unimpeded. We are a new creation, a brand new man. We live a new life no longer burdened by the weight of sin, placing our burdens at the saviour's feet.

The Gift Of God

God has a single gift for all mankind, and he sent his son to earth to deliver it to us. This Gift is the Holy Spirit, receiving it is an experience that is variously described as; a baptism, an outpouring, an infilling, or being born of the Spirit. On receiving this gift, we open it to find signs and wonders following: speaking in tongues, healing, miracles, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, faith, discernment, and prophecy. As we walk with the Spirit of God, our lives become full of the fruits of the Spirit: Love, Joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. If you would like to receive this gift, read these bible references.

Culture can be defined as all the ways of life including arts, beliefs and institutions of a population, that are passed down from generation to generation... these cultures are adjusted and changed as needed. God's culture is built on spiritual principles and powers which are revealed once we are filled with the Holy Spirit.

Reading, instruction, revelation and commitment all play a vital role in the learning process. As we progress, our knowledge needs to be turned into effective action and service.

When Truth Doesn't Matter Pt2

Part 2 of When Truth Doesn't Matter. The world has very quickly moved to the point where the truth is not the driving force behind most decisions. Tribal loyalty and desired opinions are more important than facts, because people prefer their own reality and build upon their own 'truths'. Throughout the western world, reality and provable science have given way to the 'science' of personal beliefs. This 'science' is also selectively applied... eg., I might choose to believe that I am female, even though I am genetically, physically and visibly male, yet governing bodies will pressure everyone to agree with my choice. However, it I identify as fully vaccinated without evidence, I risk being rejected and isolated from society. These corruptions are prophesied, because they lead to the denial and corruption of everything that relates to God's creation, purposes and values. A clear pattern emerges... Humanities main goal is more about appeasing very fragile and deluded egos, than it is about improving or sustaining human life.

The same notes as used for Led By The Spirit..The Holy Spirit is the energy or power of God in action, just as our deeds (as opposed to our thoughts assets) display our nature to those around us. For those who are anointed/filled with the Spirit, it's God's intention that we utilize the same power for the salvation of others, so God's purposes can be established in us. Thus, we become the children of God, because our spiritual DNA is the same as God's... we are his offspring rather than the world's and we are motivated to act accordingly.

Gods True Rest And Refreshing

By the act of confusing spiritual priorities and values, it becomes clear why people build unfulfilled lives based on powerless spiritual precepts. Gods Spirit is still bound by the accuracy of his word... we cannot add nor subtract from those things which the Lord has laid down. If we start letting small things slip by, or add little things that please us that are not in his word... then they can accumulate to the point where destruction is assured!! Safety margins are an act of wisdom when it comes to conforming to God's directions. By limiting natural appreciations, stimulations and actions, we make more room for the Spirit to move... thus we end up with more accurate results. Mistakes are going to cost a large number of Gods saints their salvation. These things are written so true rest and refreshing can be attained.

The Final Age Of The Victim

If you have a victim mentality, you will see your entire life through a perspective that things constantly happen 'to' you. Victimisation is thus a combination of seeing most things in life as negative, beyond your control, and as something you should be given sympathy for experiencing, because you deserve 'better'. At it's heart, the victim mentality is a way to avoid taking any responsibility for yourself or your life. By believing you have no power then you don't have to take action... and it is not your fault. The victim mentality has gone mainstream in the West. It's through the ideology commonly known as 'identity politics', which neatly divides society into victims and oppressors. It's an ideology that tells various minorities that they're hapless victims of an oppressive system: whether of Power, Gender, Race, Age, Wealth, Bodily shape and size, Personal beliefs. In reality everyone is a victim and an oppressor at the same time.

We cannot clothe ourselves in righteousness no matter how hard we try.. only God can provide the robes of righteousness and the garments of salvation. He does this willingly.

Firstly, the Holy Spirit is an intelligent, personal force... the effectual 'conscience' of God.

The concept of a person who is perfectly suited to another in temperament and purpose being called a 'soul mate' or 'one true love', originated from the Greek comedy playwright, Aristophanes around 450BC.

To those that are in right standing with God; the first death at the end of natural life is a temporary sleep before being resurrected into a new spiritual body. Those who have died are not even aware of death; the dead do not know they are dead; their cycle of awareness is over. God explains that the natural life of the unsaved as being little different than being dead. We are encouraged to make wise choices before our time runs out (not just leaving it to the last moment). No one knows how long they have to live. For those of us who have the Holy Spirit, we are encouraged to keep our perspective and be mindful for the lives of others.

Greater Works

There is an intriguing scripture in the gospel of John that alludes to our works surpassing that of Christ's. John 14:12. It is interesting for two reasons... the first is the statement that we will have the potential to do the works of Christ (miracles)... and the second, which is the most amazing, reveals that we have the potential to do even greater works then Christ.... how can that be? What is something that Jesus did not do, or could not do while he was on the earth as opposed to what we can do while he is in heaven? The best way to solve this question is to look at the changes that occurred after he left. We do not need to go too far into the book of Acts to find the answer.

The Sign Of The Prophet Jonah

The sign of the prophet Jonah is only one of approximately 350 prophecies fulfilled by Jesus Christ that were recorded up to 4000 years before he was born. Prophecies act as signs and proof of the credibility of God and of his ability to save people from certain death. The salvation message that Jesus made possible, is also built upon prophetic signs, miracles, and wonders. The sign of speaking in tongues is the confirmation of being anointed by the Spirit. The sign of the prophet Jonah is a precursor of the salvation message that Jesus provided and described.

The Power To be Saved

When it comes to the things of God, most people have no understanding of what they are dealing with. God is trying to save people from permanent extinction (death), but most are blindly adhering to lifestyles that are more appealing to their human nature. God is not demanding a life of permanent denial and abstinence of all pleasures. He is trying to save people from certain death. Our natural perspective is short term and certainly devoid of any spiritual awareness. Spiritually speaking, the human is brain dead, they are devoid of any potential and they are powerlessly living out their time; spiritually crippled... awaiting permanent death. On the other hand, God is offering us the power to be saved.

The Thief On The Cross

Much has been said and made of the Thief on the cross. Many people have taken comfort from the story of the thief to whom Jesus makes the famous quote, "Verily I say onto Thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise." Unfortunately for the people who quote or rely on this scripture, the meaning of this verse is not what they believe. Before we discuss this scripture, we need to understand why people have placed so much significance on these words. Many today want to take the easy way out (with little responsibility or commitment), or they are looking for Godly hope and they find it very comforting to think, that when they are on death's doorstep, they can simply say sorry and all will be well. They are wrong! The other concept which comes forward is the appreciation that when you die, you go straight into heaven to be with the Lord. That also is error. Let us have a closer look at the words of Jesus and see what He is truly saying.

The End Of The End

The Bible describes a series of events which define the return of the Lord. One such line of prophecy is called "birth pangs", being likened to the onset of human birth. This is a very interesting metaphor, because many of the events of human labour are easy to identify, and by their nature, continue to intensify and are irreversible.

To Live By Faith Is To Give By Faith

Many Christians feel obliged to prioritize their service to Christ by telling him through prayers, music, public speaking and testimony; how much they love him. This is often promoted and perceived as one of the greatest and most rewarding deeds of the Christian life. Sadly, this is wrong, and ill conceived. Many would be surprised how few times Christ or God mentioned their love for each other. It is not that it wasn't there, it is just that they preferred to display their love for each other through actions and deeds... rather than words. Jesus lived by faith and wants us to imitate his love towards others through deeds and actions, not just words.

The Calibration Of Life Vancouver

This talk was previously delivered by Pastor Brad in Brisbane on 7th March. This talk is slightly more condensed (precise). All sciences have tools or documented comparisons so any device or formula can be calibrated against a proven measure or standard. The reality of bible salvation is based on a series of promises and actions which God has promised through His Holy Spirit, of which He confirms. God is well aware of human failure and has thus calibrated His word and blessings with signs and evidence outside of intellectual and emotional factors alone. Like the Prime Meridian (the 0 degree line of longitude) used for all charting and travelling on the earth's surface, the church needs a fixed starting point of reference, or natural wisdom will corrupt spiritual truths.

Why Do The Heathen Rage Pt2

On 14th June 2020 Pas Brad gave a talk titled Why Do The Heathen Rage. This is part 2 of that topic. The PDF notes are posted in the "resource / articles" area of the brf.org.au website. The natural position of 'non or anti-Christians' is to rage against God's laws and principles, despite them giving humanity the best opportunities for a fair and sustainable life. The more they rage, the worse life becomes for the free world, with one failure leading to another. Sadly, yet predictably: the human race never learns from its mistakes. Pride and ignorance always lead to the failures that the past generations also suffered.

Prayer That Works Pt2

Part 2. There are two main identities that God reveals about himself when dealing with us on a personal level. The first identity he takes on is "Father" and the second main identity he takes on is "Friend". God takes on these identities so he can be better visualised and easily understood. These identities make it a lot simpler to know how to approach him and what to build our expectations upon. The salvation message of repentance, water baptism and the receiving (anointing) of the Holy Spirit gives us new status, or a fresh start.

Robes Of Righteousness

Many people get confused over the method and principles by which God saves his people from their human shortcomings and sins. We are not subject to a balance sheet of good verses evil every week to see if we are passing or failing. Just as our clothing covers our nakedness, the indwelling Holy Spirit, covers our spiritual on an ongoing manner. Thus, Jesus not only protects us from the powers of sin and temptation, but from the penalty of such weakness... every minute of the day.

The world is on the brink of a disaster that will eliminate almost all forms of human and animal life. This is the second time that the bible has recorded such far reaching disasters... the first time was the great flood and the next and soon to come calamity relates to the fiery death for almost all forms of life. God had Noah build an ark to save those who believed the prophecy of the coming flood and Jesus Christ is building another ark... called the church; which will also deliver those who prepare for the coming fire. Both destructive judgements are the result of human rebellion against the principles of God.

God Doesn't Forget

Our memory is a very unreliable keeper of the truth. Due to a variety of reasons we forget things... we forget facts and truths. When something is forgotten, then those memories are unable to be shared with others and that particular truth can be lost forever. Mankind has consistently forgotten the things that God has done for them; hence many are unaware of His promises. Just as the passing of time assists us to forget historical facts (allowing it to be rewritten); so to has mans potential relationship with God been distorted. God keeps us in touch with the truth through the continuous working of the Holy Spirit; always prompting us to offer the truth of Eternal Life to others. God's memory doesn't dim or change with the passing of time. Now that we are filled with His Spirit, we should never forget who we are, or what we stand for.

This talk was delivered in Brisbane on 1st November 2020. It is further noted that Pastor Brad also delivered this talk to the Fresno Fellowship on 29th October 2020. There are slight differences in the talks. Jesus worked miracles amongst the needy and the sick, fed the hungry and offered salvation to the sinners and the lost. How did those who were supposed to serve the same people react? The priests had him tortured and murdered on false charges, not caring one bit for the pain and suffering He was solving. The priesthood was corrupt and spiritually sick: that is why God brought it to an end and a new way was born.

Sadly, most people don't care about evidence; all they want is someone to agree with their world view.

God has always offered scriptural support and backed it up with evidence. The choices we make in faith, determine the opportunities God can work with.

Anxiety And Fear. We Need To Trust

Anxiety - We Need to trust; We do not need to fear. Whilst the Bible does not use the word anxiety, it does have a lot to say about fear. Generally this sits in one of two categories, a reverential fear (respect) (by analogy to be in awe of), or alarm or fright (terror). This talk covers some references of types of fear or anxiety that we may feel, discusses patience as the process to remove anxiety (or fear), cross references scriptures that tell us not to do things in our own strength and works, through a couple of psalms of David to help paint mental picture that God has all things in hand. He is our refuge and we have nothing to fear.

Turning Failure Into Great Comfort

The Bible is full of faithful people who despite moments of weakness and failure, were able to provide great blessings for God's people. Some have provided far more blessing than they thought possible, perhaps even more than we yet realise. The gained comforts from the following acts of faith are far greater than even they could have imagined. All these blessings have come out of tribulation, despair or weakness. Consider it a great joy to fall into tribulation, because all the great blessings have come out of such trials..

When We Hit The Wall

Many marathon runners face a difficult problem in the latter stages of the race... that is when they hit the wall. This refers to depleting their glycogen (glucose, stored in the liver and muscles)and the feelings of fatigue and negativity that come with it. It is the most readily available fuel source to burn when exercising, so our bodies prefer it. When we run low on glycogen, our muscles hurt and our brain wants to shut down activity as a preservation method... this may lead to negative thinking, forgetting the big picture. Most people come to the Lord for the same reason... the easy answers stop coming. Also it is not uncommon for people who serve God to hit the wall from time to time. God excels when the easy way is not available.

The Trojan Horse

We find a story in Greek mythology of how the impenetrable city of Troy was defeated by a much smaller and weaker Trojan army. Troy had huge walls around the city that couldn't be breached, so a clever plan of getting into the city was devised. A multi story wooden horse was built and rolled to the front gates of Troy as a gift to Troy's superiority. The wooden monument had soldiers hidden inside and once accepted into the city. Under the cover of darkness the hidden soldiers opened the city gates and Troy was defeated. Thus, malware (computer viruses) are often called "trojans" for the same reason. They are disguised as legitimate software and can be used by cyber thieves and hackers to gain access to your computer, your data and your assets. Likewise, Christians should be fully aware that this type of attack against their faith is the most common ploy that Satan uses against them.... once our faith is weakened, unbelief and failure can soon follow.

Hidden In Plain Sight

An elderly woman in France had the surprise of a lifetime late in 2019, when she discovered the old wooden panel painting, that sat above the kitchen stove was worth more than $7.7US million. She was selling her house and was going to send it to the tip with other ‘junk’ except for an auctioneer suspecting it might have some value. Having been valued at $7.7US million it actually sold at auction for $26.6US million. We may be equally surprised to find that God has also set a value upon us; a value that is far beyond what we could ever dream of. Like the auction above, once we are restored (saved), our value is multiplied many times more to God, much more than we could ever believe. Our eyes and minds alone can’t see God’s values.

God has identified himself as much more than the powerful creator of the universe and the life in it. He has expressed an attitude towards the human race, that is common to humans themselves. He demonstrates love and care, concern and assistance; like any caring father or mother would do. His interest and regard for us is much more than that of any parent, because his capacity is far greater than ours. We cannot care for ourselves with the same certainty and authority that God offers. If the worst comes to the worst, God is capable of raising the dead. That is something we cannot do for our families. Yet, God now offers us the power to raise the dead.

When The Wheels Fall Off

‘When the wheels fall off’ originated from overloading, or abusing a work vehicle to the extent that it breaks down and is no longer useable. The west was built on the principles contained within the ten commandments, despite the weaknesses of humanity (a certain level of weakness and failure was already factored in to the system). However, as they have been further weakened, we have been overloaded and failures are appearing everywhere. It’s the abuses of the principles that leads to failure, not the principles themselves. The bible reveals many of humanities worst failures thousands of years before they have finally come about.
