Getting People Back to God: Why We Do What We Do

The Hope The New Birth New Life Island (Upper Black Eddy, PA) Penna, Alberto 08/16/2024

The teacher wants us to know that this is bigger than being part of a group or a ministry, but there is a great movement of God happening that we are a part of. We help people get back to God so that they can be free, be delivered, and have life in all of its manifestations. We are part of God’s history, and our lives can have an effect for centuries like the apostles. The teacher encourages us to see our lives bigger and to understand that our lives matter. Forget the past which is wiped away when we get born again and look to the hope that anchors our soul and to the new man and Christ in us that lets us bring miracles to pass by believing.

The Great Mystery The New Birth Witnessing and Undershepherding Spruce Lake Retreat Center (Canadensis, PA) Mercado, Dean 07/05/2024

The Friday morning fellowship began with singing and prayer, building up to a ministering service in which believers who wanted to be prayed for were ministered to by others.
The teaching highlighted God’s will that all people be saved and come unto a knowledge of the truth, that this is his heart for everyone. It then traced how God provided for the first part of that will by raising Jesus Christ from the dead and making available the gift of the holy spirit in the new birth. The second part of His will requires that we witness to the truth of the resurrection by our words and by our operation of the power we’ve been given. The good news we announce to others is of the more than abundant life available now, as well as the hope of the eternal life that we will have in the future, and the Mystery is held up as the answer to all the division in the world. Paul’s speech before the Roman governor Festus and King Agrippa in Acts 26 is used to show all of these principles in operation.

Renewed Mind The New Birth Elizabeth Avenue Fire House (Somerset, NJ) Armstrong, Carol 12/18/2004

This teaching is an exhortation to listeners to “think from the inside out”, to decide to change their thinking and to act according to the gift of holy spirit. The teacher declares that that gift contains the very nature of God, and she describes some aspects of that nature by breaking down 2 Timothy 1:7. She teaches that the spirit that God gave us is not a spirit of cowardice, but instead a spirit of power, power from God far exceeding all we could possibly consider powerful. The spirit enables us to love the way God loves and to control our minds to think like Jesus Christ. It’s a moment by moment decision, and with this nature of God in us, we have the potential to manifest more power, more love, and more controlled soundness of mind.

2023 Atlanta Fall Advance – Freedom in Christ

Sonship Rights The New Birth The Inn at Stone Mountain Park (Stone Mountain, GA) Various Teachers 10/06/2023 10/08/2023

“Freedom in Christ” was the theme of this weekend-long Advance held outside of Atlanta, Georgia with the theme verse being Galatians 5:1, “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”  We learned about what Christ accomplished for us and because of that we can walk in true spiritual freedom. As we accept the liberty that we have in Christ, we can then put our focus on our commitment to service and outreach; this privilege to serve and speak the Word helps others to be able to enjoy the same incredible freedom that we have.
