Kingdom Community

Glory to God!

Yesterday's meeting was very powerful! It seems we have broken through into a freedom in the Spirit that is shaking strongholds and breaking down walls! As we worshipped the Lord, the Spirit of our victorious King caused us to enter an arena in the spirit where we began to displace the kingdom of darkness with His glorious light as we proclaimed Jesus Christ as Lord over our lives, the Church and the nations.

Richard then led us in a corporate prayer and proclamation for Kingdom Life to establish her identity and calling as a Kingdom Community. This is KLF's prayer:

Heavenly Father,

You have rescued us from the Kingdom of darkness and placed us in Your Kingdom of light – You are our Saviour and our Lord.
You have joined us together and to yourself – we are one in You.
You have set us apart as your very own people – we belong to You.
You have made us your dwelling place – we are holy.
You have sent us to represent your Kingdom – we are Your ambassadors.
 

Therefore,

You have called us to be a spiritual community: a people who depend on You, live for You and are governed by You. 

You have called us to be a relational community: a people who are committed to one another in love.
You have called us to be a maturing community: a people who are growing in their knowledge of You, in Christ-likeness and in love.
You have called us to be a healing community: a people of hope who bring restoration.
You have called us to be a generous community: a people who give beyond expectation.
You have called us to be an outward-focused community: a people who reach out to the unsaved and needy.
You have called us to be a serving community: a people who sacrificially help others.
You have called us to be a creative community: a people who celebrate their gifts for your glory.
You have called us to be a multiplying community: a people who influence with and birth and establish Your Kingdom wherever they are.
 

We believe that this is what we are created for in Christ to be and to do for Your glory. As Your Kingdom community, we ask You for the grace, the wisdom and the power to fulfill Your will for us.
In Jesus’ Name.
Amen.


Frances then shared a message on the centrality of Christ, looking at the letter to the Colossians and the apostle Paul's emphasis on Christ-centred living. You can listen to the message here. Frances showed us how Christ is the centre of everything and that everything is from Christ, through Christ, for Christ and everything is moving towards Christ's return. Knowing the truth that Jesus is the centre of everything, the question was raised whether Christ is the centre of our lives and whether Jesus is governing each of our lives as we submit to His authority. In response to the message, people made a fresh commitment to Jesus to reestablish that He is the centre of their lives.

Francois Botes

Glory to God!

Our Resonating Heaven Conference with Francois Botes was awesome! We truly had a weekend of hearing and experiencing the Father's heart. You can listen to Francois' teaching here.

On Sunday we continued to look at what it means to Live C.H.U.R.C.H:
  • To be a community that lives Christ-centred lives.
  • To be a community that lives holy lives.
  • To be a community that lives in unity.
  • To be a community that lives in relationship.
  • To be a community that co-labours.
  • To be a community that lives healthy lives.
 We then noted the following,
  • Jesus Christ is the head of His body, the Church. Ephesians 4:15,16
  • As a Christ-centred community, the church must submit to the authority, will and wisdom of Christ if she is to be like Him in this world. 1 John 2:6
  • Jesus must become the believer's new reality so that his or her life is viewed and experienced completely in Christ. Galatians 2:20
  • The apostle Paul lived with Christ as his reality. For him, to live was Christ so that Christ became his life. Likewise the believer must learn to live with Christ as his or her reality. Paul writes,
“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20
“Christ, who is your life..” Colossians 3:4
“To live is Christ.” Philippians 1:21
“Christ is all and is in all.” Colossians 3:11
“And he died for all so that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.” 2 Corinthians 5:15
“The reality..is found in Christ.” Colossians 2:17
“Christ in us, the hope of glory” Colossians 1:27
  • The believer is one with Christ. Consequently, the believer can view his or her past, present and future in Christ.
  • Christ is the Medium through which the believer exists and lives for the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 8:6
  • God is omnipresent and therefore always present to us. Psalm 139:5-12
  • To live a Christ-centred life is to be present to God. James 4:8

As the Church lives in the reality of Christ and is present to Him, she lives a Christ-centred life.

In response to God's Word to us, we prayed the Truth together to be present to Jesus. You can read the prayer here. We praise God for revealing His truth to us and for helping us to live C.H.U.R.C.H.!


This Saturday we will have our Church Day together. It will be a fun time together as we hear what God is doing with KLF and where He is taking us. It will also be an opportunity to find out more about what takes place behind the scenes at KLF.
