New Covenant Revolution.

Better Belief Through the Power of YouTube

Read this:
The No-Longer-a-Mystery Mystery of the Five Realms - Jonathan Welton
________
Let's see what this sounds like.
Round 1:
Devote a couple of hours/sacrifice a night of Netflix for this. I promise that you will count it time better spent, and this will a remain a benchmark of understanding for you going forward. Identity and Inheritance, if we understand these, we are untouchable by evil and undaunted by this planet of fear.

Overlook the ancient videotape and rough audio, and embrace the notion that you get to hear the first shot fired in the New Covenant Revolution.

Some suggestions to maximize your experience:

 • Optional but recommended: Take 12 mins to first listen to this: 
Keith Green's Prodigal Son Suite
Just close your eyes and soak it.

 • Before starting the Welton video, put your hand on your head, and speak this little activation:

Holy Spirit, free my mind to absorb what is coming. Keep me sharp, bring to mind all of the Old Testament covenants that I've read, give me fresh eyes to see them in a new light. Illuminate and open up the library of my mind, be my librarian to silence distractions in this place so I can study, learn, and advance. Although I don't know, I want to know; move in this mind. I open myself up to your New Covenant in Jesus. Here I am, in Christ, asking for new wisdom. Reveal to me now.

 • During the Welton session, stay focused during the heavy history lesson in the middlemost section; you need this deep comprehension of covenant background as foundation. 

 • Take a break at the 64 minute mark/with 36 minutes to go, stretch, do a little breathing and business with God to lock onto the Father's heart regarding sin-free forgiveness and universal reconciliation before continuing. 

 • When you restart the talk, there is a 11 minute "detour" as Welton describes some stuff that is important to those looking for the messiah, but less likely to excite us who already understand Jesus. Don't let this section of asphalt pave over the open road you've just driven - relax and think of it as review.

• At the end, put your hand on your head again, and speak the final activation - translate it on the fly into the first person; speak it over yourself. When prompted to take the hand of "someone next to you," spiritually take the hand of someone you know who's uncertain of their stature in Christ.

 • Welcome yourself to the real NCR. You're God's ambassador in Jesus.

Round 2:
Okay, have you done all that? Really? Good. Okay, let's lock it down another way, conceptually.

There's a couple of things going on as you take in this second talk.

You get to hear the evolution of a topic. This is the same talk, but 2 years later. Welton is a different player, and the topic, while of the same thrust, is 98% different in nature. And, feel the expansion of Welton as teacher, he's grown along with the subject of study. Feel the difference in tone.

Relearn it all again, in a samedifferent oldnew way.

This round, we're not nearly as directive.
You can skip the first 30 minutes, and bypass the preliminaries (a succinct dismantling of the notion of gender inequality/women speaking out in church in 1 Corinthians, and one point from Raptureless: the Mark of the Beast explained).
Otherwise, listen it up; you're on your own.

Round 3:
Okay, this has been mostly theoretical. Let's begin to consider how this plays out in RL. Introducing Danny Silk, pastor from Bethel in Redding.

God is in charge, He is not in control.

Danny Silk (10 March 2011) Unpunishable
Danny begins his talk at the 49 minute mark (Worship and some ministry precedes the message. From 31 to 42 mins, you may be motivated, as I was, by some gloriful people exercising their growing gifting in words of knowledge).
Huge value in this message, especially in how this New Covenant worldview effects our ability and capability to love. Find an extreme example of what we do when confronted with failure in the concluding illustrative story.
_______
Round 4:
Find the symptom, which initially appears to be the problem, dig/ask questions and get revelation of what is the true problem, then sever/solve that underlying problem.

Danny Silk again; a message based on his book, Culture of Honor.
This may save you a read, or inspire you to buy the book. Very moving, and an extension into our New Covenant identity as one who will release love, value, permission, equipment and strength - and new elevation - in others.
If you were moved by the example at the end of Unpunishable of the repentant pastor, then love on the illustrative story at the end of this; another repetition with variation on the theme of how this sort of counseling plays out in forgiveness and redemption, to bring those who stumble into a fresh place of wholeness - rather than discard them in their brokenness.

Round 5:
I was wondering for the past couple of weeks: Why is the New Covenant the 5th realm? Why can't we just start off in the New Covenant? Do we really have to learn all that Church-realm old-covenant mindset, only to have to unlearn it later? Jonathan Welton's Revealing the Heart of the Father speaks to that. 

Another follow-up and restatement of the New Covenant, this time with an eye to presenting the good news as New Covenant good news – and, a restatement of the notion that our identity is all about really abiding in how the Father feels for us; pre-forgiven and fully loved.
