How often has being 'right' come before loving the person that you're trying to prove wrong? Anca shares how Jesus doesn't pick sides. He combines grace and truth to create an entirely new way... and invites us to do the same.

In the toughest times, God opens a masterclass of preparation. Adam shares a letter from Him to you, and 5 keys to the future for those who are ready.

What is the pattern of Jesus when people have let Him down, betrayed Him and left Him? Adam builds on last week's word about new connections, this time focussing on those existing connections that God, perhaps, wants to renew and restore.

Adam speaks into the new era, and how we experience prophetic new connections that are pregnant in the present-future.

We can analyse whether our priorities and life choices are 'good' or 'bad'... but how about a deeper question? 'Is this above Jesus or under Him?'

Yes, you are Royal... but do you treat your fellow co-heirs as though they are too?

‘Are we calling out the GOLD in one another, or calling out the GRIT?’

‘The question isn’t whether Jesus is LORD of all the earth or not. The question is: ‘To what extent do we recognise Him as Lord of all the earth, which includes Lord of YOU?’

‘To what extent have we embraced a limitless, passionate, don’t care what anyone else thinks, not bothered if it makes people feel uncomfortable, devotion to Jesus?’

‘The foundation of mature trust is not trusting the other person won’t hurt us, but rather trusting that whatever happens; i’ll trust Jesus in it.’

'Formless, empty, dark... but the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters...' Anca shares an inspired word from her time with the Lord. As she gave Him space to speak, here is what she heard.

‘What does it mean to TRUST God? Perhaps it means to trust that He is working in you to make you more like Jesus’

‘trust doesnt take time, trust must be BUILT which takes effort, vulnerability, honesty and sacrifice’

‘If kingdom foundations are laid, demolition isn't needed to build back better...' Adam uses Paul's prayer bulletins as a launch pad. He asks important questions about our relationships with Jesus, Father, and the Spirit, and encourages our kingdom growth at this time.’

'FAITH is getting out of the boat. TRUST is being able to sleep in the midst of the storm' Anca follows Adam's teaching from the previous Sunday, and shares some practical insight into how we can grow our trust in the right place.

'Trust is different to faith. Trust is resting in the Father... Faith is moving in the Father; directing the Power.'

We believe there is new life in the womb of God that we can begin to perceive, protect and have the faith to bring forth. Adam shares about why it's so hard right now, and how to face each day with hope.

Adam explores some of the things that we might need to do to enter into rest, and how we might need to journey in seeing Jesus as He REALLY is...

What will it take to encounter God ways you never have before? If we want to see things we have never seen before, we can't do the same things we've always done... Will we go with Him to the other side?

'We have to learn to rest in Him, be in Him and live in and out of Him; find our source in Him.'
