When we are born again, we become citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven. Although we live in this world, our citizenship has been transferred. We become sons, citizens and ambassadors. We must represent The Father and His Kingdom. Our identity must change.

What is this message of Jesus Christ? Jesus taught and walked in the power of the Holy Spirit. The people asked, "What is this message?" Believers are called to proclaim the message of Jesus. The message of power, freedom, healing and forgiveness.

There is no reason for lawsuits among brethren. Believers should be able to take disputes to leadership or other wise believers for resolution. It is better to be wronged or cheated rather than take disputes before the unrighteous.

Satan would have us to believe there is a lack of resources. The earth and all it contains belong to the Lord. He owns everything. God wants us to trust His promises that He will provide.

Church discipline is a necessary part of the Church. It is never fun nor easy. God calls for order in the Church. The Bible is clear about leadership and conduct of believers.

God calls us to no longer live in darkness but walk in His light. His Word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our paths. We are to live our lives according to His Word. Our lives become transparent and the darkness of the world is expelled.

God created the heavens and the earth. He created all they contain. He also created man. Therefore, all things belong to God. When we are saved, we become children of the Creator. All things become our inheritance.

One of the attributes of God's grace is forgiveness. Without forgiveness we are not in right standing with God. Jesus taught we are to forgive others as God forgives us. Forgiveness reflects the love God has for us and releases freedom.

We must be lead by the Holy Spirit. It is the only way we can be overcomes. If we are not lead by the Spirit, we are subject to follow anything. We are not able to discern between the Kingdom and this world. We cannot hear God's voice.

The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. Learning to obey His teaching keeps us in fellowship with Him. It also keeps us safe from the consequences of sin. Wisdom is acquired through reading the Word, prayer and obedience.
