Transformed - Module Two - Session Four

In this final session of Module Two we confirm that we are prepared to build what is seen on what is unseen. Our foundation will not be seen by anyone but you and the Lord! We also explore the idea of identity through Gods creation of family. When we see our identity this way, things become simpler and more ordered.
We also look at the way you beome indistinguishable from God when we say his word, when we live in his will and when we follow his ways.

Here is a link to the module two checklist. This will help you to assess if you are ready to continue forwards, or if you should go back and explore previous modules more.

Transformed - Module Two - Session Three

This is the third session of our second Module - Foundation. In this session of live teaching at the message Trust https://maps.app.goo.gl/dS331ujc4KJTTAhq7 We think of rooms as individual relationships, which then produce personal responsibilities. This links to the idea of identity, which a lot of people struggle with. This Bible based approach says that your identity is formed by your roles in life. Father, Mother, brother, sister, these are the roles that God has designed and He uses them to knit us together as a fellowship of saints.

Transformed - Module Two - Session Two

We are now in the middle of the second module of four on this course. This one is called the ground floor. I call it the ground floor of 'normality' because it is built on the foundation and it supports the first floor of vision and ministry.

In this live teaching session you will learn valuable and important guidance on how to begin working with your first 'part', following the ideas of unblending and the observer position.

Please consider reading the book if you are getting something from these videos. It really helps me get the message out there.

Thank you.

Transformed - Module Two - Session One

This is the first of the second module live teaching sessions. Following the first module on preparation, the second module will focus on building a solid and stable foundation on which to build our new life. Using Jesus' teaching from Matthew 7 and verse 24 onwards we will be encouraging people to build our house upon the 'rock' of the word of God.

Transformed - Module One - Session Four

In this episode of live teaching we look at the question of LOCATION in considering building a new life. When we consider moving house, the question of who you will be moving away from, and who you will be moving closer to, should be considered. Even though our new house will be a metaphor (as used by jesus in Matthew 7:24) the question is still relevant.

It is likely that the changes you want to make in your life will necessitate changing some relationships. In some cases it will be a simple adjustment of seeing some people less or a little more, but in other cases it may mean removing yourself from relationships, and this can be very difficult.

It's not just the relationships with others, the real cost of the new house is the old house! And of course the relationship with yourself is the main component of the changes you will make. This session also introduces you to the concept of parts and invites you to consider and name your first 'part'. 

Thank you for taking the time to watch this session, and I hope you get a lot from it.

Transformed - Module One - Session Three

In this video we approach the idea of preparation from the first of three main questions, namely cost. What are you wanting to achieve as part of your spiritual development? Whatever it is for you personally, the preparation you make will be a huge factor in your results. Spiritual progress is difficult if you do not understand the difference between the flesh and the spirit, and especially difficult if you do not kow that they can never mix! But once you understand this difference, and start by making a very clear distinction between the two of them, you can begin the process of inner discipling. This is one of the main resources that the Lord has left us once we are on a salvation journey.

Transformed - Module One - Session Two

The Transformed Course is for Christians who are struggling to make spiritual progress. It offers a Biblical approach that replaces the medical model. It's not only for people who have become dependent or addicted, but anyone who believes in the word of God and yet struggles to know how to put it into practice. The course has four modules PREPARATION, FOUNDATION, GROUND FLOOR and FIRST FLOOR. and uses the metaphor of buiding a new life which the Lord uses in Matthew 7 starting from verse 24.

In this session, we see the work of preparation begin with the question of COST. Lots of questions and comments that lead to further clarity on the profound idea of inner discipling.

Interview with Andy Campsall

Thought you might be interested in my interview with Andy Campsall. Listeners will learn some of my background that led to me doing the work I do and teaching this stuff. Thanks again for taking the time.

Transcendence - being an overcomer

In this episode we take the idea of transcendence and open up what it means, how it relates to the idea of overcoming that we get from the Bible, and what it might mean for your progress, development and recovery.

The Bible says that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord is an overcomer, but some Christians don't always feel this way. Especially when things don't go well, or they are disappointed with themselves. This episode shows the way towards contentment and growth following the Biblical approach.
