New Spiritual Lens

2. New Spiritual Lens I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know: • the hope to which he has called you, • the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,  • and his incomparably great power for us who believe. (Ephesians 1:18-19) 以弗所書 Efesios1:18-19 18 並且照明你們心中的眼睛，使你們知道他的恩召有何等指望，他在聖徒中得的基業有何等豐盛的榮耀； 19 並知道他向我們這信的人所顯的能力是何等浩大，18 Pidotambiénque les seaniluminados los ojos del corazón para quesepan a quéesperanzaél los ha llamado, cuáles la riqueza de sugloriosaherencia entre los santos, 19 y cuán incomparable es la grandeza de supoder a favor de los quecreemos. Esepoderes la fuerzagrandiosa y eficaz

3. Importance of vision Without vision the people perish. Without vision the people cast off restraint (Proverbs 29:18)  箴言 Proverbios 29:18 18 沒有異象[a]，民就放肆；唯遵守律法的，便為有福。 18 Donde no hay visión, el pueblo se extravía; ¡dichosos los que son obedientes a la ley!

4. Citizenship: Identity in Christ 20 But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Saviour. 21 He will take our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like his own, using the same power with which he will bring everything under his control. (Philippians 3:20) 腓立比書 Filipenses 3:20 20 我們卻是天上的國民，並且等候救主，就是主耶穌基督，從天上降臨。 20 En cambio, nosotrossomosciudadanos del cielo, de dondeanhelamosrecibir al Salvador, el SeñorJesucristo.

5. Citizenship: Identity in Christ 18 For through (Jesus Christ) we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. 19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone… (Ephesians 2:19) 以弗所書 Efesios 2:19 19 這樣，你們不再做外人和客旅，是與聖徒同國，是神家裡的人了。 19 Por lo tanto, ustedesya no son extrañosniextranjeros, sinoconciudadanos de los *santos y miembros de la familia de Dios,

6. Citizenship: Identity in Christ if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away…all things have become new. God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them… 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:17-21

7. Citizenship: Identity in Christ The real you is your spirit man, which is alive in Christ when you are born again.

8. Visitational vs. Habitational

9. Transformation 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

14. John Jacks 2013 • there shall come to you this one and that one saying join our movement, join our thing, join us, join us and they want you to be one of them but I want you to hold your ground and understand that the day is coming where you shall rise up and say you can be one of us if you would like. For there shall come many who are planted from this house, and there shall be networking that shall go forward, with the understanding of the relationship that is there.

15. John Jacks 2013 • I’m going to cause it to come within you a determination that, I will relate to those people and I will love those people but I will not join their movement, I will not join what they are doing for God is causing you to be one who has understanding of what he is doing. • the reality is the spirit of God is saying there are those that will need what you have, there are those that will need that relationship… be prepared to build what is necessary to be able to bring those people alongside and to do what God has called you to do. There are so many that will love you to be part of them but God is saying no, don’t join them.

16. John Jacks 2013 • I really see a movement coming out of this house that’s being that core, the nucleus of the movement. There’s going to come people through the training center that will be planted in this nation, will planted in the outback, will be planted in other places and other nations, and it’s the world, not just Asia but it’s the world that you look at. It’s the world on the map before you ICC.

17. Jeremiah Yap – Oct 2012 • I see a world map over the whole church ICC, a map of the world that is increasing several times – my dear brothers and sisters you don’t know what God is going to release you into the significance and bigness of God’s work. • You may think there’s a transition going on – there is also an ENLARGEMENT going on… • You will be fitted into the bigger picture of what is going on in Australia and in the world.

18. Jeremiah Yap – Oct 2012 • The Lord will bring about this kind of cross-pollination, bring about an enlargement – Isaiah 43 – God is going to enlarge his tent, the kingdom ministry of God in this this church, this nation and it’s about strengthening the stakes so his tent will hold in the day of his glory

21. Service 9 Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: 11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
