Episode description

Strap yourselves in for this one everybody! This portal is going to not only blow your minds, but challenge your soul...

In this special two hour bonus episode, our portals team hit you with so many powerful truths that you are gonna be pressing the rewind button over and over again. 

Taped live from our social distancing location and coming to you in the midst of getting ready to breakout of our cocoons, our portals team is here to serve up the gems. Hosted by Ps. Nathan Kassas and joined by our senior leaders -- Dr Robyn Kassas and Ps. Tony Kassas -- this episode unpacks some of the most hidden questions that you have been asking. 

Ps. Tony get's the ball rolling with the recap of his powerful message on "The Repetition Of Faith". He shares the much needed understanding on how the perseverance of faith pushes our faith to move past infancy and into maturity. He also dives into the different repetitions that we try to emphasize over faith such as vanity and self righteousness. And finally Ps. Tony brings in the powerhouse revelation about understanding our legislative authority as activating that. 

If that wasn't enough to keep us going, then Dr Robyn steps in and begins to lay down challenge after challenge. Both her and Ps. Tony open up the difference between presumptuous faith and real faith. There is a difference between thinking you have heard God and knowing you have God. She continues to remind us who this is all about and that God is the writer, director, and producer of this production called life. We sometimes allow ourselves to believe the lie that it's our plan and He fits into it. In addition, we reverse the correct process which is His ability combined with our availability, and we think allow ourself to think that it's our ability and God needs to be available. Wow, what a challenging statement that was. 

Then gem and gem, truth after truth, the team unravel the deep secrets of deeper relationship with the Lord. 

Dr Robyn shows us the power of the cross and that death is the first step but living in resurrection is the whole fulfillment. Many of us as Christians are trying too hard to die rather than live. She reminds us that we no longer live, but it's Christ within us. Now our righteousness is no longer just positional but actual, we are clothed with Jesus the righteousness himself. Confused? Well you will have to listen to the whole portal to gain the full understanding. Therefore, Dr Robyn brings the heat and the fire to keep us in the place of remembering that wrong pictures, the wrong coach. The pictures that we see form our approach to God. 

She finalizes the whole discussion with the clincher...experience or lifestyle? We need to transition from experience to lifestyle but cause that is the only way that we are going to make it in this breakout. We can't every go back to normal because things are never going to be the same ever again. We need to move forward into seeing that a lifestyle of intimacy and communion is the only way to make it. Experience can't cut it anymore, and part of that means we must move into living in Resurrection life.  Remember death makes you a student, but life makes you a graduate.
