Don't be alarmed but be alerted!
We understand that these are crazy times we are living through. Our whole narrative of what church -- what life looks like has changed forever. Because of this some of you may be facing some fearful thoughts head on. However, there is a hidden fear that if we don't recognize and try to deny, can eat our hope and faith away.
In this episode of portals, our portals team address this fear head on. Hosted by Ps. Nathan Kassas and led by our amazing Senior Leadership -- Dr Robyn Kassas and Ps Tony Kassas -- the questions is asked, "Is God in control?". Some of you may automatically answer and say, "Yes, of course", but the are you saying it cause you believe it, or are you saying it in hopes of believing it?
Dr Robyn who is led by the Holy Spirit really exposes the fear and teaches us to recognize the questions of the heart. That in doing this, we actually produce real faith and not blind faith. Along with this, Ps. Tony takes us through the Biblical examples of Gideon and the, "Wheat and the Tares", to show us that God will divinely let both evil and good to grow together. Why is this? So that we learn to recognize the real from the counterfeit.
Then the team kick it into over drive addressing the question that some of you are probably asking right now. That questions is, "Is this the end?"
Ps. Tony walks us through biblical barometers of knowing what stage we are at and how to recognize the movements of God so that we don't see darkness as overpowering light. Yes, we may feel that darkness is powerful but light always wins in the end.
Finally to cap it off -- in her true prophetic fashion --Dr Robyn issues the challenge; although we are enquiring of God where He is, maybe He is using the time and history to enquire where we are at. We need to recognize this so that we move from being sheep to being the army.
This portal is definitely one for the books with a strong emphasis on maturing, our part to play, and much needed end-time theology.
