The Newness of Spirit Podcast

The Vine and the Branches by Homera Homer-Dixon Part 3

We conclude our reading from the author's Spirit-taught experience of sufferings in His eternal purposes, and the fruit which comes froth.  May the Spirit of God renew the eyes of our hearts to see our place in the Vine from His point of view!

The Vine and the Branches by Homera Homer-Dixon Part 2

In this episode we learn how the experience of the abiding branch requires suffering if there is to be fruit.  May what the author shares with us steady our hearts and lift our focus to Jesus our True Vine!

The Vine and the Branches by Homera Homer-Dixon Part 1

I came across this little book recently, and it is so full of life that I just had to share it with you!  Clearly the author has walked in close fellowship with the Lord, and she has passed on her lessons to us in a beautiful way.  

9 The Son As The Lamb: How The Lamb Judges

Judgments happen so easily -- without us even realizing it, in fact.  This is because they spring from the deepest places within us.  Even so with the Eternal Son, whose nature is so different from ours.  His judgements are so very different.  But He lives in us, so His judgments can triumph over ours!

8 The Son As The Lamb: Blessing From Below

Man's wisdom says we must be powerful, important, or higher-up in order to do any good in the world.  Lamb's wisdom says there is no need for position or authority.  He came to earth, died on the Cross, and so blessed from below!

7 The Son As The Lamb: The Honor That Comes From God Only

Honor from God, or honor from man... Which does God's Son receive?  He desires the honor that His Father gives.  Now He lives in us by His Lamb nature, and we are free from our cravings for earthly honor.  We can now allow the Son to live unto His Father!

6 The Son As The Lamb: The Lamb As A Spectacle Part 2

Continuing in our meditation as the Lamb being made a public display, we now explore how Christ as our Life will manifest in this way in His people.  It is the very nature of Christ to only move in Oneness with His Father, even when it leads to the Cross.  He is no different in us today.  In us, He stays low and allows the Father to bring what pleases Him for the greatest glory and fruitfulness.

5 The Son As The Lamb: The Lamb As A Spectacle Part 1

When the Lamb -- the eternal Spirit -- manifests in our material world, what happens?  Well, it was not always an easy road for Jesus!  In this episode, we explore how the Lamb appears to earth-bound humanity.  But what appears foolish and wasteful to people is actually of eternal value to God the Father!

4 The Son As The Lamb: Surrendered

The Son not only did what the Father wanted Him to do; His nature is to be in a continual state of loving surrender to the Father's heart desires.  There is no fear in love!  As we consign our flesh to the Cross of Jesus Christ, the Surrendered One will live His life in us and we will enjoy His peace.

3 The Son As The Lamb: The Obedient Son

"Obedient unto death, even the death of the Cross." This is a beautiful description of the Spirit of the Son from before the foundation of the world.  He is so deeply given to His Father that He is has no self-protection in play.  This is the Spirit that the Father has communion with, and this is why He raised His Son from the dead.  
And now that Son lives in us.
