In this message Phil Mason explores what God has already done in us through the new birth, versus what He is now doing in us as we follow Him as He leads us into freedom. There are several factors that remain active in the life of the Christian until we learn how to deactivate them. The world, the flesh, and the devil all continue to exercise influence in our lives until we learn how to cut off these influences through the power of the cross and the power of the blood of Christ. These dark and sinister influences can persist in the life of an unguarded Christian who doesn't understand the power and authority that Christ has given us to become, in his words, “overcomers!” The challenge for each of us is to overcome the world, the flesh, the devil, sin, demonic infiltration, generational strongholds, and emotional brokenness. Jesus has made full provision for our complete freedom, but we must learn how to activate the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives and deactivate every dark thing that seeks to rule and dominate our lives. We hope this message is a blessing to everyone and will encourage you in your ongoing journey to pursue the life of an overcomer.

In our second installment from the Life of The Warrior series,  we explore what it means to walk in true spiritual authority and how authority in God's Kingdom is rooted in deep intimacy with God.  As He walked out his life as a man under authority, Jesus modelled a life fully surrendered to His heavenly Father, His power came from this deep relationship.As sons and daughters of God, we are invited to walk in that same closeness where trust, obedience, and love unlock spiritual authority. This message is a call to draw near, abide in Him, and discover the strength that comes from being intimately related to God.

In this new series, Phil Mason introduces the spiritual warfare paradigm through the lens of King David and his role as warrior-king, appointed and anointed by God to lead Israel into battle.Every battle David won built up his personal testimony of God's loyal love [hesed]. He never lost a battle in all his time as king. David was a hesed warrior, and he is the template for every New Covenant son and daughter.The loyal love of Father God motivates and compels us to take our place on the battlefield and stand as hesed warriors, anointed to fight the Lord's battles, not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities and powers that cause widespread human destruction. There is a great paradox. Love leads us into war. If you want to be commissioned as a hesed warrior and discover the battles the Lord wants you to fight, this podcast is for you.

Jim gave our Easter Sunday message, sharing about the Invitation into Surrender.All relationships have a price, and deep relationships cost deeply. Pay any price to be in the community because even though it's costly, it is worth it! Jim shares how Jesus paid the price for deep relationships on the cross and how we can respond by surrendering to the deep relationship God desires with us. Jesus modelled a supernatural surrender amid suffering and even betrayal, showing us what love looked like! Surrender feels wrong, but it's so right and produces incredible fruit in our lives. It is always a good day for surrender!

The Book of Acts is a hoot! Starting with the day of Pentecost, we see a massive outpouring of God's power and grace! This cataclysmic event set the disciples up for a lifestyle of miracles and gift-based ministry.  The disciples continued steadfastly in prayer because they had learned from their teacher to cultivate a prayer reflex. At times, they were overwhelmed by their calling until they understood that prayer was the key to unlocking the resources of heaven! They had been commissioned to do miracles and needed to understand their source. Fortunately, Jesus had taught them! The Lord taught them to embrace a simple, childlike prayer reflex. No fanfare, no striving, just simple faith in the Father!  Our prayer life matters because it most clearly expresses our connection to the Lord. Life makes sense when we learn to respond this way; even our betrayals and losses call us to a deeper connection in prayer! God uses everything to draw us to prayer! Maria discusses several fruits revealed through a prayer life in the New Testament, but her greatest lesson in this message is that prayer releases God's glory. We were created for the glory and to operate in miracles; if you want to witness it, start praying and commit to a steadfast prayer life that is unwavering in Him.

Joe continues the Series Acts 2:42 and shares on group identity in a Christian context drawn from 1 Peter 2:9, which declares believers as a "chosen people," a royal priesthood called to proclaim God's light. This identity is anchored in community, not individuality.Using the Beatitudes from Mark's Gospel as a framework, the values of humility, mercy, and peacemaking shape this collective identity. The poor in spirit, those who mourn, and the meek are blessed, illustrating a group rooted in dependence on God, not worldly strength.Together, these truths call Christians to unite in living out their shared identity as a countercultural testimony of grace and hope.

In this message, we explore the transformative role of joy in our spiritual journey. Building on last week's teaching on Hesed—God's steadfast love—we dive into the neuroscience behind joy and its impact on our identity, healing, and relationships. Scripture and science agree that we are wired for joy, and that transformation happens in our lives as we position ourselves to experience the Father's delight. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 3:18, 1 John 3, and the story of the prodigal son, this message reveals how joy strengthens community, restores hearts, and fast-tracks us into deeper intimacy with God. Joy is not just an emotion; it is a relational reality that breaks fear, heals hearts, builds belonging, and transforms us into the image of our Heavenly Father. God is looking to remove every veil and blockage to intimacy in our lives, in order that we might step into ever increasing measures of freedom and breakthrough.This message is an invitation to encounter His delight afresh so that we can step into the fullness of our identity as His beloved child!

Acts 2:42 describes the first church community, birthed on the Day of Pentecost. The outpouring of the Father's love and the power of the Holy Spirit welded together a high-hesed community united by the shared experience of God's hesed; His loyal, unfailing love that builds powerful bonds of attachment love to God and one another. This high water mark forever stands as the benchmark of true Spirit-filled community where everyone is under the revival anointing of ‘Hesed va Emet,' where all the believers were gripped and electrified by God's ‘mercy and truth.' The Holy Spirit continually seeks to reenact this ‘charismatic moment' where all the believers are swept up together in the flow of Hesed va Emet. The Holy Spirit is always at work to build high-hesed communities that replicate the experience of the early church gripped by divine love, power, glory, and truth. We hope you enjoy this message from Phil Mason.

In the Book of Acts, chapter 2, we see the mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the healing and infilling of many people! This outpouring resulted in a rush of energy for the things of God, and it says in verse 42 that, as a result: “They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common.” We can see here that apostolic authority builds a safe place for prayer, fellowship, and communion practices, but the common thread is the power of God displayed in the apostles. It became the glue that drove the awe and ecstasy that blew up in and around them as miracles took place! God has a “recipe” for His Bride to mature and grow, and it involves right relationship with the Body of Jesus, starting with spiritual authority. Coming under the teachings of the apostles who were moving in this authority made for a seismic shift within the disciples as they surrendered their lives to the Lordship of Jesus. The overflow of this posture is always a divine grace and energy for the Lord—“running and not growing weary!” It all starts with a heart posture of connection. Community then becomes spiritually explosive as love, joy, and peace are multiplied from dynamic encounters with God.

As we enter into the new year prophetic vision is shared for the year ahead by our pastors and elders.Maria touches on “listening prayer” first, and later reminds us about our regional calling to intercession, healing , and prayer assignments over our surrounding cities.Liz speaks about the Lord's lightning strikes of life-giving renewal this year, and distilling the new direction for 2025 through rest in Christ.Phil shares the importance of staying steady on our horses to stay with Jesus as He rides into war. He warns about the pressure increase in 2025 and the potential for either falling away or becoming "Spirit riders" who respond swiftly to the leading of Jesus.Rosie speaks about the Levite's call to be gatekeepers, urging us to take ownership and authority to stand on the promises of God in our position here for our region.Prue's compassionate word stirs us to intercede for restoration and hope for the homeless and displaced community members in the temporary housing pods for our region's flood victims. 

In this message, Liz Flipo, opens up the theme of Emmanuel, “God with us.”Christmas and the coming of the end of the year are a time of thresholds, to examine our hearts and listen to his heart as to what he is calling us into in the year ahead. It is a time of preparing room for Him as in the Christmas carol, “Joy To The World,” and walking into the next season full of joy and hope.

In this message, Phil Mason explores the spirituality of King David and his passion for a deep relationship with God. Raised in a Hebrew culture, David understood that Yahweh, the creator of the universe, had set His heart on an intimate relationship with His sons and daughters. David was a mystic who sought an unmediated encounter with the living God. God chose David because he was a man after His own heart. The Psalms are David's personal journal of his journey with God through all the ups and downs of life. David learned how to be in ‘relational mode' because God is always in ‘relational mode.' David communed with God face-to-face. He encountered the glory realm of God and learned to abide in God's hesed within the Tabernacle of David. He confronted his own propensity to slide out of relational mode, where he disengaged from the heart of God and his own heart. May this message draw you into a deeper relationship with God, like David who sought the Lord all his days.

In this message, Maria Mason shares about the tool of worship to awaken us to the Spirit. She shares that our choice to worship is powerful, and when we do so, we are sounding an alarm to come alive in the things of the Spirit. We begin to partner with God to be revived, renewed and refreshed. Maria is followed by Liz Flipo, who shares the power of worship and warfare. This was so powerful, as there are many examples of the power of worship displacing the powers of darkness in the Old Testament. God anoints the songs of the saints to bring breakthroughs and the glory of God. Liz shared powerfully about how songs can set us up for breakthroughs, but more than that, our partnership with the Lord intensifies that breakthrough! After this, Toby, one of our worship leaders, also shared how worship is one of the critical ways the Holy Spirit awakens us to intimacy! God is at work to quicken revelation and power to us so that our hearts come fully alive when we behold Him. We are often overwhelmed with our own issues, but God invites us into the throne room to behold Him. When we behold Him, we are changed from glory to glory! What a great Sunday in the glory of God.

In 1 Corinthians 11, Paul draws a direct correlation between the spiritual state of the Corinthian church and the degree of supernatural power that was flowing in the church. He confronted the reality that the Corinthians were full of dishonor toward one another as members of Christ's body. “For if you eat the bread or drink the cup without honoring the body of Christ, you are eating and drinking God's judgment upon yourself. That is why many of you are weak and sick and some have even died.” (1 Corinthians 11:29-30 NLT) While there were clearly healers and miracle workers in the Corinthian church, they were unable to heal the sick and some were even dying of illnesses that were commonly healed in evangelistic settings. Paul hands us a major key in releasing greater healing in the church. We must deal with our offenses, our unforgiveness, our judgments and our dishonor toward our brothers and sisters if we want to see the fullness of God's healing power flow inside His church.

In this first message for our new Awakening Series, Matt Prater from New Hope Church Brisbane, shares a powerful message on the importance of evangelism.

In this message, Rosie discusses the transformative power of a community that practices safe, confessional culture. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 12 and 13, we explore how, as the body of Christ, we deeply need one another and how being connected in community is essential for both our growth and healing.Jesus tells us that we will know the truth, and the truth will set us free. As we anchor ourselves to the truth of God's Word as our standard, we become less vulnerable to buy into voices and ideas that lead us away from intimacy with Him. Staying connected to God's Word and His body is crucial for discerning the truth. When we choose to courageously expose the thoughts, lies, and accusations that come against us and against God's character, to the light, we will experience increasing measures of freedom and healing. Moreover, we will be equipped and activated to help those around us step into greater freedom.

Ken dives into God's purposes and calling on our lives.He proposes that “a critical part of our own restoration is making peace with God, by making peace with who God made us to be”.Ken further clarifies a process of deducing our calling by suggesting that when we come to an understanding of who we are without Jesus, and who we are with Jesus, the contrast allows us to see more clearly what His purposes for us are.Ken speaks of God using everyday things in our lives to build the foundations, and assures us that God supplies the gifting needed.Yet floundering, rebellion, avoidance, and distractions are often habits keeping God's plans at arms length, while slowly drowning out His voice.Ken calls us to accept who and what we are, and the purposes given to us, and to begin to walk with confidence in God to lean into the Divine pattern for our life. He reminds us that our journey into our high calling is constituted by many heart thresholds and powerful heart processes.

In this particular message, Joe uses the Restoration of the walls of Jerusalem from the book of Nehemiah, a prophetic picture of what it looks like to build into the future as Father and sons.He uses what he thinks is the mundane details of Nehemiah's building plans in the Old Testament to draw out processes and mile-markers to the restoration project of Christ on the inside of us. He uses it to cast a vision for healing and calls us to not just settle for peace for the short term, like king Hezekiah, but set a pattern for generations to follow.God desires to restore us completely, and there is nothing that He cannot do! He wishes for our inner and outer world to shine like polished gold, like clear glass. This long-term vision gives us purpose to follow Christ even though the journey costs us. God wants to send out fully healed sons to lead others into their own journey as sons and daughters, so that Jesus can get what he prayed for in John 17:11 ‘that they may be one, even as we are one”

In this ‘fireside chat,' Phil and Maria Mason open up a conversation around deep level heart healing, their journey into this theme, their personal experiences on the way and their vision for a community where everyone is on the journey. They lead us on a journey through some of the big concepts surrounding inner healing, such as letting God into your core, validating your trauma, repentance and dismantling sin structures, attachment issues, breaking agreements with lies, inner vows, bitter root judgments, and overcoming offense: all light and breezy topics. A huge part of our transformational journey is finding the right language and building an authentic heart culture within the church that values prayer ministry with one another as a lifestyle rather than a six-monthly tune-up. We hope this conversation blesses you and shines a light on the power of building a deep heart culture in every local church.

Andy Dozier, a team member of Orbis Ministries (Ken Fish) spoke recently at the Northern Rivers school of the prophetic. He presented a phenomenal message that gave a wonderful introduction to the ministry of inner healing. He opened by talking about the fragility of the human soul, and how we were never designed to be exposed to so much trauma and rejection. He went on to explain how God brings healing to reverse all of the choices we have made in our negative responses to the trauma and the pain of life on planet earth. This is a tremendous message and we would encourage everyone to give it a listen Andy was a tremendous blessing at the school of the prophetic. We hope you enjoy this message and that you are also blessed. Andy's biggest point was that a heart that is healing is a heart that is hearing everything God is saying.

Maria Mason begins our new series on Heart Life this week. This series explores all things related to inner healing and heart management. In this particular message, Maria delves into the book of Nehemiah, a prophetic picture of the profound restoration of the walls of Jerusalem. This unique story of Nehemiah in the Old Testament imparts invaluable lessons to us about our journey. It teaches us to fight for our healing, just as Nehemiah fought against the distractions that the enemy brought to thwart God's purposes during the reconstruction.God desires to restore us completely, and there is nothing that He can not do! Do you have some broken spaces in your life? Do you have any broken connections? Are you feeling wounded? That makes you a perfect target for walking with the Lord toward healing. The restoration of the heart ministry is a central message of Jesus' ministry in the Kingdom of God. Let's step up for fresh commissioning to heal the broken-hearted places in our lives, reassured and comforted by our faith in God's healing power.If God can heal bodies, He sure can heal hearts! He is more than able!

The call to intimacy with God is a call to draw near to his heart and listen to his heartbeat. What is on the heart of our Father in heaven? What moves him? What motivates him? What are his highest purposes for our lives? For those who long for a deeper intimacy with God, the concerns of heaven ought to become our concerns as we align our hearts with the heart of our Father.In this message, Phil Mason explores a dimension of our intimate relationship with God through the lens of the role of the fivefold ministry as outlined by the apostle Paul in Ephesians chapter 4. The fruit of fivefold ministry is an explosive “knowledge of the Son of God”in the local church. (Ephesians 4:13) This is the knowledge of the heart of the beloved Son in his relationship with his beloved Father. May this message challenge you to draw near to God and align yourself with the things that move his heart: his desire to see a mature Church with a mature expression of sonship. We hope you enjoy this message.

The battle for the secret place is ultimately the battle for the focus and the affection of the heart!We see in the book of Exodus that God chose to lead His people through a wilderness on their journey from Egypt to the promised land. This is not an isolated story. There are many accounts throughout the whole bible of followers of God who experienced wilderness seasons. Even Jesus himself was led into a wilderness after his baptism. In this message, Rosie looks at the purpose of these wilderness seasons in our lives, as times of testing and strengthening with the goal of transformation and drawing us into deeper trust and dependence on God. Rosie looks at Song of Solomon chapter 8:5 as a key verse which describes the Shulamite as one who is, “coming up from her wilderness leaning on her beloved.”The Lord is seeking a bride who will trust him, partner with him, depend on him and lean on him like John the beloved at the last supper. He is also longing to set us free, to heal us and to transform us. These are things that will happen for us in the wilderness, if we choose to go on this journey with God. He has been preparing our hearts for this journey and he is longing to lead us “through the archway of trust” to wage war with him in the lion's den and the leopard's lair. (SS 4:8) In order that we will be transformed and come out of this season leaning on our beloved.

In Luke 10, we read about Martha and Mary, two sisters who offered hospitality to Jesus and the people traveling with Him. They had a brother, Lazarus. The three young people were friends of Jesus. When Jesus came to eat at their home, Mary sat at the Lord's feet and was consumed by His teachings, heart, and ministry. On the other hand, Martha was consumed with serving and preparing the dinner, but as we dive into this portion of scripture, Maria Mason opens an even deeper reality of what was happening. Martha represents our orphan heart, which often manifests a victim mindset and uses victim language to distract us from love. Mary represents the transformative power of the secret place, a place of intimate communion with the Lord. She chose the ‘better thing' because she had already decided to be a person of the heart. Mary had predetermined to take responsibility for her inner life, which is the most important choice.Maria shares some wisdom about our needs when we come to God. We need time to process our pain, lament, or repent. She offers some advice on using our time well so that when we do come to sit at His feet, we are free to gaze and not be in an emo mess. Processing in the secret place is not always a good use of our time and cuts into valuable time just looking at His face.The Bible tells us to buy oil, wine, and bread. This is a metaphor for being in God's presence and withdrawing from His heart as we sit and rest in His love. Let us learn to pray like a Bride and not like a widow, full of revelation and light as we look on the Lord's face. It's from here that we are empowered, shifting from being a victim to a victor.

The Good News is God loves you with an unconditional love and He chooses to love you in that way every single day. God wants to be in relationship with us, and He values every moment we will give Him. So what kind of relationship does God want to have with us? All of Scripture is full of rich wisdom and insight on this. In this message, we take a look at the relationship between Mary of Bethany and Jesus. Mary went on to participate in the Messianic mission of Jesus because of the special insight she had received from her time with Him. Many who were serving Jesus completely misunderstood and ultimately missed out on partnering and supporting Jesus through the greatest act of love the world has ever seen. Why is it that not all who served Jesus knew what their Master was doing?In Luke 10:42, Jesus says of Mary of Bethany that she had chosen the good portion and that it was a good thing to do and would remain with her always. What did Jesus mean by choosing the good portion? We explore the Psalms to uncover what choosing the good portion looks like as a lifestyle and what fruit it bears for our lives.  Jesus encourages us in John 15 to bear the fruit of remaining in His love and the wisdom given to the Disciples in this passage of Scripture was blessed to them because Jesus saw them as cherished friends.Looking at a cross-section of Scriptures we draw out revelation on what it looks like at a personal level and at a community level to have a group of beloved sons and daughters choosing a daily relationship with Jesus, living from the abide-and-go impartation of His Spirit, and following in the more excellent way of love.

David Balestri takes us on a tour of the concept of the Imago Dei, the image of God. Human beings are image bearers, meaning we carry and express the very image and likeness of God. In Genesis 1:26, we read, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.” Through the fall, certain aspects of the image and likeness of God were lost, such as His holiness and His glory. However, through redemption, the glory of God has been restored to the sons and daughters of God. Paul now declares, “Christi in you, the hope of glory!” (Colossians 1:27) David encourages us to step into the glory God has ordained for each of us to walk in. We can now shine with the glory of God. Jesus said, “Let your light so shine…” (Matthew 5:16). May this message inspire you to put on Christ and live large in your witness of Christ in this world.

In Matthew 5:9, Jesus said “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God”. What is this ‘peace' that Jesus is encouraging us to ‘make'? And in particular, what does it look like to cultivate this kind of peace within a Christian community? Join us in Ephesians to hear how Paul encouraged the Jew and Gentile Christians in Ephesus to unify and foster this harmonious peace, despite their cultural differences.

This week our message is from Wayne Benn, our local Crosslink Network leader for Southern QLD. He shares on the power of the outpouring of the Spirit. The ancient custodians of Judaism loved an argument.…and they  had plenty to argue about around the time of Pentecost.However, their arguments became tired and weak against Jesus disciples.Those disciples (fishermen and rascals) were academically inferior and theologically lacklustre. They should have been no match for the theological prowess of the rulers in the synagogue.But Pentecost changed all that.Gods power and authority was given to ordinary people. Its amazing how religious arguments always lose out to Gods power/ miracles/ signs and wonders.Pentecost still happens because God is continuing to pour out His Spirit in the last days. Australia needs to see a church ablaze with the fire of God. Lets keep praying like the Bride for that which has been promised.

In this message in our Good News series, Phil Mason explores our reception of the gospel message. The gospel is not a subject to be mastered by the mind. It is a feast of God's love for the heart. But the Western world has sold us a lie that the mind is the primary organ of perception. That's how most people think in Western education. The truth is, according to the Scriptures, that our heart is the primary organ of perception and that we are to see with the eyes of our heart and have our minds subsequently informed by the revelation light that streams into a soft, open heart. Jesus said, “The eyes of your spirit allow revelation-light to enter into your being. If your heart is unclouded, the light floods in!” (Luke 6:22 TPT) Our goal in receiving the good news is to pursue an ‘unclouded heart' so God can fill us with His love and His light. Jesus said the pure in heart shall see God. (Matthew 5:8) We hope you enjoy this message!

In this message we unpack Ephesians 1:5-6 where we see that the goal of God's grace is His glory. The avenue for which this glory is poured out is through His “tremendous love cascading over us”. Specifically, the cascading adoptive love of the Father. This love as it says in Ephesians is what will “glorify His grace”!We journey through the unpacking of what is grace, why we need it and what it leads to. We learn that God's grace is full of His empowering presence, that grace has dominion and how we can carry that as beloved sons and daughters into a hurting world.We finish with the verse from Matthew 5:14-16 with the stunning revelation that God wants His house, the church, to be the radiant light on the hill where His glory dwells. From here we are sent out as glory carriers to bring the lost and broken back home into these high-level radiant places of his glory. Evangelism is meant to be the overflow of the glorious love that is radiating in the House of God! We are coming into the hour where the church is going to be the most radiant place on earth full of lit-up sons and daughters overflowing with God's love and glory!

In the opening chapter of 2 Corinthians Paul strongly exhorted the early church with the good news that our God is a “Father of compassion and and the God of all comfort” ( See 2Cor 1:3)Paul wasn't just making a “nice” statement. He and Timothy were writing to the Corinthians from circumstances of great hardship, pain and persecution. However in the midst of their trials and weakness, they were experiencing a supernatural encouragement and comfort of God, which enabled them, intern to release this comfort to other believers. Jesus also gave this same message to the apostles before he went to the cross. He said I will not leave you alone, as orphans. I will send you a helper, who will be a comforter, he is called the Holy Spirit (see John 14).In a world full of many false comforts Rosie reminds us that the only true and lasting comfort comes from the Lord. He is calling us to draw near today. However, we always have a choice how we will walk this out. As secure sons and daughters of God we will choose to come to the Father for comfort, but the orphan places in our hearts will also try to convince us to go elsewhere for comfort. Let's draw near to God today and receive all the provision and comfort of heaven that Jesus has made available for us to access in every season.

Lent is a time to traditionally fast and seek God before the Easter celebration of resurrection. Our community will begin a corporate fast on March 10 – Easter Sunday! Watch our social media for ways you can partner with us in this season!Today, however, Maria Mason teaches from Matthew 22 – the Parable of the Banquet. Traditionally, this parable teaches us about the two main groups in history- those who want in on Christ's salvation from sin and those who reject His Lordship. But there's another metaphor as well - those who were once willing to go out of their way to get filled up and those not interested in feasting on the invisible banquet of encounters with God! Jesus said: “Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”This feast is His Kingdom and His love! Encountering God is our birthright and not a deluxe form of Christianity. We must learn to encounter God, and it takes some practice. Being “known by God” is the key. Spend time with Him and let Him know you! It's not all about you knowing God- it's much about God knowing you! Let's get started on a year of encountering God and learning new things so we encounter Him more! This is the good news!

The gospel is the greatest news ever to hit the planet. Whether we are called to the ministry of evangelism or not, we are all called to “do the work of an evangelist.” (2 Timothy 4:5). We all have people in our lives who don't know Jesus and because we know the truth we have a responsibility to share the gospel with others. It is vital that all followers of Jesus know and understand the gospel. It is called “the gospel of grace' because salvation is a free gift for all who believe and repent. We need to prioritize our own personal understanding of the gospel message so we are ready in season and out of season to preach the good news the way Jesus and the Apostles presented it. Salvation is a free gift, but discipleship costs us everything. When we see what Jesus sacrificed so we could be saved, it moves us to sacrifice everything as our act of worship and devotion to Him. We hope this message from Phil Mason blesses you to carry the good news everywhere you go.

The physical laws of light reveal much about the nature of its Author, Jesus. In this message, you'll hear how God wrote His name in light and sent it right across the physical universe! It was the first creative act in Genesis! It was Yahweh's first song…”let there be light...” and it was a glorious display of His power and authority over all creation, “…and there was light.” Jesus is the Light of the world, the Light that leads to life. As the revelation of God's true nature lights up our hearts, and we syncopate our lives with the gracious breath of Yahweh, we can come to understand what it is we have been given by grace through faith. This is a message to challenge the believer! Do you know what it is you've been given? The disciple Peter knew and we take a look at his life in Acts 3 and study the characteristics of his faith to learn from someone who walked in the light of all that had been given to him from Jesus.

This podcast is a recording from an online Book Launch of Maria Mason's latest book. In this podcast, Phil interviews her about this publication. Here is the back cover of her book: God is looking for prophets to unveil His heart of love!When nations need healing, God raises up sons and daughters who carry His heart. Many believe that prophets have one primary assignment: to guide the church toward revival, but God also wants to bring profound transformation to nations, starting in people's hearts. Enter, the heart prophet! Heart prophets are feelers, seers and restorers of hearts. They engage with the Spirit via their senses and can uniquely minister His heart of restoration through the five-fold ministry. They carry the message of repentance, restoration, and revival. Heart Prophets receive heaven's divine intel to communicate God's feelings and heart. They are wired to feel and release the Father's love to heal and restore. This book is a unique manual for an emerging generation of prophets, and it will powerfully equip you to embrace the fullness of your prophetic assignment. Get ready for greater sensitivity to the Spirit of God!

Honey bees are super-important pollinators for flowers, fruits and vegetables. This means that they help other plants grow! All honey bees are social insects and live together in nests or hives. The honeybee is remarkable for its movements in the hive to communicate information to its fellow bees about the location, distance, size, and quality of a particular food source in the surrounding area!Bees all have roles to play, and they do their part within the community! Lots could be said here, but Maria then shared from the acronym of BEES - 4 key areas that God is getting us to build as a community this year and that we are going after! 

B for Business - we are actively growing business in 2024 to create Kingdom wealth and blessings. We are reigniting the business breakfast and will host speakers this year to help us grow Kingdom business mindsets!E for Evangelism - we are also reigniting the evangelism push into the region with a team who are working on several fronts to promote the healing and salvation we have in the Lord Jesus.

We value every person being filled up and living from the divine overflow that is theirs in Christ. The House of Prayer model works because it is refreshing and alive with His presence! Let's Pray!S for Surrender - the call to surrender to your lane, assignments, and the Lordship of Christ is our joy and privilege!Maria also spoke about the need to come forward and continue on in the calling of the Lord in growing in leadership and ministry. The Kingdom is expanding worldwide, and the Father is looking for those who will say yes to all He has in 2024!

The first recorded utterance from the lips of Jesus was “I must be about My Father's business!” (Luke 2:49). As adopted sons and daughters we are called to a new identity as the immediate family of Jesus: His brothers and sisters. Even at the age of 12, Jesus was already consumed by His Father and the advancement of His kingdom on earth. He laid His life down completely to please His Father and to do His will. Jesus lived by the principle of losing His life in order to find it in the Father. If we are willing to lose our lives we will find real life: eternal life in Jesus. Phil Mason's first message for 2024 is a fresh call to lose our lives in order to truly find the purpose of our existence: to live for the Father's business.

Jesus is the God-with-us, our Emmanuel. He gave up everything to be born a baby. He lived among us and so truly does understand humanity. The beginning as well as the end of Jesus' life are the source of our hope and faith. The promise to which we latch our faith is the hope of the experience of the endless love of God cascading into our hearts. Every struggle we go through must be met by love. Our hope is in a Saviour, who is willing to be with us in every situation and will supply every lack that we have. Let this Christmas be the time that you truly encounter the perfect love of Jesus, He is with us!

In this timely message, Rosie shares her thoughts on how we can finish the year strong and set ourselves up to step into 2024 with hope, courage, vision and authority. This message is a call for the church to be intentional this summer as we guard our hearts, practise intentional sonship, “buy” the oil of intimacy with the Holy Spirit and hold fast to our Kingdom vision.As we draw near to the Lord and take time to let go of any cares and burdens we may be still carrying from 2023, we are positioning ourselves to receive a fresh infilling of the Spirit and the fullness of the Father's blessing this Christmas, and His radical grace, joy and breakthrough in the coming year.

In this message, Phil gave a keynote address to a company of regional leaders at our recent Heart Revolution Leaders' Refreshing Day. He explored the work of the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of Adoption, the work of the Father, and the work of the Son as they intentionally collaborate together to take us deeper in our sonship journey. The Three-in-One desire to birth a similar intentionality in our hearts as we learn to cooperate with them in embracing what Phil calls ‘Deep Sonship.'  This message had a significant impact on our region's leaders, and we pray it has a similar impact on you as you listen.

As Tribe moves into its silver jubilee celebrations, we were joined by Pastor Fini and so blessed to receive a great word of encouragement about the key values that Tribe has fought for. With great vulnerability, joy and courage, Fini shared six key themes that define Tribe Church:1. The presence of God is a stand-out value!2. Praying for the sick is a passion of this church.3. Ministering to the New Age people at national festivals and in our region has been a constant for many years!4. David's Tent worship with harp and bowl model of prayer and intercession.5. A passion for theology, including the books that have been written on healing, heart revolution, the glory, community and now sensitive prophetic people. Lastly,6. Tribe Church is a community of love. We live it to the best of our ability. We are not perfect, but we are authentic in our pursuit growing in His ability to love.We pray these values will be blessed and grown in the lives of all who visit, attend and participate in this community of faith.God is so good, and we give Him all the glory for walking us through 25 years of life together.“This is how we have discovered love's reality: Jesus sacrificed his life for us. Because of this great love, we should be willing to lay down our lives for one another.” 1 John 3:16 TPT

When He was on earth Jesus went about modeling what it looks like to be on God's mission. He told the people of His day that he would “only do what he saw His Father doing”. And the Father's mission was a mission that was compelled by great love!As God's children we now get to follow in Jesus' footsteps. God is sending us out on a mission to release His love and freedom into the world around us. However, just because He sends us doesn't mean that we won't have to contend as we go.In this message Rosie looks at a day in the life of Jesus and the disciples from the story in Mark 4, where Jesus crosses over to the other side of the lake, but has to calm a storm on the way.Rosie unpacks a number of myths that we can sometimes buy into as we follow in Jesus footsteps and looks at the ways God seeks to strengthen and grow us as we walk with Him.

This November we will be celebrating Tribe's 25th Birthday! Amazingly this milestone coincides with another significant date in early October, as Phil and Maria Mason celebrate 40 years of marriage, of life in the kingdom and of building and leading missional community together.Phil and Maria got saved and met each other in the Byron Shire during a revival outpouring in the early 80's. Needless to say the Lord has led them on a wild kingdom ride over the past 40 years, full of ups and downs and loads of glory.In this informal interview Phil and Ree talk about the different ways God has led and sustained them over the years. As a Tribe, this is a season to celebrate and honour all that the Lord has done, as we also look to the days ahead full of anticipation for all He is yet to do.

In our new series, we dive into messages and conversations on how to be a missional community. For us to grow and prosper, both individually and corporately, God wants to resource us with His Kingdom economy. This week, Maria takes us on a journey about the lavish generosity of God. In 1 John 3:1 we read:“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God - and that is what we are!”God is a generous Father who never does anything sparingly. He's not a tight-fisted god who gives only when we've earned something or have impressed him in some way. Humans, however, are not generous until they choose to model themselves on something! In the kingdom, we model ourselves on Jesus! Missional community is a demonstration of the lavish love of the Father.There are three things we can do to break scarcity:1. Before we can address that, we have to expose the devil daily as He attacks God's nature with accusations in this area.2. Generosity is the path to blessing. To break the fear of scarcity, we must give, not just financially but also emotionally, from our hearts.3. Put all entitlement on notice! Entitlement is a virus. God wants us to delete it from our hearts. Entitlement culture teaches that we deserve to have things given to us and that we should have special privileges.In stark contrast to today's entitlement culture, Jesus gave up His divine rights and privileges—and His own life—so that we could have eternal life and freedom. Let's become lavish and generous in all our ways!

In this Father's Day message, Phil discusses what it means to be activated by the Father's love in such a way that we are deeply awakened to our sonship identity and our divine destiny. Experiencing the Father's love switches something on inside us and literally activated us on the inside. An activated heart is an awakened heart: a heart that has been awakened by our Father's love to a state of passion and engagement. All this flows out of encountering the loving heart of our Heavenly Father.

In our new series, we dive into messages and conversations on how to be a missional community. For us to grow and prosper, both individually and corporately, God wants to resource us with His Kingdom economy. Many people have come to believe that it will all happen supernaturally, and God will foot the bill for revival. That is true on one level, but on another level, we are instructed to employ money to grow the Kingdom through entrepreneurial means and through Kingdom wealth. God has an economy, and we get in on it by participating in His strategies for Kingdom wealth! In the scriptures, we see 4 key principles to step into the Kingdom's economy and financial blessings!  Stand firm in a good God who provides for what He orders. And who desires to give us the desires of our hearts to see the Kingdom grow. Immerse yourself in Biblical truth and proclaim His goodness. Give, and it shall be given. The 2nd principle is the principle of giving out of our income regardless of what has come in! We covered 5 ways to give: tithe to a local church you belong to, give to leaders who sow into you (Terumah), give random gifts, bless others with blessings of gifts, and lastly, invest in Kingdom projects. The third principle is that God will bless your plans if you bless His. He is passionate about His Kingdom, so do whatever you must to grow the Kingdom. The last principle is to use what you have in your hand and make as much as you can to become a blessing in this life! Start businesses and prosper! Leave a legacy for the next generation!  We must repent of bad attitudes and bitter root expectancies, wrong theology and other things that are binding our minds and hearts so that we go forwards in His economy. His ways are not ours, so we must get our minds renewed and, in particular, come away from all poverty mindsets that bind our thinking. God is so good and wants to bless us so the Kingdom can increase! In Malachi, we read: “Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. I will rebuke the devourer for you so that it will not destroy the fruits of your soil, and your vine in the field shall not fail to bear, says the Lord of hosts. Then all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts.”

This week Phil brings a message on expanding our influence. Scriptures teach that God's kingdom is constantly expanding. “Of the increase of His government and peace, there shall be no end.” (Isaiah 9:7) Everything begins in seed form but grows and expands. Jesus told parables to teach us this principle. We are all called to be a part of the expansion of the kingdom and to be looking for opportunities to share Jesus with others, using the gifts God has placed in our lives. We live in the tension between Jesus' command to abide and to go. The deeper we abide, the more effective we will be when we go! The kingdom of God is within us and as the kingdom grows inside us, that expansion is expressed through the kingdom expanding in the earth. We are poised for great expansion so let's all take our place in God's ever expanding kingdom.

In this message by Ken Fish (off the back of our School of Discernment), Ken unpacks an amazing revelation that we have crossed over into a new era in Church history. We must now take possession of new lands and spaces in this time. In Joshua 1 we read: “Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” So Joshua ordered the officers of the people: “Go through the camp and tell the people, ‘Get your provisions ready. Three days from now, you will cross the Jordan here to go in and take possession of the land the Lord your God is giving you for your own.'” We are in the season of the first wave of the harvest! It's time to begin to believe again for the billion-soul harvest that God has promised. It's time to take the land and enter into this new place. Yes, the battles have been fierce but we must continue to fight and move forward now. Never think that your gifts will cover your sloppiness. You must be diligent. Let us overcome and prepare for what is ahead! Ken went on to share 6 key areas that we must not let go of. This word was followed by a time of breaking off intimidation and impartation—an amazing message filled with fire and courage. 

Today's message is from our friend Glenn Rowbotham from the House of Prayer in Mount Carmel in Israel. In Mark 11:17, we read: “My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.” Jesus calls us to pray. He calls us to pray for the nations and to give our lives for His purposes. Inspired by David's tabernacle, where 288 singers and 4,000 musicians were employed as their full-time occupation to minister to the Lord and serve the community, Houses of Prayer are rising up all over the earth. Many of these prayer houses are fuelled by young people. The current average age of the people manning these houses in prayer worldwide is now 22! God is on the move! Never before has there been a time when so many have been praying. When we partner with God, in prayer, we cannot lose. It's a divine strategy to help us build a relationship with Him. We get to enjoy God, and He gets to enjoy us. We are called to drink of Him and contend with Him for breakthroughs. Corporate prayer is everything! 

Glenn and Coralie carry a passion for seeing warriors rise and take their place as leaders. We must stand up in the Spirit for this to happen. We must quote the Word of God. We must never go it alone, and stand on His promises. There are two purposes for Houses of Prayer: to send out the harvesters, and to call in the harvest! We had a major outpouring of the Spirit at the end of this message. 

In Psalm 23, we read, “You prepare a table before me in the midst of my enemies!” What a stunning word picture, that in the midst of our troubles and even in an intense battle - God says to stop at a table and feast on Him. Here's how it reads in the Passion Translation:  “You become my delicious feast even when my enemies dare to fight. You anoint me with the fragrance of your Holy Spirit; You give me all I can drink of You until my heart overflows. So why would I fear the future? For your goodness and love to pursue me all the days of my life.” The presence of God is a continual feast for our souls. Learning to come to the table of rest and restoration is everything. As David said in Psalm 110, we are called “to rule in the midst of our enemies!” God doesn't wait for things to get better, He trains your hands for battle on the battlefield. He teaches rest as we advance and even when taking spiritual retreats. It's all about rest! Our rich heritage as believers includes the contemplative tradition where stillness and quietness are spiritual disciplines. Being still and quiet and taking time to wait on God sets us up for being filled up in our reserve tank. This infilling is not so we can serve more, it's so we can know Him more! We learn more about God when we stop and let Him fight the battle for us. As we stop, rest, take communion and focus on Him, we are allowing Him to rule over us and ultimately through us. 

In the continuation of the Life of the Warrior series, Phil focuses on the theology of spiritual breakthroughs. This is a contentious topic. Some love it, and some loath it. There are times when God calls His people to engage the enemy by pressing in for a breakthrough through prayer and praise. If we don't respond to the leading of the Spirit, we will miss the breakthrough that God has for us in that moment. Why do we have to contend for what belongs to us through inheritance? We must fight for what is ours because the devil contends against us to prevent us from obtaining our inheritance. The battle has come to us. Therefore we must fight! Jesus said, “The kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force!” (Matthew 11:12) Just as the Israelites had to take the Promised Land by force, so do we.
