Living By Faith - Neither Poverty or Riches

In this second lesson of the Kingdom School, Torben helps us see how Abraham is also our father and what that means. He explains how the covenant of circumcision has not changed. Today, we are circumcised not by human hands but by Christ when we are baptized into Him. All of this points to Christ and the new birth, and from here, it points to the return of Christ. This will provide great revelation and help you see a bigger picture of the Gospel we believe in.Follow Torben's Story here:TorbenSondergaard.comLive the Life of a Disciple of Jesus:TheLastReformation.com

One day, many will say, "Lord, Lord, did we not...?" but they will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Yes, we need to prophesy, cast out demons, and heal the sick as the Bible has called us to do. But we also need to live righteously. We need the right foundation. This first lesson is an important one; we will come back to it again and again as we take you through the Bible from one end to the other. Follow Torben's Story here:TorbenSondergaard.comLive the Life of a Disciple of Jesus:TheLastReformation.com

It took 300 days, and finally, Torben experienced the freedom in the midst of the persecution that the early disciples faced. For the next 120 days, God called him to create this teaching series and write two books. This was all part of the truth of the kingdom that Torben is sharing in this new series. God spoke: Make My people ready for what is coming. In jail, God revealed the gospel of the kingdom to Torben, and it set him free. It took 300 days, but now it is here to help you. Now the time has come to share it with everyone out here to make us strong and ready—to be strong and see much fruit as disciples of Christ, one day entering into His Kingdom. See this introduction where you get a taste of what to expect in this new transformation series—in this new KINGDOM SCHOOL.Follow Torben's Story here:TorbenSondergaard.comLive the Life of a Disciple of Jesus:TheLastReformation.com

Do you feel frustrated with a missionary calling inside you, just waiting to come out? Stop dreaming and take action! Or perhaps you think you will never live in another country...Welcome to the club! We once thought the same, but how wrong we were. Take a moment to reflect on this and be challenged.Follow Torben's Story here:TorbenSondergaard.comLive the Life of a Disciple of Jesus:TheLastReformation.com

We are seeing true transformation here in Mexico, spreading to other places and churches. What we are witnessing right now is extraordinary. We are working together with many pastors and their churches, and it is not just another conference or meeting; we are seeing transformation and reformation. The churches' DNA is being changed so that those who experience it can never go back. Many pastors have even decided to be baptized again, as their previous baptisms as children did not involve repentance. Now, they are experiencing a new reality filled with the Holy Spirit, leading to a freedom from sin that they have never felt before. In the last three weeks, we have seen seven pastors baptized, and we are currently working with several pastors and leaders on more training and teaching. What is happening is beautiful and unique. It is the fruit of what God did in jail. He spoke about this. He did a work in me that made this possible. Follow Torben's Story here:TorbenSondergaard.comLive the Life of a Disciple of Jesus:TheLastReformation.com

On this week’s episode of the podcast we are discussing the prosperity Gospel.There is a big problem with the "prosperity gospel" which has been influencing so many people - but it's also a problem if we go in the other "ditch" and try to live the "poverty gospel." There is a middle road where God wants us to walk when it comes to money. This is the fourth teaching in the series LIVING BY FAITH, where this time we are looking at a very important verse in Proverbs 30: Pro 30:7 "Two things I ask of you, LORD; do not refuse me before I die: Pro 30:8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give the neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Pro 30:9, I may have too much and disown you and say, 'Who is the LORD?' Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God." We are looking at the balance between being rich and being poor, and how the Bible is clear that God is TESTING us when it comes to money. He is testing us to see where our heart is.You can find the podcast on… Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/this-is-real/id1614226244 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5vIr0DxX2op7rV6MdNNnp4 Everywhere Else: https://torbensondergaard.buzzsprout.com/Follow Torben's Story here:TorbenSondergaard.comLive the Life of a Disciple of Jesus:TheLastReformation.com

 We need to learn how it is to live in FAITH - how it is to KNOW that we have a Father in Heaven who WILL take care of us!  Jesus said that we should not worry about food, about clothes, or about any of those things.  Instead, we should look at the birds in the sky and at the flowers in the field.  When God takes care of THEM, will He not also take care of US?  In this third lesson of our series LIVING BY FAITH, I'm sharing some amazing testimonies of how we started to step into this life - how God took care of us - how God gives to us according to our needs - and how we can live a life dependent on Him and no other!  I believe this teaching will bless many of you, but it will also challenge you as we are looking at Jesus' words that "No one can serve two masters.  We cannot serve both God and mammon."  Follow Torben's Story here:TorbenSondergaard.comLive the Life of a Disciple of Jesus:TheLastReformation.com

The truth is, many people out there are slaves - who want to serve God but cannot, because they are slaves to the house and slaves to the job - slaves to a system that's keeping them down. But, there is a way - a way where we are working - not for a ministry - not for an organization - not for a church - but where we are working in our FATHER's business - where we are learning to walk in faith and be dependent upon HIM! Follow Torben's Story here:TorbenSondergaard.comLive the Life of a Disciple of Jesus:TheLastReformation.com

This is an important teaching about what the Bible says about provision - about money. We're going to look at Paul and how he, for a season, was a tent-maker, but also how he had time where he got supported in another way. We're going to look at Jesus and how God set rich women around Jesus to support His ministry, how God was able to multiply the little He had, and how there was even money in the mouth of a fish. Follow Torben's Story here:TorbenSondergaard.comLive the Life of a Disciple of Jesus:TheLastReformation.com

This crucial teaching about how the Spirit empowers us to endure imprisonment, persecution, and martyrdom comes from someone who has experienced some of it. Please listen, be filled with the Spirit, and remain full of the spirit so you can stand strong on that day and not be like Peter and the other apostles before they were filled with the Spirit. Act 1:8  "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses (μάρτυς martus mar'-toos) in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Follow Torben's Story here:TorbenSondergaard.comLive the Life of a Disciple of Jesus:TheLastReformation.com
