Level Up

A message by Ty Stevenson. 

Matt Lansdowne recently prophesied that God is calling us ‘higher’ as a church, to position us even more so as a periscope or crows nest for sight and perspective for the body of Christ. So how do we practically move higher and experience this ‘higher’ perspective for our own lives first?

In this message, Ty presents the idea that God has us all on a unique, leadership developmental timeline and at the heart of our ‘calling’ or destiny is not simply doing a task or role, but being your life message through that task. These life messages are formed through painful seasons where we have met God in our pain and walked through it with him. Transforming who we are as we now embody part of God’s heart and nature. We now know him as healer / redeemer / comforter / provider etc. This is where powerful authentic ministry flows from.

See what this looked like for Joseph and Jesus as they each navigated the process of trusting God’s timing for their lives.

What is my life message you might ask? Here are a couple of questions to start exploring this journey:

What have been some key shaping events in my life?

Who has God revealed himself to be during these times?

If you are currently in a season of struggle, believe with me, these words that God has been speaking and fulfilling:

“I AM BREAKING THROUGH AND MAKING ALL THINGS NEW”

The core of this message is to always journey with Jesus. Remembering that any ‘right’ decision or positive change that makes us less dependant on Jesus is a failure, but every mess, mistake or failure that causes us to get closer to Jesus actually becomes a success.
