If you are ready to go deeper in your understanding of God’s colorful nature, then we invite you to join this class!

We all have an assignment on the Mountain of Family. Our initial and most important assignment on every mountain is to first see that aspect of the face of God that is relevant for that mountain and then study and gaze at Him long enough to understand our mission.

We usually go after family matters in a backwards way—going after behavioral manifestations and seeking to work at things from that end. Therefore, we’re usually trying to stop divorce, abortions, homosexuality, adultery, fornication, abuse, etc.—rather than prioritizing looking at the face of Papa God.

He was Creator and He is still Creator and He’s actually a compulsive creative. If we can’t see Him in this way, we’re going to have a hard time bringing successful reformation to the Mountain of Celebration (of Arts and Entertainment). Many think our primary mission on this mountain is to bring values and the message of salvation to the big screen, but it really isn't. Those are assignments for those on the Mountain of Religion, where we showcase the Redeemer face of God. He’s joyfully creative and that manifestation of His creativity brings heaven’s wow factor with it to earth. His creativity always reveals His glory and it's meant to touch our emotions deeply.

Mammon gets overthrown when the lie behind Mammon gets overthrown by the truth of who God is as Provider. Therefore our starting place is gazing at our Father as Provider and absorbing that truth into our ever-expanding perspective of who God is. As we look at Him as Provider, we're reminded that one of His primary names is Jehovah-Jireh which means “God is Provision.” This is an important understanding of God. Not only can He provide, but it is in fact something He is. He doesn’t need to try to drum up a business or provision strategy to assist us. He is Provision.

We’ve celebrated this aspect of who He is so much that we’ve preached and lived as though this were all He is. It’s clearly the greatest facet of His face for us as lost humanity. A redeemer is one who gains possession by payment or ransom. It’s the payment for a prisoner. We believe we all came from the heart of God before He put us on earth, but we’re born lost and in need of being ransomed. All have sinned, and it’s sin that separates us from the privilege of living eternally with God.

If the end game is the true knowledge of God, then the entire process is a progressive education. As we gaze at Him as Teacher we see a God who cares more about us than about what He’s trying to teach us. In our school systems, we’re generally made to feel that the instruction is actually more important than us. A one-size-fits-all approach is taken and if we don't happen to make that connection, we're flunked. We'’re just another number and we learn to bend to the system or we’re considered failures.

God is the King, the President, the Governor, the Prime Minister, the Emperor, the Ruler of heaven and earth. God is all-powerful. There is zero rebellion or opposition in Heaven and the speck of a speck of a speck of evil and rebellion that exists on planet earth is something He could quickly and easily take care of alone—but He has chosen to show powers and principalities that He has a church/Bride that can also take care of His business and His interests. In His almightiness, He has chosen to crush Satan’s rebellion under our feet. His omnipotence is beyond needing help, but He has strategically chosen to “need” us.

The discovery of who God is in us and what parts of His image we were best designed to carry is a search and journey all in itself. The large majority of people in the Body of Christ express having much doubt as to what their assignment is.
