Deep unto Deep Ministries |
know the lover of your soul
Deep calls to deep in the roar of Your waterfalls;
all Your waves and breakers have swept over me.
By day the Lord directs His love, at night His song is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life.
Ps. 42: 7-8
Welcome to Deep Unto Deep Ministries. We are a group of people who have been born anew into sonship by the heart of the Father and are taking part in the Great Romance between Jesus and His bride. It is our purpose to make room for the deep things of God that call out to the deep things in humankind. We are shepherded in this by the Holy Spirit who hovers over our lives even as He did the waters of creation. It is our desire to help in building up the Body of Christ so that it functions in maturity in its call to bring the Kingdom of God to earth.

"Normal Christian Life""My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge ... a people without understanding will come to ruin." (Hosea 4: 6, 14b) "He who believes in Me as the Scripture has said from his innermost being shall flow springs and rivers of living water." (John 7:38, portrayed in the photo at right) The normal Christian life as we often experience it is a far cry from the normal Christian life found in scripture. Jesus spent 3 years modeling and teaching the standard for our destiny on the earth. The task is very straightforward: to bring the Kingdom of God here. "Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Fulfilling this mandate requires several things. First and foremost, we must know God as our Father and ourselves as His sons and daughters. Intimacy is everything. Any service we render apart from relationship with God is illegitimate service. Then there are the practical skills to learn such as healing the sick, casting out demons, raising the dead, and being watchmen on the wall. These are all things that are only possible through a life of sonship and through the empowering of the Spirit. There is, however, a learning curve. Jesus spent 3 years actively teaching these things to his disciples and then commanded them to teach everyone else what they had learned (see the Great Commission of Matthew 28: 18-20). |
And that leads us to a major problem in the here and now. Most of us have never been taught these fundamental truths.
We are unsure of our identities, clueless about warfare and the realities of unseen realms, and ill-equipped to heal, deliver, and raise the dead (both literally and figuratively). That must change if we are ever going to really function as the Body (that is, the extension) of Christ on the earth. We have developed teachings about some of these "normal Christian life" issues. This will at least give you a place from which to begin. We welcome your questions and the chance to dialogue about these things. On the Blogs page, you will find entries such as Warfare 101, Healing 101, God as Father and us as Sons, God as Husband, the Relationship between Israel and the Gentile church, The Truth of our Identity. |
