Springs Of Life CF Conference - 2014 : Session - 5
This is the Live Broadcasting of Springs Of Life CF Conference - 2014 on 15th and 16th November
Summary
The speaker emphasizes that the New Testament's main emphasis, particularly after Pentecost, is on dependence on the Holy Spirit, which the speaker calls the Apostolic Doctrine. He draws a parallel between the Old Testament Tabernacle, which was a pattern for God's dwelling among people, and the local church today. The key takeaways are that God desires to dwell among His people, and that the church must be built exactly according to the divine pattern.

Focusing our attention on JesusThe speaker encourages the congregation to stand and focus their entire attention solely on Jesus during this time of thanksgiving.
A prayer for God's presence and libertyThe speaker leads a prayer thanking God for His mercy and asking for the Holy Spirit to bring freedom and liberty to everyone present.
Focusing on what is often overlookedThe speaker introduces the session by stating that while much truth exists in the Bible, the focus will be on important things that are often neglected in modern preaching.
The Tabernacle as a pattern for the ChurchUsing the Book of Exodus, the speaker explains that the Old Testament Tabernacle was a picture of God dwelling among His people, which serves as a model for how the modern Church should function.
Dying to self to fulfill God's righteousnessReflecting on Jesus' baptism, the speaker explains that true service requires dying to one's own will and ego, even if others misunderstand you, in order to fulfill all righteousness.
Letting God be your judgeJust as Jonah allowed himself to be submerged, we should let God justify us instead of trying to prove ourselves right through human conflict.
Lessons on a simple and faithful lifeReflecting on the wisdom of a respected servant of God, the speaker shares principles of praying only to the Father, living simply, and remaining calm under attack.
God's impartial righteousness and Jesus our AdvocateWhile God is an impartial Father who shows no favoritism, He is also a righteous Judge and we have Jesus Christ as our Advocate who stands for the truth.
Our destination is becoming like JesusBelieving in God provides a ticket for a journey that transforms us from our sinful nature into the likeness of Jesus Christ.
How to know if you are on the right trackYou can tell you are in the right 'train' if you are moving closer to Christ rather than remaining stuck in old sins or moving backward.
The true purpose of our livesWe are not sent into this world merely to perform tasks or achieve worldly success, but to be transformed into the image of Christ.
The willingness to become a servantThe speaker asks if anyone would be willing to become an ant to help another ant, noting that God's plan for humanity involves a level of humility beyond human expectation.
Jesus as the ultimate servantEven though Jesus was a teacher, He took up a basin to wash His disciples' feet, demonstrating that true leadership is found in serving others.
Closing prayer and transition to Q&AThe speaker concludes the teaching with a prayer for God's word to take root in hearts and announces an upcoming break before the Q&A session.
